os,rance at Baltimore is the first Span
N steamship which has been there for
oars The first was the steamship Mi
3srya now at Norfolk loading grain for
sentimental port.
The steamship Gyler, plying between
eayeston and ports of the West Indies,
md now loading cargo at the company
r7arf at Galveston, is regarded by sea-
men as lucky craft. The vessel, during
ne Spaufsh-American war, had some mar

Of hurricane, which had she encounter
ed might have sent her to Davy Jones'
locker And this Is not all the luck the
craft has played in. When she reached
Mayaquez, loaded with flour and lumber
for that port and entered at the custom
house the officials informed the master
that the duty on those articles had been
removed the previous day. This meant
saving of about $1,000 duty. The master,
owners, shippers and sailors say she is a
hcky craft, and there are none to dispute
them.
According to a st. Petersburg CORE
pondent the ice-breaking steamship Yer
max is shortly to take up a more important
work than ever This is to keep the navi-
gtion open during the coming winter, not
only between ST. Petersburg and Cron-
aait, a distance of twenty miles, but
also as far as Reval and Libau, on the
Baltic.
II the Yermah succeeds in keeping the
Gulf of Finland and the Baltic open to
@vigaion, the shipping trade of st. Pc
trsourg will be greatly affected thereby
Hitherto the shipping trade of the capital
and Cronstadt has been impossible for
about six months every year; during the
winter a certain amount of trade is car
ned on by rail to those Baltic ports which
happen to be open to navigation.
Trial has been commenced in the United
States District Court at Baltimore of the
suit against James Weston, owner of the
British steamship Gladys Royle, and

Death of John Dombroska 1t is said to
be the first admiralty case tried in Mary
land under what is known as Lord Camp
pAs act, which permits suits to be
brought for deaths caused by negligence.
Domoroska was a stevedore and was in
sanity killed in 1898 by falling down a
gateway of the steamship Locust Point
HIS widow and five children brought the
|mit.

nal increase in steamship rates to Alaskan
orts and the Klondike points, commenc-
