WATER TRAFFIC.
Freight Carrying Records on the
Great American Lakes.

George Z. Walsh, in Casters Magazine.
The craze the Atlantic ocean to break
flying records to Europe finds its counterpart
on the great American lakes in trying TO
break carrying records. Each new steel
steamer built is known by its wonderful ca
pacity for transporting enormous cargoes
from one port to another. Thus the record
for 1895 shows that each succeeding ship was
built for the purpose of carrying little
more than the largest then in existence.
Early in the year the steel freighter Andrew
Carnegie broke the record by carrying a
cargo of 10000 bushels of corn, equal to {, 44o
she carried cargo Of 6,3l4 tons of ore, and
later 6,49G tons of corn. just breaking the
record established by the Andrew Carnegie
Following this steamer the Superior City
was launched. and she easily broke all
records by carrying a cargo of 1908 tons of
class to-day. The steamer Morse, construct
ed after the Superior City, is twenty-five
feet longer, but she has not yet attempted
10 lower the carrying record.
The same attempt TO break me carrying
records is made by the owners of the wood
en vessels The schooner John A. ROebling
holds the record for these ships. She car
ried on one load 1856 tons of ore and her
sister ship the schooner John Fritz. carried
l,lg0 tons of ore at one time Prior 10 the
launching of these two big vessels the
schooner Australia held the record of 6.316
tons OF wheat.
The immense carrying capacity of these
vessels makes them valuable investments if
no accident happens to them, but the system
Of overlooking makes their powers OF navi-
gduon little uncertain In rough Weather.
Some OF the steamers carry a whole elevator
load of grain, and do the work with such
dispatch that the cost was never before so
low. The Superior City carried a .oad of
1862 tons of ore and discharged IL in twelye
hours. breaking the lake record for rapid
unloading, as well as for carrying the largest
cargo.
These steel freighters are what is known
as the 4o0-foot class. and they are the favor
lite ones on the lakes to-day. They range
from 400 to 475 feet in length. and thew cost
from $2O9OO0 TO 500. coo: but they freoiientiv
carry carsoes valued at twice their own
cost.

How the Cantonese at Bangkok Pun
ish Those Who DisObey Ii.

VANCOUVER, b. c.. April 5-Bangkok.
Siam. reports by steamer say that the muir
derous conclave of the Cantonese Secret So
ciety is again at work, and those who do
not obey the laws of it's leaders are ar
rested, punished by mutilation and loss of
membership, and ever assassinated. The
authorities are powerless in the face of this
formidable confederation, which pursues the
even tenor of its way as if ii were the only
government in Siam. Recently one of the
Cantonese members of the society had his
ear cut off at Bangkok. A week later an
other young member was attacked and bad
ly beaten. The next day a third had his
eye knocked out, but on this occasion two
of his assailants were arrested. The last
and bloodiest exploit of the Cantonese was
accomplished in one of the busiest streets
of Bangkok. A Chinaman who had offended
against the laws of this secret society was
murdered in cold blood. The authorities
suspect that some dangerous and far-reach-
ing plot is being Matched by powerful secret
societies of Bangkok.
1t is reported at Toxin that the Foreign
Office has ordered Rang Wuur and other
Chinese refugees in Toxic TO leave Japan.

money. Therefore kang Wuur and other
Chinese refugees will shortly proceed to

Miss Glider. in the Critic.

MISS Glider, In the Crltlc.
Apropos of Miss Bells denunciation of
our Puritanism, friend of mine sent a play
to a well-known manager, within a few
weeks, which was returned with a letter
praising ii in most complimentary terms
and comparing ii with some of the best
comedies OF the past twenty years. but add
ing, 1T is too sweet and wholesome. and
the public don't seem to care for plays of
that sort" and again: Il am ashamed to be
obliged 10 write in this strain, but | think
that you will agree with that just now
1t would be hazardous, both 10 author and
manager, TO produce plays like this"
Mr.. Daniel Frohman, whom / met only
the other day, remarked on the change in
public ideas OF morality. When Sweet Law
ender" was first produced at the Lyceum
Theater, he wrote TO Mr.. Pinero that GER
tain changes would have TO be made to
suit the American ideas OF propriety. Mr..
Pinero resisted stoutly, but finally yielded
and the girl who was Legitimate in the
original play was made TO be the offspring
Of a secret marriage in the revised edition
A few years later, however. the original
state of affairs restored and the public
was more pleased with the play than ever
And so IT goes from bad TO worse-from
Sweet Lavender" TO the unsavory Mile

noon the men dug hole at the corner of "a

erected a pole stringing some wires upon it.
Mr.. Williams objected. claiming that the To-
cation of the pole prevented the undisturbed
use OF his property. He consulted attorneys
and while they were preparing Injunction
proceedings. the pole was erected and the
men left. Some time late in the night, some
one sawed off the pole at the height of the
Williams building and dropped the upper
part with the cross arms into the alley.
This morning the workmen attempted 10 re-
place the pole, but were driven away by
Mr.. Williams. III. c. Moore. local manager

and looked at them and ate nothing. AS a
final treat. he called for ice cream, and
when il came sent the waiter back for cake
