Effect Of the Meiini,c Scandal-An American
OMer ter the Splitter Collection. i

PAWs, April l6,--Thc mrlinte scandal
engrosses political attention 10 such an ex-
tent that Panama and cabinet affairs are
for the time being forgotten. There is no
longer any doubt that 1t will prove an i'm
portant factor in thickening the complica-
tons of the crisis which is steadily drawing
near.
The explanations on behalf of Freycinet
and the departments of war and justice
have entirely failed to meet the severe in
dictmcnt which has been drawn against
them. The government has ordered an in
vestigation, and the matter will be agitated
in Parliament when the Chamber meets
again, but this means nothing. as the peo-
pie long ago learned in connection with the
Panama scandal.
1t is fast becoming evident that the NELL
mite business is another move in the great
campaign against the present rotten govern
mcnt of the republic. =
These disclosures, with the exciting
events in Belgium, have spurrcd the So
cialist masses to renewed preparations for
the lst of May demonstration. Loubet last
year made all the preparations for the LIST
Of May that the authorities would make In
expectation Of n revolution. There are res
sons for believing that the government will
adopt the same precautions again.

NOW FOR The MACHlAS.
The Bath Gunboat May Earn Speed Premium
Tor Her Builders.

WASHINGTON, April lG.--Thc attention
| lately paid to larger craft like the New
York ard the Detroit has left the little
Machias, the first of the new gunboats to be
| constructed by the Bath Iron Works OF
Maine, rather in the background.
However, the preliminary run she has
just taken on the Kennebec, without any
attempt to force her, has sasisfi,d some
observers that she has good chance Of
reaching and perhaps exceeding the II
knots which her contract calls for
The Machias and Castine were provided
for by the act of Congress approved March
2, 1889. Bids were invited the November
following, and were opened in January,
1880. The lowest came from an Elizabeth
port firm, the S. l.. Moore 4 Sons Compa-
ny, which did not then have the plant re-
qulred. SO that the award went to the Bath
Iron Works, the ne xt lowest bidder, which
bad offered to construct the vessels for
S3lS 500 each, and the prescribed limit be-
lng $3.50, 900.
The contracts were dated April ~, 1890,
and required the vessels to be completed in
two wears. The Machias is over year be-
hindhand, but for various well-known
causes none of the new vessels have been
ready in the contract time. She was
launched Dec. =, 1891.
The Machias is steel gunboat 100 feet
long on the load line, with an extreme
breadth of 32 feet, mean draugh of l2
feet and a displacement of 1850 tons. Her
twin screw, vertical, triple-expansion
engines are expected to have an aggregate
of 1000 indicated horse power, and to give
her the IA knots guaranteed.
Her coal capacity will allow her to
steam 24j2 knots at her maximum, while
at 10 knots, on only 600 horse power, she
can steam 4GGs knots. The diameter of
the high-pressure cylincr is 10 "a inches :;
that of the Intermediate, 22 12; that of
the low pressure, 35 inches. The main
battery will consist of eight Al h rapid
fire guns, and in the secondary battery will
be four & FOUNDER and two l-pound rapid
fire guns, and two Ga'ings.
She has a two-mastei schooner rig, with
a square foresail, and spreads about $500
feet of canvas. The complement is $50
men. of course the arrangements for
drainage, ventilation and electrical equip
ment will! be of the hest modern sort, and
care has been paid to berthlng accommo-
dations.
The Machis is the first vessel completed
for the new steel navy in Maine, and her
name is that of a town in that State where
n small conflict occurred in the early days
of the Revolution. The Castine and the
katahdin, both nearing completion at Bath,
also bear Maine names, while the armed
hattleship now building at Brooklyn carries
the name of the same State, which accord
ingly has its full share in the nomenclature
of the new navy.
The Machias and the Castine will be very
handy for cruising IN waters where light
draught vessels are required, and, as has
been seen. v i'll carry good batteries.
