when made the subject of a devise is ambiguous and may mean merely tho usa of sufficient room or it may include a support We have therefore to put ourselves as far as possible in the testator's place

box was perforated with small holes and was raised by small blocks about an inch from the step Attached to the box was a string about four feet in length that had been partly consumed The wood work of the storm doors had taken fire but the fire had gone out after scorching the surface Sergeant-at-Arms Adams took the box in charge and sent it up to the police who with several inspectors took the matter under investigation and came to the conclusion that the box was placed there in a spirit of malicious mischief If the storm doors had been burned the flames had yet to destroy the mastdve oak doors before they could have gained entrance to the building Though there seems little or no ground for such a suspicion several attaches of the State House have a suspicion that the fire was set to

Xk 1 ni i 5 O'CLOCK THE NEW SHIPPING BILL Paige the Stunts and Four Floe Vessel! Will Be at the Command of the 8 Navy Washington May After the routine business Mr Frye from the committee on commerce reported back to the Senate the House bill to encourage American shipbuilding He said that the report was unanimous and that he had been instructed to move its present consideration He made that motion and it was agreed to The bill having been read in full MrFrye stated that although it was general in its provisions two ships only were to be admitted to American registry They were to he excluded from the coastwise trade and might be used by the government (by charter or purchase) in time of war That he said was the full extent of the bill The two ships to be admitted were the City of New York and the City of Paris the two largest ships to-day in the world since the Great Eastern was broken up: the two staunchest ships in the world and he might say the two fastestexcept that the Majestic had crossed the ocean in 18 minutes less time After Mr Frye had desstibed at length the two vessels he said that there were intimations in the newspapers that the British lion was growling somewhat at the prospect of losing those two ships But it had no occasion to growl because when these ships were built and a proposition was made that they should be subventioned by the British government at the rate of 8105000 a year the Biitish government had said to the owners that in case of trouble the United States government was liable to ask for those ships and to admit them to American registry and that there ought to be 6ome penalty in the erent that the owners yielded to that demand The owners asked what penalty the British government desired to exact and the reply was that the 8105000 a year should be returned each year so that there should always be one year's pay behind and that 105000 should ba the penalty exacted if those ships ever went uuder American registry So that Mr Frye said the British government had nothing to say it the bill became a law The penalty would be paid and that was tho end of it It the bill became a law two ships would be built in the United Slates not of 10000 tons but of 12000 tons and with a speed not 20 knots but 23 knots After some discussion an amendment of" fered by Mr Mills to strike out of the oil certain words that might allow the two ships to avail themselves of the postal sub sidy was rejected without division and the bill just as it came from the House giving American registry lo the City of New York and tho City of Paris was yeas 40 nays 1 0 Mr Chandler to-day offered In the Senate a resolution
