THE NEW CRUISER OLYMPIA.
She Is the Largest War Ship Constructed on
the Pacific Coast.

san FKAxorsco. Nov. 2.-The 2o-knot
protected cruiser Olympia, to be launched
At % A. NJ. on Saturday Nov. ), is the
largest war ship constructed on the Pacific
coast. The Olympia is the work of the
nion Iron Works of San Francisco, Cal,
the same establishment which built the new
'cruisers Charleston and San Francisco, and
and the coast defence battle ship Monterey.
The displacement of the olympia is
$40 tons. The displacement of the
Charleston Is o4u tens, San Francisco
.Us3 tons. AMI Monterey 900 tons. The
horse power Of the olympia i, 1850. as
compared respectively with the 6,'i60 of the
Charleston, 10, 400 of the San Francisco,
and 400 of the Monterey. In weight of
metal the battery of the Olympia exceeds
both the Charleston and San Francisco
batteries.
The Olympia will carry four s-inch and
10 5-inch high-powered breech-loading
rifles. The Charleston carries two s-inch
and six 6-inch rifles, and the San Francisco
u 6-inch rifles. The secondary battery of
the OLYMPIA will include II 6-pounder and
six l-pounder rapid-fire guns and Gatlings.
The simplicity of this secondary battery
is at once apparent when compared with
the earlier designed and rather mixed up
secondary battery of the San Francisco
which includes four G-pounder, four
3-pounder, and two l-pounder rapid fire
guns, four Gatlings, and three 3Imillime-
ter revolving cannon.
The CharIeston's secondary battery is
about as badly mixed up, consisting as it
does of four six-pounder. two three-pound-
er and two one-pounder rarid-fire guns,
two Cuttings and four 81 milIimeter revol-
ing cannon. The two latter secondary bat
teries require considerable mixture of am
munition. To avoid confusion future sec
ondary batteries are being made more ho-
mogeneous. The three- -pounder gun has
been discarded as also the Il 1millimeter re-
yolving cannon.
The olympia will be christened by Miss
Anna b. Dickie, daughter of George W.
Dickev of the Union Iron Works. The
launching rope will be cut by Miss Elsie
Lihenthal. daughter of Philip Lilienthal-

FIRE At RANDOLPH.
The Old Centennial Ice Houses Burned-Nar.
row Escape Of the Steamer kennebec.

GARDINER, Nov. - Special. The old
Centennial ice houses at Randolph just be-
low the shoe factory, burned this morning
shortly after two O'Clock. The alarm was
given by the watchman on the steamer
kennebec which was moored short dis
lance above the buildings.
Fortunately the little wind stirring blew
away from the boat or she would have been
badly damaged. She was hauled ahead as
far as possible but her stern was somewhat
scorched.
The buildings were about 10000 tons ca
pacity and were enlarged and repaired in the
winter of 1880, when the ice craze was on.
They were old and were not valued at over
$1,000. They were owned by J. johnson,
Boston real estate broker, who it is un-
derstood held small amount of insurance
on them. 1t is understood that the fire was
incendiary. The building had no ice in IT
at the tune but was filed with hay and
other. dunnage. The entire stand of build
ings was consumed.

Hew The Public Nay See Her Take water o.
| New. I.

BRaokIsS. Nov. 2.-..Tbe new United
States cruiser Cincinnati will be launched
at 1880 O'Clock on the morning of Nov. !,
and the gates will be open to everyone,
said Commodore Henry Erben, eommandan,
of the Brooklyn navy yard.
Commodore Erben further stated that he
proposed giving every facility on this occa-
sion 10 see tile workings of the navy yard.
No attempt, he said would be made 10 issue
passes. Everyone viii be welcome. The
arrangements for launching the Cincinnati
are in the hands of Naval Constructor
Frank l.. Fernald, L nited States Navy.
So far as the vessel is concerned she
could be launched this week. except for the
fact tha, the launching ways are not yet in
a state of readiness. The latter are now
being erected from the waters edge inshore,
where they will connect with the ways upon
which the vessel was built.
At 10 o'clock on Nov. { the tide will be
al slack high water. This is the most fa-
sorable time in which TO launch a ship,
sacc it affords a greater depth of water for
the initial plunge. For the fact also that
the tide is slack. there is less likelihood of
the cruiser taking rank sheer either 10
starboard or TO port when she reaches the
water.
As soon as launched the Cincinnati will
he hauled to alongside the stone dry dock,
where she will receive her machinery, boil
crs and final hull work. Her propellers
will not be fitted until she is placed in dry
dock. The propeller hubs, are, however,
to be in position before launching. As the
propeller blades are of the adjustable type
they can be placed or removed when de-
sired. In propellers of the fixed type the
destruction of one blade means the de-
struction Of the entire propeller.
Visitors can best see the launch of the
Cincinnati from positions on the cob dock
of the navy yard or at a point between the
! cruiser and the East river. The presence
of the shiphouse. in which the cruiser
Maine was built, to the westward of the
Cincir natl will shut out much vantage
ground.
The Cincinnati will be the fastest ship
ever launched from the Brooklyn navy
yard. She is designed to make 10 knots
per hour as IA mean of four hours run. 1t
is believed among engineer officers that she
will attain to speed of nearly 20 knots
per hour. The engines of the Cincinnati
are the design of Commodore George W.
Melville, chief of the Lpreau of the steam
engineering of the navy department. The
construction work has been under the i'm
mediate charge. frs, of Chief Engineer
William W. Durgan and latterly of Chief
Engineer Samuel L.. 7. Ayres, both of the
nited States navy.
