The Omcial. Happy.

4NIW 1OILfA, req. T.. IoSo.-IIe OFFICIALS
OF the American Line Steamship Company
We're in a happy frame of mind this
morning over the news from Long Branch
of the safe floating oftheir pet steamer,
the ST. Paul. The news spread very rap
idly. and numerous kilograms of con-
graduation began to come in. Everybody
connected with the company was in a high
state of exhuberance. Manager Girls
CONS face wore a glorious smile. while
Superintendent Wright fairly danced about
with joy. On receipt of the good news
at the company's pier flags were at once
sent up on the poles and preparations
made for the reception of the steamer.
She is expected to reach her dock at two
o'clock this afternoon, and will be put up
in the new pier. which adjoins the COM
pany's regular piers at the foot of Fulton
street.
The American lin officials are not
apprehensive about the st. Pauls con-
dition. Manager Griscom says that if
the boat had suffered any serious in
jury it would AVE manifested itself i'm
mediately. The steamer has been ex-
mine every day be experts, and they
nave reported her all right.
AS soon as the steamer is safely in her
berth, the company will have a thorough
examination of her made. TIL United
States Steamship Inspectors will also ex-
anime her officially and decide whether
she is seaworthy or not. If she is found
to be injured, she will at once be sent
to dry dock at Newport News. However,
the company do not anticipate having to
do this. and express NE belief that the
steamer will be ready for her next reg
Mar trip on -E,ahr11arv 10
Regarding the cost of floating the ST
Paul which, it is believed. will be a very
large sum, Manager Griscom said:-
at is impossible to say at present what
the expense of floating the st. Paul
amounts to. 1t is a salvage case, but I
think it will in some way be compro-
missed. Stories about paying the wreck
ing companies 100000 to float the ship
are unfounded. We have absolutely made
no stipulations. We nave no idea what
the amount of the bill will be that the
companies will present. The matter may
be settled in a few months, and perhaps
may drag along for a year. However,
we are very glad to get our ship in deep
water again and certainly will pay any
reasonable amount of money to those
who are responsible for the floating of
