SHE'LL BE A TERROR.
Description of the Coast Defense
Vessel for Which Bids Are
Being Received.

WASHINGTON, April 3.-Great interest
in the opening of the bids for the
armored coast defense vessel. 1t was
concluded generally that the figures
proposed (the lowest being S1.6l4, OOO)
constituted fair price for the work and
the clOseness of the bidding was re-
markable. The new vessel will be a
departure in design from any YES
sci in the navy and Capt Hichborn.
who is acting as chief of the bureau
of construction, is confident that
she will be the most formidable vessel
for her displacement of any in the world,
and able to cope with anything afloat.
She aDproXlmates the Monitor type and
is OF 5000 tons displacement in cruising
trim. When she goes into action, by
taking on water ballast, she sinks until
her deck is but sixteen inches above the
water level, thus diminishing the size
of the target exposed to an opponent.
The sides covering the machinery are
to be covered with sixteen inches of
armor, besides the protection afforded
by the coal bunkers. The barbettes
containing the guns are to be of 16-inch
steel, and the deck will be of steel two
inches thick. She will be 261 feet long,
To iOSe pSeluls 1f/2 1CCt Oldll, anu HAVE
speed of sixteen knots. At this
speed she can steam 632 miles,
but at ordinary cruising speed
about nine knots she would travel
2727 miles without renewing her coal
supply. But the most remarkable feat
ure will he the tremendous power of her
armament. In the forward barbette,
mounted on turntable and manipu-
lated by hydraulic power, she will carry
16-inch rifle, weighing 40 tons and
40 feet long, one of the largest guns
afloat. In the rear barbette there will
be 12-inch rife weighing 4615 tons.
A 15-inch dynamite gun so feet long
will project from the bow, and in other
places the vessel will carry six So
Founders, three 9-pounders. two
6-pOunders and four 3-pounders, all re-
volving cannons and rapid-fire guns.
Machine guns and electric search lights
on a hollow steel military mast will
complete the ship. which it will take
three and half years to build.

WEDNESDAY AT DULUTH.

travelling Auditor Batty, OF the
Iron Range, Is Missing---The
Pioneer Mine Has Not Changed
Hands---Fire at West Superior.
Special to the Globe
DULUTH, Mimi, April 81. ". A.
Batty, travelling auditor of the Duluth
d Iron Range, left March 8 for Mime
apolis to visit his parents. The last
trace of him was at White Bear. The
officials of the road claim that they
know of nothing wrong on his part, and
further state that ne did not draw all
his wages when he left. He NAV
have gone elsewhere to look for work,
as it is understood that he was to oc-
cupy his present position for only a
short time. He was considered faith
full emplOye by those who knew him
best, and it is very hard to account for
his disappearance. Some of the state
ments of officials of the road do not
exactly tally, and later developments
may show that they know more than
they want to tell.
1t is reported from the Vermillion
range that the famous Pioneer mine has
changed hands. Mr.. James, the largest
individual stakeholder, denies it and
says it has no foundation.
Strothman Bros iron works at West
Superior were totally consumed by fire
this evening; loss, $4,000. The flames
were first discovered in the old building
OF the electric light company.

the reapportionment bill. The measure
was not claimed to be fair or just; it
was not claimed to be in compliance

the constitutional right of the present
Legislature to pass the bill was brushed
aside, and a material victory for the
legislative interests of the Twin Cities

scored. Mr.. Keyes and Mr.. Forbes
made tedious but able arguments
against the constitutionality of the bill,
and Messrs. Stevens, Hay and Ives as
tediously and ably defended it. The
final vote was not reached until after 5
O'Clock, when the measure passed by
the following vote and was forwarded
TO the senate for action.

AN INSTANCE.

An illustration of the protective sys-

company. Its work is put above the
pauper labor of the old world by %
per cent tariff duty. 1t has lately de-
clared dividend of so per cent and
added s1,O0o,0oO to the capital stock in
order to get rid of the cash surplus.
This company can undersell foreign
competitors in their own markets, but
it Utilities the tariff to swell its enor-
nous profits. American purchasers are
fieeced simply because the tariff holds
out the opportunity, which the greedy
monopoly doesn't propose to throw
away.
