with any cruiser ahoat. she will surely be a
formidable engine of war. She is to be armed
with six eight-inch rifles as a main battery,
supplemented by twelve four-inch Lreech-
loading rifles and other smaller guns as
secondary battery. Four of the large guns are
mounted in barhettes or turrets of the Hichborn
pattern with slOping tops and extreme freedom
of movement The sides of these turrets will
be covered by ten-Inch steel plates and the
santing tops VIII have a covering of seven
inches. Two Of the cight-inch guns will be
mounted in broadside behind partial barbettes
of two-inch material The tonr-inch guns will
be placed behind sponsors four inches thick.
HER PROTECTIVE DECK.
The main feature Of the vessels structure
will be her protective deck. which will taper in
thickness from the vital parts in the center to
the bow and stern. 4 partial bel. of nickel
steel armor will give additional protection.
while a cellulose filling between the protective
deck and the skin of the ship will exclude the
water in the case of penetration by shot.
The full coal bunkers will also aid in keeping
missiles from the boilers and engines
The vessel will have four separate engines,

power. This will give MAXIMUM speed of

will have a cruising radius of 1880 knots at
ten-knot speed. the New York will have cruis-

new cruiser to maintain herself when at great
distance from home station has been secured
chiefly by her great size.

THE G. A. C.'S NOT IN IT.
Princeton's Great Foot Ball Team Has a
Walk-Oyer,


Walk-Over.
The foot ball eleven from Princeton that
played such piucky if unsuccessful game
with Yale for the championship came to this
city yesterday and did up the eleven from the
Columbia Athletic Club in manner that caused
their admirers to rejoice and made friends Of
the entire audience. There were about 1900
people in Capitol Park when time was called
for the first hall, at 3l5 O'Clock. There were
many in the crowd who we're decorated with
ribbons of orange and black. the colors Of the
and blue did most of the cheering, however,
and crowd of clubmen on top of coach did
yeoman's service in this line.
Back Of the ropes were many handsome
equipages and the grand stand was well filled
with pretty girls in stylish fall gowns.
j. &. b. Pendleton of Princeton was selected
umpire and Charles II. Boynton Of this city was
the referee.
The college boys from New Jersey left the
field victors by a score of 20 to 0. and from the
very start it was evident that the local team
was not in il. They had neither the science,
the training nor the strength Of their op-
ponents.
Still the game was a brilliant one despite the
one-sided character of the score. and the Co
iumbias did their share in the good playing
Townsend and Burroughs did some good run
ming. Veazey kicked and caught in brilliant
style, while the interference and tackling of
Church, Emery. Wells. Rainier and Weaver was

twenty knots and a sustained sea speed OF
eighteen and one-half knots. At a speed Of ten
knots the coal endurance of the vessel is es-
timated att 5000 miles, or sufficient, barring
barnacles, to carry the ship around the world
without recoaling.
SHE WILL BE A FLAG sRIP.
The New York will be fitted out az a flag
ship and will have every modern convenience,
including artificial ventilation. complete pump.
ing and drainage arrangements and an electric
light plant of 10, 900 amperes capacity, furnish
ing electricity to 7G0 incandescent lights.
Besides the quarters for admiral and captain
there will be state rooms for twenty, ward
room. twelve junior and two warrant officers.
The ships complement Of both officers and
men is ATS.
THE OBJECT TO BE ATTAINED.
The object for which the Navy Department
has striven in the armored cruiser New
York, and which, it lie confidently believed, has
been attained, is an unusual combination of
great offensive and defensive power, with ex-
traordinary coal endurance, and high rate of
speed. The ability to cruise for a long period
under steam when coaling stations are not near
at hand has been largely developed in the
cruiser New York. In this respect sho will be
far superior to the armored cruiser Maine,

offices being assigned to the first class 602 to
the second class and 1884 to the third class,
making total of 1854 presidential offices July
/, 1891. This was a net increase Of IL first
class, so second class and 1873 third class Offices
the aggregate amount of presidential salaries
being S5.047. 700. or an increase of S434 200 or
"a per cent. as compared with the same item

NAVAL CONSTRUCTION.
Annual Report VI Commodore Wilson, Chief
Constructor. to the Secretary Of the Navy.

Annual Report Of Commodore Wilson, Chief
Constructor. to the Secretary Of the Navy.
In his annual report to the Secretary of the
Navy Chief Constructor Wilson expresses his
satisfaction with the progress Of the work of
building up navy suited to the needs Of the
United States and says: when the vessels
now under construction are completed the
country will possess the nucleus of a modern
fleet complete in all Of its types. from the most
powerful armored battle ships to going
torpedo boats. These vessels. designed with
special reference to our own naval service, and
to fulfill the requirements of construction as
severe as those Of any nation in the world, will
be. ship for ship. superior to most and second
to none of the vessels of any foreign fleet now
built or building. 1t only remains for Congress
to decide what number of each class are ucces-
sary for the protection of the country"
TO PROTECT STEEL VESSELS FROM coRRosIoS.
Taking as text the troubles of the'steel ves-
| sells in Chilean waters with sea growths and en-
cumbrances, the chief says: The importance Of
the preservation OF the bottoms of steel vessels
from corrOsion and foulins can hardly be over
estimated and is continually emphasized by the
report of loss of speed and increased consump-
ton of coal received from our new unsheathed
steel vessels now III commission. Unless we
are willing to admit that the role OF our cruisers
IN time OF war shall be entirely confined to
cruises Of short duration in the neighborhood
of our own ports it would appear that they are
deficient i'll most important quality. namely,
the ability to maintain high speed at sea for
long periods of time.
1t is recommended that Congress be asked to
adopt the conclusion reached by Constructor
Hichborn, who has made an extensive study OF
the subject. as follows:
1. All cruising vessels intended for general
service IN foreign waters should be sheathed ii
above 600 tons displacement.
2. Vessels OF less than /, 200 tons displacement
intended for general service as cruising gun
boats, &c, should be of composite construc-
ton, viz: With steel framing, wood outside,
pianking and copper sheathing.
APPROPRIATIONS ESTIMATED FOR.
Appropriations are requested for increase in
the machine departments in navy yards for re-
pair purposes as follows: Twenty-Five Thousand
dollars for Portsmouth, N. H.. navy yard;
$50, 900 for the New York navy yard; S4i 900
for the League Island. Pa, navy yard; $4,000
for the Norfolk, Va. navy yard, and 500, 900
for the Mare Island, CAL, navy yard.

"Dixie" as n National Air.

To the Editor Of The Evening Star
heartily agree with the article in your issue
of November 81, taken from the New York
Herald, in that "Dixie is a lovely bit of music.
superior to almost all the national airs Of the
world, conspicuously to those Of this country
but think the writer must have drawn strongly
on his imagination in saying that "every Union
band used to play it and every Union soldier
marched to Dixie in the great campaigns"
served four years in the Union army, and dur
ing that time heard few bands play, but ]
don't call to mind that l ever heard one play
Dixie" think the Union bands that played
Dixie" must have belonged to the regiments
whose chaplains prayed for the president OF the
confedci ate states, &c. Still, as I have said. ]
am an ndmirer of "Dixie," and as such would
like TO see it adopted as one of our national airs
Boom it up! Give us "Dixie," and let us have
one national air at least that IL American.
