ships ranges from 100000 to $4,000. 900.
The ships are armored with heavy plates
made in the country from the heavy 13-inch
"Mantle-ring cannon with which the
armored cannonboats are supplied, to the
small 3-inch boat cannon, all are of home
manufacture. The rapid firing cannons are
used on many of the newer ships, and all
large iron clads have two bomb batteries one
or two torpedo boats, and are provided with
all machinery necessary for carrying pow
der, heavy bombs, etc, from one part Of the
vessel to the other. Each cruiser is able to
carry coal for long distances, and has q
machine which converts salt water into
good drinking water at the rate Of 100 to
400 quarts day.

strength of the German navy one must

Racing news Of the last four weeks in

turf supporters in the capital city. The end
Of the fight between the sand feas of
Brighton Beach and the advocates Of mer-
ry-so-round racing at Clifton is looked for
by all classes Of turfmen. Representatives
Of both the Brighton Beach and Gloucester
associations have attempted repeatedly to
secure the Pimlico track at Baltimore for
the purpose of winter racing. Be it said
to the credit of Col. Hoff and his associates
that they refused to have anything to do
with them. Winter racing is not popular
In the north, and no matter where the per-
ing into discredit attempt to push their
plans to race day after day In all sorts Of
weather, turfmen who love racing as a
sport have made such determined oppo-
sition that the schemes of those who have
disgraced the turf in the neighborhood of
this city have been foiled 1t is a pity that
such great sport as racing should be
placed in this ludicrous position by a class
of men who have neither a reputation for
honesty in their own class nor the slightest
position in any grade of society

the Kiel harbor was ten million dollars.

Russian frontier.
Ready for War.
Both Wilhelmshafen and Kiel are well
supplied with naval officers and seamen
who are ready for war at a moments no.

and Wilhelmshafen has a smaller division.
At both places are divisions Of naval ar
tillery. while a third Is kept in reserve, and
a fourth will soon be sent to Cuxhafen. At
Wilhelmshafen there are now eight large
ironclads, eleven armored vessels, twelve
protected cruisers. three cannon boats, four
dispatch boats, two Scholarships and three
vessels for other uses. At Kiel are twelve
ironclad ships. six cruisers. four dispatch
boats and five vessels for other purposes.
