MARINE REVIEW On Wednesday of this week Mr. Howard H. Baker cel- ebrated his fiftieth anniversary in the ship chandlery business. The business was established seventy years ago by W. S. Waters. It has changed hands a number of times, but its present title has stood since 1882. Mr. Baker was appointed postmaster of Buffalo by President Cleveland during the second term and conducted the office with great efficiency. Buffalo has altered in many regards since this business was established, so that the headquarters of Howard H. Baker & Co. have virtually become one of the land marks of the town. Mr. J. H. Torney has been appointed purchasing agent for the Southern Pacific Co.'s Atlantic coast steamship lines, with office at 29 Broadway, New York . Comdr. Lucien Young, who has been in charge of the ninth lighthouse district, embracing Lake Michigan and tributary waters, with headquarters at Chicago, has been relieved and will be superseded by Comdr. Perry Garth of the Buffalo XXi. The Boston boiler makers and iron ship builders met. this week and adopted a resolution urging congress to enact measures that will aid in restoring to American mechanics the building of vessels for the foreign carrying trade of the United States. The Baltimore & Ohio railroad is planning to raise the tug Cascade which sank in the lake off Lorain harbor several weeks ago in endeavoring to rescue the barges which drifted out into the lake with a flood. The Cascade is in 4o ft. of water, but is reported to be in good condition. Capt. Alex. Clark, founder of the Ship Masters' Associa- tion, is endeavoring to establish a home for ship masters. The general opinion of the old ship masters appears to be that the home should be located on the St. Clair river, if secured at all.
