tends to retire from politics January l next,

political service during a period of years
sufficient to entitle him to be relieved OF
further active political effort He desires
to devote more time to his personal affairs
and professional duties than he has in the
past.
Mr.. Hill will continue his work in the
present campaign. and to his friends said
that he would always maintain his interest

citizen.

Cost Of Running Compared.

]: The cost of running the Baltic and the
Kaiser Wilhelm II can hardly be COM
pared, butt Is a remarkable fact that
seventeen knots an hour is a very much
more economical speed that twenty-three.
In fact, the increase of expense with in
crease of speed is entirely out OF proportion
to the speed gained While the Baltic on
her load draft displaces 10000 tons, and the
Kaiser Wilhelm Ii only 10000. the latter
vessel costs great deal more to run than
the Baltic. To gain the extra speed over
her slower rival, amounting to about 40
per cent, the German vessel requires a crew
as the British steamer. and burns at least
double the quantity of coal a day. Again.
the Baltic can carry $4,000 tons Of cargo
and 1900 passengers, WHINE the Kaiser
