500 cubic feet OF air per minute when
running at full speed.
The vital portions OF the vessel are
protected by an armored deck four
inches thick on the slopes and two and
one-half inches on the fiat. The space
between this deck and the gun deck
WILDE infinitely subdivided by coal
bunkers and store rooms. In addition
there will be cofierdam FIVE feet wide
running next to the ships side through
out the whole length oil the vessel. In
the bunkers not used for coal this will
be filed witha patent substance OF such
solidity as to form wall five feet thick,
having all the advantages OF an inner
and supplemental armor. In the event
Of an emergency this patent substance,
the nature ofwhich is kept secret,
can be taken out and used for fuel. For
ward and abaft the coal bunkers the
cofferdam will be filed with water
excluding substance similar to woodite.
0The Pirate" will carry no big guns.
The uses for which she is intended will
not REQUIRE any. Not gun will be in
sight, and the battery will be'abnormal-
Wight. There will be one S-inch gun
az a bow chaser. This is expected to
play the principal part in the cruisers
career should she ever get 70 chasing
the merchantmen of any OF the nations
across the pond. Besides this she will
carry four 6-inch breech-loading rifles,
eipht4-inch breech-loading rifles, twelve
rapid firing 6-pounders. six rapid firing
l-pounders, two machine guns, one
field gun and six torpedo tubes. In the
wage Of tho eightfour-inch and machine
guns the ships sides will be armored
with four and two-inch plating.
As whole. this vessel will represent
the latest idea of powerful, economi-
cal, protected cruiser, embodying the
HIGHEST results OF the naval knowledge
Of the world, with improvements de-
signed by American ingenuity. The
recommendations for officers and crew
will DO spacious, well ventilated and

A BLooDY RIOT
Cansed by Gamblers at Turner Picnic
at Queens Lake.

Cansed by Gamblers at a Turner Picnic
at Queens Lake.
MAscoUTAH, I'LL, July 25.-News has
lust reached L.vre of bloody riot at a
Turner picnic q: Queens Lake, seven
miles southeast of here, in Clinton
county, late last evening. The fight
lasted about Two hours and was bloody
from start TO finish,
Six strangers, thought to be from st.
Louis, came to Queens Lake in the
morning and started three-shell game
near the picnic grounds during the
day. A number OF men lost heavily
betting on the games.
Toward evening dispute arose be-
tween one Of the manipulators OF the
shells and an outsider The trouble
soon spread and free fight followed, in
which revolvers, knives, sling shots and
clubs were used in a reckless fashion.
When the north-bound St. Louis train
on the Louisville and Nashville railroad
reached Queens Lake, the fight was at
its height. Coach windows were bro
ken and lamps smashed, but
fortunately no passengers were injured:
An eye witness said there appeared
to DO twenty-five men involved in the
fight when the train pulled out The
gamblers finally gave up the fight and
took to the woods and made their
escape. Two or three, otgthem were
badly hurt. The full extent OF their in
juries is not known.
Upon the other side Peter Miller. a
hotel keeper, was cut up in frightful
manner and it is thought cannot live.
David Shelton, a nail mill worker OF
BelIeyille, was shot four times and had
his finger mashed of. lie is also in
very bad condition. A dozen more
were more or less injured, but none
seriously.

PHILADElPHIA, July 25.-The swiftcst
and most formidable destroyer of ocean
commerce in the world willibe launched
from the yard of the Cramps Tuesday
afternoon. 1t is known as Cruiser No.
u, or the Pirate, but will be named
after one of the cities of the United
States. A companion ship, No. Is, is
now building. Tho pair will be the
fastest ships in the world. The con-
tract calls for speed of % knots an
hour. The greatest greyhound, the
Teutonic's, best work is 21.O6 knots.
The cruiseris designed with two objects
in yiew-speed and coal-carrying capac'
ity. The tonnage is $500, and the coal
capacity will DO larger than that of any
other vessel afloat-2,OOO tons. She can
remain 100 days at sea without replen-
ishing her stock OF coal. The vessel is
400 feet in length on the load water
line, IS feet beam and "a feet draught.
The machinery is intricate, and on a
novel plan designed by Chief Engineer
Melville. There will be three triple
expansion engines, each working q sep
arate screw, one on either side OF the
rudder and one above it. The horse
power, under q forced draught, will DO
20,550. Under full pressure each screw
can attain a rate Of 1913 revolutions per
minute. The City of Paris only aver
aged ninety revolutions on her record
breaking trip.
Some engineers have doubted the eff
ticiency OF the three-screw system, on
the ground that in certain trials in
France the center screw was found to
have only minimum propelling power.
This, however, was when the screws oc-
cupled the same vertical plane. To OBJ
yiate this difficulty, the side screws in
Mr.. Melvillc's plans are situated fifteen
feet forward and above the center one,
so that the water from the side screws
does not interfere with the water flow
ing into tho periphery OF the center one.
Each of the three shafts is fitted with
disengaging coupling, SO that the pro-
pelIers may be free to revolve when not
in use.
There are ten boilers. These boilers
are made OF steel and they carry pres
sure of 100 pounds. Eight are built in
air and water tight com partments. into
which there is forced draught Of 2l6,-

ST.. LOUIS, No., July 25.-At meeting
last night of carpenters several addresses
were made advocating a strike in tho
near future if every demand Of organ
led labor in this city Is not acceded to.
A committee was appointed, which will
order the carpenters to strike if the
bosses do not cease using non-unlon
men. 1t is not improbable that the
coming week will witness great strike
of the carpenters. The situation among
the building trades looks serious. With

all efforts were directed to saving per-
sonal effects. The 1900 inhabitants are
in the smoking streets without shelter.
A train of freight cars was sent out by
the Northern Pacific in which people
may store their effects they have saved.
The town was practically without fire
protection. Before the superiorfire de-
partment got out of town they were re-
called by a message stating that 1t
would be too late for service. Many
Superior people are heavy losers.

The death of Jay Gould has brought
many expressive sentiments to the sur
face in the newspaper world, one of the
most ineligible of which, upon the
lesson of life, comes from the Oregon
ian. We qnote one paragraph: "The
lesson of Jay Gould's life is doubly
plain and wholesome, when it is COM
and memory of other wealthy men.
There is no support in it for the crazy
socia ist theory that wealth itself is a
crime; that property is theft;'' that
the rich man is necessarily and Justly
without honor. 1t is not because Jaw
Gould was rich that he lived unrespect-
ed and died unregretted. It is not even
because he used his wealth selfshly,
employing it neither in charity nor in
industry, nor in public enterprise, nor
in that private extravaganza and luxury
which confers an indirect benefit by
employing labor. The mere miser is an
object of public contempt; but not OF
the aggressive and acrid detestation
which Jay Gould inspired. He lived
and died in dishonor, not because he
was rich, but because his riches were
ill-gotten. He was hated because he
took money from others, by means not
the less immoral because the law cannot
reach and punish him. He was detest-
ed because his exceptional case demon
strated the French paradox; because
his property was THEFT The publiC
judgment that held him unworthy oi
honor was none the less true in its dis
criminat:on, between him and other
men no less wealthy, than in the esti-
mate it made of himself. Riches are
not immoral in themselves. Selfish use
of riches is contemplate, but not detest-
able. The only rich man held in just
and lasting dishonor is he who gets his
riches dishonorably."
