than carry them longer on margin are now
bringing them back to the sold or offer

LORD KELYIN'S COMPASS
IMPROVED IN DESIGN
Navigators Can Take Observations by
Night as Well as by Day.

Lord Kelvin's compass and sounding
machine has been improved In design
and construction, and information on
this point has been sent to the State
Department by Consul General Oliver
]. ID. Hughes. at Coburg. Germany.
In the newest form OF the compass the
illumination is effected from below, and
either oil lamps or electric light may be
used The bottom Of the compass bowl
Is in the form of a strong, thick lens.
through which the light IS r, rsactcd on
the card.
The intensity of the light may be
varied at the pleasure OF the observer.
and this is found to be exceedingly
useful in taking bearings of stars or
other faint lights. A new antivibra-
tional suspension has been designed,
which insures great steadiness in the
card: and a new form of helmet. with
rifle sights, facilitates very considerably
the work of taking bearings
With the new helmet navigators are
able to take bearings of lights and stars
by night with the same ease and con-
Venience as bearings of the sun are
now taken by day. The new form Of
sounding machine has been constructed
or height which has been found. from
practical experience, TO be the most
suitable for the work OF winding in the
line In addition to this great advan-
form of brake action, and further adj
vantage is that the working parts OF the
machine are all Ia sight AID can be
easily removed If necessary.

WANT SMALLER VESSELS
FOR REVENUE SERVICE
Type of Fast Sailers of 600 Tons Dis
placement Desired to Overtake
Small Smuggling Craft.

Smaller vessels than have usually been
constructed will be built for the use OF
the Revenue Cutter Service hereafter.
Cutters of from 300 to 1000 tons are in
use for the most part at present. IL is
the intention OF the Treasury Depart
ment gradually to replace these with
vessels Of an extremely swift and sub
stantial type of about 600 tons. This is
the type of vessel now seen In the
Seminole. on the Boston station. and in
the Tuscarora, on the Great Lakes.
In the last annual report of Secre-
tary Shaw, the Construction of several
cutters of a small and very fast type
was recommended. They are especially
needed in the Puget Sound district and
at some points on the Great Lakes to
overtake and board smuggling vessels
engaged in transferring goods from
tramp ships at anchor 20 private docks.
The vessels desired are cutters weigh
ing about 800 tons. Vessels of this size
cost about 500, 900. They are large
enough for seagoing. are easily handled.
can be manned by a small force and
altogether are more convenient than
larger vessels.
Captain Shoemaker. Of the Revenue
Cutter Service. says the smuggling ves-
sells are a source of endless trouble to
the service, especially IL the Puget
Sound and Great Lakes region. He is
hopeful that Congress will appropriate
for several vessels this winter, but last
commended, an appropriation wSs made
for but one.

PREFERENTIAL ORDER
INTERESTS VETERANS
Regarded as Good Political Move by the
Administration.

The action of Secretary Shaw in or
dcring that preference in appointments
as laborers be given 20 veterans Of the
civil war who make as high as s. per
cent in physical condition has raised an
interesting question as to what will
happen If the Civil Service Commission
refuses to sanction this stretching Of its
rules. Inasmuch as the President is un-
derstood to be quietly backing up the
order IL is not believed any change in
the regulation will be made
With Gen. John c. Black. head OF the
G. A. r., coming to the Civil Service
Commission, it seems improbable the
commission will go TO any serious
lengths In objecting to the order
The regulation is highly approved by
veterans of the G. A. r. The Interior
and State Departments. Department of
Justice, and Government Printing Office
have adopted the same regulations as
the Treasury. and other departments are
practically doing so. though not for
mally.
TIE political importance OF this step
on the part Of the Administration, COM
ing as il does at the time Of the recog-
milton of the c. A r. by appointing
General Black to a high position, is not
overlooked.

WANT CIVIL SERVICE
FOR DISTRICT OFFICES
Commissioners May Send Such Recon-
mendation to Congress.

Con missioner Macfarland has recon-
mended 10 the District Commissioners
that a bill TO extend the civil service
law over the government of the District
Of Columbia be sent TO Congress with a
favorable recommendation. He recon-
mends that the bill presented by the
Commissioners at the opening session
OF the last Congress b. sent up again.
The Commissioners have repeatedly rec.
commended I'm their annual reports Il
Congress, and otherwise, that such leg
islation be enacted.
The District government is not now
under the civil service law. and they
think it should not be an exception. The
Attorney General has held that under
the uniform decision of the Supreme
Court OF the United States, the District
government is not part OF the Govern
ment of the United States. and that
therefore, the President cannot extend
the civil service rules over it by eXecu-
tive order.

TO ESTABLISH LINE
FROM PERU TO CHINA
First Voyage to Be Undertaken Next
April, According to Paper Pub
hshed in Lima.

Under date of October 20. 1903. United
States Minister l. B. Dudley. of Lima,
Peru. transmits the following transia-
ton of an article from "FI Comercia, -
Lima, relative to the establishment of
steamship line for the development of
the trade of Peru with China and Jep-
an:
For some years past the necessity
has been felt of favoring the develop
ment of our increasing trade with China
and Japan by means of a line of steam
ers. instead of the sailing vessels which
form the only means of direct com
munication with those countries. and
in order TO satisfy this necessity as
well as to facilitate at ths same time
the interchange of products by afford
ing an outlet for our cotton and sugar
in the markets Of eastern Asia, the
Western Steamship Company Com
pania Martina Occidental Vapor)
has been formed.
The itinerary of the voyages will be
from Callao 10 Panama and from the
latter port to Yokohama and Hongkong.
touching at the same ports on the re-
turn voyages
The passenger traffic yearly between
Peru and China IS on the average,
about 200 persons. and the cargo brought
exclusively from Chir5 20 Peru amounts
yearly to about 1000 tons. To this must
be added the passenger and goods traf-
fic with Japan. and finally all the trade
between Panama and Asia. which will
undoubtedly assume an important fig
ure. owing 10 the fact that the steam
ers of the Western Company will be
the only ones that make the voyage
direct from Panama to Japan and
China.
Nowadays all travellers from North.
Central. and South America who arrive
at Colon or Panama on the way to Asia
are compelled unavoidably TO go on to
San Francisco or Vancouver, as at the
present time IL IS ouly at those ports
that steamers leave for the western
coast of Asia.
The starters of this company expect
to make the first voyage next April
