The Nub of the Controversy.

The judge then goes to the nub of the
matter, and says that what congress did do
was to give the fair g, 500 900 on the condi-
tion that the fair be closed on Sunday
congress gave certain sum of money pro-
vided the fair directory would do a certain
thing But on March 3, 1898, congress took
one-fifth of the money previously given
and applied it to another use than that
which was the purpose of the first appro-
priation. This, the court says, was viola
ton of the contract. 1t was true that the
directory had used part of the money, but
there was no proof that any had been used
subsequent to March < 1898, and that act
of congress relieved the directory from its
obligation provided it returned the money
used.

spoken than another minister got the floor
and announced the fact that all day sun

deavor society building. was a workshop
getting ready for business. The Endeav-

The Fate of the Naronic.

There is no information in regard to
the nature of the disaster. The Naronic
may have collided with a derelict, or
there may have been a fire or an explo-
sion on board, such as to compel her
crew to abandon her and take to their
boats only to perish in the severe storms
of Feb. 90, "a, or Feb. 81, %.
If the Naronic took the northern trans
atlantic route, which should not be fol-
lowed after Jan. IA, she NAV have col
lided with an iceberg or tie.l ice and
have been sunk, as was the iron bark
Adamantine on Feb. 81, in latitude At
degrees 81 minutes north and longitude
Al degrees 80 minutes west. From this
position the Naronic's boats may have
been drifted by the prevailing winds and
currents to the place where seen by the
Coventry.
There has been less ice and fog this
season han usual, and it is strange that
such a disaster could occur without leav-
ing some more definite trace of its ma
ture.-Hydrographic Office Bulletin.

The Twin Screw Era.

The fact that the Campania is the first
vessel built by the Cunard company for
the Atlantic service in which twin screws
and duplicate machinery have been
adopted in itself inspires, in view espe-
cially Of the mishap to the Umbria's
shafting, a considerable degree of pro-
f~essional interest, although even now
one may correctly enough speak of the
present as the twin screw era in the his
tory Of Atlantic navigation, when such
vessels as the Paris City of, New York
City of, Majestic, Teutonic, Augusta
Victoria, Fuerst Bismarck, ETC., are do
ing constant service. The twin screw
period was inaugurated in 1859 with
the four first named vessels, and at the
present time there are built and build
ing as many as 35 twin screw steamships
of over 5000 tons, the Lucania making
the sixteenth vessel to be produced Of
over 5000 tons.-Glasgow Citizen.
