owns more than one'half of the 2,0OO'
ton steamers In the world, having 664
under her register. Germany comes
second. with 1871; France third, with
1l6. and the United States fourth, with

These tables make manifest that the
general tendency In steamship con.
struction for profit is to combine great
cargo capacity with the smallest coal
consumption consistent with fair
rate of speed. Tramp steamers. or
those employed In regular freight lines
are laid down on much larger dimen'
slons but with very little effort to
raise the speed OF this class. Thus we
find steamers of the American-Hawaii'
an Company, designed to carry freight
around Cape Horn, though averaging
nearly 5000 tons, have but 11-knot
speed. The Standard oil Company is
building a big tank steamer OF 5000
tons.
The two mammoth steamers build
ing for j. J. Hill at New London, OF

representatives of the various press
associations or special correspondents

sible and gracious proceeding. Here
tofore II has been troublesome for the
newspaper men TO obtain points about
the Cabinet meetings. or course.
there are times when nothing Is done
that would in the slightest degree in.
terest the public as mere routine gov
ernmental matters only have been dis.
cussed at the meetings. In such in
stances Mr.. Cortelyou or one of the as.
sistant secretaries merely mentions
the fact and the correspondents and
reporters learn quickly that there is
nothing to be had in the way OF news.
II saves also lot of time for the mem.
bers of the Cabinet. They are no lon

sensational "fakirs" simply manufac.
tured stun when they could not get
anything definite about u Cabinet
meeting.
Unfortunately. there are still a few
of such fellows in Washington. and
there probably always will be, unless
the world suddenly becomes better
