Captains in no cases had to hustlofor business. On the contrary, they had to linstlo to keop up with tho business that was waiting to bo done. The noar approach of tho Chi sago World’s fair coutrlbntod its share to tho rush, of coarse, and it Boemod to all concerned—transportation firms and companies, shippers, captains and sail as if tlioro could bo no diminution in the rate of development of inland navigation. I luvo not tho totals of tho lako busi ness done in 1893, but thero were 10,- 35G arrivals at this port, tho freights amounting to 6,960,63G tonB. This was tho largest tonnage ever rooordod hero, though in tho earlier days of smnller vosselB tho arrivals ono yoar ran up to 13,000 and moro. Tho big business of 1803 provod a groat stimulus to vossol building, and in 1808 tho total tonnago of the lakes amounted to 1,361,000. The Future of Lako Navigation. Still Captain Dunham docs not do- spair regarding tho future development of lako navigation. Ho believes that tho general business of the country will im prove from this on, and with it, of course, tho shipping of tho lake ports. Ho has beon interested in fresh water vessels for many years, and he dolights to talk of old times, bnt it pleases him still moro to talk, of tho iatoro. “The time is coming,” ho said to me today, “whon the stoamships of tho lakes will bo almost os largo and almost ns swift as tho big liners of salt wntor. Some of onr present boats nro wonders. It would not have boon beliovod a half dozen years ago tbat such craft as aro now uumorons enough to form a consid erable fraction of tho wholo would over bobnilt and sailed hero. “Anotablo feature of lako navigation is tho dispatch with which tho work is dona Nowhoro elso aro cargoes loaded or unloaded as rapidly as here. You see, the open season is only abont eight months, and wo must bo busy every xnlnnto of that timo, or wo fall bobind. Therefore wo havo reduced the handling of grain, coal, iron oro, lumbor and packnge freight to a moro or loss exact sclenco. Oar vessels are unloaded im mediately upon tying up at tho dock, and tho work of reloading is began jnst as soon no tho last of tho incoming cargo has been taken oat For this reason, oven though onr season is short, onr freights ora lower than nny others. Quick Work on the Lakes. “A year or two ago a big grain oarry- iDgsteemor was loaded with 116,000 bushels of wheat in 80 minutes at Dn- luth, and I defy tho shippers of any ocean port to show any such reoord. Wo do not often live np to that standard, how- over. Tho loading of thiB vessel in that unprecedented timo was accomplished as a test Tho grain was put aboard from an elevator, of coarse, and ten eponte wero utilized. 'Duluth, I should explain, has tho best facilities for rapid loading and un loading of all tho lake porta from the foot that her harbor was opened lator than most of tho othors, and her docks, warehouses and olevators wero designed on moro modem linos and better ar ranged with reference to location ono with another. Twonty-flvo hundred tons of coal havo been unloaded thero from ono vessel in 14 honrs, and that Is quite as noteworthy a feat in its way ns the rapid loading of wheat of which I havo told you, but not all tho phonom enal records as to dispatch in loading and unloading havo been made at Dm luth. The C. A. Pope a year or two ago took 130,000 hushols of grain to Buffalo, 1,000 miles, in tbroo days, traveling as fast as a freight train. Ar riving in the morning, she was unload ed and reloaded with return freight tho same day and was hero in Chlesgo again in just a woek. Tho time usually conBomod for this trip, howover, is nine days Chkifo Hot m Ship Owning Fort* “Although Chicago is tho largest port on the lakes, it is not a specially strong ship owning port Cleveland leads In this respect That is because the Cleveland men were tho first to see that there was a great future in the Iron ore commeroo and hustled about and got control of it by building the boats and going into tho business. Bnt of course the iron ore trade is dead at this time. I should say it has been more depressed during the season of 1894 than the grain business or general freighting. Buffalo comes next after Cleveland as a ship owning port, and that is because the headquarters of the line boats, which are owned by the great trunk line rail- ready ar* there, , ’Sailing vessels are rapidly boing driven off the lakes these later years. You see, it takes skillful officers and first class seamen to navigate the lakes, for their waters are not like the waters of tho ocean, practioally boundless. Tbe shore is ever comparatively near at band, and there are dangers of being driven ashore suffered by sailing craft that steam vessels aro not snbject to at all. Then tho question of dispatoli, so muoh more ’ important hero, as I havo told yon, than on salt water, is driving tho sailing vessels out. Baffling winds may hold tho sailing vessel for days, while, unless tho winds are very violent indeed, they do not detain tho steamer. Tho ovolntiou of lako stoamers as to size has made tho port of Chicago al most second class in ono rospeot—that is, tho largest vessels cannot enter horo. The rivor is so shallow it will not tako vessels of a draft of more than 10 foot 8 inches, and it oaunot woll be mndo doopor, whereas tho big modom freight steamers require 18 feet of water. Then the river is too narrow to acconmiodato a great many more craft than now en ter. The difficulties in tho way of deep ening tho channel arise from tho fact that tho street railwny tunnels passing under tho river oannot bo lowered with out enormous exponso and great iucon- vonienco all ronnd. Besides new foun dations for many buildings on tho water front woald have to bo mado if thoro' wero any moro drodgiug. In ordor to widen tho channel, thero would havo to bo oxtensivo pnrohases of oxtromoly val uable property, and tho total cost of widening and dooponing wonld bo al most incalculable. Tho bigger craft, bowevor, can all outer at South Chicago, and tho harbor there is now really a part of tho port of Chioago. The Vessels end the Men, “Tho total valuo of tho property mado uso of in lako navigation is not far from $00,000,000. This includes vos- sols, docks, ota Thoro aro about 4,000 vessels all told, a smaller numbor per haps than in tho past, bnt of greater aggregate tonnage, owing to tho snpo- rior sizo of the modom vessels. Theso vessels employ abont 40,000 men, and tho docks, oto., say, abont 30,000 moro, or 60,000 altogether. Certainly theso men are all thrown ont of work on tho lake at tho close of navigation, bnt ordi nary years only a fow of thorn oro obligod to bo ldlo during tho wintor. A good many havo been in tho habit of wintering in tho lumber oamps. Others got work in tho Chioago packing honsos, whioh start up at full blast at just abont tho timo lake navigation closos. Thon many of thorn find their way to tho seaboard, especially to Now Orlomis, where thoy do tho work of stovodorcs. “Tho wages paid seamen on tho lakes are batter, as a rnlo, than on tho ocoau. As I havo said, it requires bettor soameu hero than on tho sen. Onr sailors havo to work harder, for owing to tho natnr of our waters every sailing voyago is one long succession of tacks, and ports boing made bo often thoro is tho con' stant work of going in and ont to bo dnno, whorcaB on tho sea thoro oro few tacks, and entrances and clearances como at long intervals. For this reason, too, tho men havo to bo stronger physically and of hotter personal habits. Tho ocean captain need not worry ns to tbo sobri MODERN LAKE STEAMER, oty of ills men, onoo ho can got them aboard his ship. Ho can easily sober them np there if tlioy nro drnuk when taken on, for the voyago Ib ono of many days, woeks or months unless tho vossol bo a coaster. Bnt horo tbo timo botwoou forts is short, and mon who are inollnod to drink can get tlioir liquor at overy port. I dn not mean to say that onr lnko sailors nro total nbstaluors. Heaven knows thoy drink enough, bnt thoy must bo in oonditiou to work hard and con' tinnnliy. or thoy can’t got work, nnd for this reason thoy do not drink themselves blind tho moment thoy get ashore, should add that tho lako sailors havo to work at tbo loading nnd nnloading, which is not true of tho Halt water tar. All things considered, I think thb fresh water saltismnch the hotter man of the two. A BeAlnlMenee or Two. “In 1864 nonrly evorything on the lakos was propollod by sails. In 1868 thero was a spurt at steamboat bull (ling, but tho shallowness of tbo ports, fow of which had yot been drodgod, mndo steamboating unprofitable, and sails soon got baok their supremacy. By tho timo the war broko ont steam had forged to the front again, bnt it was in tho form of tug towing principally. As Into as 1870, howover, largo sailing vossolg wore profitable. After thorn camo steam barges and consorts, then big steamers. Today 3,000 ton vessels can bo loaded and unloaded with greater dispatoh than vessols of 600 tons formerly and oper ated almost as cheaply. “Tho days of wooden construction havo gono by on tho lakos, as on tho ocean, and co have tho days of slmplo engines Compound maohlnos camo in kero almost as early as thoy did thoro, and triple expansion is now tho almost universal practice. Quadruple engines, howover, havo not yet beon bniltto any extent for lake vessels. In tho matter of speed wo are behind the fastest ocean passenger boats, bat we have steamers that can mako 17 to 18 miles—not knots —an hour all right. Wo have a good deal of faith in thowhaleback boats, and tho big vessel of that typo that was used for World’s fair visitors in 1803, now plying between here and Milwau' koo in tho passenger service, makes 17 miles an hoar on nearly every trip," M.

Dee. I -The Hunt multi- charge gun, aa anticipated by naval ord nance officers, haa proven a failure and no further experiments with It will bo made. At Indian Head today two shore ware fired from the gun, the first with 188 pounds of powder, divided into two charges, giving a velocity of 2.318 feet and developing about fifteen tons pres sure. The second Hurst cartridge con tained 133 pounds of powder and produced A3S6 feet velocity.
