Talked uii the (Subsidy Hill.
akiiington, Dec. Kl. Senator Hanna
was one of the attractions of the senate
this morning, because of his speecn
favoring the ship-subsidy bill, while the
Clark senatorial question and the British
treaty were added featuree, and, conse
quently, the galleries were crowded.
Senator Money offered a resolution
directing the president to open negotia
tions with Groat Britain, for abrogation
of the Clayton-Bulwer treat. It was
laid on the table.
Senator Hanna began his speech, citing
the case of lake marine growtii us an
example of what had been achieved. He
declared what was true of the commerce
elsewhere.
Hanna further said he did not propoee
to run away from tho tongue of slander
or tiie imputations of improper motives,
in connection with the ship subsidy bill,
made by some of the oppouents of the
measure, lhere are many people lavor
able to the upbuilding of thu merchant
marine, but they have been misled and
influenced by the misrepresentations ap
parently wilfully made. Tho passage of
tills bill declared Hanna, will create in
live years more of a ship capacity than
we have now iu nil our yards. Hanna
completed his speech at '2 o'clock, and
tiie senate went Into executive session.
In the house the holiday recess wos fixed
from December -M to January 3.

Statehood ot Arizona.
Los Axgki.us, Cai., Dec. 13. A strong
light is to be made in congress for the
admieeion of Arizona as a state. It has
been the understanding with politicians
that when the territory would elect a
republican delegate to congress, thereby
showing that there was little likelihood
of adding two democrats to the eesate,
that statehood would be couferred on
the territory. That has now been done
by a large majority. The citizins of
Arizona no longer go about the towns
loaded down with shooting irons, and all
the implements which marked the semi
barbarism of the territory a dozen years
ago have been relegated to the past.
The increase iu population has been re
markable, while its agricultural, mining
and stock industries all seem to warrant
the placing of the territory on a footing
of equality with other portions of the
country where civilization has been per
manently established.
