NO HULL FOR ENGINES.
ReUenue Cutter Service Has Ma-
chinery, but No Boat.
TFrom The Tribune Bureau. ]


Washington, Aug. 6.-The revenue cutter service
is in peculiar situation because of the inability
OF New York firm of shipbuilders to carry to
completion contract which it entered into. Con-
sequenuy, the revenue cutter people find them
selves with fine set of machinery on their hands,
or almost so. and no hull in which to put IL.
It appears that by dint Of earnest work with the
committees of Congress the revenue cutter service
secured some years ago appropriation of 100000
Tor the construction of a revenue vessel for
the Maine coast. The specifications called for a
sturdy craft, built OF wood and suitable for rough
work on the rOckbound coast of Maine. where
steel hull would probably be plugged full of holes
whenever there was big blow heavy fog.
Rodemond Brothers, Of Tompkins Cove New
York. secured the contract for the construction of
the hull for s9S60O The government also let the
contract for the machinery. This went TO the
Pusey Jones Company, of Delaware. at sol 600
The machinery IS now about completed but in
quiry concerning the state of the hull reveals the
that the contractors will be unable to carry its
construction TO the launching point. The
machinery won't feat without the hull, the hull
won't float in it's unfinished condition. and the reve
cutter service Is minus much needed vessel.
No decision has been reached as TO what shall
men OF RodemOnd BROTHERS responsible. A confer
will be held with these bonGsmen at an early
date TO determine whether they will complete the
vessel or whether the government shall advertise
for bids from other contractors for the completion
OF the vessel at the expense of the bondsmen. In

the situation.

TO STOP POSTAL ABUSE.
FL KE M4GAZINES
PostoffcesDepartment Investigating
Subscription Lists.
IFrom The Tribuna Bpreau. !

Washington, Aug. GA vigorous campaign Is
now being conducted by the Postoffice Depart
ment against publications enjoying the one cent
a pound postage rate in violation of the law.
This campaign is being made with view OF
wiping out the deficit in postal receipts. which
last year amounted TO more than S14.0oO0OO.
and for which it is charged these publications
are largely responsible.
The admitting Of magazines and other pub
locations to the low rate of postage requires that
each must have bona fide subscription list. and
tnat the subscription must be paid for in cash by
the subscriber or some friend. The department
has obtained possession Of the subscription lists
OF many of these publications. and it is sending
out thousands of communications asking those to
whom these publications are mailed whether
Iney or their friends paid for the subscriptions
many responses have already been received,
ana a large proportion say that the papers in
question are being mailed without having been
pald for When several such answers regarding
one publication are in the hands of the depart
ment' the managers of the publication are sum-
moned and asked to show cause why they should
not be deprived OF the privilege of mailing their
puOhcauons at the one cent pound rate When
unable to furnish a satisfactory reason they are
then denied the privilege and to continue their
business must pay cents pound.
In his last annual report Postmaster General
Cortelyou said that it cost the government from
D to o cents pound to handle mail matter of all
classes. During the last fiscal year the total
eag Ms,gnI carried at one cent pound and free was
oo1, ,lOI.l2S pounds. If it cost the government
cents a pound TO handle this matter It will be
seen the amount paid out was s33. .15J 1856 40.
The actual revenue was S6.1S6.647 81
Inc situation now and for some tine past,
says the Postmaster General with regar5 70 the
publishers of bona fide newspapers and periodi-
calls and the public ITSELF is wholly different
from that at the time the law was enacted. The
joint committee of Congress which is to revise
the law will hold a hearing at the Holland
House, in New York. on October 1.

SEA GIVES UP DEAD.
Bodies of Sirio Victims Cast ashore
CAPTAIN Not q Suicide.

Cartagena, Spain, Aug 6-Numerous bodies
were thrown up the shore during the day
from the wreck OF the italian steamer Sirio
Most Of them of persons OF the better class.
Several small fishing smacks have arrived.
bringing in sometimes one and sometimes sew
eral survivors of the sirio who were found float
ing at sea a long distance from the scene Of the
disaster.
It is believed that some of the passengers,
who secured life belts have been picked up alive
by French. German, Italian British sailing
vessels passing in the vicinity, and have dis
embarked at Barcelona, Port Vendres or Mar
settles. The vicinity of Cape Palos is much fire.
quented by sailing and steam ships.
Spanish warships stationed at Cartagena and
Alicante have been ordered to search the neigh
borhood OF the catastrophe for survivors who
may be still floating pieces of wreckage or
with life buoys. British warships at Gibraltar
have also started at full speed in the direction
Of Cape Palos TO render assistance in exploring
the surrounding
The first reports Of the disaster declared with
out qualification that the captain of the Sirio
had committed suicide. Later information. how
ever. shows that he was the steamer when
she sank. and expressed the determination to go
down with his vessel. He was afterward rescued
in spite OF his refusal 20 be saved.
The Spanish Minister OF the Interior has re-
Quested the Ministry Of Finance TO supply funds
to succor the stricken passengers. The italian
consul here and the members OF the italian
colony. acting in cooperation with the local au-
thorities. have provided for the immediate wants
OF the shipwrecked people.
The survivors Of the Sirio wreck to date are
34S Italians, 40 Spaniards, ii Arabs, 10 Aus
trians, Orientals. a Argentines Brazilians,
2 Montenegrins and 119 persons whose nation
ality is not set forth.
