ia TOns-Other Interesting Facts
Washington, July 3.-The fiscal year
which ended on Friday was exception
al for the American merchant marine
in several respects. Full reports will
not be received by the bureau of navi-
cation for several weeks. but returns
already received warrant these state
ments. The total output OF American
ship yards has been the largest of any
year for the last quarter of a century
except 1891, when 1884 vessels of 369.-
302 gross tons were built and docu-
mentsd in the United States. During
the past fiscal year the construction of
merchant vessels, officially returned,
has consisted of 1,429 vessels of $780,
SIG gross tons. Besides these, twenty
two vessels of foreign construction,
aggregating S0,1s1 gross tons, have
been admitted to American registry.
Our Record Year Was 1858.
1t is also reported from Manila that
since last August 141 vessels have been
transferred from the hands of the
Spanish, German and British subjects
to Americans, indicating the confidence
of the business men of Manila in Amer
lean government. The tonnage of these
vessels has not yet ben reported. and
the transfer does not carry with it all
the rights of American registry. Had
the senate passed the house bill for the
registry of Hawaiian vessels the total
additions to our merchant fleet dur
ing the year would have reached nearly
100000 tons. Our largest annual pro-
duction was in 1855, when 2,027 vessels
of 1884, tons were built and docu-
mented.
John Bulls Immense business.
During 1898 Great Britain built 1,549
vessels of 1 1890, ,1i4 tons. The difference
in the kind of vessels built is roughly
disclosed by the average Size our con-
struction averaging only about 225
tons while the British averages 900
tons. Nearly all of our new tonnage is
built to navigate in the coasting trade
reserved to American vessels. The
only steamships built directly for the
foreign trade were the Havana" and
Mexico" of the New York and Cuba
Mail, and the four Admiral steam
ships for Cuba and Jamaica, aggregat-
ing 1880 tons, which were built under
the postal subsidy act

superintendent Brush telegraped
late Saturday from Carbondale: "The
following telegram has been received.
We are surrounded by few men who
constantly fire Winchesters. They
shot into our houses. and along the
road where our employees pass All
our men, women and children are so
terrorized that they will not go to
their homes, and have not eaten or
slept since yesterday. The sheriff seems
powerless. We must have the militia
Immediately"
w. w. Duncan telegraphed as fol-
lows: There are 500 or more non-un-
ion and union men at war in Carter
vile. Both sides are determined to
fight it out. A sheriff and posse can do
nothing with the situation until the
factions are disarmed by the state.
Sheriff's presence only increases the
danger. My judgment is that many
lives and the Brush mines will be de-
stroyed without state aid to disarm
both factions. Firing from ambush
with Winchesters still continues. More
men are gathering, and while quiet
now reigns the situation is very
ominous. l advise troops at once"
The sheriff presented another reason
why he wanted troops. In a telegram
to the acting governor early Satur-
day morning, after giving the details
of the assault on the train in which
the negro woman was killed (printed
in these dispatches Saturday,, he said:
1.-The coroner held an inquest and war
rants were issued for six men. I ar
rested three and they were taken
away from me by the mob who cut
the horses loose from my carriage" :"
Those for whom warrants were issued
were James Hicks. Ed Richie, Eli
Brooks, George Dutton. Mike Brown,
negroes. and John Piano, an Italian.

Progress in Steam Vessel BuiIding-The
Big Steel Schooner Smeaton.
In anticipation of legislation at the
coming session, however, construction
has begun or been contracted for on
about 100000 tons OF steel steamships
for screign trade and trade with Ha-
waii and Porto Rico, involving an ex-
penditure of about S15,o0O,00 For
the first time in our history, on June
80, the total tonnage of our steam YES
sells, when tabulated, will exceed the
total of all other kinds of documented
vessels. During the year, however, AGO
sail vessels of 96,45S tons have been
built, compared with 426 of AZ SOP tons
for the previous year, while the steam
vessels built number 478, of 167 ,S51
tons, compared with 448 of no. tons
for the previous year. In certain
trades our large sailing vessels en-
deavor to compete with foreign car
go steamships, and doubtless will con-
tinue to do so-at all events, until the
construction of the Nicaragua canal.
The most notable vessel is the John
Smeaton," a steel schooner of 5,049
gross tons, built atWest Superior, Wis,
probably the largest fore-and-aft
rugged vessel ever built. The largest
seagoing sailing vessel built in Europe
in 1898 was the Ernest Siegfried," Of
Havre, 3,214 tons. For the first time
in our history steel has become the
principal material in our annual con-
Struction of rigged vessels, the steel
tonnage for the year being 133, ,991 tons;
wood, 130,309 tons. Iron has ceased to
be a shipbuilding material, only one
vessel of nine tons having been built
of iron. During 1898 in Great Britain
