It is contended that the subsidy will estab
lish u regular line of ships , making at least
fortnightly trips between New York and
New Orleans and the countries south , nnd
that such a line will at once open up our ex
ports and create a largo trade , winch will
soon bring In moro'protits ' than the subsidy
outlay. The matter of having prompt and
rapid malt facilitos Is not the primary object
by any means. It is n question of opening

subsidies than the senate and the fate of the
senate amendment Is uncertain.

Pending lurther discussion thn morning

increased the appropriation SX,000 : ) over

to criticize the democrats for Increasing the

of the legation at Constantinople from § 1,000
to Sl.bO'J , not that he objected tn tlio appro
priation itself but he wauled to call attention
to tlio fact that in prior years this steam
launch had given rise to long discussions on
the other side about rcmibllcan extravagance.
Mr. Morrison moved tlmt the appropriation
bo reduced to § 1,000. If former minlstris
had been able to get along with that sum , ho
could not sen why the present minister could
not. A running debate of a humoroiK charac
ter ensued , and nt its close.Morrison's motion

that as his republican friends were voting
against him , und ills democratic friends were
with him , ho would not raise the uolnt of a

mittee rose and the house adjourned.
No Sedition Laws.
WASHINGTON , May 12. [ Special. ] There
Is talk about a law to prohibit seditious utter
ances nnd agitation of nets which lead to
violence , such ns have taken place at Chicago
during tlio past ten days and which have
been threatenlni : Cincinnati. Several states
men are cudirellng their brains to Invent a
proposition which can be worked Into a
practicable law which will punish all t'Jch
persons ns those foreigners nt Chicago who
advised the roughs to arm themselves vt Ith
Infernal machines , rlflos , olc , , and It is likely
that something will bo evolved which will
prohibit tlio Inciting ot any nnd nil concerted
moves which lend to bloodshed or the de
struction of property. It Is n delicate nnd
complicated question , nnd those who have
studied It say it Is verydlflicnlt to frame n
bill which will be constitutional nnd which
will at the same time go far enough to eradi
cate the evil. _

Lumbermen Delimit ,
CHICAGO , 111. . May 12.-Spcclal [ Tolo-
gram. ] The position of the lumbermen was
definitely deliued by Mr. Yanschalck this
morning.
"Wo will not make nny change in our at
titude , " ho raid , "In the sense of offering any
Imtlier concessions to tnc men If they wnlt
until the day of icsurrcctlou , nnd they might
as well understand that now. Wo will set
no time for resuming oper.itlons , because we
are In no hurry to resume. Wo propose to
watt until men come to us and say tlmt they
arc ready to go to work , nnd If they put that
olt too long It may become n busi
ness necessity for us to ; ISK them
to work for something less than the schedule
of Inst year which they have not yet seen fit
to pccopt. There nro thrco reasons why it Is
absurd to ask us to concede to tlio eight hour
demand. The first Is that only two points In
the United States , Chlenuo aud Milwaukee ,
make such n demand nnd to concede It would
be to put ourselves nt the mcroy of the MIs-
sls-slupi river nnd other markets which , with
out this advantage , have In tlm last
live years reduced the trade of :
Chicago from 2.100,000,000 to 1,700.003,000
feet per year. The second nnson Is tlmt
trade Is naturally drifting away from hero ,
and the third Is that at last year's rates ,
wages are twenty-live cents higher hero than
at nny competing point These icasons will
not change , neither will the lumbermen , and
the worklngmen's meeting will not do them
any good until they meet and decide to sur
render.
A FOOLISH OFriCIAL.
Mr. Van Schaek said that the indignation
of the lumbermen had been thoroughly
aroused by a speech made by Joseph Grucn-
hut at n meeting of the eight hour committee
yesterday.
"Lumbermen it " said
regard as nil outrage ,
Mr. Vnn Schnck , "tlmt the mayor should
continue. In office , at n time like this , n mnn
that declares tlmt strikers have no right to
resist the police in tholr efforts to preserve
order. That man Is a dlscraco to tlio city ,
nnd Mayor Harrison cannot escape the sever
est ceusuio If lin refuses to remove him. "
Idle strikers In the southwestern lumber
district , numbering 10,000 , more or loss , nro
beginning to feel sorely pressed for wnntot
ready cash. Their smnllrcsourccs are appar
ently exhausted , and thu present situation
gives little prospects of anything but starva
tion ahead. Tlio careworn wile of one of
the strikers said this morning that many of
the women in tliu distiict were going out to
do washing to eke out their means of exist
ence. Lumber yards nnd planing mills still
remain Idle.
Several sounds of heavily armed police nro
patrolling the entire district nnd preventing
the nssemblnceof crowds , just ns wns done
yesterday. There Is no violence or disorder
reported from any section. McCormtck's po
lice guard has been reduced to live. The
