,akinc the fastest vessels aHoat and ut the same
time to escape from more powerful battle-snips
of another class. With this speed is united .
remarkable coal capacity, which will enable IL
70 make long cruises and release 1t from de-
pendence upon coaling-stations. AS COM
merce-destroyer until the Pirate is ailoat, IL VIII
be unrivalled on the ocean, yet it VIII be also
a fighting ship of high power. While Its bat
terry will not be match for the heaviest guns
Of foreign nayies it is admirably arranged for
all-around work, and with its powerful ram and
its superior manoeuvring qualities it can make
q determined fight even against battle-shlp.
No vessel which has been added to the Navy
offers so complete a combination OF offensive and
defensive qualities as the New-York
The construction of this vessel was authorized
by Congress in 1886, but the contract was not
signed until August, 1890 On September 30
the keel was laid, and at the end OF fourteen
months the ship is atoat. The Iapidity with
which the largest and finest of the cruisers,
vessel costing about $4,000, 900, has been built
is a signal proof of the wonderful progress made
in shpbudng during the last decade. When
the work of designing new Navy was begun
under Secretary Chandler in 1888 American
engineers and shipbuders were rusty and be-
hind the times So we'll have they learned their
lesson that they are now able to build cruisers
of the highest speed and efficiency as rapidly as
the same work can be done in European ship
yards. No longer are English and French de-
o:gns purchased and foreign cruisers reproduced
The newest vessels added to the Navy are es-
sentally original in design and model and Ameri-
can in every sense. The E&sdge of the Nation
in this respect has been regained in the course
of few years. The New-YoH will serve as
model for foreign cruisers, and its remarkable
combination of qualities will be reproduced by
European designers. Wherever this splendid
ship sails it will worthiy represent the honor
and glory of the American people
New-York tribune. [volume] (New York [N.Y.]) 1866-1924, 1891-12-02

criticism Some people may be prompted to
draw a contrast between the anxiety OF the stare
Canvassers to place the four Congressmen-elect
in their seats in Washington as soon as possible
and Hills scandalous delay in taking his seat in
the Senate But that will be a minor consdeia-
ton. Let the State Board canvass the vote on
Congressman and then stop, adjourning until the
18th, and no harm will have been done.
But if its members, having disposed OF the
Congressional vote, 60 ahead and canvass the
legislative vote they will place themselves in
pillory from which they Will never escape. In
view Of the pending contests in several districts,
some of which are the subject OF legal proceed
ings; in view OF the order granted yesterday
by Judge Edwards; in view of the fact that tho
Deputy Secretary of State has heretofore in
formed whom it might concern that the Board
would not be convened until the 18TH it would
be to the last degree unjust, not to say indie
cent, to canvass the vote on Senate and Assem-
bly, at an earlier date.
1t will be noticed that Secretary Rice is Ie-
ported as asserting that "the returns from all
the counties have been received at this office"
Mr.. Rice, to put it mildly, is mistaken. The re-
turns have DOt all been received. There are
bogus returns from Duchess on file in Mr.. Rice's
Office, but he knows-at least, it is his business
to know-that no returns which the law recog-
nizes have been received from that county. The
eyes of all the pubc-spirited voters in the State
are on the Board of Canvassers. Its members
have the opportunity of lifetime to render tho
cause of honest elections signal service We
trust they will make the most of it. We arc
loath to believe that they will Join hands with
the thieves with headquarters in the Executive
Chamber, and whose aim i 20 turn the recent
election for lawmakers into ghastly farce.
