The decision to build a liner of 1000 feet in length for the White Star Line has given rise to speculations in New York as to the adequacy of the present pier accommodation (states the Shipping World). Mr P. A. S. Franklin, president of the International Mercantile Marine Company, stated last year that piers 1000 feet long are rarely adequate for docking such a vessel as the Majestic, and that in view of the plans for a larger liner he would like to see the piers extended t 9 110,0 feet. The Dock Department has prepared plans for two new 1000 feet piers. With the proposed extension of the pierhead line these could be made 1100 feet long. This length could not be attained otherwise, except by digging inland, the cost of which would be practically prohibitive. Plaiis are also under way for three or four new piers of 1000 feet length in the Canal street area. The present Chelsea piers are 925 feet long, including the 100 feet temporary extensions which the War Department Is anxious to revoke. It is suggested that the completion of the proposed 1000 feet piers would not provide proper accommodation for the super-liners now projected by the other transatlantic steamship lines, British and German, while the Kavigazione Generate Italian* is reported to have plans for three new liners about 950 feet long.

FOUR MONTHS OVERDUE. Grave anxiety is felt for the safety of the auxiliary fourrmasted schooner Fides, which Is now 130 days out from Balboa on the voyage to Adelaide.
