THE CUSTOM HOUSE.
What Collector Anderson Hay to Say
on Reduction Of Force.

For several days there has been talk of
changes to be made in the Portland Custom
House, and yesterday rumor had it that
deputy collector, the clerk to the collector,
the deputy surveyor and four inspectors
services were to be dispensed with. Collector
Anderson said that something substantially
like this hal been under consideration by the
department some time, but he did not think
the reduction in force would take place be
before the close of the steamer season, if at
all.
This matter of reduction of force is moth
ing new. 1t has been going on steadily since
the war. At one time, besides the Office and
outside force, there were three deputy col
lectors employed. About the close of Mr..
Washburn's term one of these deputies was
dropped. During Mr. Dow's term there
were fewer employees. During General An
derson's term he has lost four clerks and five
inspectors. There used to be ten inspectors
employed during the winter season. Last
year, with his small force of inspectors, the
steamer business was taken care of, but the
employees had all they could jump to. The
reason given by the government for the dis
missals is that the falling off In duties re-
ceived render such a proceeding necessary,
not seeming to take into consideration the
fact that all this steamer business requires
large force of employees to attend to it. al
though there is no money from it in duties.
1t is understood that Assistant Appraiser
Woodman has also been requested to for
ward his resignation, to take effect Novem-

THE CAR HEATING SYSTEM.
The Kinbaii Automatic Car Heating
Company.

A new company has just been organized
in this city; the Kimhall Automatic Car
Heating Company for the purpose of introdu-
cling the Kimball system, the stock being
largely by Portland gentlemen.
A car on the Portland & Rochester ROAD
has been fitted with the system and is run
daily between this city and Rochester, Civ
ing great satisfaction. 1t embraces many
new and valuable points. 1t is entirely au-
tomato and ensures uniformity of temper.
AZURE never before obtained in car heating.
The system combines steam and water heat
ing and the company controls the only patent
ever issued for combined system of steam
and hot water heating. The pipes run
through the cars similar to those of other
systems, but there are a third less pipes
used in the heating. Each side of the car
may be heated Independently of the other
and the temperature is regulated by a
thermostat in each end of the car, one con-
trolling one side and the other the other. As
the temperature rises the steam valve is
closed automatically, rendering an even heat
at all times aud without attention from the
train hands.
Iuo Stodn Is tdhou uirocL lTOHl Tue lOcOm0-
tive, is fed to each car through the train sup
ply pipe. and is so handled as to be furnish
ed entirely dry to each car in the train, no
matter of how many cars the train may con-
sist. This is great feature.in the system,
as the last car in a long train can be heated
as easily and quickly as those nearer the
engine. None of the condensation is wasted.
but is used as part of the heating medium,
aud not discharged until all available heat
has been extracted, resulting In the attain
ment of great economy.
The temperature of the condensation, W hen
finally discharged is fully 1902 less than has
heretofore been the case, showing that this
amount of heat has been saved and entered
into the temperature, or heating, of the car.

The Long shoreman Question.

Special Treasury Agent Litchman is quot
ed as having said that misleading paragraphs
upon the controversy between the Long

appeared in the papers. There is no ques-
tion of cut wages involved. The reason why
the companies import men from Canada IL
simply because they have worked at the bus

the Portland men do. This the Portland
men deny, and here the controversy starts.
In addition to this matter of the steamer
men it is reported that Mr.. Litchman is
looking into the condition of things in the
