the skipper, William Cluett, was killed, members of the crew gave evidence that the boatswain of the coastguard cut- ter, Karl Schmidt, sat in the cabin of the Josephine K after the capture and became intoxi-
ale by drinking cated
and whiskey.
Two witnesses expressed the sober belief that Schmidt was when he boarded the prize, thus inferring that he was sober when he shelled the rumboat, but a third witness expressed the belief that Schmidt was drunk when he fired the shots. All agreed that after coming aboard the rumboat he consumed several bottles of ale and drank some whiskey, and thut before he departed he was well under the influence of liquor. The testimony of the Josephine Mrs. Pearson, Mrs. L. Buchanan, K's crew was introduced at the Miss M. K. Moreton, Miss V. A. request of Mr. Campbell, the Thorn, Y. Shimidzu, T. Shimidzu.

THE CITY PREFIX.
ROOSEVELT'S DECISION TO RENAME SHIPS.
The decision of Roosevelt's new Baltimore Mail Steamship Company to re-name the steamers which it has purchased from the Shipping Board with the prefix City City of Baltimore, City of Norfolk, City of Le Havre, City of Hamburg, and City of Newport News-is very in- teresting, for this prefix, besides being а favourite оле since the early days vigation,
of steam па- 3880-
is particularly ciated with
n number of inter- eating companies, and also with pre- vious American Atlantic enterprise, says the Journal of Commerce.
In addition to being the system adopted by the Ellerman group it is that of one of the best-known American coasting companies, and in the old days, of course, was the distinction of the Inman Line, whose capital for many years was owned almost entirely by the States. of Baltimore as They had a City well on their list, but their best known were such ships as the City of New York, City of Paris, City of Berlin, and City of Boston.
When the Inman Line ceased to exist and the American Line took over their assets and flect the prefix City was dropped, and the City of New York and City of Paris became the New York and Paris, later Philadelphia, but the memory of the old names remained with those interested in the Western Ocean, and by adopting this system the new company, even if it risks con- fusion with ships under other flags, aueceeds to a legacy of interest that | can be very valuable in the passen. ger business, while the fact that ore of the ships is to be the City of Le Havre settles the question of the new company's Channel port of call.
