HANNA FIGHTING
HARO FOB HIS
BILL
TELLS THE HOUSE REPUBLI
CANS THAT IF THEY KILL HIS
BILL HE WILL MURDER THEIRS
AS WELL.
UNLESS SHIPPING BILL IS PASSED
HOUSE REPUBLICANS ARE IN
DIGNANT AND WILL PREVENT
ADJOURNMENT.
Washington. April 4. —There are
prospects of a live*,- clash between
the senate and the house if Senators
Hanna and Frye endeavor to make
good the threats to hold up the river
and harbor bill which are credited
to them today. In view of the an
nouncement that there is no chance
for the ship subsidy bill to get
through the house at this session,
owing to the pronounced opposition
oi a number ot western republicans,
tm se powerful senators are said to
have sent word that there shall be
no river and harbor hill and no inter
oceanic canal bill unless the house
acts favorably upon the shinping bill.
It was impossible to get from eith
er senator a statement that he has
made any such threat, hut house re
publicans believe it uas been made
and they are loud In their denuncia
tion of It.
Plain Talk in House.
There was general discussion r>f
tin' matter at the house end today,
and some very plain talk. Leading
republican members of the livers and
linrhois commltte* . Mr. Alexander,
of New York, Mr, Burton, of Ohio,
and others, declared mat. there would
he no adjournment of congress un
til the river and harbor bill is pass
ed'. They say thal as there has been
no appropriation for rivers and bar
hots tor three years, the great ma
loi |tv of n --- -11 e-is oj tile house will
join in preventing adjournment until
101 l is passed at ~„is session.
That such threats as are attributed
lo Senators Manna am. Frye nave
10-en made show the despeiate eon
duion of the ship subsidy bill. These
gentlemen believe the house republi
cans should make the subsidy bill a
party matter am! force till republi
cans into line in Us support, bull
Ho re is great apathy among housp
leaders, most of whom believe it
would he fatal to the party’s chance
In the elections to force the bill
Miiuiigh a! this session. A number
of western republicans say they will
not support if under any circum
stances
Crumpac.-eriteG Are Disheartened.
Representative f'rum packer and
those who have been associated with
him in urging nis elections resolu
tions are very Jinich downhearted
oyer the result of a pull of the repub-
Ji' an> of the house which has been
made by Messrs Cturnpacker, Dick of
L io, and iawney, of Minnesota.
Since the Interest aroused by the
republican caucus has abated, these
gentlemen have discovered that a ma
jority of tn repii’dicans are very
com toward 'this and all other propo
sitions caculated to stir up section
al feelings and they now incline to
the bf*ief that the so-eaoed Crum
paeker resolution will not be consid
ered |,y the house at this session,
bourne™ republicans, led by Senator
Frifenard. of North Carolina, have
stionglv opposeu tne Crumpaci.er
movement, believing that its success
would mean the cutting down of the
south’s representation in republican
national conventions. There never
was much strength back of' this
Crumpacker moVbment and much or
"hat there was has died.

BRUNSWICK, GA., SATURDAY MORNING, APRIL 5. 1902.
WILL SOON
HAVE CARS
ALMOST CERTAIN THAT NEW
YORK PARTIES WILL AC
CEPT FRANCHISE.
Will Have Cars Running In Less
Than a Year—What Promoters
Intend to Do.
it is now generally thought am.
believed that Brunswick will soon
have wnat sue has needed for many
years, and what every citizen is anx
ious to see an electric street car
system.
The ordinance granting tne New
York parties a franchise, was placed
on its fiist. reading at the council
meeting Thursday night and will
probably tie adopted at the next reg
ular meeting oi the council. ihe
New York gentlemen win no doub
accept the franchise, as it is a very
reasonable one.
When Messrs. Fash and Treadwell
were in Brunswick a few weeks ago
they were seen by a representative
of The News, and to him the two
gentlemen "outlined their idea of the
system. They both seemed very
anxious to locate here and said il
council would grant an acceptable
franchise, they would begin work as
soon as practicable, and would push
the work as rapidly as possible.
These gentlemen said all they de
sired was the good will and co-opera
tion ot our citizens, but of course,
would like to get some of our people
interested in the enterprise.
H is not their intention to have a
line, running only in the city, but
they intend to have branches to the
new docks, layloi’s mill, the oyster
facto\ es, cypress 'mills, nvnd other
poinls in and around the city where
I here is sufficient travel,
These gentlemen nre also figuring
on running a line as for out London
streets as possible and there connect
with n ferry boat lor St. Simon,
both at the null and pier. If tnis can
he done it will mean a lug thing for
the promoters ol the line as that
would no doubt he a paying brunch
of the line.
At any rate, it now seems to be a
foregone conclusion that Brunswick
will soon have an electiie ear sys
lein. as the ordinance requiring that
four miles of track must he laid and
ears running within one year. The
gentlemen, however, sav they will
nave cars running in less time than
that if everything is arranged satis
faetorily.
HANNA TO PUT UP SIOO,OOO.
Ohio Senator Offers That Amount for
Release of Rathbone.
Washington. April 4.—Senator
Hanna will see that his fiiend, Ma
jor Rathbone, nas all the hail neces
sary for ni.s release pending his ap
peal to Hie higher court. The Ohio
senator does not authorize this state
ment, bill he says what is the same
thing.
"Are you going on Major Rath bon’*
bail bond,” he was asked today.
“You don’t expect me to answer
that question to a newspaper man.
do you?” he replied. “But you may
be sure of this.” ho added. “Major
Rathbone will have no trouble in get
ting bail."
The senator denies that there is
any clash between himself and the
president, but he does not hesitate,
i talking with his friends, to say
some pretty strong things about the
president’s close friend, Gen. Wood.
Senator Hanna believes that General
Wood could secure the conviction by
the Cuban courts of any man he
desired, and he believes that the
general desired Rathbone’s conviction,
though lie does not eharge that open
ly. He declines to discuss the ques
tion of Rath hone’s guilty further than
to say that he intends to read all the
testimony before making up his mind.
The bond required of Rathbone by
the Cuban court is SIOO,OOO.

SENATE MILITARY COMMITTTEE
MAKES ADVERSE REPORT ON
THE NOMINATION OF CAPT.
CROZIER.
HE WAS . r.t PRESIDENT’S OW.
SELECTION. BUT THE SENATE
COMMMITTEE DID NOT WANT
HIM.
Washington, April 4.—The senate
commute on military affairs today
authorized favorable reports on the
nomination of Colonel George L,. Gil
lespie to be rhief of engineers and
Colonel George B. l'avis, to be judge
advocate general, and an unfavorable
report of the nomination of Captain
William Crozier to be chief of tno
bureau of ordnance, all with the
rank 01 brigadier general. Crozier is
charged with being interested in cer
tain ordnance patents.
There was also technical objection
to Captain Crozier's confirmation, the
senators who opposed him contending
tnat the law implieuiy, if not' ex
plicitly, prohibits the appointment to
the position of chief of the ordance
mreau of an officer holding rank be
low that of lieutenant colonel. Ca
ter. in executive session 01 the sen
ate, Senator Hawley made an ad
verse report on Crozier's nomination.
The action of me committee in
reporting adversely upon the nomina
tion of Captain Crozier to be head of
the bureau of ordnance is a direct
slap at Secret; Uoot and President
Roosevelt. Captain Crozier was the
president’s own selection for the
bead of this important branch of the
service, and both he and Secretary
Root have been very anxious to have
the nomination, which was made dur
ing the recess of congress, confirmed.
The republican members of the sen
ate committee of military affairs, who
practically shape all military legisla
tion, are not at all friendly to Secre
tary Root. Athough they base their
action in the Crozier case upon con
struction of the law, it is apparent
that if they had been friendly in
their attitude they would have found
some way to agree with the secre
tary of war that Captain Crozier is
eligible to be the head of this depart
ment. They have taken a contrary
position, however, and have gone to
the extreme of reporting adversely
upon the nomination.
it has not ueveloped what course
the administration leaders in the sen
ile will pursue in regard to this nom
ination in view of the committee’s an
tion. By opposing the adoption of tile
report they may be able to stave off
action until the adjournment of con
gress. In the meantime Captain Cru
ller would continue at the head of
the department and could be given
another recess appointment. He
lumped twenty-seven men in his corps
when he was given this high billet.
He Is generally regarded the best
man in the corps for the position,
but the influence brought by the men
whom he jumped, combined with the
personal dislike of leading members
of the committee for Secretary Hoot,
has brought about the adverse ac
tions.
