Senator Clay. of Georgia. made T Stl ong point against the ship subsidy bill. now the regular order Cf business in the senate. when he compelled Sen ator Frye. who is in charge of the bill, to admit that if it became q law the annual subsidy Of a twenty-One knot ship would be $304. .OO0. Senator Clay also called attention to the fact that the ten and twelve knot ships which carry the agricultural products of the country will not receive more than one third of the subsidy provided for the fast passenger vessels which carry no agricultural products. Senator Vest offered an amendment to the bill re- pcaling all laws prohibiting the pur- chase of foreign built ships for use in the foreign carrying trade of the Unit ed States or imposing taxes or reStric- tions, upon such. and giving American citizens the right to purchase vessels anywhere and for any purpose and to have them registered as ships of the United States.

 manner Cf a pendant. The chain can belt. but for those who are in search fer novelty thS~ former manner of wearing would certainly be the most attractive.
