TO TRY PORTO P.ICAN TRADE.
SAV \\NAH MERCHANTS THIXIv
THEY SOOtLD H AVE A SHAME
OF IT.
Th( , Cessation of Hostilities Opens
Way For a Great Increase in
.savannah's Trade Field Whole
sale Houses Preparing to Send
Men to the New Possessions—Need
of a Direct Line of Steamers From
Savannah.
Savannah merchants are awake to the
j>". ibiliik-s of a valuable trade with Porto
Rtco as soon as conditions are such that It
,an 1* handled. The cessation of hostili
ties has opened the way for a great ta
crea-e in Savannah’s commercial territory.
Already the effect of peace has created a
stimulus in trade, and within the next few
months, the producers and manufacturers
cf this country will be pushing into the
new markets. •
Mr. Joseph Ferst, president of the
Wholesale Grocers Association, says
that Savannah should by all. means
rea> h out after Porto Rican trade. He
is firmly of the belief that efforts will be
made to get Savannah's share of it.
The doubt that has existed all along
causing concerns to hesitate, thereby
checking trade to some extent, should now
he removed, and doubtless will be remov
ed. Confidence in this country’s ability
to do things, will restore activity in busi
ness, and make times better generally.
••We feel the good effects of peace,” said
Mr. Ferst. “Our trade gives signs of im
provment and we are expecting a great
trade from now on.”
Mr. Ferst said he Is In correspond
ence with men to go to Porto Rico to
work business there. These commer
cial men may be sent into Havana also.
Ships are expected here shortly to load
provisions for some of the islands. Ef
forts have been made looking to this end,
and it may be that next week vessels
will begin loading here for the West In
dies.
”1 have letters from Islanders,” said
Mr. Ferst, “wishing to know if we would
exchange merchandise for their products.”
“Will you exchange?”
“It Is not definitely settled. But the
chances are that their products will be
used.”
Vessels leaving here Tuesday will reach
there Thursday. The round trip should
be made in a week. “With such advan
tages In time,” said Mr. Ferst, "for reach
ing Porto Rico, there is no reason why we
should not be in advance of some others
in securing this trade.”
Hon. Herman Myers, president of the
Savannah Grocery Company, be
lieves Savannah should make an effort
to secure her share of the trade of Porto
Rico. Savannah is nearer than any other
port, and when Porto Rico is annexed,
as she most assuredly will be, he believes
an effort should be made to put on a line
of steamers from this port to the island.
He believes that capital is ready and will
ing to go into a line of steamers. Not
large steamers, but small steamers. "Evi
dently,” My Myers 6ays, “there will be
a large demand for lumber and doubtless
the bulk of it will go from Savannah if
she had the means of transportation.
Charleston will try for It, perhaps, but
with all of them into It Savannah might
control as much trade as she is able to
handle with a small line of steamers."
Mr. Myers said that in exchange for our
merchandise, we might handle hides, fruit
end other commodities as are shipped
from Porto Rico.
No doubt exists as to the preference this
country will be given by the Porto Ricans
aid Cuba for that matter. Savannah will
stand in her own light if she does not
reach out for this trade.
"While no concern here so far as I am
aware," he said, “is making a direct ef
fort io induce this trade, I believe there
should be, and may be will be, in the near
future vigorous efforts along this line.”
No reason exists why a great business
between the United States and Porto Rico,
•specially, Mr. Myers, thought, should be
buid up. No duty will lie placed upon
Porto Rican goods and none upon Ameri
can goods.
Mr L. Adler said “I think Savannah
si "u, i get her share of the trade of Porto
p.ico. (If course New York will get the
lion share, and she Is no doubt making
ehorts now to secure It, but there will lie
room tor Savannah to get all she wants.”
Mr. Adler expressed the’belief that many
concerns who go there, taking capi
tal and labor will open new territory for
t' country. This means a great deal,
ea,d be. It means expansion. It will reduce
our overproduction in the United States.
It will find anew and sure territory for
merchandise of every description, that
formerly became a drug In ihe market,
because there was not enough comsump
tlon here for It, and we had no outlet to
Porio Kican territory. Spain, always being
the favored country from which shipments
cam,. and to Avhioli they went, will no
•eager control that trade. United States
1 henceforth be the favored country to
"hi h Porto Rico will ship and from wnich
6he "'HI receive shipments.
it :s understood that other concerns in
ba nnah are preparing to send repre
sentatives to Porto Rico to investigate,
' " ihiy establish branch houses there.
; 1 • H. Levy believes that this is an
*>Pii: iunity ft>r securing trade and im
ommerce that the United States
p - hoi seen before. By opening up with
, to 'l*'” as we will, we get an outlet
( or our manufactures, we secure trade

“c can supply lumber, too,” said Mr.
“Our Georgia pine should prove
P’U-il.ir there, and no doubt will.” Mr.
b laves that as Savannah is nearer

M"'wale everything to be consumed in

At present most of the trade between
the United States and the West Indies i*
done through New York, the steamship
service being provided by the following
lines;
To Cuban Ports—The New York and
Cuba Mail Steamship Company.
Haytlen and Jamaican Ports—The At

Haytien and Santo Domingan Ports—
The Clyde Sleamship Company.
Haytien Ports—The Royal Dutch West
Indian Mail Line.
Porto Rican Ports—The New York and
Porto Rican Steamscip Company.
These companies reach the principal
West Indian Islands. The Plant Steam
ship Company operates lines of steamers
from Tampa and Key West to Havana
and a line to Kingston, Jamaica.
STRENGTH OF A LOCOMOTIVE
A Test Made on the Pennsylvania
Hnil read.
What a freight engine can do in the way
of hauling loaded cars has been demon
strated on the middle division of the Penn
sylvania railroad. Some mammoth engines
have been recently constructed for that
road and one of those on a trial trip this
last week drew 120 loaded cars. It was sub
sequently attached to a train of 155 cars,
and although It did not move them suc
ceeded in pulling apart two cars and almost
ruining them. Another gigantic freight
locomotive turned out of the Juniata shops
is to be tried the coming w T eek and is ex
pected to haul 135 cars.
What the weight of these cars and their
freight is is not stated. It is hardly possi
ble, though, that they are as heavy as a
Central Railroad loaded freight car. The
engines used on the Central’s freight
trains, while of course, not to be compared
in pulling power with those moguls recent
ly built for the Northern road, are at the
same time fine locomotives, and capable of
doing very heavy work. On some sections,
where the grade Is level, they can pull as
high as fifty cars, or a weight of about
two thousand tons, while on some other
portions of the system the limit of their
capacity would be sixteen or eighteen load
ed cars. Beyond fifty cars, even on the best
of grades and tracks, the train is too un
wieldy to handle. On a good level grade the
average haul on the Central is about 1,400
tons, while on the steep grades it runs
down as low as 600 tons. An engine, for
lstance, will start out from Birmingham
bound east with probably sixteen or sev
enteen cars, taking that many as far as
Columbus. There a lighter engine will
take the train and bring it on to Macon.
Enough cars to Increase the weight to
1,000 tons could be added there and brought
down to Tennille. From Tennille on to
Savannah additional cars could be added
until nearly 2,000 tons weight was reached
before Savannah came in sight. The ca
pacity of the engines on the Central is
regarded as sufficient for the traffic and
equal to that of the great majority of the
roads In the country.
The Georgia and Alabama Road comes
up with its usual flattering weekly state
ment of earnings. For the week ending
Aug. S its earnings were $27,394, against
*17,648 last year, an increase of 56 per
cent., and from July 1 to Aug. 8, $116,68'),
against *95,600, an increase of *21,080, or 22
per cent.
The reorganization of the Baltimore and
Ohio will, it is said, have no effect on the
relief department of the road. Officials of
the department say that, if anything, it
will be strengthened. The present mem
bership is 25,441. There has been paid in
the relief feature alone *5,105,607.32 for
225,922 eases of accidental death, surgical
expenses, sickness and deatns from natu
ral causes.
What Is said to be the largest switch
service in the country Is being put in at
South Chicago, where the tracks are oper
ated by four roads, and the use of 135
switch stiles is required.
The trunk lines have granted a rate of
one fare for the round trip on account of
the Knights of Pythias biennial encamp
ment, to be held at Indianapolis during
the week of Aug. 22 to 27. The Eastern
roads have steadily refused to make anv
concessions to Western cities which failed
to pass anti-scalping ordinances, and In
dianapolis, being unable to pas* such an
ordinance on account of the state law,
had lost all hope of getting a favorable
rate. The Western Passenger Associa
tions have already made a rate of I cent
a mile for the encampment.
The Jacksonville Times-Unlon is respon
sible for the statement that the Plant
System has, or is now, expending in im
provements in that city a total of about
$100,600. In the meantime the plans for
the new depot at Savannah are still in
blue prints only .
Considerable interest is being felt In rail
road circles as to the routes over which
the soldier* now in Florida will go to
reach thei.r next camping grounds. It is
the impression lhat the Florida Central
and Peninsular, in moving the troops
from Fernandina, will give the haul to
the Southern at Everett City. There is
reported to be some lively competition be
tween the Plant System and the Florida
Central and Peninsular about securing the
handling of Ihe troops, as well as of the
great number of mules and horse*.

MORE MEAT THROWN AWAY.
/
HIT THE MINNEWASKA’S ICF. MA
CHINES WERE GOT IN ORDER
BEFORE SHE SAILED.
Chief Engineer Mnsden Tell* Abonf
the Break Down—Said Ho Had No
Time to Test Machinery Before
Leaving New York A Stroll
Through the Engine Houma. \\ here
Assistant Engineer Hoot Total ;
the Mechanism of the Minuowaaka.
Another lot of spoiled meat was taken
from the Minnewaska before she sailed,
but the ship’s ice machines were in per
fect working order when the additional
supplies were put aboard, and there was
no fear of further trouble. The meat re
moved was a part of that taken out Fri
day, which it was thought at the time
could be preserved.
The break down In the refrigerating
plant occurred at sea. The discharge pipe
that throws sea water overboad from a
big condenser, burst on the voyage down,
and instead of throwing the water out, it
was emptied into the hold of the ship. This
prevented using the ice machines at all,
the result of which was they had to be
stopped, let the temperature In the meat
room go where it would. There was no
emergency machines, such as are invari
ably kept where large storage rooms are to
be refrigerated.
Chief Engineer William Masden was seen
on the Minnewaska yesterday by a Morn
ing News representative, and was asked
concerning the break-down. He explained
lhat he was called on to take the ship at
New York, and was ordered to leave port
without even having had the opportunity
of turning over his engines. While there
was little trouble experienced by either
himself or the forty firemen in taking hold
of the task before them, still he thinks
the mishap might have been averted, had
there bgen less rush and more caution In
loading the meat in New York.
Chief Masden is a skilled engineer, and
shows a thorough knowledge of his busi
ness in the manner he handled the Min
newaska, except the little break hi the
ice machine. He thinks there would not
have been the slightest trouble, had he
had the chance to test every part of the
ship’s machinery before leaving port.
As everybody was In a rush, the steve
dores hustling provisions to the cold stor
age rooms, the soldiers wandering about
the ship confusedly, and the crew making
preparations to haul in the lines, Chief
Masden was prettily busily engaged and
left further explanations to Junior Second
Assistant C. S. Root. Down thirty feet
through a labyrinth of iron stairs he went
until the bottom was yeached. In passing
from the stairs to the boilers, an occa
sional burst of wind from the air conduc
tors was about the only relief from the
atmosphere, heated by burning oils, steam
pipes in every direction, and the hot boil
ers amidships.
"Here are two triple expansion engines,”
said Assistant Root, pointing to the huge
monsters lying side by side. The cylinders
are 30, 50 and 80 Inches in diameter, the
stroke is i’/i feet, and they are 6,000 horse
power capacity. There are four Scotch boil
ers, under which are eighteen furnaces.
The coal consumption is 50 tons every
twenty-four hours.”
Mr. Root had little time to explain mat
ters much, and the atmosphere made
brevity consoling in this instance. Going
through a number of small passages, he
presently came to a little engine that run
the ice machine. Pipes ran in every di
rection, some of which were hot as blazes,
while on others dinged a coating of frost
and snow. The mysteries of the place
were something remarkable, and probably
few of the thousand fellows above had
any Idea of how their grub was to be
kept cool until they reached Santiago.
“No ice Is made aboard ship,” said
Assistant Root. "The meat rooms are
refrigerated with carbonic acid gas. Un
der a pressure of 1,200 pounds to the
square inch this gas, which comes to us
in bottles, is injected into,
a compressor. All gases when compressed
become highly heated, and when expand
ed, they cool. This is the theory of re
frigerating aboard ship. This compressed
gas passes through a coll pipe in a big
basin of sea water and Is cooled. It
flows on In this pipe, where the pressure
has been reduced from 95 to 70 degrees,
and on reaching an expansion valve, the
high pressure of 1.200 is let off, which re
duced the gas to zero. It then passes
through nother coil pipe,, which is in a
large basin of brine. This brine Is cooled
by the cold gas. The brine is pumped in
to pipes in the meat rooms above. The
cold gas is not released, but travels
around to the condenser again, Is com
pressed as before, goes around to the ex
pansion valve, is cooled again, and keeps
up its work in this manner. The littje
thermometers there tell the exact temper
ature of the moat rooms, which now reg
ister 35 degrees with the room door* open
to load meat. No, sir, no danger of not
keeping those rooms cool now.”
Pointing to two huge steel shafts run
ning from the engines aft. Assistant Root
said they ran the two propellers, one be
ing on each side of the rudder. The big
engine* made from sixty to seventy
strokes a minute, every stroke sending the
powerful ship twenty-one feet. •
Chief Engineer Masden and his assist
ant* are New Yorkers, have a store of
courtesies for everybody, and In the short
time the troops were aboard had already
made many friends among the officers
and men. The other officers are Senior
First Assistant A. Rose, Junior First As
sistant Robert Risset, Senior Second As
sistant John Murphy, Junior Second As
sistant C. S. Root, Senior Third Assistant

FIFTY MILES OFF LAND’S END.
I’lie Scllly I*luml end Their Annnn
Crop* nf Daffodil* and Narel**n*.
English Letter In Country Gentleman.
Some forty or fifty miles off “Land’s
End,” England (extreme southwestern
coast), are the Scllly Islands—36s, count
ing all the rocks that show above high
tide, and as many more perhaps if you
count them when the tide Is out. I have
often heard the remark "jaws of death,”
but I never knew just how they looked
or where they were located until I saw
the Scilly islands while in an open sail
boat, trying to head from one island to
another during a storm. "Jaws of death”
they are—the sharp ragged rocks and
Islands representing tusks and fangs that
have literally masticated great ships of
wood and Iron (one is as palatable as the
other) not by the dozen or score, but by
hundreds (the guide book says “by thou
sands"). Five of the islands only are In
habited—St. Mary’s, St. Martin, Tresco,
St. Agnes and Brehar. The first men
tioned island is about 244 miles long and
144 wide. The last is only about a mile
long and half as wide.
There Is hardly a farm house or fisher

islands but exhibits relics of wreck* that

British Government erected the new light
house called “the Blshop’3 light.” wrecks
are not as frequent. The Bishop's light
Is. by the way, the first light sighted by
vessais after leaving New York for South
ampton or London, and is one of the most
powerful lights on (he British coast—it
may be seen for twenty miles at sea. But
every rock of the Scllly Islands has a
story of a wreck, and the storms of every
winter strew the shores with wreckage,
some of it over a century old. These Isl
ands no doubt mark the most extensive
marine graveyard in the world, and
“when the sea gives up its dead” there
will be hardly standing room on shore
for the thousands who have perished
there.
These little Islands, although less than
fifty miles from the mainland, enjoy a
climate weeks, and I may say months,
earlier than the mainland. January on
the Solllies Is quite the same as April In
London. A branch of the Gulf Stream,
which separates from the main stream
somewhere in midocean, taking a south
erly course, touches these islands and
transforms them from the temperate to
the semi-tropical zone. This same branch
of the Gulf Stream influences Guernsey
and Jersey in much the same way, mak
ing the stations there much earlier than
in England, only a hundred miles away.
In Sciily, spring begins at Christmas
time. They also begin cutting flowers for
market about that time or soon after, and
keep it up until the end of March. The
inhabited islands are given up almost en
tirely to growing cut flowers—daffodils
and narcissus. There are between 500 and
COO acres of these flowers on the island
of St. Mary’s alone, while nearly every
acre of available land on the other in
habited Islands Is also in flowers. Some
of the largest farmers have from 25 to
35 acres in flowers, but five to seven acres
is about the average. The (lowers are
tied in bunches of one dozen each and
packed in shipping boxes holding six doz
en bunches. One hundred and sixty of
these boxes are estimated to weigh a ton,
and 500 tons is about the yearly output.
The past season, however, has been most
unfavorable, less than half of that quan
tity being shipped.
The islands belong to the Crown, and Ihe
revenue goes, I believe, to the Prince of
Wales. Julius Smith is the present lord
proprietor or Lord Governor, as he is gen
erally called. He is not only the proprie
tor tenant of the Island of Tresco, where
he lives, but he is Governor (practically
King) of all the islands. Every one In
town and country is a tenant under the
Lord Governor. If a person wants to build
n house, he submits the plans to Mr.
Smith, who, if he feels like it, gives him
a lease of the ground the house is to
stand on for 99 years, at the end of which
time house and all become the property
of the Crown.
Of course the thing to do on arrival at
the Scillies Is to call on the Lord Governor,
providing you have or can invent an ex
cuse for doing so. He lives on the Island
of Tresco, surrounded by most beautiful
grounds, with avenues of palms and gar
dens containing trees, shrubs and ferns
collected from tropical countries. After
a chiat with his lordship, he handed us
over to the head gardener, who showed
us about the grounds, and on our return,
we were given over to Mr. Brown, the
farm manager, who showed us over 40 or
50 acres of daffodils and narcissus, con
taining all the standard varieties and
many experimental plaids of the newer
sorts. The flowers are planted in patches
that seldom exceed a third of an acre.
These patches are separated by hedges to
protect the flowers from wind storms—
the principal source of failure. The blooms
are all gathered while still in the bud, and
are carried into hot houses or a room es
pecially arranged for the purpose, where
they are set in trays or earthen pots of
water to open. As they do, boys and girls
gather them into bunches and pack them
for shipment. Every grower has his reg
ular customers; while the surplus goes
to Covent Garden, London, and Is sold
at auction. The average price is about 63
cents per dozen bunches. The mom y
spent in England daily for cut flowers is
enormus; (lowers from the Scllly Islands
alone selling for something like $300,000
annually (in three month ), while Guern
sey and Jersey supply perhaps half as
much more, (he retail price of which must
be at least half a million dollars yearly,
just for daffodils and narcissus, to say
nothing of the hundreds of acre* of roses,
etc., that England grows on her own soil.’
