Work has been pretty well resumed again on the new causeway, and the chief part of this work consists of fill- {ing in ctib-work with stone. About | tert teams of . horses are engaged in { hauling this stone from Basriefield { hill, where the rock, is now being ex- { tracted 8. arge quantities. Quite ! powerful blasts are set off from holes {that have boen (drilled "down nearly Bo : ad | thirty feet, and almost six inches in | diameter.. This method of blasting' is {loosening the stone up quite freely | and better results are being attained than by using coyottes, which was { formerly done. Not far from where the blasting is going on. the stone crusher is busily engaged preparing rock for the upper portion of the bridge, after the work of filling in below water is completed. In the meantime the pile driver form- erly used for driving: the piles through the ice, has now been adjusted to a scow,; allowing the work to progress iavorably. t Good advancement | progressing along the dredging line, ard the Fallon Bros'. deepening -ma- chine is at present helow the bridge, continuing the channel through the new passageway to meet the oné at present being traversed by :the boats going up the Rideau.

Are the Largest With One Exception in the. World--Were Turned Out at the Collingwood Shipyards Movements of Vessels Reported Along the Harbor. The two big dredges, Nos. 14 and 15, which passed throggh Kingston yesterday, bound for Sorel, Que. where they will be engaged in contract work at the mouth of the Sorel river, are credited with being the largest, with one exception, in the world, being sup- ied with forty buckets weighing 4, 0 pounds each, with a capacity of about forty vdrds at each trip. The dredges were built at the Col- lingwood shipyards, and were taken east by Capt. James Smith, well known in Kingston; who is manager of the Collingwood shipyards. The dredges are what are called the endless bucket and diggers and in ac- complishing their work the buckets make a complete revolution, deposit- ing the contents of their buskets on the scows through a lakge shute. The dredges cost $350,000 each and are magnificent pieces of machinery. The schooner George A, Marsh cleared for Oswego, to load coal for James Shortt, Portsmouth. M.T. Co's elevator: Tug Hall, from Montreal, with two light barges; tug Bartlett cleared from Port Dalhousie, with barges Ungava and Selkirk, grain laden, for MNingston; steamer Stormount passed up on Tuesday night. - Word was received here that the steamer Pueblow ran aground in La chine lake. Une of the barges of the Montreal Transportation company was used to lighten her chrgo of grain. The steamer Belleville cleared, this morning, for Montreal and intermedi ate points." The steamer Brockville cleared Picton yesterday. The government tug Scout arrived here irom Prescott this morning. The steamer Toiler passed west yes terday. The steamer Simla called at Garden Island, on her way west. for Carried Big Cargoes. The improvement in the stage of water and despatch which was won- derful, cut quite a figure in the freight market during the past sea- son. According to reports ore and coal carriers did not spend as much time in port as they did in 1912, which, of course, added to the supply of tonnage but the big increase in the capacity of the fleet was made by the improvement in the stage of water. Boats loaded deeper from the start and carried bigger cargoes than they did during the previous season. Owners and managers that figured that they loaded up pretty well with contract ore and coal before the opening found that they had a pretty fair supply of free capacity before the season was very old. It is figured that the capacity of the fleet was increased about 3,000,- 000 tons and that tonnagewould make a pretty active freight market." The boats were kept pretty busy as it was and but for the improvement in the stage of water there would have been a scarcity of tonnage. Five big steamers carried about 100,000 tons more than they did in 1912 and the increase in the largest fleet has something more than™half a million tons for the season. Big freighters carried from 400 to 900 tons more freight a trip during the past season than they did in 1912. The steamer W. P. Snyder, jr., of the Shinange fleet, loaded 12,439 tons at the head of the lakes in Aug- ust and that was the biggest cargo delivered at a Lake Erie port last season, The Snyder Jr., and the steamer J. M. Schoonmaker are duplicates and are the largest freighters on the lakes. In 1912 the Schoonmaker took her biggest cargo in Augiist and loaded 11,042 toms at the head of Lake Superior. for Lake Erie. The 1913 cargo was 497 tons greater than the biggest cargo in 1912. The difference in the coal carrying capacity of the two big freighters for the 'two seasons was much greater. Last season the Snyder took 13,850 tons af coal to Lake Superior, which was 923 tons more than the largest cargo for 1912. For the latter year the steamer Schoonmaker held the record with 12,927 tons. Both car- goes were loaded in August. The. boats of the Shenango fleet made grain cargo records. In July of wheat from Duluth to Port Me- Nichol. * On the last trip the Schoon- maker loaded 435,280 bushels of wheat at Duluth and this was the largest cargo of wheat that was ever delivered at Buffalo. The Schoon- maker loaded early in December. Several cargoes of oats of more than 500,000 bushels were carried on the lakes last season. A Freight Register Machine A new machine that has never be fore been shown in these parts will shortly be put over the Kingston sub-division of the C.P.R. A con- ductor of a freight train is supposed to pick up at each station all the freight that 'is ready until he has se cured hisscomplete tonnage. To se- cure this tommage' correctly this new machine 'is so equipped that every pound of enérgy that the engine exerts on the draw-bar is' automa- tically, registered directly opposite the space in which: the mileage is re- gistered. This register is different than a grade-register as an. engine has to work 'harder on a curved grade than on a straight even one.

TO SEE THE KING. is Lively Times Promised by Suffra- gettes on Thursday, New York, May 20.--A cdble to the Tribune from London says: Lively scenes are promised when the sufirageftes attempt to see the king on Thursday. At yesterday's meeting of the Wo- men's Social and Political Union Mrs. Mansell said that it was gding to be the biggest thing they had ever had. She thought the authorities must be trembling in their shoes, If there was going to be any militancy it would be on the other side. 'If there was any attempt at militancy on the part of the minions of the government, it would: be at their peril. Mrs. Mansell added that Mrs. Pank- hurst would be safe, hecause, like Sir Lidward Carson, she had got a body guard. Weather Notes The barometer still remains, over the eastern half of the contin- ent, but they are now some indica- tions that a shallow depression will move eastward across Northern Can- ada.
