TO RIVAL THE GREAT EASTERN
The White Star Line Thinking OF
Building u Monster Greyhound.

NEW YORK. May l6.-There was a
rumor current among shipping men
hereabouts six months ago that the
White Star line, Ia retain its prestige on
the sea, would construct steamship
100 feet long, or about twenty feet
longer than the Great Eastern. with en-.
gines OF 1900 horse power. The rumor
said the new vessel would be called the
Gigantic and that she would make
twenty seven knots an hour. or cover
the space between Sandy Hook and
Queenstown in about four days and
eight hours. The rumor that the White
Star line would build was confirmed by
an article In the Transport, al English
nautical paper, which said positively
that Harland 4 Wolff would build the
Gigantic. The local Office Of tho White
Star line Processes To know nothing
about the great ship. A representative
at Mr.. lsmay said. however. that he was
sure the White Star line would have 10
builu a vessel, and consequently bigger.
than the CampaniH. There is no doubt
among well-informed shipping men that
the White Star line will build steam
ship that will be unapproached in size
and speed at least for several years.
Tie speed 81 a ship $50 feet long might
very well be twenty seven knots an
hour. To traverse a mile she simply
would have Ia steam about six and one
half times her own length.

Ar last the secret is out as TO why
Commissioner Raum was asked for his
resignation weeks before his successor
Was selected. As long as he remained
at the head OF the bureau applications
for pension were granted just as rapidly
as they had been since the new law
went into effect, nearly three years ago.
One OF the first things agreed upon by
the new democrat cabinet was that the
number Of original pensions granted
should be largely cut down. and they
have been from the day that General
Raum left the bureau. the decrease being
about 20 per cent.
