AMERICAN SHIPPING. Merchant Vessels of the United Stites Tint Will Be Affected by tbe Ship Subsidy BUI. By Telegraph to the Morning Btar. " , Washington, February 13 The Secretary of the Treasury to day made reply to the resolution of the Senate of the 11th instant concerning; the ship ping of the country as affected by the Ship Subsidy bill, by sending in a report from the Commissioner of Navigation. The statement includes a complete list of the merchant vessels of the United States of which it is stated thore are 23,333 in number. Of these 1.330. aggregating a gross ton nage of 8.6 694 loos, are registered for the foreign trade, while the vessels lic ensed 'or coasting trade number 22,003, of 4.338,145 gros tons.- The commis sioner sajs there is no legal obstacle to any of these coastwise vessels of more than thirty tons entering the foreign trade, but that the length of the canal locks would prevent many of the larger vessels of the great lakes from passing to the sea. For this and other reasons be finds it impracti cable to state the number of coasting foreign trade under the shinning hill ue oumger 01 American vessels in the foreign trade eligible to subsidies under the bill is placed at 1,331, of which 964 are sailing vessels. The commissioner says it is not practicable to say whether all these vessels have complied with the re quirements that would entitle them to subsidies. It also is stated by the commissioner that the amendment of the bill relating to tbe additional subsidies to be paid to twenty and twenty-one knot vessels, will have the effect of reducing the subsidies payable on voyages of the St Louis, 8t. Paul and New York, in eluded in the tabulation, by the sum of $221,106. Tne commissioner states that it is impracticable to ascertain the full ex tent to which American capital may be invested in steamships under for eig.n flags to tbe extent of owning; a majority interest. - .

Before leaving Chicago she an nounced that as soon as she had ' "cleaned up things" at home she would come back here, and if things- were sot properly taken care of by the au thorities, she and her friends would lake matters into their own hands. Her meeting with the saloon-keepers. which she announced that she would carry out, did not materialize, and in default of having them for an audi ence. she went once more to the saloon at 290 8tate street, where her, graudson is manager, and delivered a talk there. She urged her bearers to abandon both the use and sale of liq u'or, denouncing in the most unmeas ured terms all those who permitted its sale anywbre in the city. As she left tbe place she went up to a woman who possesseed.a rich black eye and remarked: "My, My. what a pity. Who gave that to you?" 'You better as-k your grandson who gave it to me," was tbe quick retort. "H know as much about the giving of it as I do". (Mrs Nation mbde a stop in a place at 56 State street owned by E. D.

The Electoral Vote for President and Vice President Counted In a Joint Session of tbe Senate and House of Representatives. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. Washington, February 13. The Senate was engaged most of the -day in executive session, and in the count ing of the electoral vote for the Presi dent and Vice President of tbe United States. Late in the afternoon consid eration of the Agricultural Appropria tion bill was resumed, but little progress was made. A night- session was ordered, on motion of Senator Pritchard, beginning at 8 o'clock. The Senate returned from the elec toral vote ceremony in the House chamber at 2 05 P. M. Senator Chandler, New Hampshire, one of the tellers in the electoral count on the part of the Senate reported the state of the vote. Senator Frye, president pro tern., announced formally the state of the vote in order that it might be entered upon the journal of the 8enate The announcement was identical with that made before the joint session in the House. Senator Lodge asked for the adop tion of a resolution providing for the printing of additional copies of the re port of the Taft Philippine commis sion. 8enator Pettigrew charged that the Taft report was a partisan report made by a partisan commission, and he urged that it was designed to conceal the facts and convey a false impression of the situation. The resolution was then agreed to. A bill for the retirement of the Hawaiian coinage and curreccy was passed. Senator Forake explained that the old Hawaiian government had issued $l.ODO,000 of silver coi ns in dollars,half dollars. quarters and dimes and against $272 000 of the 'amount silver certificate's had been issued, the $272 000 of silver being retained in the treasury. The purpose of the bill was to substitute silver coins of the United States for the Hawaiian coins, both being of the same weight and degree of fineness. .. aj The Senate agreed to a conference on the Naval Appropriation bill. Senators Hill, Chandler and Tillman being oxmed as conference. At 2:30, on motion of Senator Haw ley, the Senate resumed considera tion of executive busioess. At 4 15 the doors were opened and considera tion of the Agricultural Appropriation bill was resumed. The amendment relating to the seizure of imported foods, drugs and liquors in case they should be found to be adulterated injuriously, which was discussed at leogth yesterday, was agreed to. When the committee amendments providing for the mapping of the soils of tbe United states was reached aena tor Teller protested that no such project ought to be authorized. It would prove to be not. only a gigantic task, useles as to practical results, but it would involve an expense ulti mately of millions of dollars. Senator Teller, offered an amendment striking out the provision. Toe amendment was not disposed of when the Senate at 5 30 took a recess until 8 o'clock. Senator Money. Mississippi, reported from tbe Foreign Relations Commit tee a bill to prevent the sale of lire- arms, intoxicating liquors and opium in certain islands of the Pacific and asked immediate consideration.' Sena tor. Morgan. Alabama, obj-cted. The Senate - adjourned at 10:25 o'clock 'at night without completing the reading of the District Code bill, tloase of Representatives. The House devoted to day, except ing an hour and a ball consumed in counting the electoral vote and pro mulgating the result of the Presiden tial election, to the Sundry Civil Ap orooriation bill. General debate up on this measure was completed and the bill - was read for amendment Little actual progress, however, was made with the bill. During the debate tbe opposition opened 1 a general as sault upon the extravagance of the oresent Congress. Messrs. Bell of Col orado. Richardson of Tennessee, and Coshran of Missouri, in turn made k neecb.es. Messrs. Cannon of Illinois and Moodv of Massachusetts, defended tbe record of Congress in the matter of BDDrooriations. Fifteen of the 134 Daces of the bill were disposed of. Mr. Bell, Colorado, a member of the Appropriation Committee, produced figures to show that in a single decade the per capita cost of carrying on the governmental machinery had in creased from $1 75 to oyer $10. The speech was interrupted to permit the counting of. electoral votes aud was concluded immediately after that cere monv. Mr. Cochran, Missouri, declared that the total appropriations for the next vear. if reckoned in gold, would ex ceed te aonropriations in 1864, when tbe Federal government naa i,zuu shioB on the sea. maintaining a blcck ade from Galveston to tbe Chesapeake, and 1.000,000 men on land, engaged in the most tremendous military enter Drise of the ace. "Talk about progress and Chris tianity," he continued, "if progress and Christianity mean marching un der many flags of plunderers and tbe the swords of Christian soldiers drip ping with the blood of plundered people, it is time to quit or fling away the masquerade and say, 'progress has turned freebooter, unristianity slum bars and God is dead."' (Democratic aoolauRe.) Mr. Richardson, Tennessee the mi nority leader, said tbe total appropna. tions at this session would reacn uu,- 0o0 000. Four years ago wben fresi dent McKinley'a administration began the annual appropriations were about $470,000,010. He conceded that the appropriations would naturally in crease every year but why, he asked this prodiguous increase oftoyer $300, 10 000. The war that had been over for two years could not be charged with these increases, for the increases were not confined to the army and navy appropriation bills. There was an increase In every one of the appro nriations bills. Mr. Richardson referred to Ithe ap propriation for tbe New York custom bouse as an item that could have been omitted. This caused considera ble nontroversv. At the close of the general debate, the hill was lead for amendments under the five minute rule. Upon points of order made bv Mr. Olmstead. l'ennsyl vania, the appropriation of $115,000 for a tender for tbe inspector of tbe in mm light house district: $115,000 for a tender for tbe engineer of the Ninth district, and $120,000 for a tender for the Tenth district, $20,000 for a tender for the Thirteenth district and $30,000 for a tender for tbe Sixteenth district. were stricken from the bill. At 5.80 p. m. the House adjourned. CONFEDERATE REUNION. Resolutions Adopted by the General Ex ecntlve Committee Retarding lovlta tion to President McKInley. Bv Telegraph to the Morning Btar.

DECLINE TO COMPLY. Three of the Chinese Officials Named for Punishment Refuse to Commit Soicide. By Cable to the Morning Star. Pekin, February, 13. At least three of the Chinese to whom Emperor Kwang 8u sent a choice of methods of suicide, in pursuance of the demand of the Powers for their punishment with death, have declined to comply, and the Emperor baa withdrawn his re quest that they should destroy them selves. .1 - His Mjety now telegraphs Prince Ubingtbai when he agreed to tne terms of the j int note the latter only required that the punishment should fit the crime, and he arguea that if the worst of the guilty deserve death, tbe others should be banished. The foreign en voys, on the contrary, say that those who are least guilty deserve death. and as there is no worse punishment, all must suffer the same penalty, although, if Chia should desire to make distictions regarding the crimes. she can sentence the worst either to quartering or to some other forms of Chinese execution. Unless the court changes its views. no Immediate settlement is possible.

Yesterday the Stab told of the en trance into the store of the Mercer & Evans1 Company, and of the unsuc cessful attempt to break open a small safe in the office, and the robbery of the cash drawer and ' shoe stock which followed. Yesterday morning another robbery, evidently by the same band, was committed at the store of Mr. George Hob net t, the jeweller, on Front street Entrance ' was gained in this instance pretty much the same way as on the night before at the store of Mercer & Evans, ex cept that the burglars climbed upon a shed at the rear of tbe store, and first broke into a window of the! laboratory of Messrs. Baldwin & Johnson, on the second floor of the building, and then bored a hole about a foot and a half square, by which the depredators let themselves down into the office of Mr. Hcmnet, on the first floor, by an im provised ladder made of cord, towels,, etc, secured in the dental office. Twen ty Waterbury watches, one or two others that had just been repaired for customers and a small amount of in expensive jewelry, the lot costing about $30, were stolen. Most of the valuable jewelry was locked in the safe, and no perceptible attempt was made to get at this. The gentlemen composing the firm of Ham & Co., money brokers, who have an office upstairs across the ball from Baldwin & Johnson's office and sleeping apartments in the rear of their own office, heard the noise in the dental laboratory but naturally sup posed that it was either Dr. Johnson or Dr. Baldwin, who often, in busy season, work late at night there' on crown and other work of that char acter. About 4 o'clock yesterday morning, however, one of the gentle men heard tbe door to the dental office slam, and thinking it was one of their customers, who desired to get in their office before going to work, went to his bed room door in time to see two white men going down the steps, one of whom wore a light derby hat and clothes of a light color. He spoke to them but got no satisfaction as to the object o' their visit. Tbe robbery was first discovered by the colored porter, who sweeps out the office of Messrs. Baldwin & Johnson each morning. The police and city Detec - tive Robert Green are at work on the case. It was discovered by Mr. J. G, Springer, who happened to be making a casual examinaton of the back of the store from his office window nearby yesterday afternoon that the same burglar made an unsuccessful attempt to get in the store of the Holmes Grocery Company, adjoining the build' ing which was entered, by picking out the brick in a thick wall in tbe same way as the brick were detached from the window shutters of Mercer & Evans the night previous. One layer of brick and mortar about two feet in size was taken out but it seems that this was given up as a bad job and en trance into Mr. Honnett's store effected. Mr. Gabriel Holmes and Chief of Police Parmele also discovered yester day afternoon that a transom on the roof of the store of the Holmes Grocery Company had been broken open but entrance in this manner was impeded by iron bars just under the glass. The robbery took place while the bal poudre was in progress at the Masonic Temple just across the street and while carriages were in front of the building until an early hour yes terday morning. The store was also lishted brilliantly in the front and to emphasize the daring of the intruders, an oil lamp which was found burning yesterday morning, was lit by the robbers that they might work with greater rapidity on tbe aperture in the floor of the dental office. 8ucee Worth Knowing. 40 years success In the 8ou'h, proves Hughes' Tonic a ereat reuidy 'or muianaau mwni Fevers.
