charge and the case was carried over

CASTRO'S OFFER.
His Thirty Per Cent Offer Considered
Very Fair.

Berlin. Jan. 27.-President Castro's
offer of 30 per cent of customs receipts
of La ,Guayra and Porto Cabello as a
guarantee of the payment of the for
eign claims is regarded in Official cir
cles here as evidence of the sincerity
of his intention to make a satisfactory
settlement. AS the offer, however, in
cludes the claims of other countries,
besides those taking part in the block
ade, some doubt is expressed as to
whether 80 per cent is adequate. A
discussion is now proceeding to deter
mine this point. II is also uncertain
whether the allies will admit that the
powers which do not join in the block
ade shall share in the results the
former secured through expensive
naval operations

TRENTON, N. J., March 27.-The Passaic pollution bill was the subject of another long discussion in the sen ate yesterday. It was advanced to a third reading Wednesday night, but MT. Mckee asked to have the bill re- turned>to second reading for the pur- pose of amendment. Mir. Mckee was supported by the Democrats, who were prompted to spirit of retalia- tion because of the action of the Re publican house caucus Wednesday night in deciding to support the Jer- sey City excise bill MT. McKee's mo- ton prevailed, and the Passaic sena- tor offered an amendment that so far as practicable only union labor and citizens of New Jersey should be em- ployed by the contractors in the build ing of the sewer.

 The New York papers announce that the wholesale price of anthracite coal will be reduced on April to $4.oO a ton at tidewater. That is the kind or first of April joke the people would like to see perpetuated the year round. Four-fifty coak at tidewater means $o.oO coal in New Britain or whereabouts.

How substantial is the gain accruing to the miners in the matter of money alone, says an exchange, may be esti- mated from the fact that the lump sum of three million dollars as back pay will be distributed among them in consequence of the agreement en- tered into with the operators that the rate. of wages fixed by the commission should take effect from the date it came into existence. Under the same agreement the mine operators and the miners are bound for three years to the acceptance of the findings and terms made by the commission. Thus until 1906 the miners will be in secure possession of the benefits in the shape of increased pay and shorter hours which they haze won in their tussle with the coal trust, which, while ex- torting the highest possible price for coal from the public, have tried to re- duce the. miners wages to the lowest possible figure.

MACHINES SEEM TO THINK.
Marvellous Effectiveness of the Dredges Used in the Great
 Lakes.

The home of the dipper dredge is on the great lakes. There it four ished, and in the smaller sizes and in non-tidal fresh water at 20 feet depth was marvelously efficient. A good wooden dredge of ten years ago, which cost, say, $3O,o0o, would do 1,5oo or 2,000 cubic yards per ten hours, with a crew of six men, on three tons of coal, says the Engineer ing Magazine.
 It could lift it's spuds, move up and reset again in 90 seconds. It stands alone like a table on its legs, with no moorings to obstruct navigation. By means of it's dipper on the bottom it can move itself about crab-fash1on in any direction, and by the same means can push the barges about which it is loading. 1t can nnaneuver itself in any direction, load scows, dig foundations, pull piles, lay con- crete blocks, deposit back-filling, lift powders, raise wrecks, dredge hard or soft material, and do nearly every thing but vote. Its great simplicity made it light in repairs. With tools like these, and suitable for their work. the marvel is not that Amer1- can contractors do not use the big and costly European ladder dredges, but that these useful American tools do not find wider recognition in Europe and abroad.

I'm many cases in my experience when unions were recognized by com- pany," writes c. U. Carpenter in the Engineering Magazine, "foremen were found making it so unpleasant for union shop committeeman that only the worst and most radical men would serve; the better men not only would not serve on committees, but would not even attend meetings, not caring to be identified with the movement, espe- ctally in. view of the foremen's atti- tude. "* A policy of encouraging the men to attend their meetings and serve on their committees will result in great good. It should always be kept in mind that these committees are not only the representatives of the men before the company, but also practi- cally the representative of the company before the unions." :-
