y dispach from London says that
the new Cunarder Campania is soon
to have rival in White Star vessel
designed to be larger, swifter and in
every way more remarkable. Her
builders are making great secret Of
her construction and all information
is withheld. However, it has leaked
out that she is to be called the Gigan-
tic. While the Campania, the largest
vessel now afloat, is $40 feet long, six
ty-five feet beam and of 10000 horse
power, the new Gigantic will be larger
than the Great Eastern. Her dimen-
sions are to be 700 feet in length, six
I
power. She will therefore be eight
feet longer than the Great Eastern,
but fifteen feet less in breadth. The
horse power of the Great Eastarn's
engines, however, was less than 5000.
While the TeutOnic, Majestic, New
York and Paris have accomplished an
average rate of twenty knots across
the Atlantic, the Campania and the
Lucania are expected to do twenty
three, but at one bound the Gigantic
is to run at n speed of twenty-seven
knots an hour, so that the voyage
from Queenstown to Sandy Hook will
be reduced to about 100 hours or just
over four days.
NEW YORK, April 30.-The great

J. c.. Carter, counsel for the United
States in the seal arbitration matter,
has finished his statement of the posi-
ton of this government. The speech
occupied in all forty hours and was a
grand effort. In his peroration Car
ter described the slaughter of the
female seals, heavy tn unborn
young, and other horrsS.s of pelagic
sealing. To prevent these horrors
and protect the seal herds the United
States had taken position which he
had explained to the best of his abil-
ity. The United States had taken
this position at the risk of war with
ready to maintain their position and
thus discharge their duties to human
ity, even if they were obliged TO face
half the world in arms. History
would recognize their rights and JUS
tice their cause The duty of the
United States was not eXtinguished
by the reference of the dispute to the
tribunal, but it had been merely
transferred. The United States had
and left to arbitrator the
sacred duty of forbidding pelagic seal
ing and combining seal-killing to the
islands. If the tribunal should de-
cline to assume that duty, it would
only leave for pOsterity new causes
for contention.
