The Knox a IIncoIn.

BATH, November S.-The annual report of
the Knox q Lincoln railroad for 1889 will
show further increased prosperity for this
road, due in no small degree to the excellent
management of Superintendent w. l..
White. A gain of between $4,000 and $1S,-
600 has been effected in business, while i'm
provements have been constantly made
eight hundred and fifty tons of steel rails were
laid the past season, so that now the track is
all steel from Bath to Rockland. A large
amount of ballasting has also been done.
Thus the close of the year finds the roadbed
in better condition than ever before. The
extra train which was run during the sum-
mer proved success, both financially and in
accommodation to the public. At the pres
ent time the entire passenger rolling stock
is being fitted up with Sewall heaters.

FOR THE PENsioRLEss.
Original Applications to be Given the
Preference In Consideration.

WASHINGTON, November S.-Gen. Raum,
commissioner of pensions, proposes to facil-
itate by all proper means the adjudication of
original pension applications. He finds that
about half the claims are in the interest of
persons who have never received pensions,
and that the other half is made up of appli
cation for increase or rerating. Gen. Kaum
is of the opinion that other things being
equal, the person who never received a PEN
sion is more entitled to prompt consideration
than the one already on the rolls A larger
force will hereafter be put at work on the
original Cases and they will be acted upon
with more promptnNss than heretofore.

ills Commissioner Bates,

WASHINGTON. November S.-New York
has been given the commissionership of navi-
cation. Hon. w. w. Bates of Buffalo has
been appointed as Commissioner Morton's
successor
He is a practical shlpbuilder. and since he
served his apprenticeship has built many
vessels both for SEA aud lake navigation.
While still young man. he became stu
dent of the higher problems of marine
architecture, and made some original expert
ments in buoyance and resistance. He is a
practical sailor He has written and pub
lished much respecting the merchant marine.
In 1852 he began to agitate the reform of the
tonnage admeasarement rules and the i'm.
provement of the models of vessels, and is
the author of the rules nov in force, al
though what he considered some Of the best
features OF his bill were destroyed in its
passage through Congress. In 1870 he wrote
and published, at his own expense, a large
pamphlet opposing the free ship legisla-
tion then threatened liz Congress; it is be-
lieved that the failure to pass this British
measure was largely due to the pen of Capt.
Bates. In 1875 he took part In council of
lake shipbuilders for improving the rules for
building vessels. He was chairman of the
committee to prepare the work of the coun-
ell for publication, and when published it
was found to contain new system Of marine
inspection, and the only rules for safe load
ing ever scientifically and practically worked
