PITTsBURG, Pa, Aug. 13.-The Car

ways by the agreement of the Anal

favor and one against it. Sccre-

almost identical with the scale proposed
by the Amalgamatcd association.
There are one or two slight differences
as to the division of the wages, but the
cost to us is exactly the same as the

that there is now less than half dozen

Ocean Salvage.

Prominent as England is in maritime
affairs, it is odd that in one of the most
useful and necessary branches it should
lag lar behind other powers. Consider
ing the vast amount of capital invested
in shipping, the number Of vessels
owned in our country, and the recog-
nized fact that the English mercantile
marine are the carriers of the world,
it is ridiculous that when any impor-
tant salvage operation has to be- under
taken, Englishmen appear to be unable
to meet the emergency.
IIovds and the various London lnsur.
ance companies annually pay thousand
O. pounds for assistance rendered to
stranded vessels in which they are In
terested. and it might have been sup
posed that sufficient occupation could
have been found for at least one English
salvage steamer we'll built up to modern
requirements. Foreign salvors are now
working not only in their own but IN
English waters. 1t was not English en-
terprise that raised the Sultan. The
Elder was hoated by Swedish and Ger
man salvors, and some of the same YES
sells which SO successfully took this ship
off the dangerous rocks at the back OF
the Isle of Wight are now engaged to
render a similar service to the Howe.
