In the heavens are some fixed stars and some

summer clouds. Brussels soap is fixed fact in

A RoUGH VoltGE. sch. Carrie A. Lane, cart.
f. 5. Dyer, arrived in the outer harbor sunday
afternoon from Baltimore, with 1916 tons Of coal
forthe Maine Central railroad company. The cap
tain and crew were completely exhausted. The
vessel cleared from Baltimore NOV 26, but did not
get clear Of the Capes until the 18th III four DAYS
the vessel made the run to within Sixty miles Of
Monhtgan when succession Of gales were en-
countcred, amt the schooner was within one mile
of Scgun when snow squalI came up and the
vessel put to sea. For thirty-sx hours the vessel
lay to under n balance reefed spanker, the sea
making a complete breach over her. The main
SAL was blown away. Some idea Of tile condition
of a deep laden vessel with coal in gale of wind
may be had when il is stated that the steward OF
the Lane went forward to his galley one evening
and was unable TO get back into the cabin until
the next morning. The decks were awash, the
seas breaking from rail to rail. A large vessel
with coal is as washy as half tide ledge. The
Lanes are coored men and they were com
petely played out, one or more being confined to
sent to the marine hospital. The schooner laid
below all day Monday. The tug Bismarck came
down river, but did not tow the vessel in until
Tuesday morning. The Lane is the largest three
mastcd schooner ever at this port. She drew,
when she arrived, nineteen feet of water. The
Lane recently carried cargo of coal from Ba It'll
more to san Francisco, being the only schooner to
double Cape Horn with a cargo of coal The five

About 200 tons of the Lane cargo will go into the

The fifth anniversary OF the Gridiron club az

worthy occasion-noteworthy by the distin-

The Pending Bill to Adjust the Wages
of Workmen In the Washington Yard.

A couple Of representatives Of local navy
yard employees are actively engaged around the
Capitol in showing Senators and Representa-
tives how to deal justly with them and their
fellows as to the important matter of wages.
The custom in navy yards has been to rate
wages in accordance with the remuneration
awarded for similar service in private shops in
the immediate vicinity Of the respective yards
The wages here are graded and made to par
allel the pay given mechanics in Baltimore
the nearest industrial center. This is regarded
unjust because living is much cheaper in
Baltimore than here. With smaller wages the
Baltimore mechanic in similar line of work
nets fully so cents day more than the navy
yard employe here. The bills introduced in
the Senate and House by Senator Hale and
Representative Lodge provide that the pay of
all per diem employees of the Washington navy
yard shall be rated by and in accordance with
the pay of per diem employees of the same
classes and grades in the United States navy
yard at Brooklyn.
Another measure in which navy yard people
are very much interested is the one to remuner
ate navy yard employees for time lost in conse
quence of injuries received in the regular dis
charge OF their duties. The Secretary of the
Navy has approved both bills and those mos
deeply Interested are very hopeful that justic
will be done.
