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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
