ANGRY GEOaGiANS
At the Way Iney Nave Been Deceived BY Prom

ATLANTA, April THE Georgians al

on in Washington. Is. NJ. Blackburn, the
original Cleveland man IN Georgia, who
wanted the mission to Japan, was knoe ked

was made that the President had again

been shattered" and to Secretary Smith
the statement is directly made that his con

District Attorney James has shed some
light on this alleged deal, from which II ap-
pears that it was "A postappointmen deal

THF BEROAN iR0NclAD DESTROYER.
A Fast krmored Vessel With hydraulic But.
fer and Submarine Gun.

WASHINGTON, April THE sudden
death of Gen. II. Berdaa may bring under
public discussion the peculiar device he has
been working on, of semi-submarire YES
sci, ended for the destruction of hostile
ironelads. A bill, in fact, was introduced at
the late session of Congress TO authorize
him to build such craft, but with so hide
left of the life of that Congress. the bill
served mostly to put the subject in shape
for future discussion.
However, AS the new device is in the
hands of the Rerian Manufacturing Com
pany of New York, it may be heard from
hereafter The vessel Is to be perhaps
2t0 feet long by 40 feet beam and l6 feet
draught, with displacement of 2f00 tons.
Ii is to have low deck, armored with
nick el steel hydraulic buffer for protect
for machine guns.
Under the buffer is to be 2f-inch gun,
or tube, 20 feet long, designed to throw IA
proiectile containing 200 pounds of wet gun
cotton into an ironelad, aud there explod-
ing il by time fuse. The vessel is To be
driven by engines of 7.j00horse power at
speed of not less than 20 knots.
The bill introduced into Congress pro-
posed to pay 81 200 ,00o for this craft apart
from any allowance for Extra speed, with
corresponding abatement for less speed
than 20 knots, 1t proposed that the builder
should be in all respects satisfactory to the
secretary Of the navy or that the vessel
might be bnilt in a government shipyard.
The builders, in fact, were to be the well
knoan firm of Cramp K Sons of Philadel
phia In letter 10 the Senate committee
on naval affairs Mr.. G.. II. Cramp made
some comparisons TO show why
the proposed cost must be
regarded rs a minimum as well as maxi
mum. The Marblelicad, he SAID, of 400
tons less displacement, 1900 less horse
power. three knots less speed, no protec-
tive deck, and no submarine gun. and only
Il light corning tower, had a contract price
of So II 900.
Again, the Apmen. a ram of IL tons less
displacement. 200 less horse power, three
knots less speed, and no submarine gun o.
hydraulic buffer, is TO cost 1886, 900. In
this last case, said Mr.. Cramp, the differ
ence IN cost would nearly, if not quite, be
consumed in attaining the excess in speed,
leaving little or nothing for the increased
size and the cost of the gun and the buffer.
