WAsHINGTON, D.C., Aug. 25.--In a few days the treasury department will advertise for pr Porc for the construction of a new revenue cutter for the Baltimore station. The plans, which have been completed, show that she will be the finest craft ever built for the revenue service. In drawing up the plans for the vessel the probability of the early transfer of the revenue marine service to the navy has been kept in view and special attention has been given } s to getting up a vessel that will be useful in time of war, She will be, in fact, 2 miniature naval vessel, carrying a battery of 6-pounder Hotchkiss rapid-fire guns and being well supplied with small arms. She will have a length of 170 feet 8 inches over all and 160 feet on the load water line. Her breadth is to be 27 feet molded, and depth of hold 13 feet 5 inches. Her draft is to be 6 feet 6 inches, with fifty tons of coal in her bunkers. The displacement is to be 412 tons. The hull is to be ofiron. She will carry ordinarily a crew of _ forty men and eight officers, but she will have accommodations for sixty men in case it is desirable to increase her complement to that number. In addi- tion to the cabin for the captain there will be a ward room with eight state rooms opening off it for the subordinate officers. The boat will be rigged as a two-masted schooner. She will be driven by twin screws and will have a maximum speed of about 14 knots an hour. From Various Sources. The tug Brady, owned by Henry McMoran of Port Huron, burned Wednesday morning and isa total loss. She was valued 7 at $12,000. 'The crew escaped. Just $46,750 a year for ten years is the price to be paid by the Inman line for a dock 718 feet long and 125 feet wide in New York, foot of Vesey street, North river. A marine draughtsman in one of the prominent ship and engine building establishments on the Clyde has patented a new style of water-tight bulkheads. 'The idea is to build the bulk- heads on the corrugated system, so dispensing with all angle- iron shifting-bars, the curved formof the plates giving the neces- sary resistance. 'These corrugations should either be U shaped or V shaped, as required, and it is claimed that the weight will be 15 per cent. less than the ordinary system of construction, and 50 per cent. stronger, without increased cost.
