The trustees and superintendent of the Inititute for the Blind sent a splendid spray St roses and carnations. A magnificent itand of roses and lilies was the tribute of the Columbia Club. The Young Ladies Mount and Landls Club, of.Wlngate. Ind., remembered their departed idol with a rich spray Qf roses, hyacinths and carnations. Ex-Governor W. S. Taylor, of Kentucky, and Mrs. Taylor mingled their gratitude and respect In a beautiful wreath of roses, carnations and hyacinths. One of the most ornate of the floral tributes was that given by the members of Governor Mount's military staff, which was a national flag worked out in varicolored flowers, with long streamers depending from the staff, carrying the inscription: "In Memory of Our Chief, from Ills Military Staff." Culver Military Academy, on Lake Maxinkuckee, was always the object of especial favor on the part of (Jovemor Mount, who made the cadets of the Black Horse Troop of the school honorary members of his stafT and had them f-s his escort on several Important State occasions. The students and Superintendent A. F, Fleet reciprocated the Governor's kindness by sending a magnificent pillar of flowers, resting In a deep bed of ferns and roses, the whole surmounted by a white dove of peace, with wings outstretched and carrying ribbons In Its beak. The executive committee of the Y. M. C. A. remembered the man who often gave freely to It of hi3 aid and counsel with a handsome floral panel on a fern-covered easel. The deputies and other employes In the Statehouse offered a3 their tribute a rich design of lilies, roses, hyacinths and ferns tastefully grouped. The employes of Central Hospital were represented by a magnificent panel of flowers, standing four feet high. A separate f oral panel was the tribute of Superintendent George F. Edenharter, Mrs. Edenharter and their son Ralph, all of whom held Governor Mount In highest esteem and warmest friendship. FROM KNIGHTS OF FYTHIAS. A Coral design that attracted the attention of everybody who visited the Statehouse yesterday was the tribute of the Indianapolis Knights of Pythias. This piece was a faithful reproduction of a K. of P. badge In flowers and immortelles, the flowers being chosen as to color to correctly imitate the shades shown on a real badge. Many other beautiful and appropriate floral pieces were arranged artistically about the catafalque. An Indescribable effect was lent to the scene by the radiance from red, white and blue electric lights which beat down upon it from chandeliers on the balcony railings above. A touching tribute paid to the deceased was the bringing from Lebancn of the splendid silk banner belonging to the Wilder Brigade, to be used as a patriotic drapery over the coffin containing the body of the ex-Governor. Mr. Mount was a distinguished member of the famous old brigade and the flag was the gift of his life-long friend and comrade General A. O. Miller, and his brother " members of the brigade. This banner was inscribed with the names of the battles in which General Wilder and the heroes under his command participated In the civil war. Nothing could have been more appropriate than that the body of Sergeant Mount, who risked his life as a member of the famous band of warriors, should have at the last been carried to the grave wrapped in the folds of Its banner. At 1:30 o'clock yesterday afternoon the remains were taken from the rotunda of the Capitol and escorted by the military to the First Presbyterian Church, where the funeral services were held. The procession was made up in the same manner as heretofore detailed, but the line of march was north on Capitol avenue to New York street, thence east to the church. Members of the Senate and House of Representatives followed the cavalcade, marching In a body along the sidewalks. SERVICES AT THE CHURCH.

were held. Rev. Matthals L. Haines, pastor of the First Presbyterian Church, of which ex-Governor Mount was an active member, waa the officiating minister and he wa assisted by Rev. J. Cummlng Smith, pastor of Tabernacle Presbyterian Church. The services were inaugurated by the quartet choir, composed of Messrs. Nell, Greene and Van Wie and-Mrs. Nell, singing "Rock of Ages" in low tones, full of feeiing. Mrs. Charl3 F. Hansen presided at the organ. The only attempt at reserving seats in the church was to provide place3 for Mrs. Mount and the members of the immediate family and circle of friends. Aside from this, the church wa3 filled to overflowing with people of all stations in life. The rich trapping and uniforms of high military officers rested against clothes of private citizens. People of wealth and culture sat side by side with those whose closest companion Is poveity and to whom learning is a total stranger. General Harrison and his wife occupied chairs near the front of the church. It was a graphic Illustration of the way in which death brushes aside all distinctions of caste. The vast congregation, made up as it was of all sorts and conditions of men, had but one moving Impulseto pay tribute of respect to the memory of one who held the esteem of ah. The coffin was placed on a low platform, hung with black, just In front of the rostrum, which was heavily draped, forming a black background for rich masses of flowers and palms a splendid symbol of death in the midst of beautiful, fragrant life. The casket was hidden beneath the rich fold3 of a silken banner, which was In turn covered with wreaths of flowers. DR. HAINES'S PRAYER. When the sympathetic strains of the grand old hymn died away into silence the voice of the officiating minister was lifted in eloquent prayer. Dr. Haines said: "Almighty and most merciful God, Our Father, who dost not willingly grieve or ainict the children of men, look down in tender love and pity, we beseech Thee, upon Thy servants here gathered, whose joy has so suddenly been turned into mourning, and accord to the multitude Thy tender mercies. Be pleased to uphold and strengthen and comfort them. Give unto us all a sense of Thy presence and of Thy love to us In Jesus Christ, and help us all even now to realize that 'earth hath no sorrow that heaven cannot heal.' And may the peace of God that passeth all understanding: keep our hearts and llve3 through Jesus Christ, Our Lord. Amen." Dr. Haines read the burial service of the Fresbyterlan Church, which Is composed of appropriate passages of Scripture, after which he talked briefly and with feeling end eloquence as follows: "What great and gracious message Is contained In these words! While they do not take away from us our sorrow, yet they reveal those eternal truths in the light of which we are enabled to bear it as a part of the will of the all-wise and all-merciful Father. When one loved and honored goes out from us, the shadow of a dark cloud rests upon us, but we realize that it Is no black, remediless fate that darkens out sky. No enemy hath done this. 'The Lord gave and the Lord hath taken away. Then the darkness over us is but the shadow of His wing. Death Is no accident, whether It comes soon or late, after long and repeated warnings or unexpectedly. It is appointed unto men, and so It is a part of God's will. This the large truth which gives us resignation, and Christian resignation is not mere submission to the inevitable. It is putting God before us and our sorrow. Christian resignation is submission to God in hope. It enables us to look forward with confidence to that time and that land when sorrow for us shall have performed Its mission and be ended; when darkness shall give way to light and God shall wipe away all teara from our eyes. Then we shall begin to realize that the sorrows of our earthly life are needed disciplines and are not worthy to be compared with the glory which shall be revealed in us, and the very heart of these messages of God which we have read together from His word to-day Is in that disclosure of His life to us in J sus Christ, in the giving of Him to bo the Savior from sin and from death as well as from the power of hopeless sorrow. Through His work of redemption human sin is forgiven and death is changed into the gateway of life. 'O, Death, where Is thy sting? Thanks be unto our Lord Jesus Christ who hath abolished death abollsheu deat not the physical experience of it, but the fear of it, and hath brought life and immortality to light through His gospel! Even in'our grief we praise Him. then, for that tender and great gospel, the good news of whose truths and blessings, as deep as man's utmost needs, as high as man's highest opportunities, and as rich as the measureless love of the Infinite Father. These are the truths which, as one sent to e a minister of that gospel, I am permitted to voice at this time. THE BEREAVEMENT. "I am not here to dwell upen the earth side of this bereavement. That forces Itself upon the minds of us all. I bear In mind that we are In the presence of death. I bear also in mind that we are here in the presenca of Him, the divine Savior, the Lord of life, by whom death has been conquered and changed Into a beautitude. ßlessed are the dead who die In the Lord; yea, saith the spirit, that they may rest from their labors.' If any man amcng us needed rest from wearing labors he whom we mourn did. He has in truth given his life an offering for the well-being of his State that he loved so loyally and served so faithfully. It Is not for me here to-day to attempt to speak of the service he rendered, the positions he filled and the manner In which he carried himself under the varied responsibilities of the strenuous and useful life that ha lived. All that has been done by those among you who have been associated with him in high places of service. A man'3 Ufa Is his truest epitaph, and in the case of this man his best eulogy. Back of all his achievements and greater than them all was the unassuming, straightforward, sturdy manhood that he developed and maintained. For he was a just man who feared God and eschewed evil, whose hands were clean and whose purpose was pure. "We are richer in this commonwealth of Indiana in that which truly dignifies life because he has lived. He has demonstrated what some men unfortunately have come to doubt that the highest success can be won by combined Industry, fidelity, honest methods and the translation of godly principle Into dally living. A great Englishman once said: 'Every man should leave behind him a monument in the recollections of his own life by his fellow-citizens.' The recollections of the life of our friend as they exist in our minds to-day and in the minds and hearts of multitudes throughout our State are his real monument. 1 do not stand here to utter words of eulogy. He himself, were he with us plain in manner, unpretentious In spirit would be quick to repudiate any attempt at raradlng his actions and his qualities of character. HAD LIMITATIONS. "He had his limitations, for like all of us he was human. But I say what all of you know, that the life of this man was noble and beneficent, high in Its purposes, fearless In its devotion to principle, kindly in its spirit, exceptionally helpful in its Influence. The highest products of our American civilization are not our civil institutions or our gigantic commercial and manufacturing enterprises. Travelers in Egypt are pointed to the pyramids and marvel at the civilization which could pile up such massive structures. Travelers in Athens look at the Acropolis and see upon it the Imposing ruins of that masterpiece of Greek arcitecture. the Parthenon. Travelers in Switzerland stand in wondering awe betöre the looming majesty of the great mountains. Here, in our commonwealth of Indiana, we have no high mountains, no matchless Parthenon, no mighty pyramids, but we have that which is nobler. The first fruit earth hold up to Its Maker 13 manhood. As a native of the State of Indiana. I rejoice to think that the soil of Indiana produces men of the type of James A. Mount. At the very foundation of hi life was his Christian faith and his Christian principle. "He loved his Bible and he received its messages of truth and warning and hope as indeed the messages of God. Ills life is a conspicuous example of the strengthening power of Christian faith, to make a man to be unwavering in his loyalty to duty and conscientiously faithful In doing the right as God gives him to see it. TALKED TO YOUNG MEN. "Only last Sunday morning he stood yonder in this room, facing a company of young men whom for successive Sabbaths, many successive Sabbaths, ho had instructed In the truths of the sacred volume. I overheard his words of farewell to those young men. With God's book in his hand, with a touch of trembling in his voice, with deep earnestness of Christian conviction, he urged them to make that Bible the man of their counsel and the divine Savior whom it revealed the Lord of their life. He, being dead. ytt speaketh. Brother men. you who in high places and you who in lowly places have been privileged to have him for your associate and

your friend, I know that I voice that which was deepest in his lite when I beseech you to make the God whom he trusted to be more and more your God, the Redeemer whom he followed to be your Redeemer. "This death that has come with such startling suddenness to us all was a death for him without warning. He needed none. Without suffering. In a moment, tho change came and the Immortal spirit went home to God. That was not death. That was translation; for him we trust and believe it was coronation. Go to that grave in all that glorious prime, in full activity of zeal and power? A Christian cannot die before his time. The Lord's appointment is the servant's hour. Amen." REV. J. CUMMING SMITH'S PRAYER. Rev. J. Cummlng Smith brought the spoken exercises to a concision with prayer, lie said: "From everlasting to everlasting. Thou art God. Thou dwellcst in light that is inaccessible and full of glory. Eternity is Thy lifetime. Our human centuries sweep past Thy throne as shadows over the open brow of summer landscapes. Thou hast founded our world a3 the cradle of an immortal race. Through throe and travail unspeakable, history has struggled upward. Men rose at Thy call, to raise our earth to higher levels. Martyrs have not quailed before the stake; statesmen have made laws; men of mind have sought new truth. We appreciate our glorious past. "Vc rejoice over our rich heritage in this land and State. We thank Thee for eveYy man who has reminded us of our starry origin and destinies. And now another name has been added to the hero-roll of unblemished honor. He sprang by Thine appointment from plain conditions, but conditions of sturdy and courageous worth. He grew evermore toward Thee and toward men. He carried a high and inflexible conscience into every sphere of conduct. In the home lay his central love, and at the hearth his blending gentleness and fidelity lent unforgotten charm. He arose to exalted office In the State, and there exhibited rare talent and unbending rectitude. He served the people, who learned to love him. He strove to elevate public institutions beyond the warp of party. He honored Thee in church, and his name carried weight in the councils of religion. He has not died. He cannot die. Thou hast promoted a servant cf distinguished devotion to a higher theater of action, and we rejoice at the legacy of spotless example he has bequeathed to all men of ambition and leadership. "Ho has left high ideals to our youth of talent and aspiration. "He has set still higher the standard of public service. "He has served his generation by the will of God and left a rare record of stainless patriotism to be embalmed in the memory of gratefuj millions. " 'Thou (wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee.' " 'He that dwelleth in the secret places of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.' "Upon those who mourn may the dew of Thy grace fall. Upon her who. mateless and companlonless, must walk the path of her future, may heaven breathe the holiest consolation. Support her while drooping under the sense of great !os3 and loneliness. Illumine her mind with a high and calming faith. Upon the kindred, those near and those afar, knit by tie ties of blood and now drawn still closer by the inspiration of sorrow, may Thy healing influences descend. May all men of leadership over their fellows receive the mantle that has fallen from the dead. May men of power be men of God. And, as we reverently lay his honored dust to rest, may a sense of our loss be sunk in the sense of his gain in the Father's house, where there are many mansions. Amen." The services ended with the singing of "Jesus, Lover of My Soul" by the choir quartet. The congregation remained seated until after the passage from the church of the pallbearers, the casket and the family and friends of the deceased. From the church the procession took up its way once more to the Statehouse. AGAIN AT TIIC CAPITOL.

The Ex-Governor Remain! Viewed by Mnny More People. The body uf ex-Governor Mount lay in slate in the Capitol building from the close of the funeral exercises at-the First Presbyterian Church until 10:20 o'clock last night. During that time it was viewed by several thousand people, most of them belonging to the working class. Many pathetic scenes were witnessed by those who stood near the catafalque and watched the slew, steadily moving line, pass the casket, brcken for a few seconds, as each stopped to view the body of the friend and champion of labor. The guard at the Statehouse last night was in charge of Company C of the Second Regiment Infantry, Indiana National Guard, commanded by Captain Power, from 6:30 until the hour of departure. Detachments of infantrymen relieved each other in the duty of standing guard at the bier throughout the evening, the remaining members of the company being within easy reach. With the soldiers was a platoon of sixteen patrolmen, under command of Sergeants Boylan and Lowe. On account of the fact that a banquet was given at the Denlson House last evening, Mrs. Mount requested that the body be kept In the rotunda of the Statehouse as late as possible, so as to obviate the necessity of carrying it through the corridors and hallways of the hotel fln the nddst of scenes of festivity. The body was taken to the apartments of the Mounts, arriving at 10:21 p. m.. here ' it was received by a guard of honor from Company A, composed of Sergeant Fullen and Privates Sims, Gwinup and Hodge. The military constituting the escort during the day and evening yesterday were relieved after being directed to report at the Denlson Hotel at 7:45 o'clock this morning. The floral tributes were Increased late yesterday evening by the arrival of a iarge piece sent by Warden A. T. Hert, of the Indiana Reformatory at Jeffersonville. Mr. Hert's offering came in a big box, which it was decided to leave unopened until the party arrives in Crawfordsvlllc this morning. Brigadier General McKee and a number of members of his staff remained with the body last night until it was removed from the Statehouse. Services at Butler. Prof. D. C. Brown, of Butler College, conducted memorial exercises In honor of the late James A. Mount at the college yesterday morning. Mr. Brown was intimately associated with Mr. Mount as a member of the State Board. of Charities, and yesterday said that the present reputation of the state Institutions of Indiana was dii2 to his work. He commented upon his loyalty to what he thought was his duty to the people and upon his courage In carrying out what he believed was right in defiance of the opinions of others, who were more Influenced by a desire to be reworded for party service than by the wish to do some good for the State and its people. Fnnernlfl of Nine Governors. Brir. Gen. Will J. McKre and Col. Harry B. Smith recalled an interesting reminiscence as they stood near the catafalque under the dome of the Statehouse yesterday afternoon just after the remains of exGovernor Mount had been brought with military honors from the First Presbyterian Church. Colonel Smith reminded General McKee that as officers of the Indiana National Guard the two had officiated at the funerals of nine Governors of Indiana. These executives were Morton, Williams, Hendricks, Gray, Porter, Hovey, Chase, Matthews and Mount. Ushera at the Church. The ushers at the First Presbyterian Church yesterday were Capt. W. H. Hart, Ltate auditor, Albert Baker, Howard M. Foltz. J. H. Pattison, Irwin Williams, J. Y. Wild. S. A. Johnston. Davies M. Greene, II. K. Benton and James McPherson. Four of the ushers were members of Governor Mount's Bible class. Ticket for Representatives. Members of the House of Representatives who will attend the funeral of exGcvernor Mount at Crawfordsville to-day can secure their tickets from Captain Scott, at the Union Station gate this morning at S:30 o'clock. - TRIBUTE TO i:-GOVEIt.OIl MOUNT. President Strain, of the State University, Speaks of Hint to Students. Srecia! to the IndianapcH Journal. BLOOMINGTON, Ind..' Jan. IS. In his address to the studcnt3 at the Founders' day exercises oi tho State University to-

day, President Swain said: "I do not feel that I ought to allow these exercises this morning, to begin, without saying a word concerning our ex-Governor, who has been so suddenly called to his final reward. Governor Mount was a fine Illustration of the doctrine that a public office is a public trrst. He did his duty as he saw It. No doubt the attempt to perform all his duties has led to his premature death from overwork. "Governor Mount was a man of action. To believe, with him. was to act. He was ready to change his mind when he saw he was wrong. His openness of mind was well shown in his attitude toward this institution. In the early part of his administration, he had honest doubts, but later he came to realize its place and spoke with enthusiasm concerning its work. James A. Mount was an honest, hard-working, efficient Governor of Indiana. The sons and daughters of Indiana University join with the rest of the State In mourning his less. He was worthy to stand before young men as an example of what intelligent industry and high character may attain in this country of ours. Indiana has shown that an ex-President can be among the most useful citizens of the Republic; had Governor Mount been spared to our State, I believe he would have shown that an ex-Governor can be one of the most useful citizens of the commonwealth."

ESTEEM AND SORROW. State Papers rnanlmoaa In Their Tributes to Jnmen A. Mount. High as were the honors heaped upon Gcvernor Mount bj' the State he loved so veil, he more than requited thm all In the good life he lived and the faithful public service he rendered. The people of Indiana take leave of him in fond esteem and loving memory. Kokomo Tribune. Henceforth the name of James A. Mount will be numbered among those of Indiana's Illustrious dead. He will be remembered as one who did well whatever work his hand found to do. whether In high or humble station, and who shrank from no duty or responsibility that fell to his lot. South Bend Tlme3 (Dem.) , Mr. Mount was, first of all. an honest man. He was at heart the farmer he pretended to be. With a somewhat limited equipment he discharged exacting duties for the good of his State, and his State will long remember him as one who left "much to admire little to be forgiven." Lafayette Journal (Dem.) In the death of Governor Mount the State has lost one of its wisest and most useful citizens. He was a man whose endeavor had always been to do his whole duty on all occasions. He did It as a soldier, as a farmer, as a churchman, as a citizen and as an officer. His record is remarkably successful in all. Greensburg Republican. In the death of ex-Gov. James A. Mount Indiana loses a magnificent example of the self-made man. Regret comes to. every heart as If It were a personal friend. He was a true leader of the people a sincere and courageous man, who nad attained to high place in the public estimation, and whose memory will be revered. Fairmount News. Governor Mount proved that It was possible for a man of pronounced religious views to rise to a high position in public affairs. He never worked for the applause of the vicious or the depraved, but always appealed to the best sentiment of the people. In office he was honest and conscientious. He did his duty as he saw lt. Evansvllle Courier. Gone! But In his life example is left an inspiration and a lesson a knowledge that right doing wins such success as prepares for the summons when It comes and leaves the impress 0 respect or love upon the hearts of those with whom in life the man must come in contact. Indiana's loss 13 great and the whole State mourns. Lafayette Courier. The passing of Governor Mount is a shock to all the people of the State. His record as the chief executive of Indiana was one of clean purpose and high integrity. He was entirely the architect of his career. Born in poverty, he won his way to the front by his own effort, and his example is another illustration of the possibilities of the yoüth of America. Huntington Herald. No death in the State in late years has caused more profound sorrow or more general regret. Just as he had laid aside tho duties and cares of the high office he had so faithfully filled to take up the rest he was so much in need of on his farm the summons came, swift and startling, and James A. Mount, Indiana's good Governor for the last four years, passed to his eternal reward. Greensburg Review. In his high office James A. Mount was laborious, painstaking, conscientious and efficient. His standard of true manhood was the highest, and he lived up to that standard in every act of his life. Zeal and loyalty marked the discharge of everv outy. During the darkest days of thl3 matchless Republic he followed the flag In loved so well. In days of peace he has won honor, and worn it with eminent credit. Lafayette Call. Wherever he was placed he performed his work courageously and conscientiously. As Governor he gave the State a good administration, and he retired last Monday with his work approved. Esteemed and respected by all, and by those who knew him intimately well beloved, there is none who will not wish he might have been spared to realize his cherished wish to return to enjoyment of private life at his beautiful farm home. Fort Wayne Sentinel (Dem.) Of the shock of the sudden death cf Governor Mount nothing need be said. It is too obvious and too appalling to need comment. Cut off In what seemed to be the prime of manhood, with every promise of many years of useful life, it emphasizes the transitoriness and the uncertainty of human existence. nia record is a clean one and is now among the precious possessions of the State of Indiana he loved so much and served bo well. Terre Haute Gazette (Dem.) As Governor, Mr. Mount entered office with the gibes of his political adversaries ringing In his ears. At the close of his career he had the satisfaction of listening to their plaudits. He was Governor In fact, and his term will pass into history as one of the most successful that the State has ever had. He took the helm with an honest Intention to give the people an honest administration of the office, and at its close there was and is universal approbation of his career. Evans ville Journal. The State of Indiana mourns to-day because of the death of the man the citizens have scarcely ceased to call their chief executive. The sudden summons which camo to ex-Governor Mount last night was shocking in the extreme. It always seems deplorable when a man is cut down in the vigor of his manhood and at the high tide of his life, but If that man can lay such claim to rugged honesty ana perfect simplicity in life as did James A. Mount, he shall not have lived in vain. Anderson Bulletin (Ind.). In his death the State has lost one of her most distinguished and useful citizens. By his own intelligence, industry, integrity and devotion to duty he rose from poverty to the highest office In the gift of the people of his State. As a citizen he always had convictions and fearlessly asserted them. He never hesitated to do his duty as he saw it. He was a conscientious. Christian man and carried his religion into his daily life. As Governor of the State he had the supreme confidence of the people. Seymour Republican. He was a manly man, kind and generous, and he believed In the common people. He was a friend to the farmer and he never lost his love for that honorable vocation. When the mists of party prejudice have flown away and Governor Mount and his administration are known as they ought to be and will be, he will be ranked as one of the best executive officers the State ever had. His death will be mourned as. sincerely by the people of Indiana as was that of any other man since the lamented Morton. Columbus Republican. James A. Mount was a good Governor. No man has given the details of tho office more careful attention. He was great in little things and capable in great things. While he was Governor the dollar of the taxpayer was secure; he considered himself under bond to guard the taxpayers interests. Office to him was a sacred trust, the affairs of office were weighty matters, lie possessed dignity and a sense of honor that could not be charged. Mr. Mount was an honest, conscientious, sincere man in office. He possessed character of the kind that could not be shaken. Munde Herald. I During his term of office Governor Mount j constantly grew In the regard of the people.

because they saw that he was devoting himself to their interests. They knew that he was a sincere man, who not only had high ideals of the public service, but lived up to his professions. They knew that ho fought for and carried to successful accomplishment many reforms tn public administration. In all the years to come he will be spoken of by the masses In Indiana as the "good Governor" and the sincere advocate of all that makes the best In citizenship. Washington Gazette. In the death of James A. Mount, Indiana loses one of Its best citizens, a man who served the State well, with ability and with a conscientiousness of acts which won for him, not alone the admiration of his personal friends, but also the respect of those of his own party who may have differed with him In policy, as well as those who oposed him in political faith. In the exercise of his official duties, those who knew him personally, or had to do with him In public affairs, at once recognized in lus acts what he believed to be the honor of the great State of Indiana, the welfare of her people and the upbuilding of humanity.

VOTES FOR SHIP BILL SENATORS IIAXXA AND FR YE WIXMXG OVEH THE ATIS. Inducing Opponents of the Subsidy Measure to Support It by Agreeing to Amendments. ORDERS FOR . THE SCORPION INSTRUCTED TO STAY AT LAG U AYR A FOll THE PRESENT. Censorship Established by Venezuela on All Cablegrams Miscellaneous Washington Xeivs. Special to the Indianapolis Journal. WASHINGTON, Jan. k 18. Senators Hanna and Frye were busily engaged to-day in agreeing to amendments to the shipsubsidy bill In return for votes. By this means they have curcd the reluctant support of Senators McMillan, Aldrich, Spooner and Allison. The amendments that have won them over follow: No extra compensation to be allowed vessels of over eighten knots, thus cutlng oft about $50,000 from each of the fast-going mallships, as provided under the original terms of the bill. No compensation to be allowed oil tank vessels. The length of time for which contracts are to be nade is reduced from twenty years to fifteen years. The number of foreign vessels to be admitted to American registration, provided a like tonnage is built in the United States, is limited to four vessels to each firm for each class; that is, four vessels already built and four vessels for which contracts have been made and not completed. The effect of this will be to reduce the amount of foreign tonnage that may be admitted to American register under the terms of the bill from about 350.000 tons to 200.000 tons. A-modification of Clause F of the bill makes it necessary for any ship-owner or builder to actually begin work of construction before a contract will be entered into. These amendments will be offered on the Jloor of the Senate, provided the bill comes V: a vote. It is held that they will prevent the Standard Oil Company, which owns fast ships, oil tanks and foreign-built vessels from absorbing an undue proportion of the subsidy money. The bill is to be made the unfinished business of the Senate, with the understanding that it shall not stand In the way of appropriation bills or anything else the Senate wants to do. This means that the chances are against the passage of the bill at this session. s N WILL STAY AT LAG U AY It A. Gunboat Scorpion Will Not Ascend the River to Gnnnaco.
