A MERCANTILE NEW ERA.
Significance OF the Transatlantic Mail
Contract.

Contract.
PHILADELPHIA. Oct. 1S.-President G..
a. GriscOm, of the international Navi-
CATION company, said Monday regarding
the signing of the transatlantic mail
contract by the postmaster general that
the contract had not been returned to
the company and the only information
he received was throughthe newspapers,
but il was undoubtedly authentic.
This is an event of national import
ance," said Mr.. Griscom, ''and is the
beginning of u new era in America mer
camille traffic. The new cruisers will
have Il capacity to carry fOur-inch guns.
The coal bunkers will be used to pro-
tect the sides of the boats, and the decks
will be of extraordinary strength to sup
port the guns. Apart from these differ
ences the vessels viii Lot vary from
other passenger crafts.
"The service to Boulogne and Ant
werp viii be undertaken by vessels
which will probably be casscd with the
Red Star fleet. but this is not deter
mined upon. OF course, none of the
ships at present in the Red Star fleet are
equal to the requirements. The City of
Paris and the City of New York viii be
placed under the American flag duIinS

Ter, possibly during this winter
professor j. II. Biles. professor of
naval construction Mt the University of
Glasgow. has been in this city some
time at work ON designs. One day often
destroys the work of the day previous,
and at this time there is nothing def
mite to say regarding the designs. \
number of designers are at work all tho
time, and construction will be com
menced within six months.
1.-The new vessels viii De Differed and
manned by American seamen. We have
several American captains and Junior
officers in our employ, and it would be
hard to find more skillful, Drawer and
intelligent men. OF course, this is gil
gantic experiment. The probability is
that it viii meet with proportionate sue
cess, but in the event of anything I'M
foreseen happening at any time We
should be able TO sell the ships TO sail
under foreign flag. However. appre-
bend that nothing OF this kind is likely
to happen, and our business relations
with the government will continue to
be Of the most CORDIAL nature"

Mr.. john MOORE JR Dear Sir
"Farm' staTes that he has soWed a
forty acre field IN oats aud clover last
spring and failed to get a stand of
clover on about seven acres of it and
that the land is now covered with
crabgras7 and ragweeds and asks if
hc can get n stand of clover by SOW
ing the seeds among the grass and
weeds with favorable fall rains. AS
vCu ask my ouiniOn, / will state that
never sowPd any clover DIS as
indicated in the fall; but have several
times, in the sprir z, sowed the see
on missing spots, using the harrow
and in every instance lost the seed
and labor. MIR Rsui. HARLAN, one of
the best farmers Maury County ever
had, told me he had often tried to
get stand OF clover on missing spots
without first preparing the ground
and always failed and advised me
against the attempt. My advice to
Farmer ia to thoroughly pillow and
harrow the ground and then sow the
seed. II sOwn in the fall, there is
danger of its being winter killed, but
then I've can SOW again In the spring.
II he does not so prepare the ground,

Can Money on Deposit In Bank he Le-
gHIIy Taxed Twice?
SPRINGFIELD, o., Oct. 1S.-A sensa-
ton has been created by the suit of
County Treasurer George w. Collett
against the Springfield Savings bank for
taxes on personal property for five years
past, aggregating $50, 900. The officials
of the bank refuse to pay on the ground
that the depositOrs pay H." tax. as re-
quired by law, on their deposits, which
constituted part of their personal prop
erty. The bank pays tax on its surplus.
Thus, they claim, both taxes are paid
once, and it is unjust to tax any part
twice.
They aver that they have always com
piled with the instructions Of the auditor.
The suit was brought at the instigaTion
of Tax lnquisitor Nathan &. Wick. 1t is
the first of its kind and will be watched
with interest. The fight viii be long
and tedious one. The bank officials as
sert that they will carry the case to the
supreme court i'll case it goes against
them.
