Contained Objectibnable Provisions. But’ the bill introduced in the House and Senate contained provisions which did not commend themeelves to the friends of the prin- ciple, and it was opposition to these particular provisions which prevented definite action at the past session. One of the most important objections was the provision admitting foreign- built ships to American registry and to the benefits of the subsidy, which was thought would militate against the American ship- buflder and would go far to defeat one of the objects of the measure, which ie to stimulate shipbuilding in America. It was thought, too, that the provisions of the bill would tend to benefit existing lines rather than to encour- age the establishment of new lines so much needed, so that in reality the benefits to com- Merce would not be mo great as designed. There were u few other objections which, however. could have easily been met by amend- ments, but those mentioned above appear to have been those, which finally prevented action on the bill. I am sure, however, that another bill will be introduced at the next session, and I hope will be of such a character as to commend it- eelf to all, The subject, however, Is & very | complicated one, and it does mot surprise me | that the true basis of such a bill as is needed was not found during the short time that it | has been under discussion.

MRS. MAYBRICK MAY REGAIN VAST LANDS Release From Prison of the American Woman Will Probably Cause Trouble for a Syndicate. LONDON, March 17.—Friends of Mrs. Maybrick are not abating their appeals | | for her liberation which they renewed on | the King's ascension, although so far the | | authorities have made no favorable sign. |1t f= a fact, a certain land syndicate on | the other side of the water stands to lose | |several millions of dollars the moment | Mrs. Maybrick is released. For some time vrior to her arrest the | agent of the syndicate tried to purchase {an enormous area of real estate in which | Mrs.’ Maybrick and her mother possessed reversionary Interest. Having no occa- sion. to sell their rights they refused, but | | when the enormous debt of the defense at | | the trial put the ladles in monetary diffi- | | culties the case was otherwise. By some mysterious colncident the agent appeared | at a critical moment and offered to buy a | small portion of the land for 1000 pounds. The deed was actually signed by Mrs. | Maybrick, without being read, during the time the jury was delfberating on their verdict. Eventually it was found that the waole area of land, estimated to be worth $5,000,000 had been technically included in the deed. Mrs. Maybrick's mother. who is | now practically penniless and infirm, took steps to invoke American law on behalf of justice, and the title of the syndicate has been suspended. Sir Matthew White Ridley was appealed to to allow Mrs, Maybrick to make an affidavit in prison relating to this deed, but even this simple privilege was refused.
