Naval Officers Inspscting.

BATH, Mo, Got. 20 This was the

ment is made today that the con tracts
for material are still so far behind
hand that the launch cansot possibly
take place before December. But
the nava, officers are today making
an informal inspection of the work
and will probably provide for some
few changes. She is intended for
harbor defence and as she will be
the most formidable instrument OF
destruction on the seas, her impor-
lance can readily be seen. When In
fighting trim and at full speed, this
ram will be q veritable terror to an In
vsding fleet. Nothing more destruc-
tive can be built than her sharpe end
nurderous looking PROV. 1t is made
of steel in q single casting and weighs
fourteen tons. 1t was cast at the
Norristown steel works, Norristown,
Pa, and is the heaviest single casting
ever put into a vessels stem. 1t is
estimated that this PROV will pierce

government are sanguine that one
blow will send the biggest war ship
that floats to the bottom. With room
enough In which to gain Roadway
and to msneuvre it is claimed that
this ram could cripple an entire fleet
of invading irOnclads. Resistance
could best be offered her by torpe-
does, but as the ram will be provided
with machine guns to aid of torpe-
dy boats, she will be able to
defend herself from attack in
that direction. Her sides are protect
ed with powerful srmor and a hostile
ship would find q hand target to hit
squarely, owing to the peculiar shape.
The appearance of this formidable
engine of war is strikingly like that
of the whale back steel barges intro
duced two years ago and used In the
lake and coast carrying trade. She
might be called cigar shaped or liked
to a banana, with the curved end
turned downward. Her extreme
length on the water line is 25l feet
and her:extreme width, 435. feet. She
will be provided with every improve
ment that is known in her line and q
heavy ornament in addition to her
ram will render her o most formida-
BILE antagonist for hostile vessels.

Oppusingthe Ring.

A large number of cOIOred people of this
city met at Eureka hall last night and
organized club, which will be known as
the Anti Ring ColOred club. 1t is COM
posed of some of the leading colored citi-
ZenS of the city. who wish the general
public TO know that they do not and will
not abide by the decisions Of the cOIOred
ring supporters. who so heartily endorsed
the administration ticket at their meeting
Monday uight
Charles johnson was elected chairman
and L. Green secretary. The president
made known the object of the meeting
and called for the signatures of those who
would support their cause. Some sixty
votes pledged themselves to abide by the
conclusions formed by the club. A COM
mittee OF five was appointed to select
favorite candidates or to make up new
ticket, said committee to report at the
next meeting, which will probably be held
next Saturday night.
In speaking with Mr.. Green this morn
ing. he made the following remarks to
reporter:
I'VE are the best colored people in the
city; in factwe are the leaders and the
tax payers and we do not propose to be
forced to support ticket such as the OPP

will push things to the last with as much
vim as we possess.

Heavy Wheat KeCeipts.

ST. LOUIS, Mo-, Oct. 26.-EnOrmOus
loads of actual wheat continues to
weight the market down like a mill
stone, and prices have for futures
reached lower than ever before in the
history of st. Louis, as a grain mar
ket. No. red wheat is selling on
change at &C 3-S per bushel, while
fsvorite speculative option for Decem-
Der dropped to 703-4. This breaks all
previous records but Is not believed
to be the bottom, should enormous
receipts at this end and primary
markets continue. There seems to be
no let up on the flow of wheat
from farmers hands which has been
going on for weeks. Stocks are said
to be enormous everywhere, and con-
stantly increasing at a rate that is
truly astonishing. Receipts of wheat
are the largest on record, and yester-
day aggregated 6,228,749 bushels as
compared with 1891, 800 bushels
same time last year when
they could say was one OF the largest
ever raised in this country. That the
deluge of wheat now pouring into
spring and winte wheat markets is q
natural result Of the famous "Hold
your wheat" circular issued last year
is generally believed here. 1t is the
opinion of the trade that much of the
wheat now lying unmarketed was
held over from the crop of 1891 and was
held back by the farmers in anticipa-
ton of higher prices, which have not
been realized.
