NEW STEAMBOAT LAWS
Sought by Association of Masters
and Pilots.

and Pilots.
The American Association of Masters
and Pilots. which includes nearly the
whole harbor force of American ports,
has mapped out an ambitious pro-
gramme for Congress to put into eff
feet. The Grand Executive Commit
tee has drafted four bills of radical
nature, and the various ports are pre-
vailing upon their respective congress
men to support them.
The first is a bill to take an appeal
from the supervising inspector of the
district. 1t provides that any person
feeling aggrieved at the decision of
the supervising inspector of the dis
trict on an appeal to that officer from
fthe board of local inspectors may,
within twenty days after the decision,
appeal to the supervising inspector
general, stating, however, the exact
grounds of exception either as to law
or facts. The supervising inspector
shall Immediately transmit to the
supervising inspector general the en-
tire record of the case. If the sup
cruising inspector general finds the
supervising inspector has erred, the
case shall be remanded to the super
vising inspector, with directions to
mOdlty MS decision ana renQer one IN
accordance with the decision of the
supervising inspector general, which
decision shall be final.
Another bill aims to prevent the
overlooking of vessels. 1t provides that
the owner of every American steam
vessel, except vessels of small register
employed solely in fishing, and pleasure
yachts, shall mark upon each of the
| sides of the vessel, amidship, in white
or yellow, on a dark ground, or in
black on a light ground, a circular
disc twelve inches in diameter, with
a horizontal line eighteen inches in
/ length, drawn through the center. The
| center of this disc shall be placed at
such a level as may be approved by
! the local inspectors for the district,
! and shall indicate the maximum legal
! load line. If the vessel is so loaded
as to submerge the center of the disc,
such submersion shall be a reasonable
| cause for the detention of the vessel.
| Any owner or master failing to cause
| his ship to be so marked or allowing
| it to be submerged below the load
line, or any person who shall conceal
] or remove such a mark, shall be liable
| to a fine not exceeding $1,000.
! Evidently even masters have trouble
| in collecting wages, as well as sea-
/ men. for a bill will be introduced ito
| extend the lien for mariners wages
/ to the masters of the vessels"
Two other bills relate to New York

New York, Nov. 11.-After opening
steady, but rather irregular, and ner-
vous, as a result of conflicting early
news the cotton market this morning
became very excited and active, and
was soon on it's way toward the high
level of the season. First prices were
at a decline of 8 points to an advance
of points, the declines being due to
liquidation, talk of a less favorable
turn in Far Eastern affairs, and con-
tinued heavy receipts, while the adj
vances were in line with bullish cables,
unsettled weather and covering.
On the call the market was rather
quiet but almost Immediately the bulls
began to support prices. Before the
advance was checked the market had
reached, and in some instances pass
ed, the previous high point, and then
showed a net gain of 10 to 20 points
on the more active positions.
At this level there was active realiz-
ing, and reports that Fall River spin
ners would reduce wages 10 per cent.
unsettled bull confidence, as it was
argued that the cut might lead to
strike, and a consequent reduction
in spinners' takings.
The market closed barely steady at

TRIED TO TAKE A Many.

Tampa Tribune: Striking terror to
the hearts Of the mother and her chill
dren a monkey Of unusual size dashed
into the residence of Police Lieutenant
W. A. Johnson, yesterday afternoon,
and going to the bed where lay the six
months old infant of the family, seized
the babe. lifted 1t bodily from the bed
and started with it to the door The
larger children left in terror, and there
ensued a battle between Mrs. Johnson,
who was the only grown person in the
house, and the unexpected visitor. The
mother rescued the babe from the in
vader and replaced it on the bed and
then chased the monkey about the
house from room to room until she
finally succeeded in driving 1t from the
door. II was learned that the monkey
had arrived in Tampa Sunday night on
the steamer Fanita from Mobile, and
that it was the property of c. NJ. Marsh
of Lakeland, who had just returned
from Honduras. Mr.. Marsh bought the
monkey from a native forty-five miles
In the interior of Honduras, being at
tracted by it's remarkable size. Mr..
Marsh took possession of the monkey
last night and took it to Lakeland on
the Coast Line train. On the train the
monkey created considerable excite
ment by leaping from the floor of the
car and swinging on the bellcord.

MARINE TELLlGENCE.
Visitors Saw the Big steamship St.
Andrew Loading Cotton at Central
RufIrnad

Visitors Saw the Big steamship ST.
Andrew Loading Cotton at Central
Railroad.
Chief Engineer A. r. Powell and
First Assistant D. L. Balharrie showed
several interior visitors over the steam
ship st. Andrew, loading cotton at the
Central Railroad high wharf. The
courtesies shown them were appreciat-
ed by the visitors, to whom the
explained.
The engines of the st. Andrew were
installed in 1899 by the Waldsend Ship
way and Engineering Company of New
castle, and are OF 1000 horse power.
She has three tremendous boilers,
which are all used at sea. In port
only one boiler is used, which has suf-
ficient power to drive the twelve steam
winches and the several donkeys scat
tered about the ship. She also has a
Harding patent counter regulator
which regulates the speed of both pro-
pellers when the vessel is pitching and
rolling in heavy weather. She also has
Wiers patent duplex feed pumps and
heaters combined which puts the
water in the boilers at 200 degrees
Fahrenheit. Salt water is never used
as all the water for the boilers is
condensed or distilled by a patent fill
ter for feed water to pass through to
hold the sediment. Five thousand gal
Ions of water per day can be filtered
without trouble. The entire ship is
lighted throughout by electricity, fur
nished by an Allan, Son & Co. electric
dynamo.
Among the varied responsibilities in
trusted to the chief engineer is the pro-
lection if his engines and machinery
and the position of his assistants are
also responsible ones. There are many
deeds of real heroism enacted In the
engine room, of which little is heard
The engines of the St. Andrew are
fine specimens of mechanical work, and
to keep them in order requires intelli-
gence and mechanical skill.
The third engineer of the st. Andrew
is Charles Lilburn; fourth engineer,
George Drummond, and fifth engineer,
Albert Hancock.
