The construction bureau OF the navy
department contemplates a change in the
rig of the armored cruiser Maine. This
vessel is rapidly nearing completion at the
Brooklyn Navy Yard. The original de-
sign called for a bark rugged cruiser, with
lower topsail and topgallant yards on the
fore and main masts, and, in addition, top
sails on the fore, main and miZzen mastS,
jib, foretopmast staysail and gatftopsail.
1t is now proposed, says the New York
Times, to strip the Maine of all sails and
substitute in lieu OF three masts two
military masts with lighting tops. Com
mander f. Il. Chadwick. U. :. n. who
has been assigned to duty in connection
with the fitting out OF the Maine, has re
Gently conferred with the other inspectors
of the vessels concerning the change. n
originally allowing the Maine a sail area
of 1l3J square feet OF canvas it was expect
Ell that this spread would be sufficient to
enable the cruiser to handle herself ut sea
in the event of the engines breaking
down.
The substitution of military mastS is i'll
the line OF reduction in weights. The say
ing will not only increase the mctacentric
height, but permit of weights not other
wise allowable. There is no reason to
warrant lne Assumption unal Ine cnanSe is
being made in the interest of stability.
The Maine is an out-and-Out American
ship. All of the new vessels of the navy
designed in this country have proved
themselves to be thoroughly stable.
The work of placing the machinery
aboard the Maine is steadily progressing.
The bed plates, columns and numerous
parts are now in position. Three cylinders
will be placed aboard this week. The
Maine will be ready for her steaming
trial, so far as machinery is concerned, six
months hence.

TURF Topics. j. Malcomb Forbes, of
Boston, has bought Arion, the two year
old colt, which made the world S record
at 2. 10 3-4 ON the Stockton, Cal, kite
track few months ago. The price paid
is said to be over 500, 600 and some put
it at S150.0 Arion is about Is hands
high, and is what is known as a ''clever'
horse. The colt is already engaged for 10
mares in 1892 at a service fee of $780,.
Appleton Webb, Esq. of Waterville, the
well known owner of many speedy and
finely bred horses, is very enthusiastic
when talking of the prospects foI trotting
in Maine the coming season. He thinks
there will be more races, faster time, and
more put into the 2.3O list in the season
of 1892 than ever before in one year. He
confidently expects that three out of his
string will 90 into this charmed circle.
1t is understood that Mr.. Webb is nego-
tiating for an Electioneer stallion for the
Mountain Farm and in case the trade is
consummated it will of course be duly an
nounced. ..... The AndroScoggin Horse

Compulsory Pilotage.

In speaking of compulsory pilotage at New
York, the Gardiner Home journal is just
right in saying that to compel every person
to subscribe for the Journal who visited
Gardiner, would be just as sensible as the
present requirement which obliges every
vessel to pay pilotage at New York, whether
it takes pilot or not. The association of
pilots at New York is powerful and through
its organized opposition the measure to abol-
ish compulsory pilotage has been repeatedly
defeated in Congress. Senator Frye and the
Maine delegation in the House will try it
again this winter Bath Enterprise.

Liquor Advertisements Shut Out.

NEW HAVEN, Conn.,, Jan. II. The Yale
Faculty has requested the managers of the
college publications under student auspices
in future to refuse advertisements of liquor
dealers, hotels and notices in any way con-
nected with the liquor business. The new
rule will lessen materially the income of all
the papers. The rule, which went into effect
Jan. l, governs the Yale News Ia daily, The
Banner, Courant, Pot Pourri, Record, Alum
nj Weekly, Law Journal and Union and Lit
erary Magazine. There is no opposition to
the rule among the students connected with
the papers, but many of them think it is an
unnecessary step. There will be no protest,
however.

ture,--one Of the two old wooden desks pro-
vided by the Maine legislature for the legis-
lative reporters in the house of representa-

of the seat of government from Portland to
Augusta, in 1882. 1t was in constant use to
