During Grant’s first term his secre- tary of the navy, Borie, for a time turned the actunal administration over to Admiral Porter. Admiral Porter was a sailor in the strict etymological sense of the term in that he believed there was nothing like sails. As soon as he was in authority he caused the four bladed propellers of the vessels to be removed and replaced by two bladed ones in order that the ships might maneuver better under sail. The inefficiency thereby brought about is, of course, apparent to any engineer, as the size of the propeller opening was fixed and the two bladed screw could not be made large enough. A few years later in a report to the department he actually claimed that the vessels were faster under steam with the mutilated screws. The facts, of course, were just the reverse, and when his influence be- came less proper propellers were again fitted. This was when he was still in his prime and his judgment was, at least, not impaired by age. About twenty years later, when the Reach cruisers were being built, the dear old man, then over seventy, went before the naval-committee and said that the plans of these vessels were wrong be- cause they had only auxiliary sail power. In his judgment they should have been given full safl power with steam as an auxiliary. He was still a saflor!

MONTANA LUMBERMEN SEGURE LOWER RATE Important Decision by Interstate Commerce Gommission. ‘Washington, May 12—Two decisions of notable importance to the railways and to the lumber interests of the Northwest were handed down by the interstate commerce commission, the complainants against the railroads be- ing victorious in each instance. Many months ago the Kalispell Lumber company and others and the Big Blackfoot Milling company and oth- ers, engaged in the lumber manufac- turing business in Montana, insti- tuted complaints against the Great Northern railway and cther lines ask- ing that they be accorded differentials on the rates established in the Spo- kane case. The differentials request- ed were an average of about 214 cents & hundred pounds. In the opinions sunnounced the commission sustains the contentions of the complainants and issued orders that the differen- tials are to be established by the rail- roads not later than Aug. 1 next. The orders have the effect of lowering the rates on all lumber and forest prod- ucts from the Montana mills both east and west and will afford them an ad- vantage of approximately 2 cents a hundred pounds over the mills in the Spokane group on eastern.shipments. The rates established are required to be maintained by the railroads for at least two years. Fatal Riot in Pennsylvania. Indiana, Pa., May 12—John F.
