FAULTY SHIP PLANS.
The mistakes IN the plans of tn


great wsrship Texas" are part
Of tie penalty which oui
country is paying for utterly neglect
ing its ships and ship yards for
nearly twenty years. In those
twenty years the whole character oi
war ships was changed, and al the
time Congress refused appropria-
tons for one first-c!ass vessel and
refused all encouragement to
American shipping which had the
effect to cause private shi? builders
to keep In rediness only for orders
for light merchant ships. So when
at last the Government was awak-
ened and determined to begin the
work OF building at least a nucleus
of a navy, our own ship designers
were taken back and a foreign com
pany obtained tho rewards for
plans. Now tho company selling
the plans is forced to write to our
Government that one of the great
ships is finished according to plans,
would sink the moment it was
launched. 1t is believed, too, that
every other foreign plan is most
faulty; that such a ship as the
yorktown" Tor instance, while
behaving beautifully on her
trial trips, will, when loaded
with her batteries and stores, out
roll planet out in space. The
first trials of the "Charleston" de-
vsloped a mum Der of faults, not due
to construction, but to faulty plans
and a report from England says an
English ship built on the same
plans had the same defects. The
truth is. it is little better than
wicked to go abroad for plans for
ships. Up to 1860 the American
designers always excelled all rivals,
in the speed and grsceiulness of
their designs. OF course our old
clipper ships had no rivals. When
Collins put on his first four steamers
they excelled anything known up
to that time. Then the Gunards
built the PERSIA" to beat the
world. Then Collins built the
"Adriatic't to beat the Persia"
and succeeded, and Vanderbuilt
built his "Vanderbuilt" to beat
both and succeeded. Indeed the
was the finest ship
of the old school that ever was
launched. But then the subsidies
were taken from the American At
lantIc steamers, and a year and
half later came the war. In the
meantime, England had seized upon
the American invention OF the COM
pound Marine engine, which our ex-
perts had reported against, and In
ships iron was substituted tor wood,
so when the war was oyer a new
style Of ship altogether had bsen
adopted. Instead of at once begin
n ns to make mp lost ground, all |
efbrts in that direction were stoljdly |
voted down and it was not until |
1854 that anything respectable was
tried. There WAS twenty years lost |
and our slip5uildsrs had not facili
ties for making one heavy casting,
all the experience that foreign
builders had accum ulated in twenty
years had been lost to them; then
Secretary Whitney had a leaning
towards British plans any way, and
rejected American plans that may
have been good, to accept English
plan. which the designsrs3 now ad-
init are worthless. 1t is a costly
lesson but it should be useful and
the Same mistakes should not be
permitted to happen again.-Salt

RANGE STOCK QUESTION.
The Owner of Ranches il New Mexico,
Texas and Old Mexico Hints at
Congressional Action.

SAN ANTONIO, Nov. l5-Mr. e. W
White, of Waco, one Of the most exten.
sive dealers and best informed men in
Texas on the cattle business, has been
interviewed concerning the status of the
cattle business. Mr.. White has large and
valuable interests in this line, owning
three extensive ranches, one located in
old Mexico, one in New Mexico and one
in Texas. Regarding the cattle business,
said Mr.. White, it is perplexing, and has
caused so much disaster in the last few
years, that one who knows touches the
subject with fear and trembling, and that
it is yet and may be some time to come
difficult subject to prognostcate none
can question.
All signs for q bright and better day
when we think we see a sure and unfail-
ing sign of prosperity to the stock men,
we are afraid to mention it for fear of
failure. l never have been more i'm
pressed with the outlook for prosperity,
broadcast and far reaching, and to my
mind it can not fail us this time. That the
Big Four has done us much harm all be-
lleve, and that any Of us would have done
the same as they have done all know.
| am informed by Senator Coke that
their actions and connection with rail-
way syndicates and trusts will undergo
a most thorough investigation at the next
meeting of congress, and have no doubt
that law will be passed preventing one
firm or set of men from manipulating the
meat product of whole country in all
its details as manufacturer, packer or
1resser and retailer.
When this carbunce is removed from
is present kingly position the supply and
lemand will take care OF the balance, as
lnder a healthy state of affairs the latter
would not equal the former. Now, as 60
Der cent of the cattle now on the market
his year are female stock, makes business
healthy, and the female stock would be
eft for breeding purposes, thereby cutting
lown the daily receipts in Kansas City
md Chicago to much less number than
he daily requirements OF the packers and
ressers, thus increasing the prices,

President Diaz's ambition.

CRY OF Mexico, Nov. 15.-Gen. Bar
runda, Guatemala exile residing here,
is receiving assistance from the Mexican
government, with view to fomenting a
revolution in his native country. This is
in brief the substance of what is being
talked in whispers just atpresent in semi
official circles. 1t is further asserted that
money has been furnished for the pur-
chase, at New York, OF a quantity OF arms
for use in the revolutionary movement.
1t will be recalled that Gen. Barrunda's s
newspaper organ here, the Ell Pabcllon
Nacional, has had much to say of an in
surrection in Guatemala. The proposed
move in Guatemala is only the first step,
according to the same authority, in a great
movement which has for its ultimate OBJ
ject the union of all Central American
states with the republic of Mexico. The
ambition of Gen. Diaz, it is said, is to he
come the president or dictator of all that
lies between the Rio Grande and the
isthmus of Panama,

coin. 1t it takes half a million the doctor
says the sum will not daze him, as his
check is ready for any amount for the
animal.

Merchants and others are hereby re-
minded that the New MEXICAN is pre-
pared to do their printing on short notice
and at reasonable rates. Much of the Job
printing now going out of town should
come to the New MEXICAN Office. There
in no better excuse for sending out Of

chants should consider these things, The
New MEXICAN is acknowledged the lead
ing paper Of this section. The patronage
of the people will enable us to keep it so.

Delegates are pouring in and it is novel
ty to see people of all politics working
hand in hand on one particular question.

alike of Republicans, Democrats and
Prohibitionists.
The fact that the people OF st. Louis
saw fit to take the initiative in this move
has worked to its good in the resolutions
which were adopted to-day, favorng that
place for the worlds fair. Another reso-
luton adopted recommends congress to
provide for the coinage OF at least $4 O0O,-
900 of silver each month.
Judge Symes and several other gentle
men have made eloquent'speeches. 1t is
not likely the convention will conclude its
labors before tomorrow night.

1t is q very rare bird; only one is

The old Arabs keep the record and know
just when 1t will appear.
There was about fifty thousand people
gathered TO see the show. Great cara
vans of camels and dromedaries and
elephants; 1t was a regular hippodrome
on the day it was to appear. every one
was quiet and all looked steadily at the
top OF the mountain near which all this
great body OF people were collected.
just at high noon the tocsin sounded,
drums beat, canon fired, everybody
shouted, the animals screamed AMI
brayed and there was a devil Of a noise.
All of sudden up popped the PheniI.

was so bright that we had to use smoked
glass to look at it. Finally it laid an
egg and then il seemed to blaze all up

The recurring Anniversary Of our ma.
tioDaI independence makes it necessary
for US to again remind agents Of fire in
surance Companies, as well as the gen.
eral public, of the great danger which,
will always attend the use of fire-craCk-
era and fireworks, and OF the imperetivs
importance OF adopting precautionary
measures to prevent fires in all places
where the use of these dangerous ex-
plosiVes is permitted
We call upon agents in the cities and
towns Immediately to take steps to as
certain, by actual trial, that their fire
departments, fire engines, hose and
water supply are in condition for prompt
and effective use. Petitions should be
presented to the proper authorities, 10
rigidly enforce existing regulations or
the subject and where necessary, ADOPT
such additional safeguards and precau-
tions as will be likely to prove most ef-
fective in ayertinE peril to insurance
capital, and needless destruction OF
property.
The citizens at large should be re-
quested to have hose attached to fau-
Gets on their own premises. as we'll as
barrels and buckets filled with water, in
readiness TO. extinguish iucipient fires.
If the latter precaution is taken by ev-
cry householder or storekeeper, the dan
ger OF n serious fire will be greatly les
sened.
Let no agent rely upon some other
agent or agents to do this work, but
take immediate steps for united action
