BIG COAL sCHOONERs IN DEMAND.

For some years past it has been an increas-
ing problem as to what was to become of the
big schooners built for the coastwise coal car
rying trade, in view of the fact that barges
and steamers were fast monopolizing the bus
mess. Freights at times were 80 low as to be
improbable and for months at a time these
big schooners were laid up in New England
ports. The European war has changed all
that. Many of these schooners have been sold
on foreign account, others have had highly
profitable charters to South American and
European ports. some paying for themselves
in single voyage. The six masted schooner
Eleanor A. Percy was recently sold to New
York concern for $l25 00O The Percy is one
of the largest sailing vessels in the coastwise
feet e. 401 tons gross) and was built at Bath
in 1900 by Percy & Small She was the Sec
ond six-mastcr ever constructed, the first one
being the George W. Wells, which was wreck
ed few years ago. The buyers are the same
parties who In July last bought the 6ve-mast-
ed schooner Helen w. Martin and loaded her
with cotton at New. York for Archangel, Rus
STA. The Coastwise Transportation Co. Bos-
ton, at one time the owners of 20 sailing craft
has had this fleet reduced to three by sale or
shipwreck and is now disposing of them, plan
ming to maintain their business hereafter en-
tirely by steamers. They have just sold the FIVE
masted schooner Van Aliens Boughton, 2.129
gross tons, built at Camden in 1900, to New
York concern, supposedly the parties buying
the Percy and Martin, aad who, it is said, will
shortly acquire the five-masters Margaret
Haskell and Marcus L. Urann, also owned
by the Coastwise Company. All three of the
above vessels have been chartered to load
lumber at Gulf ports for the west coast of
Italy, getting therefor $38 per thousand feet.
which makes their charters PROBABLY the best
paying ever secured by any sailing vessels.

There is conclusive evidence that Ger.
man agents under the direction of Ger.
man officials have been committing in
cendiarism in this country, placing bombs
on passenger and cargo ships sailing for
foreign ports, and that they have en-
deavored to involve this country in the
Mexican trouDles-all with a view to
preventing the shipments of munitions
and supplies to the allies, and with no
reg ard for the loss of innocent lives or
the destruction of private property.
Now it has come to light that Germany
has expended SIS, 900, 00C in maintaining
1000 German curb orators to stand
about the bulletin boards and attend pub
lie gatherings to disseminate pro- Ger
man sentiments. The pay of these men
ranged from $50 to $500 per week, and
dropping them from the pay rolls has led
to making public the details of the
oratorical propaganda. Count Won Bern

ing force of this great oratorical organi-
zaticn, whose operations have extended
over a continent. The avowed purpose
Of this propaganda was to promote a
public sentiment strong enough to pre-
vent the shipment of munitions to the
Allies. The Kaiser has been led to be-
lieve that it has converted 80 per cent. of
the American people to the German cause
and that the money has been we'll spent.
