The Pittsburg Steamship Co. has established: schools at - Cleveland, Conneaut and Marine City under the supervision of Capt. J. M. Fields for the instruction of the masters of its vessels in lake navigation generally and with special reference to the working of the compass, its error and cor- rection. The company has fitted up two rooms: in, the Rockefeller building to resemble an ordinary school room and has equipped the rooms with all instruments needful to the course of instruction intended. In fact, one of the rooms | in the equipment reminds one very much of the deck of a ship. Capt. Fields will be assisted in his work at Cleveland by Mr. P. J. Becker. He will also have the assistance of a committee of captains, consisting of John Lowe, S.C. Allen, J. La Fram- boise and John Noble: At Conneaut, where he will visit on Fri- days, he will be assisted by Capt. A. R, Robinson and Capt. C. J. Grant and at Marine City, where he will visit on Saturdays, he will be assisted by Capt. Hugh Reagan and Capt. T. J. Cullen. Capt. Myers Chamberlain and Capt. F, Hoffman, both of St. Clair, and Capt. John Burns, of Port Huron, will also assist in the school at Marine City. It is interesting to note that a part of the work will include the use of the lead line which gives rise to the observation as to whether the constant use of the lead would not have prevented some of the dis- asters of last fall. The Cleveland school opened on Monday of the present week. The first course will be nautical arith- metic. This will be followed with instruction in correcting. courses from true to magnetic and vice versa. Working a day's work will follow. Instruction will be given in the use of the azimuth tables as well as a thorough knowledge of Field's compass corrector by the sun, moon and-stars,-In- structions will be given in deviation by a distant object and deviation by reciprocal bearings. General instructions will also be given in chart work. Hs Capt. Fields has fitted up the rooms with every possible de- ~ vice to aid the masters and the working library is unusually complete. This school will continue until the opening. 'ot navigation and instruction will be free. eS MINNETONKA AND MINNEWASKA SOLD, The American Ship Building Co. has sold the steel ey ers Minnetonka and Minnewaska to Jerome & Hill of San Francisco. The vessels will be taken to Newport News and converted into oil steamers before they leave for the Pa- cific. These steamers were built by the American Ship Building Co. at its Cleveland yard for. salt water service. They were towed in sections through the , , Canadian canals and put together at Quebec. They are 450 ft. over all, 430 ft. keel, 43 ft. beam and 35 ft..deep and are equipped with triple expansion engines and Scotch boilers. The steamers were owned by the American Navigation Co. and each one made a trip around the Horn to the Pacific coast. Conditions in the over- sea trade, however, were such that they could not be operated at a ' profit and. for two years they lay at their moorings in Brooklyn. The steamers were bid in by. the American. Ship Building Co. about a year ago. They cost. about $450,000 each to build but the price at whieh they were sold is not given out.

At the annual meeting of the Grand Lodge of the Ship- masters' Association held in Buffalo this week, the following resolution was adopted: "Resolved, that owing to the numerous collisions with loss of life and property occurring . in the St. Clair and Detroit rivers, we earnestly recommend : that rules similar to those now in use on St. Mary's river be put in force and made obligatory on all vessels using the dredge channels of said waters." -- There is building at Bishop's yard, Gloucester, Mass. from designs by McManus, of Boston, a schooner yacht for Mr. L. J. Callanan, of New York. She will be 85 ft. over an and 62 ft. on the water line.
