the highest rate Of speed is required Each

that when not in use the propellers are free to
reyolve. The great advantage Of this arrange
ment is that it allows tho machinery to be
worked at its maximum and most economical
number OF revolutions at all rates Of the vessel 8
speed. and each engine can always be used for
propelling the vessel, an advantage of great
importance and one that the Arrangement OF
two sets of engines working on the same screw
does not possess.
AN ARMoRrp DECK.
The vital portions Of the vessel are protected
by an armored deck inches thick ON slopes
and pa inches on the fat The space between
this deck and the gun deck will be infinitely
subdivided by coal bunkers and store rooms.
In addition to these a Golfer dam 5 feet in
width will be worked next to the ships side for
the whole length of tho vessel In the bunkers
this will be filled with n patent substance.
forming wall feet thick against machine
gun FIRE, which can also be utilized as fuel in
an emergency. Forward and abaft tho coal
bunkers the Golfer dam will be filed with some
water excluding substance similar to .'woodi.e. "
In the wake Of the four-inch and machine guns
the ships side will be armored with four and
two-inch plates. The six-inch guns are
mounted In the open, protected by heavy
shields attached to the gun carriages
The coal capacity is 1000 tons. At 10 knots
speed per hour this will give the vessel an en-
durance OF 100 days, radius of action Of &c, 24O
Knots, or. IN other words, she will be able to
steam around the world in 100 days without
recoaling.

LINE OF BATTLE SHIP.

the thickest armor either built or building for

being the Maine. now on the stocks in New
York, which, however, is neither so large nor

THE BATTLE SHIPS.
The dimensions of the battle ships are as

breadth, 60 feet; depth in hold from top of
main deck beams to inner bottom. SO feet The
contractors are TO furnish all of the armor, 4. -,
required in the construction Of the protective
deck, while the United States will provide all
other armor and accessories. In case Of a fail
ure on the part of the builders to complete the
vessels within three years they will be required
TO pay penalties follows: For the the first
three months over time. SIS day; for the
next three, $50 day. and for every day over

tract, $500.
The contractors shall guarantee that the

AN "HONEST SELL OUT"
Hon. Fred'k Douglass View Of Isaiah
I. Montgomery's Proposition.

The address made BY Isaiah I. Montgomery,
the Bolivar county delegate to the Mississippi
constitutional convention advocating the adop-
ton Of the report Of the franchise committee
has created more widespread comment than
has been caused by the remarks Of colored
man in long time. Mr.. Montgomery favors
educational distinction, which would wipe out
the eolored preponderance of 10000 in Missis-
sippi and give a white majority Of 4s,451. He
also favors an arbitrary apportionment Of the
state, SO as to give a majority Of white con-
stituencies in each branch Of the legislature.
Hon. Frederick Douglass, minister to Hayti,
who leaves tomorrow on his return to his post
at Port-au-Prince, when seen by SrAn re-
porter and asked what he thought of the Mis-
sissippi constitutional convention and Of Mr.
Montgomery's speech, he replied: 1.-The chief
attraction Of the speech to me was the source
from which it came and the remarkable vigor
and excellence it possessed. 1t shows what a
coiored man is capable of~ I think he sells our
people out. but with honesty and the best of
purposes. appreciate the motive and admire
the effort in itself. but cannot assent to its
illusions. / am too much of an old abolitonist
for that. The weakness is that the law places
the whole machinery for testing fitness to vote
in the hands of the whites. II they could only
make part of our people democrats down there,
and thus have whites and blacks in both par
ties. solution would be speedily reached"
Under the proposed educational test it is
estimated that 1000 whites and 123, 600 blacks
will be DISTINGUISHED, leaving the whites vot-
ing majority OF about AZ. 900 in the state. Will
this advantage to the whites tend to retard eff
forts for the education of the colored people?'
''No; that will not operate. Tho colored
people will get an education one way or an
other"

In appearance tho vessel will resemble an
ordinary merchantman, the sides being nearly
clear OF projections or Sponsors which or
dnarlly appear on vessels of war. She will
have two signal masts, with no military tops on
them, however. The function of the vessel ia

therefore her general appearance is such as to
enable her to get within range before her char
acter Is discovered. AS whole this vessel will
represent the latest idea OF powerful. eco
nomical, protected commerce DESTROYER
In her case the builders are to guarantee a
speed OF II knots, receiving the Same pre-
mlums and paying the same penalties as in the
case OF the battl ships. The timo penalties
are also the same, the contract time being two
and a half years.
The act of June 80, 1890, which appropriated
Tor these vessels. provides that ''in making pro-
posals for contracts for building the vesse Is
authorized by this act il shall be required that
one OF such vessels shall be built on or near the
coast of the Pacific ocean or the waters con-
meeting Herewith. one Of them on or near the

the Navy shall approve" and that if it shall
appear to the satisfaction of the President of
the United States, from the biddings for said
contracts, that said vessels cannot
be constructed at a fair cost on or n ear the
