On Tuesday, March Is. the largest
single shipment of coal ever moved on
the western rivers was taken out by
the towboac Joseph B. Williams. says
the Pittsburgh Presa The destination
was New Orleans. The tow aggregated
1.2o0.0 900 bushels of coal, ard filled the
forty immense c%oalboats and ten coal
barses that constituted the TOW" from
Louisville to the Crescent City. From
Pittsburgh the tow consisted OF
twenty-siX c%oalboatS which held over
GOO, 900 bushels, weighing $1,000 tons.
The Joseph B. Williams, which Is the
largest and strongest towboat on the
Ohio. belongs to the lutte lire. 1t can
tow more loaded barges and boats thar
any boat on the western rivers. To the
mind, the mere figures 1900, 900 bushels
cannot be conrprelended. This ship
ment OF the Williams Is twice rs large
as any previous tow taker u Of the
harbor. Hitherto 6Q0.0 900 bushels has
been the largest shipment ever moved
from Louisville, so that the Pittsburgh
towboat has Just doubled this amount
in Its record-breaklnS trip.

After the scales OF the Amalgamated
Association OF Iron and Steel Workers
are settled at the annual conferences,
there will undoubtedly be a change
made In the base box system of meas
urlng tin plate. The tin plate workerS'
organization In their annual convention
will consider a proposed change orlsl-
mated by the American tin plate conf
pany, OF Elwood, the largest concern OF
the kind In the world. The new system
contemplates a change from the anti
quated and complex Welsh fractional
system to a much simpler decimal sys-
tenn, designated the American, as a
courtesy to the firm which worked out
the details OF the desirable innovation.
The American system has been en-
dorsed By several subordinate lodges OF
the Amalgamated Association, and will
have the support In the convention OF
President NJ. NJ. Garland. Vice President
William Collier and other influential
members. A resolution to advise the
change in the wage conference has
programme, and, after It Is passed. It
will become a portion OF the Amalgama-
ted Associations wage scale.
fTesiuenl NJ. VI. hdtldllu.ol tlc -Atii1i-
gamated Association, in describing the
benefits to the general trade which will
result from the change said yesterday,
TO a Pittsburgh Press reporter:
The American c%ompany's plan does
away with the awkward system OF de-
scrlbing plates, some gauges by weight,
others by gauge number and others as
I. C. L., I. c., I. y. L., I. Y. y. etc, and
D. c., D. X. d. Y. ". etc. instead,
under the American system, the plates
will be described as tifty-fve pounds
base, sixty pounds base. seventy-five
pounds base, ETC., clear up to $50 pounds
base.
THE American box Is not based Oh
any particular size. but simply even
-, 900 square inches. whereas the Eng
lish base box Is 14ye0, liz sheets equal
to 81, 800, square inches. II you take tho
American base box. $1,000 square inch
es, and deduct . per cent, the result
will give you exactly the surface of the
English base box. and the same. OF
course. would apply to any. given size.
On reference TO comparison OF gauge
and weight YOU will see for all practical
purposes, both base and net weights
and gauges are the same as the English
base box, and any given box.
THE American package is reckoned
as far as is practicable In weight and
number of sheets to the box. on the
decimal system, making 1t much easier
to calculate net prices. net weights and
net quantities.
THE American base box provides for
the first cross, thirty-five pounds above
ITO pounds formerly I. CO. and for
each additional cross twenty pounds in
stead OF twenty-one pounds. as hereto
fore. Any size packed on the American
basis. with any fixed number OF sheets.
related . per cent. will give you exactly
the same result as IL packed on the
English basis, and the same compare
son would apply to prices"

The exciting character Of the news
given on the newspaper bulletin boards
yesterday afternoon was sufficient to
attract large crowds OF eagerly expect
ant people, TO whom the news of n dec
laration OF war late In the afternoon
would have occasioned little or no sur
prise. AS each hour was struck by the
capitol bell there was an apparent en-
pectancy everywhere. and the striking
or the three tens"--the ln%telllgencer's
novel bulletin which will tell Wheeling
that war has begun-was looked for
quite generally until The last bulletin
was received. stating that the President
would not send his message to Congress
before Monday. thus advancing the crit
lea stage at least three days.
All over the city the people were i'm
patient TO know the latest DEVELOPMENTS
During the afternoon and far into The
night tho 1ntelligencer telephone was
Kept ringing almost continually, and The
universal inquiry was:

The Army Rations.

One Of the things which is causing
woe in the ranks of the volunteer army
is the way in which the food is cooked
The rations are issued raw, and as
there are few professional cooks in the
ranks, and few volunteers who have
ever done cooking under any circum-
stances, many of the boys are having
a more exalted opinion of the value OF
womans work than they ever enter
tanned in their lives before. Sometimes
the rat5ons issued could be made paIat-
able by a little skill; sometimes they
have been beyond the reach of the most
skillful Of cooks. But some of the regi-
ments who are fortunate enough to
have in their ranks cook of some kind
or other, give very encouraging reports
of their experience.
The kind of cooking experience gained
over chaing- dish, in bachelor apart
ments, is not of much use in the Army,
though it is better than none at all.
What is needed is the knowledge of the
fundamental principles of preparing
food for human consumption, and the
ingenuity TO apply those principles un-
der unusual circumstances. 1t might
be a good plan for any enthusiastic
youths who contemplate volunteering
for service in the Philippines or else
where to take lessons in cooking from
their mothers. or their married sisters,
or the hired girl. and then practice
those lessons out in the backyard over
a fire of chips and brush. 1t would
cost them something to prepare a meal
fit to eat, but it would not cost them
anything but money and time, and they
may live TO regard that as invested to
great advantage.
