The winter Load Line.

American shipping, circles have been
advised by cable from Liverpool that
the British Board of Trade has finally
adopted the new winter load line for
vessels trading at North Atlantic ports.
and that the British Board of Trade and
Lloyds officials had been instructed to
carry it out immed ,ately.
The Daily Press published the
full text Of the report made by the spe-
ctal committee on .Eu esday 1t seems
that the Board Of Trade has adopted
the report in full.
This decision en- ds a controversy
which has been going on for several

commercial interests have been harping
upon the advantage which Newport
News. Norfolk and Baltimore were
given, according 10 their belief, in the
exemption from the same load line re-
striction which was in force at tnose
ports.
The British Board Of Trade, which
regulates such matters. was appealed
to and asked to place the Hampton
Roads ports on the same basis as the
other North Atlantic ports. This appli :
cation was resisted by the Chamber Of
Commerce of Baltimore, the Board Of
Trade OF Norfolk and the shipping pc >
pie Of Newport News, but the New York
and Philadelphia interests at last won
out.
On account of the distance Of about
160 miles to be traverscd by ships from
this port to reach the ocean track of
vessels bound abroad a deeper loai line
was permitted at Newport News Under
this concession vessels could load on an
average about five inches deeper than
at more northerly points. This advant-
age was not however, regarded as re-
sponsible for the growth OF the local
grain trade, although the rival ports

The clothing store OF Mr.. William

corner of Twenty-eighth street, was
Hooded this morning when the water
was turned on again and a large part
OF his stock was badly damaged. Had
1t not been for the prompt work Of Po-
liceman {. ]. Padgett, Mr.. Garner would
have lost much more Of his stock, as
the officer was the first to discover the
condition of affairs and after notifying

saved quantity of clothing from the
water.
Mr. Padgett discovered the drip
ping water from the floor above about
O'Clock this morning and at once noti-
fled MIR. Garner. who Immediately re-
paired to the store. An investigation
showed that 4 lady living on the upper
floor of the building had attempted to
draw water from the spigot in the
Kitchen msd on finding that it had been
shut off faaed to turn back the hand
pice of the spigot. Consequently when
the water. company turned on the water
this morning. after making connections
at the pumping station, the whole of the
second floor was flooded.
Water ran through the floor and the
ceiling of the clothing store like sieve
and in a short while Mr.. Garner was
out Of pocket a considera Bile sum. Many
suits of clothing and gents furnishings
We're water-soaked and ruined for the
regular trade. Mr.. Garner, Officer
PadEctt and the formers clerk worked
mt tho store for sometime this morning,
transferring the articles that had not
been damaged and in this way some of
the goods We're saved.
