the cheapening Of materials and the multlpllca-
ton of scientific and mechanical appliances.
Nevertheless, he is not blind TO the chances of
foreign competition. and seems to dread 1t
chiefly from the American quarter. The
United States,n he remarks, is so trimming
its laws as to create b0unty-built ships. In
ioubtedly our friends across the Atlantic turn
cut very nice ships indeed and should not
like to define their ultimate powers in that re-
spect." His apprehensons OF successful com
petition are doubtless grounded upon the
achievements of American shipbuiiders IN pro-
yiding the Navy with vessels outranking the
European navies in their own classes.
The contracts about to be awarded for the
construction of Inman and Red Star steamships
in American yards will demonstrate at an early
day whether the Belfast shipbuilder's dread of
competition from this side is well grounded.
The sister ships of the City of Paris and the
City of New-York will not exceed them in
size, but the lines will be finer, the machinery
more powerful and the speed presumably
greater. 1t is highly gratifying to American
pride that our own shipbuilders arc now enter
ing the lists against Harland & Wolff and the
great shipyards of the Clyde. That ships
equal. if not superior, in workmanship to tho
English vessels will be produced we arc conf
dent and when the speed records of the cruisers
built for the Navy are borno in mind, it does
not seem TO be too much to expect that tho
fastest liners of the future will be, like the
old-timc clipper ship American built.

in nearly every diocese, and the indications are
that in a few years it will have vigorous
chapter in every important parish OF the
Church. Its practical character is we'll brought
out by the discussions Of the present conven-
ton. which relate not to questions OF theology
and guardianship. but to such matters as the
evangclzation of travelling men, railroad men
and men employed on cattle ships and the
proper religious training of boys.
With such spirit as that displayed by this
brotherhood abroad among the laity OF the
Church. its continued and rapid growth cannot
DO matter OF dispute. And il is pretty GER
tain that the general convention. which is about
70 meet. will, in is deliberations, reflect tho
many impulses in the direction of practical and
effective work which are now making them
selves felt in the Church through this and many
other parochial agencies.

FUTURE OF ATLANTIC LINERS.

Sir Edward IIarland is one Of the master
shipbuilders of the world who have converted
Belfast into a great centre OF the industry
rivallng the most successful establishments on
the Clyde In recent number OF "Tho Mill
ion" his views on several questions connected
with the transatlantic service are expressed with
characteristic lucidity. lie does not believe
that il will ever be possible to adopt electricity
as the motive power of big liners. or for any
marine purposes except that Of propelling
launches His reason is this its tremendous
cost, since it takes one horse power IN coal to
produce three quarters OF horsepower In
electricity. While a storage of electricity can
be obtained from water, although with diff
Guilty. or from wind albeit that is uncertain,
coal is indispensable to its production as a
motive force at sea. and the element OF cost
will prevent its employment for driving the
great passenger ships now on the ocean. De-
pendcnce upon steam is inevitable.
The Belfast shipbuilder considers that the
size of profitable liner is problem the factors
of which are the possibilities of the trade. The
Great Eastern, which was ! 90 feet longer than
the Teutonic and 25 feet broader in beam,
failed because she was too big for her time.
He regards the Teutonc and the Majestic as
the pioneer big ships, as their lines and dimen-
sons had been decided upon before the City OF
Paris and the City of NewYork were laid
down Originally designed mainly for summer
trade these great floating towns have forced
into existence a large winter passenger trade
When the Cunard Line brings out its new
ships of increased tonnage, it will involve an
extension OF the movement for big vessels
While there must be limits where expenditure
and revenue will cease to meet on commercial
terms. it is evident that the extraordinary de-
yclopment OF the Atlantic passenger trade Il
the direct result of the production Of large
ships, and the end has not yet been reached
in an age of surprises. Sir Edward Harand
has nothing to say in regard to Sir William
pearce's prediction that the Atlantic voyage
will be reduced to four days, and declines &c
express an opinion concerning the economies
of the problem Of meeting, even by double
passenger rates, the increased cost OF produc
ton and the increased consumption of fuel.
The White Star builder naturally believes
that England will retain its supremacy in ship
building, and contends that the cost OF con
struction has been reduced fully two-thirds By

night by q coroner's jury for the death of
five of his workmen in a boiler explosion

action was taken In regard to
his superintendent. Edward Gallup.

Charles Schroeder and the fremen, w.
r. Carleyight and Martin Lynn. The
Jury was in session seven days
and took the evidence of forty
witnesses It was shown that the
inspector had condemned the boilers and
had withheld q certificate pending certain
repairs, which were never made. The fuel
used In the establishment was manure. net

most far.reaching character, and will un-
doubtedly result In giving the city inspect

down any boiler at his discretion.
The fact was brought ont that the IN
spector is inadequately compensated for
his services by the city. The Investigation
also called attention to Mr. Springers char
