one to which Secretary Herbert, it 10
said. proposes to give some earnest con-
sideration. Naval Constructor Hich-
born has prepared some important data
on the subject He shows that the At
lanta on her trial trip with clean bot
tom attained speed OF 1875 knots an
hour with 3,s45 horsepower. while the
Bost01, her exact duplicate, with
q comparatively foul bottom, made
but 1873 knots IN hour Construc-
torHichbDrn holds that the Importance
Of preservation Of the bottoms Of the
steamers from cor-osion and fouling
can hardly be over-estimatcd,
and Is continually emphasized by the
report o. los$ of speed and increased
coal consumption received from our
unsheathed steel vessels now in COM
mission.
Briefly stated. the advantages Of the
shcatiied bottoms are: Complete free
dom Of the wetted surface or bottom
of the ship from exterior corrosion, and,
as a consequence. longer life Of the
vessels; complete immunity from foul
ing by marine growths, either mineral
or vegeta Bile. and consequently higher
average speed. or greater efficiency As
a cruiser. Following this latter con-
sideration is the reduced amount Of
fuel necessary to cover distances at the
same speeds, being another addition to
efficiency; elimination of the fire.
quently recurring expense for dock
ing. Finally, and resulting from the
operation of previous considerations,
is the ability to keep the sea indef-
nitely with efficiency unimpaired and
the certainty of being always ready
for service, near or distant Tho
sheathed bottom of the ship never
needs to go in dock (barring accidenD
during cruise, for her bottom Is in the
same condition as that of q new

ST. PAUL. Mimi, March 27.-Two
prosecutions will be begun at once

neering the coal combine. This was
decided upon yesterday at conference
between Attorney General -Childs. Mr..
EdgertOn, his assistant, and Messrs-
Donnclly. Walsh. Portion. Boggs and

committee. One of these will be in the
state courts, and the defendants-E. N.

The penalty, in addition to the fine,
in the federal courts, is imprisonment
