The Big Schooner Smeaton Was Floated Off the Beach by Capt. James Reed.
AIR PRESSURE DID IT. Chicago Vessalmen Looking for Win- tir Business The Talic is Three Cents for Storage. i Capt, Raid's Success, jipeclal to The Commarclal: Au Train, Dec. 6. The big steel schooner Smenton, was floated oCt the beach at Rocky Klver Point today after Captain James the eccentric wrecked had pumped air Into the water compartments for three flays from the tug Buscobel.
The tug towing the Smeaton started at Once for Marquette, and they were nearly out of sight of land by 11 o'clock. The successful outcome of Captain Keld's experiment with compressed air will surprise most vessel-men. He has had a hobby for many years of raising sunken vessels with air bags and pontoons. His first big experiment was In lifting the steamer rhillp D. Armour, which was sunk In 90 feet of water, In the St.
Clair River. That time he tried air bags, and although he finally got the Armour afloat the wrecking expenses cost more than the ship was worth. His next big work was In trying to raise the Lehigh Valley Liner Cayuga in 110 feet of water near Waugoshance light In the Straits of Mackinac. He sank a number of steel pontoons and- attached them to the wreck. When he came to pump air Into the pontoons the Oayuga did not come to the surface and she Is still at the bottom of the straits.
Not less than $100,000 was lost during the three seasons Capt. Held pursued his experiments with and with bulldog tenacity. The position of the Smeaton was much more favorable for tho use of air than any other big wreck he had attempted to float. Before striking the shore the water compartments In the bottom of the Smeaton had been filled. The big boat bumped over the reef until she landed in seven feet of water.
Captain Reld put bis air compressors at work and forced the air into the compartments, thereby driving out the water through boles In the bottom or through' pipes. After some fifteen hundred tons of water hed thus been forced out of the wreck the big boat floated clear of the reef and was pulled Into deeper water. The Smeaton Is owned by the Steel Trust and Is valued at about $200,000. One report had it that Captain Reld took the contract of releasing the ship at 40 per cent, of her value which would give him $80,000 for three days work after arriving ti the scene of the disaster. If he failed he was to receive nothing.
Chicago Grain Rates. Special to The Commercial: i Chicago, Dec. 6. With the iclose of the season's shipments of grain vesselmen today began to' look around for business during the winter. One Arm was asking "for tonnage to store wheat until 1 spring, and then take the grain to Buffalo.
Three cents was talked of as the rate. That figure struck some vesselmen as all they could expect. It Is likely that the' rate will be fixed before the end of the week. Ashore Near Chambers. Bpoclal to The Commercial: Sturgeon Bay, Dec.

W. EVENDEN 18-20 Senses SL, Eafale, t. Y. lilfljilflE llElf EXCHANGE PASSES. Railroads Which Run North and South Are in Opposition Position of the Wabash.
The decision of President Norton, of the Clorer Leaf, to withstand the other roads on the question of abolishing passes hns left the mutter in an uusettlrd state, says the Indianapolis Journal. It is knon that the railroads in the Central Association, more especially the trunk lines, are committed to th-i abolition of passes. Other railroads which run north and south, and which in reality are not considered parts of any big system, are not so sanguine in their reports, but some of them have yielded to the. popular sentiment. The attitude of the Clover Leaf haa given other lints a chance for an excuw to break away from the ties which are in a measure irksome, but in this the Wabash really holds the key to the situation, as it is a direct competitor of the Clover Leaf, and if this line decides to eto the antipas agreement the whole agreement might as well be called off for the year as far as the Central Passengtf Association is concerned.
Mr. Norton, president of the Clover Leaf, is an advocate of the non-issuing of passes, and has so declared himself, but has the reputation of taking care of his other lines. To have the Clover Leaf give passes while other lines are not doing so would give the road a great advantage over Its competitor, the Wa-bah, although the latter is a much stronger Kikv In railroad circles an impression prevails, however, that, rather than be defeated, the trunk lines will secure control of the Clover Leaf and then can readily control the The CleveJand Leader says: "The real purpose of the meeting of the Ohio river railroads at Cincinnati recently was to discuss the anti-pass agreement of the' Central Passenger Association. These roads; dissatisfied at not being invited to the New York conference, rer fuse to concur in its decisions. The 'Big Four, Cincinnati, Hamilton Dayton, the Monon and other roads are in the Ohio river roads agreement.
The action of the Clover Leaf in refusing to be a party to the New York agreement encourages them, Other8 Eastern roads opposed to the New York agreement will be asked to join them." MEXICAN NATIONAL. Projected Road of About 200 IVMlea is to be Built. We are officially informed, says the Wall Street Journal that the long projected railway which was to be built connecting Monterey, Mexico, with Mata-moras, near the mouth of the Itio Grande, opposite Brownsville. is to be an accomplished fact. The line is to be built and operated as a part of the Mexican National system.
The proposition for building this important piece of road is now before the Mexican Congress, and its approval is assured. The Mexican National Railway Co. is to receive a subsidy of 000 per kilometer for each kilometer built from the Mexican Government, and the' road must be completed and in operation within two years from the date the concession is granted. The distance is about 200 miles. J.
N. GaVbraith, superintendent of the northern division of the Mexican National, will be in charge of construction of the new line. PROPOSED MERGER. Of the Intercolonial With the Canadian Pacific System. N.
Dec. 6. The Halifax board of, trade has passed a resolution favoring the transfer of the management of the Intercolonial Railway to the Canadian Pacific Railway. The board also passed a resolution in ravor oi tne dominion government establishing a fast steamship service, with Halifax as the terminal on this side of the Atlantic. The Intercolonial is a road built and operated bv the Canadian government, the purpose bein to give the maritime provinces better transportation service.
Under government management there is necessarily the handicap of political influence. Th Canadian Pacific has since aided largely in transportation betterment the maritime provinces. At the present time the Vanderbilt interests; apparently in amicable relations with -the Canadian Pacific, are constructing lines in the maritime provinces' that will connect with -v. i. n.nfinl Kvstem.
me iui There is evidently no further need of government assistance to transportation interests of the maritime provinces, and it Is probable chat the Intercolonial which has never paid, will be merged with the Canadian Pacific. Changes on Lake Shore. Pittsburg. Dec. 6.

'Longshoremen Meeting. At the conference In Cleveland "between the dock managers and longshoremen not much headway was made and the Indications are that it will take the balance of the week to reach an agreement, i Concerning the requests of the longshoremen no official statement could be obtained, but It is understood that the men have asked for an increase of about 6. per cent. The wages last year were seven and one-half cents for loading from the stock piles to the cars by machinery, and nine cents for the same service by The engineers obtained $2.15 a day. it Is understood that the longshoremen have asked for eight cents a ton for handling ore from the stock piles to the cars by machinery, tond that the engineers have asked for $2.30 a day.
The ontest will be on the handling of the ore by machinery, as comparatively none of It Is now shoveled by band. The dock managers have not made, a counter proposlton, but they have held out strongly for a reduction In the rate from last year, demanding that some 'slight concession be made. Those who are well Informed expect that a compromise wiljl be etreeted upon the basis or the prices: ob tulned last year. VESSEL PASSAGES. i Detroit.

YUKON ROAD. I Law Suit Which is Mixed Up with the Dispute Over the Alaskan Boundary Line.
Ottawa, jDecj 6.MacKensie Man, with theji consent of the government, have taken suiit In the Exchequer Court to recover $302,715 for moneys expended in connection with their contract with the government to build an all-Canadian railway to tboj Yukon, This eoutxact was made in 1898 jj with the government, but the senate reected it and consequently the work yas stopped, MieKcnzio Man, I the that is building tho Qreat Northern of Canada, the new transcontinental line, are the interested parties in the above suit. The history of the pf*ckon contract is political. The Laurier administration was not long in office when heYukon gold fever broke out. The merchants of the Puget Sound controlled the new trade, owing to the advantage of oasting Jaws. The Canadian government accepted a proposal from MaeKenaie Man to build and operate a road from tie Lynn canal to Dawson.
The senate, which had a majority of opposition jparfy, refused approval to the contract. Wojj-k on the road had commenced, and was stopped by the senate's action. 111. I i- The Lynn caial is the paramount issue in the Alaskan boundary dispute. The canal is an arm of the sea extending a long distance.
Canada claims the boundary line crosses near! the entrance of tho canal, giving her right to enter the canal and bringing her territory near to the main coasf line. The United States claims the boundary line follows around the canal. 1 Had the raiHyay been built there would probably have "been some trouble over Canadian vessels entering the canal and over harbor rights within. That the Lau- Kner administration aia; not try to get around the senate disapproval of tho contract warrapts the general belief that a hint had comjp from Downing street. GIFTS FROM ROYALTY.

A Respectable Vice. All the More Dangerous Because Good i Society Has Tolerated It Of all the habits -that retard the progress of civilization, none Is more respectable than coffee drinking. No law regnlates it, no public sentiment has condemned it.
The man who drinks strong coffee every day admits the fact with as little hesitation as if coffee drinking were harmless as milk. The; habit is notoriously strong among Women. A prominent physician has recently said, "coffee is woman's whiskey." The very high and wholly undeserved social position of coffee jthat drink doubly dangerous. i To Indicate the condition of body resulting from steady and prolonged coffee drinking the doctors use the word caffelnlsm. The leading symptoms are the dreaded caf-felnic headache, dyspepsia, sleeplessness, irritability of the nerves, and worst, of all fluctuating action of the heart.
Many people say: "I cib work so much better after a cup of coffee. Of course they can. A horse will ran faster when yon prick him with a spur but is stronger? The reasons against coffee-drinking are many and every one of them Is a more or less direct argument in favor of the pare grain coffee. It is made from pare selected grains, and has the fall rich flavor of the best coffee, but it does not gives the headache, indigestion and other accompaniments of coffee drinking. Graln-O is a nourishing drink and can be given to the children as freely as milk.
