FIRES IN COAL BUNkERS.

port of the special board composed of Lieut.

CATION of the cause and means of prevent
ing spontaneous fires in coal bunkers of the

was unable to make any practical expert
ments and was obliged to rely largely upon
a study of the existing reports on the sub
ject. The most encouraging fact developed
was that these fires are not nearly SO fire.
quent as is generally supposed The board
asks for an allotment Of $1,000 to defray
the expenses of experiments with struc-
lures built like a ships coal bunkers
Meanwhile it is recommended that coal be
not stored while wet, If possible to avoid
doing so; that care should be exercised to
avoid crushing it; that there should be no
large accumulation of small coal on ship
board; that oil and waste be rigidly eX-
cIuded from the bunkers: that coal should
have been at least a month above the
ground before being taken aboard; that
under no conditions should steam or ex-
haust pipes be allowed near bunker, and
the latter should not be within twenty feet
of boiler. 1t is clearly established that
good coal Is more economical as well as
less subject to spontaneous combustion
than what appears TO be cheaper coal.

TEN PER Gent LENDERS.

Commission rs Refnse to Aid Them I'm
Collecting Excessive Interest.
While the District Commissioners will
permit no employee of the District to evade
the payment of his just debts they will
give no assistance whatever to those per-
sons who loan money at unlawful rates of

centers." as they are commonly known,

the case. Mr.. Wight will recommend to
the board Of Commissioners that they re-
fuse to compel the of6cer pay the amount
has obtained a Judgment. There is, of
course. no doubt that his recommends
ton will be adopted by the board.
1dr Wight takes the ground that the

If, indeed. he is legally liable. Mr. Wight
also wishes it understood that he Will

The total number Of Irish females to arrive
was 6,911 and males '8,451. No other coun-

One of the reasons assigned for light i'm
migration during the past few years was
the business depression through which the
country passed, but il Is now apparent to
treasury officials that some other cause
operated on the volume of immigration
The Secretary of the Treasury, in his an

couragement given Immigrants by such
countries as the Argentine Republic. which
