Cost of Long Distance Towing.

1t is only a few years ago that ship
ping men heard with wonder the story
of the first long tow of a thousand miles.
How eagerly it was discussed. What
tame reading it makes now For little
ting to drag u heavy load that distance
now is as easy us the journey of an "L'
train from the Battery to Harlem.
Within the last few months oceangoine
tugs have towed big craft that had come
to grief in the Spanish main all the way
to this port for repairs. The hauling
operation became necessary because OF
the absence of a suitable marine "doc.
tor" or repairing facilities at the place
where the vessels were damaged. Re-
pairs are expensive in the tropics, and
in number of cases good round sum
was saved even after a long tow to this
port.
The champion long distance tow per-
haps is now in progress. Two months
ago an immense steam tug left the Mer-
sey, bound to Rio Janeiro, to bring back
to England Il large iron bark that had
been seriously damaged in storm near
the equator This tug has started back
with her charge, and it is a foregone con-
clusion that she will reach the Clyde
without any mishap.
Owners decline to give any informa-
ton concerning the cost of long dis
tance tow. but one like that from Rio to
England must be enormous. Here is u
trip of at least five months, over a dis
tance of 1000 miles. AT the very least
5000 tons of bunker coal must be used.
There you have 1000 at one slap. Pro-
visions will cost $4,000 more. That
makes $4,000. Put the wages of the
crew at $4,000 more. That makes $l3,-
900. Then figure incidentals at $1,000,
and the landsman may understand what
an expense is attached to a job of that
kind. A total of $4,000 spent before u
single penny is paid for repairs. These
figures are from the tugboat owners
standpoint and do not directly show the
cost of the tow to the charterer. The
owner of the steam tug has to live like
other people. and his profit for the trip
will be all the way from $4,000 to $4,000.
That swells the amount to ST., 900 OF
more.-New York Mail and Express.

To Set % Table.

Breakfast being the plainest meal of
the day, the arrangement of tho table
should always be simple The cloth
should be spotless. Ateach persons seat
place a knife, fork, teaspoon or dessert
spoon, tumbler and napkin, and if fresh
fruit is to be served, q finger bowl if
there be no servant. If you have wait
ress she will place the finger bowls on
as you finish with the fruit. II fresh
fruit be served there must also be placed
at each seat fruit knife and plate. The
knives and spoons should be placed at
the right and the forks and napkins at
the left, the tumblers to be at the point
of heknives. There should be space be-
tween the knife and fork for breakfast
plate.
Have the dish of fruit in the center of
the table. Have a tray cloth at each
end of the table. Arrange little butter
plates at the top of each plate. If indi-
vidual salt and pepper bottles be used
place them at the side of each plate. If
large ones, place them at the corners of
the table. Put four tablespoons on the
table either in two corners or beside the
dishes that they will be used in serving.
Put the carving knife and fork at the
head Of the table and the cups and sau-
GERS, sugar and cream, coffee pot, hot
water bowl, etc., and the mush dishes at
the other end.-Maria Parloa in Ladies'
Home journal.

ticularly on one case taken up, Raum
said Renaud had the papers in the case
on his desk and had no right to have
taken them from the files. Renaud de-
MED having written or inspired the ar
ticles in question, but admitted being q
writer for the Tribune. The article was
q misstatement.
Raum further stated in his complaint
to the secretary that Renaud, after
Commissioner Black went out of Office,
boasted of having written the we'll
known "physical wreck" articles.
A Tribune correspondent denied that
Renaud wrote the articles or furnished
the facts.
Then ensued long colloguy between
Raum and Enloe. Enloe asked if Raum
sent somebody to see Russell Harrison
to get him to use his influence with the
controlling powers of the Tribune to
stop the attack upon his (Raum's) ad-
ministration.
'Raum said be had no such knowledge
or information, and knew nothing Of
anybody having spoken to Whitelaw
Reid to get him TO stop this matter. He
understood one of the principal men OF
the Tribune had conversation with
OeucIdI Dusscy tHaI ScHticludH sccHcu
to be laboring under the impression that
the department was much dissatisfied
with Raum's management, and they in
formed him quite to the contrary. He
supposed this gentleman also saw Sec
retary Noble. He (Raum) knew abso-
lutely nothing about Russell Harrison,
Lemon or others interceding with this
man. He had not understood that the
influence of the administration was
brought to bear on Whitelaw Reid he
had never spoken to the president, Rus.
sell Harrison or Lemon on the subject.

Senator Cullom Draws Ont of the Presi-
Dental Race.

senator CuiIOm DraWS Out OF tno iretI-
Dental Race.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-Senator
Cullom has sent letter to Elk Mayor
Roche of Chicago, regarding the presi-
Dental nomination, saying he desires
that his name shall not be longer used
as candidate; that the people seem to
favor the denomination of President
Harrison. He adds: II am Repub-
lican. believe in the principles and
policies OF the party, and expect
always to do my part, as l may
be able, in upholding it while in power,
and securing for it victory. We have
before us in Illinois and in the nation a
great and stubborn battle. We must
have harmony in our ranks ii we are to
be assured of success, either in the state
or nation. Our state and national con-
ventions should be wise in the selection
OF candidates who will most likely give
the party success in the state and ma
tion, and by success give assurance OF a
continuance of our present wise, strong
and patriotic foreign policy; a well-con-
sidered fiscal policy, the foundation
principle of which is honest money for
honest people, a revenue policy under
which American trade and industries
will be carefully fostered and American
labor jealousy protected; an internal
policy that will make navigation
safe and sure on our great rivers; that
will give commerce between states pro-
lection from extortion and unjust dis
ordinations; that will give the country
pure and competent civil service; that
will compel regard for the rights of
every citizen; that will make the gov
| ernment luiseant in it's parts and in
vincible in their unity"

MERCHANT MARINE.
0he Repeal OF the Mail Subsidy Ac
Recommended.

THE Repeal Of the Mail Subsidy Act
Recommended.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-Enloe has
submitted to the house the report of the
committee on merchant marine, recon-.
mending the repeal of the mail subsidy
act. 1t dissents from the policy of sub
sidies On the ground that it is robbery.
and says if the principle of subsidy is
right, 1T should apply to all, and that
the cotton planter has as much right as
the ship owner.
The minority argues in favor of the
retention of the law, based upon figures
showing the impetus given ship build
ing under the new regime.
Comment is made upon the refusal Of
The majority to hear testimony or in
vestigate the workings of the act. 1t is
maintained that had we pursued in the
past the subsidy policy, we would hold
the supremacy of the high seas in mer-
chant marine, instead of paying-prin-
cipally to England-during the last
thirty years yHan the enormous tribute Of
over So, 900, 100000 for the transporta-
tion of goods.

She Will Re Rich Some Day.

A good story is told Of certain man
in Franklin county. He one day toldhis
wife that he would give her all the sill
yer pieces she found in his wallet which
were coined the year she was born.
AS result, the lady in due course of
time had quite an amount of silver money
on hand-so much, in fact, that she went
to the bank and deposited it in her name
Then speaking to the cashier, the lady
said: my husband tells me you are
going to pay him some money today.
Won't you please pay him in this silver l
have just deposited? l will be so much
obliged to you if you would"
Of course the cashier, being noted for
his courtesy to the ladies, quickly re-
piled that he would be happy to please
her.
AS result, the lady has still more
birthday money.-Bangor Me.) Com

Associated Press Dispatches.
WASHINGTON, March 30.-Blaine has
resumed the discharge of his official du-
ties. At conference between the pres
ident, Mr.. Blaine and General Foster
this morning note prepared by the
secretary, replying to Salisbury's last
note, was accepted as defining the posi-
tion of this government. AS it calls for
no material change in Salisbury's prop
osition, it is expected that an agreement
will be reached in a short time for the
restriction of sealing in Bering sea
while arbitration is pending.
In the matter of arbitration. General
Foster will be agent, and ex-Minister
Phelps leading counsel in behalf of the
United States. Ex-senator Spooner, of
Wisconsin. will probably also be invited
to act as counsel. The two arbitrators
on behalf Of the United States have not
yet been chosen.
