erably larger. They are all propelled by
paddle wheels and most of them sport
the old time walking beam; being SHARP
at both ends they all move in either di.
rection with equal facility. Cabins are
broken by the space given to the paddles
SO that the passengers in going from one
to the other must pass through narrow,
dark gang way.
Screw ferry beats have been tried and
successfully in England and at Detroit.
but thus far there has been nothing but
paddles at New York.
~
But at last the screw is to be tried on
the New York ferries. The Bergen is the
name of the first craft built on the new
plan. 1t was lately launched at Newburg
and taken down the Hudson to the foot
OF Thirteenth street, where it is now re-
ceiving the machinery. The Bergen will
be moved by two screws, ono at either
end, the one in the advance pulling and
the one astern pushing. The narrow
way between cabins will not exist, as
there will be but one cabin on either side
from stem to stern-if such an expression
can be applied to these boats, which are
reversible.
There are many advantages in the new
plan over the old. The cabins, being so
much larger and more open, may be bet
ter ventilated, and in case of accident
may be more readily emptied. Then the
new boat will burn less coal. Where
the old boats burn ten and q half tons of
coal the Bergen will burn six and a hale
tons. The space used for the eallows
frame, upright cylinder and the walking
beam in the center of the boats now
used will all be saved for teams. Indeed,
the total space saved by the new plan
has been estimated at 800 square feet.
The screws win be of great advantage
In winter in emptying the slips Of ice.
At present, when the ships are packed
with floating ice cakes, it is the custom
to hire tug to create a current with its
screw to carry them out. Of course the
Bergen can use her own screws for this
purpose. This is of more importance
than will at first appear. At times Of
dense fog ferry boats have been pre-

ington in January.
On the 1st Of January next there will
assemble at Washington, d. c., a con
vention Of colored members of the Ro-
man Catholic church. The announce
ment of this fact is a surprise to many
Protestants, who are not aware that
there are sufficient colored Roman Cath
ollcs In the United States TO constitute a
convention. The home missionary work
done by the Catholics during the past
twenty years, however, among the col
ored people has been considerable. Since
the civil war the Roman church has been
quietly extending its influence among
the negroes in the south, and its work
has resulted in large number of con-
verts.
The colored people are not associated
with the Roman church in the minds of
the people of the United States. They
are regarded as Methodists, Baptists or
Presbyterians, especially the first. But
1t Is not so elsewhere. The white inhab-
itants of the Spanish states are
used to seeing their colored people wor-

LONDON. March 27.-The debate on Mr.. Balfour's
DILL introduced yesterday to expedite business In tho
irish land courts by appointing to assist the
judges was resumed in tho House of Commons to-
night.
Lord Randolph Churchill urged tho Government to
substitute for Mr.. Balfour's bill larger measure
bringing tho machinery of land litigation In ireland
under ono body-to be actuated by one policy and
managed by one STAFF which should deal both with the
purchase and valuation of lands and tho subject OF
rents. Tho present machinery was complicated and
expensive and was characterized by insanity and un
reason. (Cries of Hear hear ~ There were three
separate tribunals in Ireland for the administration OF
land laws, and in some respects they were antago-
nistic to each other Thore was tho old Landed Es-
tales Court, tho Land Commission Of 1881, and the
Purchase Commission of 1885. Tho Joint result Of
the labor Of the commissions had boon the reduction
Of rents In Ireland by $4,000 900 yearly while tho
total cost of the commissions had been no less than
So,5oo,OO0.
Tho commissions had unwittngly neutralIzcd each
ohor, for the work the Purchase Commission did
the less the Land Commission had to do. Why not re-
view the whole system without delay II the Govern
ment did not deal quickly with the settlement OF tho
claims Of the tenants the land troubles would increase
T. W. Russell said that Lord Randolph churchllIs
in the land courts was immense and the tenants kept
mportunng the members to bring the question before
the House.
Mr.. Balfour contended that his bill would enable the
land courts to deal more rapidly with tho pending
and would give greater elasticity to the work
OF the courts The proposals were designed to meet
the views Of the Opposition If they did not meet
with approval hc would withdraw them. But no
thought the best course would be to allow the bill to
be read tho first tlmo.
Mr. Gladstone approved the Introduction OF the bin
without pedglng his ultimate approval of the measure
The bill was then read the first time, and the House
