suited for lake navigation only In the be-
lief that something more could be done a
contract was entered into by the Saginaw
Steel Steamship Company and +. W.Wheel-
er of West Bay City, Mich, for two steel
steamships suitable for ocean service. The
requirements were that each vessel should
be readily taken apart before entering the
Welland Canal, connecting Lake Erie and
Lake Ontario at Port COlborne, and put to-
gether at Montreal, whence she eould steam
by the Gulf Of ST. Lawrence TO New york
City or any other designated point on the
coast.
The first of the steamers thus built, which
is now on the way TO this port, reached New
York City IN October. 1890. The Keweenaw

297 feet long, Az feet beam and 90 feet
mGlded depth. She is built of steel from
keel to truck has a double bottom and
water ballast; is registered in class Al for
twenty years and strong enough to carry
dead weight cargo to any part OF the world.
She has steel maSts, steam wlndlass four

THEY ARE BLUFfING.
Attitude of Chileans Toward the
United States.

Wallace Burnett, who resided In Valparaiso
ago from trip to the East. He does not appre-
bend war between the United States and Chile.
" In all matters OF negotiation" he said, " the
Chileans are great buffers, and this trait is par
ticularly noticeable in questions Of International
diplomacy. They win talk loud. buster, and
even threaten, but il they are treated with firm
ness it is not long before their bluff shows signs
OF weakening.
&c don't think that any Chilean seriously ex-
peeled that the present trouble between the two
countries would result In war. but 1t sounded
very heroic 10 pretend that strife was tneyttaDle.
AS a II ition they have a weakness for display
and p0mp, aud the idea Of their Amy fighting
with the troops Of another country Is graz flying
to the national vanity. Then some others,
elated with their success In defeating Balmaceda,
apparently consider themselves nvlncible.
"When 1t comes right down 10 point. how
ever, they do not really desire war with any
body, or anything more serious than few pre-
liminary skirmshes. The Chilean forces have
been decimated during the civil strife, and the
country, having barely recovered from pro-
tracted period OF Internal struggles, Is in no con-
dillon 10 commence war with any Iorelgn coun-
try, least Of all the United States.
The new government is perhaps flushed with
the importance of move! authority and Is inclined
to threaten vaguely what Chile may do. Just
now the Chileans say, and they mean 1t, that
they Will never apologize. II they are made 10
understand that their panlomlme threats are
considered merely amusing aud that they must
make proper Ieparation for an incident which
was really condemned as severely In Chile as
out OF II. The CheanS are not likely to do any
more lighting for some time"

Among the passengers was swset-faced

were cleanly but poorly dressed. the baby
particularly needing warmer garments than
its Bingham dress for the sharp air of the
day. 1t wore no hat, little shawl pinned
over its head serving for hat and cloak as
well.
The pair were seated directly opposite the
lady in black, whose gaze was soon riveted
upon them. She watched the baby as il she
could not take her eyes from it. and when
a shifting of passengers left vacant seat
on one side OF the mother she crossed and
took it.
What bright baby" she said. leaning
toward it. How old is she?" with a soft
smile at the pleased mother.
TIE woman told her.
"Ah!" said the first speaker, my baby
was n month older, but she was no larger"
Then she bent down and smiled in the ba-
by's eyes, letting its little hands clasp one
coat and warm cap," she said, speaking low
and rapidly; will you give me your ad-
dress and let me send it to you?"
The woman scarcely caught her meaning
"Quick, please, L leave at the next sta
tioD." urged the other, still playing with the
baby.
Hesitatingly then, and flushing q little,

guish the Keweenaw from steamer built
in the ordinary way.
The Saginaw Company has already or
ders for three more steel steamers of the
Keweenaw type. They will be put on the
coal cOasting trade.
The keweenaw sailed from New York
for San Francisco via San Diego in July
last, and on August 18th she put into Rio
Janeiro with her crank shaft heated. This
was fixed up and the steamer once
more resumed her voyage and it was ex-
pected that size would make the remainder
of the run in good time. Her officers and
crew were doomed to disappointment, how
ever, as in passing through Smiths Straits
the steamer lost her propeller and put into

BUILT IN SECTIONS.
A Novel Steamer Now on Her Way
to This Port.
The Beginning Of Iron-ship Building on the
Great Lakes-Particulars of the Kewee-
nav Construction.

The steel steamer Keweenaw, now on
her way to this port via Cape Horn, has the
honor OF being the pioneer ocean steamer
built on the great lakes. Hitherto the OBJ
stacles in the way of sending long vessel
through the Welland Canal and down the
rapids of the st. Lawrence have been con-
sidered insuperable.
The difficulty has been successfully sur
mounted by dividing the lake built steamers
into two sections. water-tighting each and
sending the halves separately through the
Welland Canal.
1t had long been felt that the magnificent
facilities in the shape of coal, wood, iron
and cheap labor enjoyed by the American
shore of Lake Erie were lost to this country
so long as the building of iron or steel
steamers was confined to small vessels

a second Sebastopol. From that port Rus
sian ships of war will issue with freedom
denied them in the Baltic and Black Sea.
The completion of the new railway is
promised in 1895, but 1900 is more likely
date. 1t is claimed that within a few years
from the completion of this enterprise it can
be made to pay commercially. Siberia is
doubtless a better country than is a large
part of Canada. If the Canadian Pacific
did so much for the development Of agri-
culture, manufacturing and mining III
Western and Northwestern Canada, much
more would a trans-Siberian railway do
fer the fertile, but unpeopled, regions
of Southern Siberia. In the district
of Chelabinsk and Troitak alone there
are %, 600, coo acres OF arabic land, only 9
per cent of which is now under cultivation.
With the introduction of facilities for trans
portaton the lawlessness that has hitherto
blasted Central Asia will end and the con-
ditons will be- established under which in
dustry will get its reward. cities will be
built and commerce will widen its sway.
The annual expenses including interest at
per cent would amount to about ST.
600 600, and it is estimated that at the first
the receipts would have a deficit of not
more than 1000, 900 year; but this esti-
mate is of course subject to a great deal OF
discount. The ENTERPRISE. however, is one
of great Importance, and the construction
of the road is to be at once entered UPON
