After occupying a berth on the south
side of Long wharf for A years the Gus
tomhouse tug has been ordered 10 va
cate and has been forced 10 move up 10
the north side of the pier, and will
hereafter lie in the basin between Long
wharf and T wharf.
From a rental of $500 which the gov
ernment was al first compelled 10 pay
for berth-room privilege, the price mas
advanced 10 nearly $4,000 per year.
The Winnisimmet will probably find
her new quarters pretty cramped, ar
the basin is usually filled with fishing
vessels and is sometimes 40 coDgested
that it is difficult for vessels TO move
In or out from the pier.
The Ancient and Honorable artillery
company after the annual dinner in
June filed with the aldermen a request
that the fee for the use OF Faneuil hall
be waived in favor of the company.
The fee for the use of the hall is
$40 for afternoon and SIS for evening
The Apcients have armOry accommOda-
tion in the hall for which the city
makes no charge.
The aldermen passed the order waiy-
ing the fee and sent II 10 the mayor
for his approval. The mayor went
away on his vacation, leaving the order
behind untouched. Hls refusal 10 ap-
prove or disapproye for 10 days after
the order came TO nand made the order
effective without his signature. The An
clients will not have to pay for the use
Of Faneuil hall this year.
The wave OF heat that has been roll
Ing across this part Of the country for
more than two weeks past has made 10
very uncomfortable for suffering hu-
manity. A day or two at a time of such
heat would be rather interesting mete-
orologically but II becomes a decided
bore, ana worse, when 1t continues
with no let-up at all.
In these circumstances II is desirable
that everyone should summon up such
resources OF philosophy as he can com
mand to mitigate his personal discom-
tort. And it Is an undoubtcd fact that
by maintaining proper mental attl-
tude and observing some simple physi-
cal regulations Of conduct a great deal
OF the distress accompanying hot
weather can be averted
Above all, do not worry But II wor-
ries press upon you, don't get angry,
don't dispute, don't swear. All these
things heat the blood and even the cX-
pISssion Of righteous wrath makes for
physical discomfort A cool mind and
cool temper tend to a cool body.
Activity OF the Canadian immigration
authorities has brought back to Boston
number OF Italians who recently
went from this city in search of en-
ployment They were held up on the
Canadian border and as they had very
little money they were turned back
The Italians were indignant and on
reaching this city they went to Col
Billings, immigration commissioner
here and reported the incident The
commissioner knew of the efforts of
the Canadian officials to keep out "un-
desirables," but this was the first case
OF foreigners who had been in this
country for any length OF time being
refused admission.
Several Bulgarians who arrived here
on the steamers from abroad. destined
for points in Canada have been deport-
ed because the Canadian authorities
declined TO allow them to enter the
country on account of their poverty
They insist that immigrants shall have
at least SOS each to provide for their
temporary wants, and they do not take
chances OF any OF them becoming in.

Steamship interests and grain ex-
porters, who are just now passing
through one OF the dullest periods in
this ports history, can see ray OF
hope in the action OF the Montreal
steamship lines in advancing rates on
grain from shilling to a shilling and
sixpence per quarter. This advance
became effective few days ago. and
II places Boston on a parity with Mon
treal, the cheaper rail rate to the ST.
Lawrence port being Offset by the lower
ocean rate from Boston.
Steamers scheduled TO leave Montreal
durding the present month are booked
TO their capacity with grain, and the
advance in rates was due to the lack
OF room. Bookings at the higher rate
are being made for August The Bos-
ton exporters expect thar some of the
overflow from the Canadian port will
find an outlet here.
