coALINo A BIG SHIP.
Crude Methods Employed Which Make 10
y Slow and Expensive job.

Crude Methods Employed Which Make IL
y Slow and Expensive job.
All tho ships Of the transatlantic lines
are coaled by practically the Same crude
method. Barges Of about $50 tons Gu
pacity arc brought alongside of tho ship.
booms are rigged, and, by tackle control.
led by donkey engine, steel buckets are
lowered to the barge, filed by four men
with shovels and hoisted to q projecting
platform, whore two men dump the bucket
and shovel the coal into the portfolio. II
Is then taken by other men and slowed
away In the ships bunkers. Five and q
half of these bucket loads equal q ton, and
tally by count of the buckets IL the only
record to show how much coal the steamer
has taken aboard.
In ooaling the steamship st. Paul Of the
American line AZ men are employed inside
the ship. The average amount Of coal
bunkered IL 5000 tons. The time required
TO unload and stow IL about 40 hours, and
tho total average cost Of the work II q. 900.
These figures. varying only with the coal
consumption Of the ship, will apply to the
vessels Of other transa tlantic lines.
Effort to reduce this expense has been
productive OF many ingenious mechanical
devices, and the inquiry 10 often raised
why none of these is In general use. The
answer is given In the statement by rep
resentative Of one Of the ansatlantio
lines, "Ws have had many offers to deliver
coal to our steamers at the rate Of any
where from 30 to 500 tons per hour, but
what Is the use when we cannot take care
of 1t inside any faster than we do nowr'
In modern ship fuel must be stored
wherever room can be found that IL not
required or available for other purposes.
Coal cannot be received on board faster
than 10 can be stored away In the bunkers,
which, in the case of modern linsr, is at
the rate of about ~ tons per man per
hour.
More primitive methods prevail In ports
Of less Importance than those at either end
,of the Atlantic lines. In the West Indies
coaling 10 almost exclusively done by negro
women, who pour In oeaseless stream
over the gangplanks, each carrying about
100 pounds Of coal in q basket poised on
her head.
In Mediterranean ports the work 10 done
by men instead Of women, but for the
most part with the same primitive imple
inents, shovel and baskets. Howard

Washington, Aug. 13.-The attorney
general. In view of the Importance Of the
question raised as to the effect Of the 10
per cent discriminating duty Of the
Dingley tariff act on transportation
through Canada In bond. will give hear
ings to the representatives Of the Ameri-
can interests In conflict over It. The
New England railroad men who are op-
posed to the imposition Of the discrim-
mating duty on this traffic will have q
hearing before him Saturday. It Is ex-
pected that an opinion covering the sub
ject will be sent to Secretary Gage early
in the coming week. The main question
at issue Is whether teas and other goods
shipped from China and Japan by ves-
sci to Vancouver, B. c., and thence by
rail In bond to the United States, are
subject to the 10 per cent discriminating
duty imposed by section 22. It 10 stated
at the treasury department that very

products Of China and Japan are 20
shipped to the New England and other
eastern cities at q less rate than Ia

exporters of these commodities, there
fore, are said to be opposed to any con-
struction of the act which would i'm.
pose the additional 10 per cent duty.
