THE LEXINGTON DISPATCH. Wednesday, February 21, 1906. Ship Subsidy Sill Passed. Washington, Feb. 14?A.t a few minutes after 6 o'clock today the senate cast its fioal ballot on the snip subsidy bill, which was passed by a Tote of 38 to 27. All the votes for the bill were by Republican senators, and five Republican senators voted with the JLJemocracs ia opputuuuu. They were: Messrs: Burkett, Dolli er, L*Folletie, SpooDer acid Warner. The vote oq the bill was preceded by ^gtioD upoo a number of amendments and this by an entire day of debate. Many important amendments were accepted, but in only one case was a modification agreed to that was not in accordance with the wishes of the managers of the bill. The exception was on an amendment offered by Mr. Spooner eliminating the provisions giviDg half pay to members of the naval reserve who have served less than six months. As passed the bill establishes 13 new contract mail lines and increases the subvention to the oceanic lines running from the Pacific coast to Australasia. Of the 13 new lines three leave Atlantic coast ports, one fanning to Brazil, one to Uruguay and Argentina and on8 to South Afrios; six from ports on the Gulf of 4 Mexico, embracing one to Brazil, one to Cnba, one to Mexico and three to Central America and the Isthmus of Panama; four from Pacific coast ports, embracing two tc Japan, China and'the Philippines direct, one to | Japan, China and the Philippines via Hawaii and one to Mexico, Central America and the Isthmus of Panama. The bill also grants a subvention at the rate of $5 per gross ton per year to cargo vessels engaged in the foreign trade of the United States and at the rate of $6 50 per ton to vessels engaged in the Philippine trade, the Philippine coastwise law being post poned until 1909. Another feature of the bill is tbat creating a- naval reserve force of $10,000 officers and men, who are to receive retainers after the British practice. Vessels receiving subsidies are required to carry a certain proportion of naval reserve men among their crews. The aggregate compensation for mail lines is about $3,000,000 annually. No steam vessel of less than 1,000 \ tons is to receive aid under the bill. When the shipping bill was disposed of the statehood bill was mads the unfinieed business. Mr. Frye made a general speech v in support of the bill, saying that the $200,000,000 paid annually to Inrci r?r? oVl ina oVi/miM Ko :ioc<l in veloping an American merchant marine. Mr. Clay contended that the effect of the bill would be to make the i 70,000 persons who are employed by the ship owners of the United States v members of the naval reserve and place them on the nation's pay rolls. For this outlay, he said, there would be no service to the United States. I He thought the proposition to give a bounty to sailors engaged only in the coastwise trade especially repre- | hensible. Mr. Clay predicted that the subsidy feature of the bill would prove interminable and declared that the shipping interests bad no more right than any other industry to come to congress and ask assistance because of failure. - Replying to Mr. Clay, Mr. Hale attributed the destruction of the shipping industry to the Civii war. He said that the old fashioned doctrine that there should be no governmental aid to any industry had long since disappeared and he instanced many cases in which such help had been given. All of these, he contended, were in effect subsidies. He appealed to the Southern senators for help in passing the bill, saying that the South should not stand solidly in opposition to a measure of such vast importance to the entire country. Mr. Bacon also spoke briefly. Me offered amendments to strike out the provision for naval reserve, which was defeated, as was also an amend ment by Mr. McLaurin, providing that no part of the subsidies provided for should be paid to senators, members of the house and other federal officials. After passing the bill the senate adjourned until tomorrow. | ~n> 111 ii 'ii ^ni i r hi in? n i ii i >j | Feed your hair; nourish it; k i give it something to live on. | Then it will stop falling, and | will grow long and heavy, a !

Omahu,, Neb., Feb. 16 ?Pat Crowe, charged with the robbery of Edward A.. Cudahy, the Omaha packer, of $25,000 in connection with the kidnapping of Mr. Cudahy's son five year9 ago, was acquitted this afternoon. The jury was out 15 hours. The kidnapping of Eddie Cudahy, December 19, 1900, and his release upon payment by his father of $25000 ransom, created a great sensation and the search for the kidnappers waB stimulated at the time to the offer of a reward of $50,000 by Mr. Qudahy. Last October Crowe was arrested in Butte, Mont. He was put on trial February 7th. There was no evidence positively to identify Crowe as one of the kidnappers. ?, / State of Ohio.

George, j empaneled a jury, who went upon the premises. An injunction from the Supreme Court stopped the Clerk from proceeding in the matter, on the day appointed. From that part of the order requiring the parties to give bond, there was an appeal to the Supreme Court and by the recent decision this bond must be filed. Itching Piles.

A Kingdom Two Thousand Years Behind the Times?Slavery and IJriffaiidasre Flourishing Institutions. The Hatred of Foreigners. Morocco, which has heen the cause of a delicate diplomatic situation between France and Germany, is a queer country, ruled by a monarch of good intentions and strange whims. Europeans and Americans have long endeavored to cultivate trade relations with this part of Africa, but the conditions have been such as to discourage commerce. The Anglo-French agreement in respect to Morocco, which occasioned the strained relations between France and Germany, was intended to give the former country an opportunity to hold tw^vhip over the sultan and bring about reforms in the interest of commerce. The Moors are not only behind the times 2,000 or 3,000 years, but pride themselves in being so. It is said that at the University of Fez they still teach the geography of Ptolemy, which, although written some eighteen centuries ago, holds that the earth is a globe, but that it has no moticn and that the heavens revolve about it. Slavery and brigandage are eminently \ \ ^ FOUNTAIN AT AN ALGIERS ilOSQUE. rftcnDc.ffl hlfj IncH+ntifYJiQ A nrpttv Moorish girl can be bought in the slave market for various sums up to $500, and, as for the brigand, he is generally permitted to pursue his time honored occupation without much molestation unless he goes so far as to capture an Englishman or American. In that case, as when Ion Perdicaris was taken captive last year by the bandit chief Raisuli, a foreign government steps in and the sultan has to wake up and do something. The present ruler of Morocco, his shereefian majesty Mulai Abdul Aziz, Is a well disposed young man who would like to introduce some of the improved ways of doing things that Europeans and Americans visiting the country tell him about. But a conservative party is dominant at his court, and its motto is, "To walk is better than to run, but sitting is best of all." The courtiers of Abdul Aziz fear a "Christian peril" and have fought back the invading traders and harbingers of "modern improvements." The Christian foreigners are called "the cursed Rumi." One thing that has aroused the native hostility to foreigners is the effect of their influence toward suppression of the slave trade. In deference to European opinion overt dealing in slaves has ceased in the coast towns. Here they are bought and sold under the rose, and this has sent A STBEET MUSICIAN IN FEZ. prices of slaves up so high as to bring curses down upon the heads of foreign unbelievers. In tlie interior towns the slave market flourishes in its pristine vigor. On the evenings when slaves are to be sold the wealthy Moors congregate toward the hour of sunsetting. and the auctioneers assemble for prayer to Allah before they exhibit their human chattels to intending purehas! ers. There are always plenty of children to be sold, and men and women in middle life and even the aged are thus put up at auction.

Morocco is the home of ignorance, faj naticism and cruelty and yet has great : natural resources and beautiful scenj ery. The rule of Mulai Abdul Aziz is theoretically absolute, but in consequence of the semi-independence of the wild tribes, the power of the bandit j chiefs and the plots and wars of pre i tenders to the 1 drone no nas a nam J time executing liis authority. The presI ent sultan, who is known to his sub! jects as Emir-al Mumen. or "prince of i the true believers." is the fifteenth in ! I the line of the dynasty of the Alides, founded by Mulai Ahmed, and is the thirty-sixth lineal descendant of All, j son-in-law of Mohammed.
