'The Record of American and Foreign Shipping" for 1892, twenty-fourth volume, again presents improvements over the publication of previous years, and is truly a wonderful col- lection of information regarding the shipping of the world. This register, published by 'the American Shipmasters' Association of New York, has come to be interesting on the lakes during late years, on account of its classification of lake steamers for the benefit of underwriters other than those having general agencies on the lakes) Joseph R.

MILWAUKEE, Wis., Jan. 21.--Ten steamers are at present plying-across -- % Lake Michigan delivering freight, principally flour, to the eastern trum lines, and next winter there will probably be twelve. The Delaware : Lackawanna Railway Company last week established a route betweeen* Keewaunee and Frankfort with the steamer Osceola, which left Port Huron | the first week in January and succeeded in passing through the Straits without great hindrance from ice. The eastbound freight handled by the Osceola reaches the Lackawanna system at Toledo over the Toledo, Ann Arbor & Northern Michigan Railway. According to current gossip the Canadian Pacific will also compete fora sh re. of the flour trade of the west another winter. Having secured an entrance to Detroit, Grand Haven 3 will next be reached through a traffic arrangement with the Chicago & West Michigan and Detroit, Lansing & Northern zailways, and a line of steamers will then be run between Grand Haven and Milwaukee during the winter months at least. The large whaleback steamers Pillsbury and Washburn, now in course of construction at West Superior,to run between Gladstone and Buffalo, are virtually the property of the Canadian Pacific Railway Company, and unless found too large will no doubt be utilized for -- this new winterline. The information here conveyed affords a satisfactory explanation of rumors that have been afloat for several weeks concerning a proposed introduction of whaleback steamers on the Grand Haven route in the near future. The present Grand Trunk management is too slug- gish to even dream of improving its service, and it will devolve upon the Canadian Pacific to introduce an innovation that may serve as an eye- opener. Of the steamers trading out of Milwaukee just now the 'only ones at all uncertain in their movements are those of the Eastern Transit Company,which once more ply to St. Joseph after a brief and unsatisfactory trial of Grand Haven. They hardly average a round trip each a week. While en route for Buffalo in November last the steamer Thomas Da- vidson became disabled below Sand Beach, Lake: Hnron, through the loss of her shoe and a broken wheel. She was picked up by the steamer John Harper and towed to Port Huron, a distance of less than 50 miles. For this service the owners of the Harper recently preferred a claim of $5,000. An effort was made last week to reach a satisfactory settlement, but the Har- per people declined to accept less then $4,000, and expressed a willingness to submit the matter to arbitration. As between arbitration and litiga- tion Com. Wolf can see little difference in expence. Hence he proposes -- to let the claimants collect their tow bill through'the medium of the courts. This reminds the correspondent that a similar heavy claim preferred by the Ogdensburg Transit Company for service rendered to the steamer R. P. Flower by the steamer Waverly in Lake Huron was. settled not so very long ago ona proposition coming from the transit company, the owners of the Flower paying $1,000 and the claimants as- suming all costs that had been incurred through libeling the Flower. Capt. David Vance left Milwaukee on a business trip to England last Saturday. He was accompanied as far as New York by Frank L. Vance. A 'single transfer of vessel property was recorded at the Milwaukee custom office last week--the schooner Hattie Hutt, by Lewis Hutt, of Chicago, to Ole Hansen, of Mantowoc, for $4,500.. The Hutt measures 252 net tons and rates A2. Ls Machinery in Some of the Wheeler Boats. Special Correspondence to the MARINE REVIEW. il iran WEsT Bay Cry, Mich., Jan. 21.--The new steel steamer for the Hollis- ter Transportation Company,now building by the F.W.Wheeler & Co. and which is to be a companion to the Emily P. Weed, will have an engine 23, 37 and 62x44 inches, 160 revolutions per minute. 'This engine is now in the shops of the Frontier Iron Works, Detroit, and Wickes Bros. of East Saginaw are building the boilers. Worthington pumping machinery will be used throughout. The condenser pump will be nearly a duplicate of that on the Weed. The boiler feed pumps are different from any that have as yet been used on the lakes and are of the Worthington "ad- miralty pattern," such as is used on trans-Atlantic steamers of the White Star and Inman lines. 'a The steamer Ossifrage is rebuilding and being lenghtened by F. W. Wheeler & Co. She is to have a new engine, 13%,.20 and 37x24 inches, which is now being canstructed at their shops. A new Worthing- ton condenser will be used. It is worthy of note that theold Ossifrage was one of the first boats on the lakes to have a Worthin , steamer Massauga, owned by Mr. C. H. Woodruff, was the first, and im- mediately following was the steamer Mary of St. Clair river fame. The Massasauga and Ossifrage were non-condensing previous to this time-but the steamer Mary had attached air pumps that had been giving a great deal of trouble. After the change she became noted for her speed and the accuracy of her running, making almost absolute time at her different landings.
