proposes to deal with the Mormon
question in a manner which cannot
admit Of failure. His plan is "to
have Salt Lake City invaded BY a

bills, and in a short time will disgust

Edward Gardner, master mechanic of the

employ of the railroad company, work

him some time ago. Since then the feeling
between the two men has been very un-

4 Change i'm Shin Building.

1t has not yet been generally noticed
that in the stagnation that has settled
upon the industry of ship building there
is change-probably temporary one
in progress. The latest list of the
monthly additions to the registry of
British vessels shows that change. 1t
is eyinced in the fact that the vessels
now being added 10 the registry are of
a very small tonnage compared to those
which were added year ago. In
the month reported on last by the
registrar, G2 iron and steel steamers
were added to the registry of the
United Kingdom, but the net registered
tonnage of these was only %, 693 tons
not 500 tons each on the average, which
is far below that usual at the time we
have referred to. OF wood steamers,
four were added within the month, the
net tonnage being So only, while of
iron sailing vessels, the 8 that were
added were of 5,521 tons net, and the
wooden sailing vessels added were Of
1888 tons net. It is clear from these
figures that while the iron and steel
and wood steamers included many of
very small tonnage river tugs and
similar vessels-the tonnage Of the
sailing vessels was larger. Hence the
deduction is fair, that the vessels which
are now being built are small steamers
for special purposes, and large iron
sailing vessels. It is fact that gives
ground for belief that there viii be
soon revival in the demand for steam
ships, because the loss is going on, and
practically the building Of large steam
ships has for the present ceased. The
vessels which are idle must by and by
be called into requisition, and then we
shall find that there will be orders for
new ones to meet the loss that seems to
be increasing with the increase OF the
fleet of steamers, and with the transfer Of
considerable part OF the tonnage from
sailing vessels to steamers i1aeer.
