without worrying as to the future of legislation The breathing spell however Is giv ing those massed on each side of the great measures now pending oppor tunity to strengthen their lines to re pair their weak spots anil to net ready to make onslaughts upon the weak points of the opposite side This seems to be eminently true of the two great Isthmian canal advocates the advo cates of the Panama and tho ndvocates of the Nicaragua loutes Tho manner In which J rent Urltalu acts upon the Hay Iauncoloto treaty all seem agreed will decide the fate of caual legislation timing tho current session Quite a few nro begiunlng to believe that the llrltlsh government will defer action until It Is too late for congress to pass any canal constructing bill Judging from the amount of space given up to the discussion of the de tails aud the prospects of the shipping bill In the picss of the country It Is one cf the inot prouilmut subjects In the public mind today The enemies of the bill have been putting forth the statement that the pissago of the mensuro will be of no assistance t American shipping and will In no way Increase the tonnage under the Ameri can flag In the foreign trade The friends of the bill have countered on this assertion by pointing out that no one will be permitted to enjoy a dol lars worth of benefit under the bill until he has actually had built aud put Into operation In our foreign trade new vessels constructed In American shipyards So they my if the bill does not Increase American shipping It will take nothing fiom the national treas ury The rural press of the country seems to be devoting Its consideration of the bill to that feature which will bo of greatest benefit to agriculturists The friends of the bill are assisting them iu this by saying that unless the new American ships put Into existence un der the bill are willing to carry our ex ports cheaper than they are now car ried they will not secure the carrying of them and that unless they do carry cargoes outward they receive no com pensation under the bill Senator Krye Is being widely quoted as having said In his speech In the senate that while the bill will take nine millions a year from the tieasury It will effect a re duction In freight rates of fifty mil lions a year The opposition to the shipping bill doi K uot deny Hint ltn paRsage would add to the llerceness of the competition between American and foreign vessels untl that ocean freight rates would probably for years to come be grently lowered anil the general nhlpplug In terests of the entire world be most se riously nflecletl The frlendR of the bill admit the truth of this but they Bay that the effect will be to force the adoption of economics In construction ami Iu operation that will still yield 11 prollt to the shipowner It Is here that Yaukee Ingenuity is expected to come to the tiKslhtance of prospective American hhlpowucn and place them with brautl new much more econom ical ships thau foreigners possess iu a position to earn a prollt Iu operation however tierce the competition of the foreign ships now enjoying 00 per ceut of our ocean carrying It seenm to bo generally agreed so fur as this particular measure is con cerned that the president will be the deciding factor its to Its passage If he Indicates Iu that tactful way which so Impresses our national legislators that he regards the passage of the shipping bill us of vital Importance to our natlouul security aud our national welfare as he has beeu quoted as saying then beyond n doubt the bill will be passed with such amendments tacked to It as Its enemies can sue ceeil Iu forcing upon its friends to minimize Its effects so far as possible It is well known that tho president discourages In every way and at all times the suggestion of an extra ses sion Certainly the house has made it clear that it will not be due lo any delay in that branch of con giess that necessity for an extra ses sion will arise The amount of work pei formed bythe bouse during the two weeks preceding the holiday recess lias rarely If ever beeu equaled by any legislative body The senate sct nia indifferent to such an example ami the delay aud diug in legislation will be in that branch as it always is aud most exasperutiugly so during the short aud therefoie limited session J Ii A ltfcg TUB NORFOLK NEWS FRIDAY JANUARY 1 1001
