moulded to upper deck and she capable of carrying about 10900 tons deadweight on about 28ft 4in draft This vessel is now practically ready and thorn seems no doubt that the Cunard Company are going to secure sufficient steamers carry on a more frequent service and offer ing very much greater facilities than dotha Carpathia and Aurania Some weeks ago a statement was made but was said to be without foundation that the Canadian Pacific Railway had decided to transfer their Atlantic steamship Continental passenger traffic from Liverpool to Antwerp It is now however aufchoriia-tively stated that this is to be the casv under an arrangement entered into with the Continental steamship lines and that the London vessels of tbe CPR and not those plying from the Mersey will call at Antwerp for passengers and freight No doubt the CPR have very good reasons for taking this step but the result will be a loss to this port and country for in 1 bo season on an average probably some 500 emigrants travelled from the Continent via Grimsby to Liverpool to embark on 1 he Canadian steamers On the other hand however more British emigrants may be secured bv the CPR Liverpool steamers by reason of the fact that no Continental emigrants will be carried The already fine fleet of tbe Nelson Lind (Messrs and Nelson) which has been built up so rapidly has received another addition this week This is tbo Highland Watch which has been constructed by Messrs Russell and Co Port Glasgow and is the first of three large frozen moafi carriers for the same owners The other) two are to bo named the Highland Harris and Highland Heather and no doubt they will be of similar dimensions to the ona just placed iu the water vis 390ft iw length and capable of carrying 7250 tens With the addition of hese three steamers the fleet will consist of 14 first -class craft which are engaged in the River Plate trade It is understood tliat two vessels havA been contracted for by Liverpool owners with Messrs Pickersgill and Sous Sunderland One is for the Lancashire Shipping Company Limited (Messrs Jamest Chambers and Co) Liverpool is to have a deadweight capacity of about 7000 tons and is to be delivered in the autumn ami tbe other is for Messrs Ferine and Sons Liverpool and is to be of large dimensions There lias been launched by Messrs Chas Connell and Co Limited Scotstouu a steamer named the Sbahzada for tha Asiatic Steam Navigation Company Liver pool and Calcutta She measures 300ft ns length by 40ft "in in breadth and 24ft Oin depth (moulded) and will carry 3200 tons deadweight on a moderate draft Thera has also been placed in the water for Messrs William Johnston and Co Limited Liverpool bv Messrs Richardson Duck and Co Stockton the steel steamer Arranmore of 3050 tons gross and measuring 360ft by 45ft by 26 2-3ft Now that Parliament has reassembled attention is being more markedly directed to the Bill being promoted by the Mersey Docks aud Harbour Board whereby it is proposed to alter the basis of charging duet from net register to 50 per cent of the gros tonnage As previously mentioned in this column there is every indication that there will be even greater opposition to the proposal when tne Bill comes to be considered by Parliament han when the previous Bill was subsequently withdrawn was introduced At the present time it is understood that a petition is being drawn up by Liverpool Shipowners for presentation to Parliament on the matter Not only in this port but in every port throughout the country the result of the struggle will be eagerly awaited for there is little doubt that if anything is granted to Liverpool it will be demanded by other ports Most valuable is the work performed by the Shipwrecked Fishermen and Royal Benevolent Society of which Mr Hanmcr of the Home Liverpool and Mrs Kirkham New Brighton are the local honorary representatives while the patrons include Sir Alfred Jones KCMG and Mr Danton Nearly 40000 fishermen and sailors are enrolled as members of tbe institution which through its 1000 honorary representatives located in all ports fishing towns Ac care for feed clothe and send home shipwrecked men seek out and succour widows and orphans of men lost at sea and at assist distressed seafarers Members or those dependent on them are also in addition entitled to other substantial benefits balance-sheet recently issued bv the Liverpool auxiliary for last year is highly satisfactory The honorary subscriptions donations totalled £578 and payment of fishermen and mariners £117 while £40 was the amount of relief returned bv consuls and there was remitted from central office for committee awards for relief £297 making the receipts in the aggregate £1033 odd On tbo other side there is £588 disbursed for relief (not including rail fares) living £444 tor be remitted to the central office The wreck of tbe Kenmore seems to have realised a good price she having just been disposed of for £757 This is no doubt due to tbe presence of Captain Bachelor of the Liverpool Salvage Association who was despatched to Camella where the vessel went ashore for the purpose of making the most of the wreck Messrs Keilocks offered by auction this week at the Baltic Mercantile andSbippiog Exchange the steel steamer Provan 3925 tons gross built last year and at present lying at New York Bidding commenced at £25000 aud

OVERCOME BY FUMES An alarming discovery wae made yesterday forenoon on board a steamtug lying in No 1 Canada Branch Dock Liverpool when three members of tbe crew were found in an unconscious condition in the cabin where they had been sleeping The men were immediately brought up on deck and without delay taken to the Northern Hospital There it was seen that one of them had died and the others were overcome with gas fumes The circumstances are very simple The tug Edengarth belonging to Messrs Rea and Son ooaJownere of Preeson's row waa stationed in the Canada Branch Dock for the purpose of towing flats across the river The three men whose names are Sampson Davies Henry Monaghan and Benjamin Bryant were part of the crew of tbe tug aud it was their cuatom to sleep aboard the craft In the cabin where they spent Wednesday evening a stove was burning and doubtless they fell asleep whilst the firq was still alight Early yesterday morning the captain arrived on the scene and not seeing any of his men about he shouted He received no reply and at once went bekrw to the cabin and was startled to find the threo men lying in an un-eon-cions condition He noticed that the room which is very smaij wa full of gas fume and was stifling to enter Beoogrnsing the serious condition of affairs the captain got tho asitr ance-of several polioe officers and the three men were brought up on deck Artificial respiration was resorted to and Monaghan and Bryant recovered but Davies could not be revived The two first named on being medically treated at the hospital continued to improve and gave indications of a complete recovery LIVERPOOL BANKRUPTCY COURT At the weekly sitting of this Court yesterday for public examinations the only matter listed was that of John Bowman Caps tick milk dealer and farmer of Cateacre The Official Receiver said the bankrupt had tiled the account ordered at the previous sitting aud he bad now no questions to put to tbe bankrupt Mr A Ogden Taylor applied for the closing of the public examination and Mr Registrar Cooper made an order closing the examination accordingly BLINDNESS is a terrible calamity too treat ior exaggeration There is an old saying that

annual general meeting of the West African Trade Association waa held on Wednesday at No 10 Water-street Liverpool the president (Mr George Miller) occupying the chair In moving the adoption of tho report for tho past year Mr Miller said that the association waa primarily organised for tbo development of trade and for dealing with trade matters which wero either restrictive or oppressive The association represented the bulk of the trading community and the funds wore satisfactory there being a balance on the right side In the oourse of tho past year the executive had dealt with a great variety of interests They had urged upon the Government and Grown agents that all contracts in regard to West African railways should be made by open tender instead of as in the past being given preferentially to one firm and they had strongly recommended that all machinery for agricultural purposes and building material for native houses should be admitted free of duty River transport was a matter that was earnestly being considered by the Government and the association had repeatedly recommended the authorities to spend more money in opening up he creeks and wafer ways thereby insuring facility for natives and others to go further into tho hinterlands As regards the Government running flotillas on African rivers for the convenience of trade the chairman said that would involve large speculative expenditure or large subsidies which would necessitate increased Imperial grants and that in his opinion could hardly be justified while private enterprise might do the work if properly approached and encouraged Sanitation and health in West Africa had been kept steadily before the executive and the influence of the association had been given to measures calculated to improve health Banking facilities have been provided throughout the whole of British West Africa and the association had enoouxaged the development thereof and hoped that restrictions imposed in regard to tho free importation of Bilver might soon be removed Mr Stanley Rogerson seconded the resolution and tho report was adopted Tbo three retiring members of the committee were on the motion of Mr John Holt seconded by Mr Welsh reelected Mr George Miller was re-elected president Mr Stanley Rogersou vice-president aud Mr John Holt honorary treasurer CLAIM SEQUEL TO A JEWEL ROBBERY Before Phillimore and a common jury in tho Bench Division yesterday William Kemp sued Mr Henry Williamson to recover £99 8s bd realised by tho sale by the police of jewellery consisting of 15 gold watches 37 silver watches six gold chains two silver chains twelve diamond rings and seven boxes of insides of watches Mr Tamil in opening the case said that the action was brought under an Act of 1897 and was really an appeal from a decision of the stipendiary magistrate The plajntiff in 1892 was sentenced to ten penal servitude for receiving stolen property It appeared tliat in July 1892 there was an extensive robbery of jewellery A brougham or trap with about £4000 worth of jewellery left outside a public house disappeared The plaintiff attended auction sales and bought watches On the 19th Septemlier plazntiff was arrested and in his possession wero found pawn tickets and a watch In all eight watcls-s were traced to the possession of Kemp which bad been stolen tho previous July Plaintiff and a man named Neale were charged and sentenced to ten and seven years' penal servitude respectively fn October 1903 plaintiff applied to a magistrate for tho return of certain property which was detained by the police and afterwards sold by them Mr Williamson who was the prosecutor appeared to show cause against the appii cation The magistrate ordered tliat £30 should be- handed to tho plaintiff but that £99 odd which formed the subject matter of this action was the properly of Mr Williamson Plaintiff however said the £99 was realised by the sale of property belonging to him aud which lio had acquired in tire ordinary course of his bugi ness Tho jury found for the defendant and judgment was entered accordingly with costs No Moa Mjedicih ok Expinse fob Invalids and Du Hkalth-kxstoring Rbvalenta Arabics Food
