Perforated Sails.

Yachtsmen will be interested in the
discovery Of an Italian sea captain,
George Batta Vasalio Of Genoa. that ad-
ditiOnal speed can be secured by making
a number Of small holes in the sails.
The contention is that the force of
wind cannot fully take effect in sail,
since the air in front Of it cannot prop
erly circulate in the inflated part; that
it is stagnant and is in effect cushion.

He had dreamed that there was a
panic ON the New York Stock Exchange
and stocks were falling off frightfully
And he vowed there was war talk be-

ming any journey the holder of the
ticket must take it to the ticket agent
of the road over which he intends to
travel and the agent will tear off the
proper amount of mileage and issue to
the holder a continuous passage ticket

not transferable. Chairman Donald
will issue the tickets, and the full price,

BILLET POOL BASIS.
Manufacturers Have Not Yet Been
Able to Agree.

Able to Agree.
NEW YORK, Dec. 23.-The Evening
Post says: Several Of the most prom
inent steel manufacturers who attend q.
ed the conferences of the billet pool in
this city yesterday, discussed the stu
alton again this morning over the tele-
phone. It was generally admitted that
no further agreement can be entered
into with any feeling of permanence,
unless the interests are thoroughly
united upon a better basis than was
arrived ait last month. At 1 o'clock
the following statement was made by a
representative Of one of the largest
concerns:
Nothing will be done towards uniting
the interests affected until a general
agreement is practically assured upon
basis warranting long contracts and
justifying a feeling Of security Lack
of such feeling in the past has led to
our present difficulties. 1t has been
quite evident to some of the parties in
terested for some time that pool agree
ments were not lived up to, and COM
plants made at Pittsburg had some
foundation in fact. Nobody knows
when we shall meet again, but when
we do 1 think that more Will be &C
complished than was done yesterday.
We want a definite arrangement, broad
enough to take in the smaller concerns
dependent on a general agreement for
protection and yet rigid enough to pre-
vent such practices as led to the Pitts
burg rupture"
Some Of the news agencies sent out
the substance of a Pittsburg dispatch
to Philadelphia newspaper during the
morning, announcing the probable for
nation Of new pool, without the Illi-
nois Steel company, the Bellaire COM
pany, the. SchOenberger company and a
Troy concern. A person in constant
communication with one Of the leaders
in yesterdays conference denied posi-
lively today that any such plan was
contemplated. He declared that an
agreement without the cooperation of
those corporations would have little
effect, as their combined products
might flood the market and supply
under pressure nearly the normal de-
mand

Although the Business as Whole

The fact that the Canadian Pacific
has lodged a complaint with the Joint
Traffic association that the Chicago
st. Paul roads are paying commissions
on business originating in the North
west is looked upon in railroad circles
as one of the oldest features of rail-
reading seen in several years. The
other roads are aghast at the COM
plant, for they say that the Canadian
Pacific is responsible alone for the fact
that commissions are being paid. An
other odd feature Of the case is that
the Joint Traffic association has abso-
lutely no jurisdiction in the matter.
The Canadian Pacific is a member of
that association, however, but on some
unknown basis. The Canadian Pacific
1t is admitted, has not cut rates or even
offered to pay commissions, but Compel
Ing lines charge the 500 with having
done it, and as the 500 is to all in
tents and purposes a part of the Cana
dian Pacific system, they think it
amounts to the same thing. The Chi
cago-St. Paul lines say it was only to
meet the competition of the 500 and the
Canadian Pacific that they commenced
paying commissions to their agents,
and that therefore they consider it
strange that the Canadian Pacific
should complain at this late date.
