engines are to be Of the type known as vertical
inverted cylinder, direct acting. triple expan-
sion. with a piston stroke OF ~ inches. Ii Is
estimated that all of the ships engines, Includ-
ing those for propelling and pumping. will de-
velop about 10000 indicated horse power, with
the main engines making about 129 revolutions
a minute. There will be six double-ended main
boilers and two auxiliares. the former about ~
feet long and Is feet in diameter, and the latter
81 feet long and 10 feet in diameter.
SPEED.
The vessel will carry $50 tons OF coal, and is
expected to make a speed of 20 knots an hour
for four consecutive hours on her trial trip,
and for every quarter knot above that speed
her builders will receive premium of $50, 900.
with an equal penalty for each quarter knot in
deficiency. There should be no difficulty for
the contractors TO earn n premium OF from one
to three hundred thousand dollars, for the ship
is to have engine power enough to give her a
speed almost equal to that of the dynamite
cruiser.
The contract for this great man of war was
awarded by Secretary Tracy, after several days
of thought. to the Cramps of Philadelphia. the
same irm that built the Baltimore, Philadel-
phia. Newark, Yorktown and Yesuvius The

for the vessel was 50, 500, 900. She is TO be COM

lines are drawn with view to giving her a
rate of speed which, in so large vessel. will
be something almost marvellous. 1t has been
said that this vessel will, when completed. DE
the model naval cruiser OF the world. and her
success or failure, with the chances greatly in
favor of the former, will be watched with in
tense interest, not only here. but IN other
countries where the building of navies has
been matter of more than ten or twenty
years. The vessel will be $50 feet long on her
water line, her breadth will be "a feet and she
will draw a feet of water. As compared with
the Maine, the only vesse! at all like her under
way or contemplated, she will be longer, with
the same beam, thus giving her sharper lines
and, IN consequence, more chance for speed.
HER BATTERIES.
She will be like the Baltimore in not having
any of the rigging usually seen on ships,
being provided with two military masts
for battery purposes. The main battery will
consist Of six eight-inch and twelve four inch
rifles, of the breech-loading variety great guns
that will send enormous pieces of metal filled
with explosives to a distance of five or six
miles. Four Of the largest guns will be mounted
IN revolving turrets in the bow and stern, after
the fashion of the Puritan, aud two on the
sides. The secondary battery will comprise
four slx-pOunder. four fOur-inch and four one
FOUNDER rapid-tre guns and four 37-mIlli-
meter revolving cannon. The eight-inch guns
are To be protected from the fire of the enemy
by armor at least ten inches thick around the
carriages, platforms and loading positions. and
by heavy shield or turret not less than seven
inches thick over the guns themselves. The
four-inch guns will be surrounded by four
inches Of armOr on the face of the ship.
HEAVY PROTECTIVE DICK.
The main feature of the vessel is the heavy
protective deck to be worked into the ship from
end to end made of thick steel, and completely

cable by raising the bridge; that depression OF
the tracks and bridging would of course still
be practicable.
The depression plans affect only a small por-
ton of the route through the city, leaving the
wide stretch of land west of Az street for sur
face side tracks and freight tracks in the
natural place for the expansion of the road 8

short distance where the tracks were depressed
side tracks would of course have TO be de-
pressed also and run into the Easements of
business houses desiring them.
Neither depression nor an elevation of the
tracks for a short distance on Maryland and
Virginia avenues would work such removal
of grade crossings as that proposed by the
project of compelling the road to run elevated
tracks much nearer the river and over pur-
chased property. But if Congress. being tested.

sion plan presents itself as Offering the least

valuable in such work as the capturing of
prizes or the destroying of hostile fleets of

the heavy shot of the great battle ships of the
English, French or Russian navies, in case she
got within their ranges.
THE PLANS
for this vessel were drawn up at the Navy De-
partment after months Of thought and study
and are supposed to be very nearly perfect.
Her armament and armor as well as her en-
gines are the result of scientific applications of
the best principles OF ship building, and her

was fixed upon by the Secretary in order that
the vessel might be completed in time to be

time to take part in the great naval display
which is being planned for that time.

vessel. and the contractors will earn the same

ECONOMIC FRENCH WOMEN.
France Is Not Devoid OF Noble Wives
and Mothers.
From Leisure Hour.

FROM Leisure Hour
multitude OF observers have noticed vast
difference in character between the French
man and French woman. So little does this
difference appear to be related to the common
distinctions of sex that il has often been said
that In France the woman is the man and the
man the woman. Making allowance for alb
surd exaggeration, there is something TO sup
port the paradox. 1t is the disposition of the
average French woman to take life much more
seriously than the average Frenchman; 10 real
ize and accept Its obligations and duties in a
nobler spirit of self-sacrifce and courageous
endeavor. Women of perverse nature and
whom society has spoiled still represent but a
small minority OF their sex IN France. The
majority, Of whom the world knows very little
and cares to know little, because they
belong to the humdrum level of hui
mainly, are endowed with admirable
qualities for fighting the battle of life As
married women they fight this battle so well
that in numberless instances their clear
slghtedness. economy and energy have saved
their families from ruin. Their capacity for
business and every kind of industry suited TO
their physical strength has without doubt
caused great deal to be expected of them
which they might have escaped had they been
otherwise constituted. Thus the wives of
small tradesmen very frequently do ali the
bookkeeplng in addition to their household
duties; the wives Of peasants work in the fields
from sunrise to nightfall, and the wife of a
mechanic or town laborer is expected to bring
nearly as much money as himself TO the house
by dressmaking, artificial-fower making.
charing or some other occupation. But this is
not all. 1t is upon his wife that the town
workman relies when he is out of employment
With all women solicitude for their children is
the great incentive to exertion. The Partisan
workman often profits by this law of nature,
and he would probably be worse off if he had
no family. 1t is no rare thing for French
beggar to urge as a reason for helping HIM that
he has no wife to rely upon when he is out of

Hard to Collect a Chinese Debt

The Sing Chong Company of Shanghai.
China, has had bad luck in trying to get its
rights in American courts. Yung Wing, who
married and has resided in New Haven for
many years, is Yale graduate and for some
time was in control of the Chinese educational
school maintained there by the home govern
ment
When visiting China, years ago. he bor-
rowed 900 from the Sing Chong Company,
which he has never repaid. The company s
first proceeding was to attach the Chinese
school building, under the impression that it
belonged to Iung Wing; but when the Chinese
ofhciais heard of it they gave the company a
severe lesson by filming them $50, 900 for inter
ferlng with property of the government
Inc next move was against Yung Wing per-
onally and the case reached a hearing in the
uperior court today. The plaintiff relied on
documentary evidence and exhibits In the
Chlnese language. The defense protested that
the evidence was not admissible. and after
hearing the arguments Judge Tbayer threw it
out and gave judgment in favor of Yung Wing.
The case has so far cost the Sing Chong Com
pany not less than 500 OOO

FROM the chicago Herald.
Senator Farwell had little joke put on him
not long ago, and, though it cost him 81 bill,
he smiled grimly and took it all in good part.
The Senator has for years employed a certain
jeweler to clean and repair his watch when it
needs attention. His name is Hoefner and the
Senator has the fullest confidence in him The
Senator some time ago took his watch TO Hoef-
ner and was told to leave it for a few days. He
did so, and when he went for il and asked the
expense he was told the bill was IS. He paid

was something wrong with il again Again he
