FEARS FOR NICARAGUAN.
Missing Leyland Liner Should Have
Reached Dublin June 81.

NEW YORK, August 12.-For sixty-four
days nothing has been heard Of the Brit
ish steamship Nicaraguan Of the Leyland
line, which sailed from Port Tampa
June 3, called at Norfolk, Va, June 8
for bunker coal and passed out of the Vir-
ginia capes that same day. The Nicaraguan
was due to arrive at Dublin, Ireland, about
June 20 or q. She has not been spoken
since she passed out the capes. and it Is
feared that some accident has befallen the
big liner.
The Nlcaraguan loaded with phosphate
rock at Port Tampa. She was heavily
laden and had she been struck by an Ice
berg, as Is now feared. she would have
gone down within a few minutes. The
missing vessel was of steel construction
had three decks, two of them STEEL and
carried a crew Of about forty men, Capt
Shacklock, who commanded the liner, has
been with the Leyland Line for many years
He was a careful mariner and had never
had an accident.
1t is feared that the steamship either
was run down by big iceberg else ran
into a derelict and damaged herself so
seriously that she foundered. The Mica
raguan was a 5,OOO-ton vessel. built in
Glasgow by Barclay. Curie & Co.. in
1891. The track Of the missing steamship
from the Virginia capes lay directly across
the path Of the iceberg. many OF which
were reported as being dangerous to navi-
cation in June and July. Lloyds classes
her Al. She had every modern device
for safety.

EVERYBODY'LL BE GLAD.
Heavy Thinkers to Tackle the Coal
Waste Problem.

Prevention Of fuel waste. with the indi-
Gated possibility of saving 10 per cent on
the nations annual coal bill of 10000. 600.
is the object of experiments to be renewed
Thursday at the geological surveys testing
plant, recently removed from st. Louis to
Norfolk, Va. The fuels Of the east and
south are to be tested under steam boilers,
in gas producers and gas engines. and by
briquettng. in the hope that a saving of
more than 10 per cent may be shown posi-
bic.
BY a series of recent experiments It has
been demonstrated that stationary boilers
ought to do from ten to twenty times as
much work as they now perform per unit
Of heating surface. These tests will be CON
tinued on three modern boilers. There will
also be experiments in consuming smoke.
Briquetting of coal for the navy will also
be tried, with American. German and Eng
lish machines. 1t Is hoped to show that
the briquetted coal will be more efficient
than the lump coal from the same mine
and virtually smokeless.
Attempts will also be made to discover
the precise cause of spontaneous combus-
ton of stored coal.

AWARD OF YEARLY CONTRACTS.
G. P. o. Completes Purchase OF Ma
terial and Supplies.

The division of purchase has practicahy
mpleted the contracts for materials and
supplies for the government printing office
for the fiscal year, and the major portion
of the samples submitted have been re-
turned The yearly purchases for the ONCE
are growing both In diversity and bulk. and
various restrictions are added from time to
time to safeguard the office and contract
ors Two of the latest wrinkles are the
demanding of the customary trade dis
counts and the requirement OF different
methods of delivering rolls Of paper for the
webb presses
The latter proposition has been q source
of annoyance and loss for years, owing to
the fact that the heavy rolls of paper were
dropped from cars and delivery wagons and
the contents of the wrappers mangled and
torn. 1t Is stated that at times these rolls
would have to be unwound to a depth Of
two inches or more on account of the rough
handling to which they was subjected. The
matter has finally been adjusted to the
satisfaction Of all concerned by providing q
heavy wooden head for each end of the
wheels used by telephone companies for
transporting lead pipe.
The general storekeeper's stock and the
bindery supplies have been placed under the
division Of purchase and the responsibility
conferred under one management. The first
floor of the old building is largely occupied
by paper stock. and as rapidly as possible
this material Is being classified and protect
ed by proper bins and shelving. No material
ia allowed to pass from the supply division,
which includes ali Items Drawn Tor the en-
means the officials are enabled to determine
AZ q moments notice the amount of any
particular item on hand.
