Boat Invented.
The commissioner of navigation, in view
of the great Inconvenience which often
arises from the fact that Initials are in
eluded in the names of vessels, has lie
cided that in the future the name of
vessel shall be expressed in one word only.
1t is the practice, where the name Of a
vessel. for instance. is Emma Giles" TO
refer to her simply as the Giles" and
government officials frequently experience
difficulty in answering inquiries in ascer-
tanning the identity of the particular YES
sci referred 70, when only the last part of
the name is used.
This question came up recently when
Collector Stone of Baltimore, forwarded
an application for the assignment of a
name Of a vessel as II. II. Conway"
The commissioner promptly informed MIN
of the new system and suggested the drop
ping of the initial letters, which was sub
sequently done and the simpe name Con
way was assigned, The collector was
requested 10 advise owners of vessels IN
the future applying for official numbers
or for changes IN the name TO conform 10
the new rule.

The Merchants and Miners Transporta-
lion Company has put another steamer
on the route from Baltimore TO Savannah.
BY this addition the company will nave
a steamer every other day on the SaVan-
nah route instead of two a week, as at
present. This change is made to meet
The increasing traffic between Baltimore
and Savannah and facilitate the hand
ling of the business. As the company
has a number of ships the addition VIII
not interfere with the service of a steamer
every other day between Baltimore and
Boston and Baltimore and Providence.
Two new steamers are building for the
company, and it is expected that the first
of these viii be ready for service about
April l, 1899. The steamships to be en-
ployed in the Savannah service will be the
Allegheny, Itasca, Berkshire and VIM.
Lawrence The schedule from Savannah
viii be Mondays, Wednesdays and Satur-
days The sailings from Baltimore Will
be on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fri
days The Lawrence will not carry pas
sengers but all the other ships have I'M
surpassed passenger accommodations.
The new schedule viii be in effect on and
after Wednesday of this week. The bust
ness of the Baltimore line has been grow
ing rapidly and the ships have been taxed
to their utmost capacity. The additional
ship will accommodate the increased bust
ness and afford more frequent sailings
and consequently a quicker dispatch.
