llnois will re-enact the anti-trust law
eliminating section 9, which was de
clared unconstitutional by the United
States supreme court, tho stato will
have the most effectivo anti-trust law
extant." This decision, according to
Chicago newspapers, will result in tho
dismissal of suits against 700 corpora
tions In Cook county.
REPUBLICAN CAUCUS.
On the evening of March 11 the re
publicans held another futile caucus
on the Cuban reciprocity question.
Those who were opposed - to doing
anything for Cuba attempted to ad
journ the caucus sine die, but on then
motion of Speaker Henderson the ad
journment was taken until March 18.
This is regarded as a distinct triumph
for the president in his contest with
the house majority. The Chicago Record-Herald
says: "No more angry
crowds of men fiver wnllrnrl onf. nf tho
frail of the house than were the beet
people of the west when they started
home at half past midnight. They de
nounced President Roosevelt, the
speaker, the powers that bo in the
house, the sugar trust, leading repub
lican senators and all who had aided
in their undoing. This bitterness of
defeat, which now threatens to disrupt
the party organization of the house,
the speaker and his aids will try to
allay. They have a week's time in
which to do it. ' They intend to seek
some compromise which will bring
about a better state of feeling. With
out much doubt they could have forced
through tonight, by a very slender
majority, a proposition to adopt the
20 per cent reduction bill. But they
preferred not to do it, and to have an
other week in which to pour oil on
the troubled waters."
In the caucus Representative Sibley
of Pennsylvania proposed a comprom
ise to the effect that the 20 per cent
reduction shall bo effective only un
til December 31, 1903, thus permitting
the Cubans to market two crops of su
gar at the reduced rate, after which
the old rates are to be restored.
SHIP SUBSIDY BILL.
On March 10 Senator Vest of Mis
souri addressed the senate for nearly
two hours in opposition to the ship
subsidy bill. He particularly attacked
the present navigation laws which he
declared were relics of barbarism and
responsible for the decline of our mer
chant marine. He declared that tho
passage of the bill would create a
monopoly of shipping interests in this
country. Senator Bacon of Georgia
asked Senator Frye if it was not true
that the ship yards of the United
States who are. to be the recipients to
a large extent of this bounty were not
now in a more prosperous condition
than for many years past. Senator
Frye said: "It is true." Senator Vest
took up this point and quoted from
an address to the Chicago board of
trade by President McKinley a little
more than a year ago, wherein the
president said that tho ship building
interests of the United States were in
a more prosperous condition, than any
time since 1854; that the ship yards
were full of orders and that we were
rapidly approaching the time when we
could rival Great Britain in building
ships for the foreign trade. Senator
Vest also quoted from the annual re
port of the commissioner of naviga
tion in which he said that in June,
1901, he had addressed communica
tions to the forty-six ship yards of the
United States asking them for a de
tailed account of their business and
the amount of the contracts for build
ing vessels then on hand. The result
of this investigation disclosed tiiat
$65,000,000 are Invested in forty-six
ship yards in this country; that there
are now under contract vessels of, the
United States amounting In cost to
$78,000,000; that there are vessels of
tho merchant marine now under con
struction in these ship yards amount
ing in cost to $36,000,000, and that
there aro 45,000 laborers or operatives
employed in theso ship yards. Sena
tor Vest said: "This is tho poor,
struggling, emaciated industry which
we aro now to subsidize out of tho tax
money of the people of this country."
Then Senator Vest presented a state
ment taken from tho Chicago Tribune,
one of the leading republican papers,
which, in October last, sont reporters
to every ship yard in the country and
published tho answers given by the
owners and superintendents of those
yards. Tho Tribune's headlines on
this article tell the story. Here they
are: "No subsidy to ship builders
and all busy- Every working yard in
tho country crowded with big orders
and more in sight Prosper without
aid Capital being invested in vessels
to meet the legitimate demands
Ocean liners on stocks Some of tho
steamers in course of construction to
bo among the largest in the world
Many plants to be enlarge." Senator
Vest contended that these disclosures
showed that the shipping interests of
tho United States had not been neg
lected. He pointed out that twenty
five years ago when he first came to
the senate, the first thing ho heard
from the ship yard owners was the
statement that if they had raw ma
terialpig iron free, they could suc
cessfully compete with tho world in
building ships. Senator Vest said:
"We gave them free raw material; we
