Washington, March 13.-Tfle senate
resumed consideration Of the ship
subsidy bill. Mr. Berry (dem.. Ark .
member Of the commerce committee
which reported the bill. charged that
it would foster trusts and monOpClies
in the shipping industry and that al
ready J. Ptarpont Morgan and his as
sOciates were forming a syndicate
for the control OF shipping on the At
lantic. In this connection he became
involved in a colloquy with Mr..
Hanna erep-, o., who maintained
that the ships acquired by Mr.. Morgan
from foreign countries could not par
ticipate in the subsidies provided by
the pending measure. Mr. Perkins
(rep-- COLI, another member of the
commerce committee, delivered a
speech in support of the bill. During
the debate on the postoff1ce apprOpria>
ton bill Mr.. Jenkins (rep., Wis., took
occasion to explain his position re-
garding Cuba, which is that the is
land is now domestic territory of the
United States. He quoted many de-
casions of the supreme court in sup
port OF his contention that foreign
territory must be territory beyond
the Jurisdiction of the United States,
whereas he maintained that Spain had
relinquished sovereignty over Cuba to
the United States and that such terri
tory could only be relinquished or
alienated by congressional enactment
Cuba, he argued that congress would
waste its time talking reciprocity
with an island under the sovereignty
Of the United States. Mr.. Jenkins
went even farther than this and raised

dressed the senaae in opposition to-
the ship subsidy bill. No member OF
the body has bees accorded O. more
fatteringlY close attention than he
received Despite his evident feeble
ness, he spoke with force and frs and
at times he became brilliantly elO-
quent. He carefully Analysed the
measure and particularly attacked
the present navigation laws, which
be declared were re}tcs of barbarism
and, responsible for the decline of our

subsidies to anybody, particularly to
individuals and corporations en-

For several hours the senate had
the ship subsidy bill under considera-
ton. Mr. Mallory (dem., Fla.) ana
lyzed it carefully and held there
was not good reason for its enact
ment into law. saving he believed
it would not accomplish the results
hoped for by its promoters. His OPP
position was based chiefly on the
ground that it would extend the
favor of the United States treasury
to private individuals and corpora
tons without just returns for the
expenditure. A lively debate oc
cured over an effort on the part OF
Mr.. Berry (den., Ark.) TO ascertain
when the committee on privileges
and elections might be expected to
report the resolution providing for
the election Of senators by direct
vote of the people. Mr.. Hoar (rep.,

Scotch Regalia Ring.

The traditional history Of the Scotch
regalia ring is of the most tragic, not to
say melancholy, character. 1t is be-
lieved that it was the favorite ring Of
Mary Stuart. and that, after her judicial
murder in Fotheringay cactle, it was
transmitted to her son. From James it
descended to Charles l, at whose corona
ton at Scone in 1888 it played distinct
part. Once more did this Inflated ring
figure at an untimely and ill-merited
death; for, with almost his last breath
upon the scaffold at Whitehall, Charles
bequeathed it to Bishop Juxon in trust
for his son. In due course of time the
ring came into the possession of James
II, and was carried away with him on
his flight to the continent. When, how
ever, he was detained by the fishermen
at Sheerness, the ring, which had been
secreted in the Kings Undertaking,
only escaped robbery by the luckiest Of
mistakes on the part of the sailor who
searched him. Thus the ring was passed
on uninjured to James descendants, till,
by the bequest of Cardinal York, it be-
came the property Of the reigning dy-
nasty once more, and was by them 70
placed among the royal jewels of Scot
land, from which it had been separated
for many a long year.-Good Words.

overtaken by an enemy and his narrow
escape. He says:
For years have been troubled with
Kidney Disease, which came on me so
gradually that did not know what it
was until the pains in my back warned
me that it was Kidney Trouble.

one medicine after another, but, with

to give up in despair.
