A TRIPLE SCREW SHIP.
How O New Cruiser IL to be the Fastest
Naval Vessel Afioat.

Secretary Tracy has decided 10 adopt the
Recommendation Of Engineer-in-C Chief Melville
to build the new cruiser provided for in the
pending naval appropriation bill with three
screws, instead Of the customary two. She
is to be about 400 feet long
and IS feet beam. 1890 tons displacement.
will develop about 20, 500 horse power and
make Al average speed Of II knots an hour,
maintained for four hours, or q knots over 9
measured mile. II this is accomplished the
cruiser will be the fastest ever produced and
added to other qualities will prove a most
formidable war craft She is to have no armor,
but is:to be provided with q protective deck
The three screws will be a most decided
novelty In this country, nothing Of the kind
ever having been built here.
NOT An EXPERIMENT.
But 1t is not to be an experiment. for the
Italian government tried the system on the
torpedo boat Tripoli, which developed q little
over - knots. The Duprey de Lorne. now
building. is TO be fitted with triple screws, as a
result OF a series OF experiments with the sys-
tem on the Carpe, a French cruiser.
Nothing has been decided as TO the exact ar
rangement OF the three screws. although il 10
expected that they will be placed in a triangle.
with the apex below, the mother screw being
considerably abaft the other two. Ii is
designed to run the ship with The
center screw alone for ordinary cruising
purposes, this being expected 20 develop a
speed Of from Is 10 IS knots an hour. In case
IL Is desired TO attain a moderate speed the
two forward screws will be used aud in the
event Of q need for the highest possible speed
all three will be run.
1t is not anticipated that these high s,ipu.
lations viii make it difficult to obtain bids on
the vessel.

BARGAIN DAY AT THE NAVY YARD.
Uncle Sam Sells on a Lot Of Naval
Remnants ut Auction.

In @ great institution like the navy yard q
large amount of useless property is accumulat-
ing all the time and every once in q while must
be disposed of somehow. This is usually done
by means of a public sale Of the con-
demned property and such a sale as this
took place at the navy yard
auction, some few drawn by curiosity, but
most Of them on the sharp lookout for
bargains. No matter what a purchaser was
after he could get it if he only waited long
enough for the collection was q mot
ley one. For instance lot No. 80
was l schooner, sunken, while lot 80 was 26
discarded naval properties, a majority
of which were sold for what they were
supposed to be worth AS old brass
or iron. Lot No. 2 was one boiler, Rescue's,
worn out, while No. 8 was one wrought-iron
crank shaft, built up for the Bonnie
brackets and carriages, powder tanks, sword
bayonets and scabbards. howitzer wheels, lig-
numvite logs, hickory brooms, tin candle
sticks, water filters, a plated sugar bowl
and cream pitcher. an iron bodstead,
thing that would be necessary to it
up a secondhand navy with secondhand
equipments. As a rule the prices were fairly
good, though some f~rst-rate bargains were
made by those who wanted to pur-
chase the sort OF things that were
on sale. The condemned property
was stored in the various hrildings around the
yard, the foundries, ship houses. shell house,
howitzer shed, the sail loft and all the others
and the crowd, a good-natured one, though
warm, went from place to place
at the bidding of the auctioneer, who in turn
went from price to price at the bidding of the
crowd.
The sale was under the supervision OF the
paymaster Of the ward and was conducted by
Radcliffe, Darr & Co., the auctioneers.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY,
Increased Appropriations for That In
stftution Asked For.

The Secretary Of the Treasury today for
warded to the Senate a letter from the secre-
tary OF the Interior recommending
an increase in the appropriation for
the support of Howard University. There is
also a letter of explanation from F.. Ii. Smith,
W. A. Bartlett and Rush r. shipper, a COM
mittee appointed by the university trustees, in
which the various increases asked for are
explained. In a paragraph on the ind ustrial
Department this committee says: For
several years the university, almost without
funds, has sought to give incidental
instruction in several branches of
mechanical industry. Colored apprentices
aud colored tourneymen are excluded by al,
trades unions. rendering it impossible for a
colored young man to blame the education and
training necessary to enable him to compete
successfully with his white brother.
The increases are-salaries, els. 500 to $40
900; books for library, $4,000; chemical appar-
atus, $1,000; improvement of grounds, ~, 600
current expenses, 81 800. New buildings are
also needed, and for the erection of these the
sum of sl03, 95S. 40 is asked.

PENNSYLVANIA REPUBLICANS.
They Are Making Large Guesses at Har-
risburg.

HARRISBURG, Pa, June A.-The question as
to who will get the second place, that Of lieut.
enant governor, in the republican convention
tomorrow is a topic of interest among the
delegates here today. Passmore stock is on
the rise this morning and it is said
that the grangers are backing him for the
place. Watres aud Martin are both confident
and yet they fear n change Mt the last moment
that may result in a new man being taken. 1t
Is certain that the lieutenant governor will not
be finally settled upon until all doubt has been
ernor. Passmore, Watres and Martin
are all lacking on to the Delamater
kite and two OF them are going to DO disap-
pointed, perhaps all three of them. Watres IL
the fayorite with the Delamater lieutenants.
II Hastings is the nominee il is possible that
the convention may be stamped for Montooth
for lieutenant governor. The gallant major
has said that he does not want to interfere
with the men who nave been making the fight
for second place. but il the nomination came
to hin in that way he would probably accept
it. II has been agreed that George
C.. Graham OF Philadelphia shall
be temporary chairman and Wall
ter Lyon of Allegheny permanent chair
man. Graham and Lyon are both Quay men.
Graham. il is said, will vote for Hastings on the
first ballot and Lyon will vote for MOntooth.
Chairman Andrews, who yesterday thought
il might be necessary to have Senator Quay
here TO straighten out things. has changed his
mind this morning and the Senator will not be
on the ground. He is directing the fight by
wire. however.
DELAMATER FEELS SURE
Delamater expressed himself with great con-
hdence this morning on the outcome: Il am
just as sure of my nomination" seid he, las l
am sure that the convention will meet"

FOR PUBLIC BUILDINGS HERE.
Proposed Amendments to the Sundry
Civil Appropriations Bill.

-
The Senate committee on public buildin g
and grounds has authorized number Of
amendments Of great interest . the people Of
Washington to be proposed to the sundry civil
appropriation bill and Senator Morrill, today
offered them in the Senate. An appro-
pristion of s500,0O0 is asked for an
additional fire proof building, 800 feet square,
with two stories and a basement for the use of
the National Museum, the building to be
placed west of the Smithsonian Institution.
A SUPREME COURT BUILDING.
An effort will also be made to secure by
means of an appropriation bill, a site for a SUI
preme Court Building. the removal Of the
court being urgently desired in order to
give more committee rooms for the Senate.
The amendment authorizes the purchase by the
Secretary Of the Interior OF squares 726, 727
north, on the east by Goth street east, on the
south by East Capitol street and on the west by
LIST street east. The amount Of appropriation
Is left indefinite.
A POST OFFICE PROJECT.
The project for q combined building for the
Post Office Department and q city post office is
revived. The Postmaster General, Secretary
of the Interior and Attorney General are con-
stituted a commission to secure by condemna-
tioI ground suitable Tor the purposes named.
the selection of site being left to thoir
discretion. They are authorized to draw upon
the Treasury for any money needed. The
probable effect of the adoption of this amend
ment would be to throw the post Office and
Post Office Department building upon the LIE
Droit square and kill the bill for a post Office
at 18th street and the avenue.
THE SMITHSONIAN BUILDING.
Another amendment appropriates s45, 900 for
the improvement of the Smithsonian Institu-
ton building.
