THE MAINE LAUNCHED.
Americas New Battle Ship Glides
Gracefully Into the Water.

Americas New Battle Ship Gltdes
Gracefully Into the Water.
The United States armored cruiser Mains
was launched at the Navy Yard, Brooklyn,
New York, in the presence Of Secretary
Tracy, E1-secretary Whitney and about
thirty thousand other citizens.
It had been announced that the launch
would take place at high tide. which was
booked to occur at the Navy Yard at 12:4
o'clock. The minutes dragged slowly as the
crowd gazad at the dull red hull.
All being in readiness gang Of men at
tackled the sole piece with cross cut saw.
The long steel saw sank rapidly into the
tough oak, but it had not cut half
through before the timber began to
yield Then, with a sharp crack it
broke, and the Maine was freed
At that moment Miss Alice Wilmerding, the
granddaughter of Secretary Tracy who had
been holding a bottle Of wine in her hand,
broke the bottle over ,he point Of the ram,
saving I'm the name o, Father Neptune and
Queen Amphitrite I christen thee Maine"
Then the great ship began to slowly
move down the ways. Gathering mo-
mentum as she went, she entered the
water, driving a great wave before
her, and, sliding downward until like
h,
provised billows made her way directly
across the river. The flags on board were
hastily hoisted as men and women shouted
and cheered. The launch was in every re-
spect successful, and there was not hitch
nor an accident Of any kind.
The tugs in waiting steamed up and caught
the cables hanging from the deck. Making
them fast, they checked the impetus Of tho
great hull and then towed her to the dock
where her armor will be girded on and the
engin.s received 1t will probably be year
before this work is finished, and she will then
have cost s., 900, 600.
The Maine is a twin -turret ship Of the
belted-cruiser type. The interior, including
the engines, the gun machinery, the coal
and the quarters of the men, is protected
from shot and shell by belt Of
armor sufficiently strong to insure sta
bility, even if the bow and stern
should be riddled above the protected
decks. Or an entirely different build from
the Chicago and Baltimore, the Maine, should
she meet man-of-war, will not be forced to
run away While she was not designed to
engage in battle, her armor and her guns
will he heavy enough to warrant her n pro-
voking fight.

The house of Barring Bros, one Of the great
financial firms Of the world, has had a mar
row escape from going into bankruptcy.
Owing to the heavy tall In Argentine Repub-
lie securities, in which Barring Bros. were
largely interested, followed by the with
drawal of over s12, 100000 which the firm
held for the Russian Government, the con-
Germ, Notwithstanding its enormous capital
and resources, became strained and 1t was
feared would have to 60 into liquidation.
At this iuncture the Bank OF England,
the Rothschilds and other large European
banking houses came to the relief or tho Bar

averted. .
The news of Barring Brothers trouble
caused great excitement in tho worlds f1nan-

were in dropping condition. In Wall street
several failures occurred, but when II
became known that the Baring's had been

The Bank Of England has added to its historic
services to the State and the commercial
community by its prompt action In averting
what would have been lamentable catas-
trophe. The administration OF the bank
not only provided vast reinforcement to
its stock Of gold to most exceptional Dc
mands in the event Of panic, but also
stepped out of the ordinary routine OF bust
ness to prevent the downfall Of one OF the
greatest and most respected English financial
houses, which had for some days been In

was elected director Of the East India COM
pany, became jealous supporter OF Mr'
PITTS policy, and was rewarded with baror'
netcy In NAV, 1898. His observations on ths
Establishment Of the Bank Of England had
great weight in the question OF renewing tta
charter. Three Of his Sons-ThomAs Asn-
burton and Heury-were associated with ING
house of Barring Brothers but Henry left ana
associated himself with Lord Mccartney ID
