The Democratic state Committee Talks
About it's Rules.
The Democratic State Central Commit
tee met to-day at headquarters, "A North
Main street, to discuss the rules, over
which there has been SO much conten-
tion. The country members were sup
posed TO be coming to the city to oppose
the new rules aud although there were
not s. many OF them present as was ex-
pected they did not disappoint anyone in
the matter of opposing the rules.
Mr.. McNally WIS on haud and so was
Col. OReilly, but cX- Mayor Carroll was
as conspicuous for his absence as he was
at the banquet of the Providence Democ-
racy last evening, when all the other
"exs" were onshand.
Jlmes 4. Monaghan was there as Mr.
McNally's right hand bower, and the
rank and file was there. too. The ses sion
btgan at III o'clock and at 12 Mr.. Nc
Nally took n recess for short time. On
leaving the room he said that they were
discussing the rules. There was no op-
position to them, but he could not say
what the result would be.
Another member less known 10 fame
than Mr.. McNally came out aud he, like
Mr.. McNally, said the rules were y hat
was worrying them. The couutry mem
bers were there aud they were opposing
most everything. He was tired himself
aud WAS going home.
Chairman Owen said after the meeting
that the committee adopted the rules
leaving II for the town committees to APP
prove them.

The CRUISER DETROIT.


Another Fine Warshfp Soon 10 Take
Her Place tn the Navy.
One of the handsomest ships In the
new United States Navy will be the
Cruiser Detroit, which IL now nearing
completion at the Columbia Iron Works,
Baltimore, Md, and, it is expected, will
be ready to 60 into commission January
81. She is a sister ship TO the Montgom-
cry, the contract for which was also let
to the Columbia Iron Works.
The Detroit has a displacement OF 1000
tons. Her dimensions are as follows:
Length on load line, PSI feet; extreme
beam, 81 feet; normal draught of water,
IA 1-2 feet; maximum horsepower under
forced draft, 8, 400; speed contracted for,
II knots. Her sail power will be two
masts, rugged schooner type, with q
square sail on the fore mast having a
canvas spread OF $3.50 square feet. She
has Q water-tight deck, extending the
entire length of the vessel. The sides OF
this deck are about four feet below the
water line and the center is at or a little
below the water load line. They have an
extra long forecastle and poop deck,
under the ends OF which are spaces sllot-
ted for working the broadside guns and
torpedo apparatus. The Detroit has an
open gun deck, the poop and forecastle-
deck being connected by a bridge
extending fore and aft, which is
something Of an innovation. Under
the water-tight deck are placed
the engine and boilers, magazines, she'll
room, steering arrangements, etc, the
space being so divided that should one
section become disabled or flooded, the
others would remain intact and be used
for the purpose intended. Extending
through the principal part of the vessel
Is centre line vertical bulkhead, which
not only helps to support the water
tight deck, but adds great strength or
"back bone" and also divides the vessel
into water-tight compartments.
The motive power is furnished by two
triple expansion, vertical, inverted and
direct acting engines, placed side by side,
but in separate water-tight compart-
ments. The cylinders are 26l1, 80 and 63
inches in diameter by 26-inch stroke, de-
signed to make 1S5 revolutions per min
ute. The circulating and air pumps are
independent of the main engines. There
are five Scotch boilers, three OF which are
double ended, horizontal, return fire tn be
type, 1sls feet long by IL feet, 8 inches
diameter, and two single-ended boilers,
8 feet long by II feet, s inches diameter,
expected to carry 100 pounds of steam.
The furnaces are placed three at each end
OF the dou uble- enders and one on each OF
the Others. The combustion in the fur
nac>s at all these boilers is assisted by
forced draught, applied beneath the
CRATE bars in closed ash-pits. The nor
NAL coal supply will be 200 tons, with 4S5
tons as the fuel bunker capacity, and dis
posed SO as to protect the machinery.

Like robe Of golden glory
The level sunbeams fall.
Around my sweetheart's picture.
Which hangs against the wall.
IT'S q portrait OF q maiden,
With earnest, love-iit eyes,
That shine like those Of one who gets
A glimpse Of Paradise.
No gems bedeck her hair or throat;
No rings adorn her hands,
Clad like some sweet young saint OF old,
With girlish grace she stands.
No lines Of care are on her brow,
Her face shows naught OF sorrow,
Her past and present both conspirs
To pledge bright tomorrow.
Oh dainty girl, may tears ne'er dim
Those brown eyes true and tender,
May love be yours and crown your life,
With more than queenly splendor.

ESPECIAL TO THE NEwsl
LONDON. Jan. 10-A terrible mining
fatality happened this morning.
Thirty miners were drowned at Penz-
ance, Cornwall.
The story OF the accident is one Of the
saddest ever retailed.
The men went to their work early this
morning in one OF the lower workings Of
the mine all unconscious of the terrible
fate impending.
All were cheerful and anticipated q
happy return to the bosoms of the fami-
lies they had so pleasantly left.
The men had been at work several
hours when, without a moments warn
ing, a lake of water in an abandoned
working overhead burst through the thin
partition of soil and rock and flooded the
entire lower drift. The men were Gagged.
All possible means of egress was shut
off by the rushiag waters, aud as there
was no high protected ground available
for refuge, no hope OF their survival is
entertained.
A large force OF men has been set at
work to endeavor to effect rescue By
pumping out the flooded working.
The scenes about the mouth or the
opening to the mine beggar description.
Hundreds of men. women and children
are gathered there anxiously, desper-
ately clinging 20 the slightest hope of the
safety of their loved fathers, brothers.
husbands and sons.
But the mine officials can hold out no
hope.
