quired in 1900 is undoubted. Tht
charters for 1901 for the carrying
trade of the far north already assure
this. The increased demand fo1
vessels for the Hawaiian and Philip
pine trade has greatly depleted the
coast fleet, until there is an actual in.
s1ttficiency of vessels for the ordi-
nary coastwise traffic. The disper.
sion of a great number of vessels tc
distant points occurs at time when
the conditions of Pacific ports are
more prosperous than for manyyears
and when trade is remarkably active
Ocean freights have continued to ad-
vance, until SO shillings is asked on
wheat charters to Liverpool, yet,
even at this extraordinary figure,
there are but few vessels available.
The value of cereals in California,
Oregon and Washington are uncom-
monty depressed, not because food
stutfs are not in demand, but for the
reason that transportation cannot be
engaged to deliver them.
Except in one instance, the single
tonnage capacity Of the new ships is
not noticeably great; but the general
average indicates a gradual increase
in size. The steamer Californian, an
iron ship of 4 ,597 tons, built for the
Hawaiian trade, and now in the Phil
ippines, is the largest vessel of her
class ever launched on the Western
coast. If we except the steam
schooner, vessel which is said to be
Of a type peculiar to Pa
cific coast waters, the coast
vessels do not differ greatly
in character from those constructed
elsewhere in the United States. The
largest schooner ever built was of
500 tons. These vessels are design
ed for the shallow harbors of the
coast, and are, consequently, all of
light draught and exceptional beam.
Their carrying capacity is great and
their seaworthiness uncommonly
good. Most of them are fitted for
passenger traffic, and have cabins on
the upper deck aft, though in some
instances the cabins are in the cen
ter They are fitted with compound
engines, and have an average speed
of ten knots. Being schooner
rugged, they are largely Independent
of steam propulsion. The type is
economical as regards the running
expenses, both of crew and motive
power.

mitted in this city in 1898, since
which time Schopps has been con-
fined in the Medical Lake asylum,

evening his voice can be heard in

fan, says a London newspaper.
Though comparatively plain, it is
one of the few objects that gather
value as time rolls on. Even now
many of the signatures written across
the dainty piece Of chicken skin
could not be repeated. The late
Empress Of Austria, Alexander II. of
Russia, the old German Emperor
William Ito these three signatures
now attach a pathetic interest, the
more so when it is remembered that
the first two died by the hand of an
assassin. Nine. Patti was even for
tunate enough to obtain not only
the signature, but long sentence in

gift woman can possess, you, my
dear Adelina, must be the richest

An exchange has the following to
say about the Democratic delegates
to the late state convention in New
York state: 'Of sixty-fve delegates
from Kings county to the Democrat
ic state convention at Syracuse in
1898, all were Roman Catholic ex-
cept three, and a large proportion of
Romanists were on the delegations to
the same convention from other
counties. The state committee Of
the Democratic party in 1898 COM
prised fifty-six members, thirty-six
Of whom were Catholics. The new
executive committee for the year
was composed of eleven members,
nine of whom at least were Catholics.
There are not over $4,000 Catholic
voters in the Republican party in
the state of New York. The infu-
ence of the Romish church, despite
the demands Of Bishop Ireland, was
used through every source to accom-
plish the defeat Of Mckinley. At a
public meeting held under the aus
pices Of the Democratic party in
Brooklyn November 2, 1900, it was
publicly proclaimed by a speaker
that Bryan would be elected, be
cause the Catholics are going to vote
solidly for him. They certainly
kept the pledge, so far as the vote Of
New York City was concerned. But
their pernicious activity, and Crok
er's sublimated gall, aroused the dor
mant spirit of Americanism, which
buried Bryan under an avalanche o
ballots, and sent Croker flying t.
Europe, the worst beaten and mos
disappointed man in all the Tam
many outfit.
