THE PEOPLES CHOICE.

Some weeks since we stated that
when the proper time arrived we
would name the man who would win
in this Congressional District.
Believing that time has come. we
present the name of Hon. Steph en- B.
Elkins. There are those who say
he will not accept. but we think
differently. Let the Republicans
nominate him and our word for it we
will gain glorious victory on the 9th
OF November.

The seignorage bill was vetoed by
the President. Just why he did SO is
not clear unless he wished to impress
his bullheadedness more fully upon the
country. 1t was harmless creature,
could have injured no one, and might
have been Of benefit to some. Elect
ed by silver men, he worships gold.
There was silver plank in the plat
form upon which he ran, but he ig-
nores it and sets up a golden calf and
calls upon all good Democrats to wor-
ship it, and they meekly bend the

Gus at Albany, n. Y. a number of the

certain dignitaries of his church. He
is the man who kept "Old Glory" fly-

war, and he loves the public schools
as ardently as he does his country. 1t
is needless to add that he was chosen
by the caucus.

probably be used only to a very limited
extent for water ballast. The interior OF
the ship is divided into nine water-tlght
compartments, without any doors or
openings whatsoever in the intervening
bulkheads. This feature of the cons true
tion absolutely eliminates what Mr..
Cramp calls "the human factor" and, by
preventing the leaving open of bulkhead
doors IN cases of emergency, renders the
ship absolutely unsuitable. More than
that, if cut in two by collision 1t is not
too much to say that the separated halves
would float Independently of each other.
The original features in the hulls affect
the stability of the ships and their cargo
carrying capacity. Every transatlantic
liner of English build afioat depends on
water ballast for her stability. Two very
serious objections are involved in the Eng
llsh method OF construction. In the first
place the ship is liable to capsize if any
thing interferes with the working of the
mechanism for supplying the water bal
last. In the second place. the provision
made for water ballast space materially
reduces the cargo-carrying capacity of the
vessel As result of the different meth
DDS of construction embodied in these
ships they will carry a great deal more
cargo than either the Paris or the New
in dimensions, nearly If not quite as much

WASHINGTON, Nov. 12.-The Japanese
legation has not received. up to noon to-
day, official confirmation of the capture of
Port Arthur. The legation people say, how
ever, that if Port Arthur has fallen it will
be the most disastrous blow China has re-
ceiyed. Counselor Stevens of the lega-
tion said that Port Arthur had been pro-
nounced mpregnable by naval experts of
Germany. Ii Hung Chang had built there
modern gun factories which rivaled those
OF the Krupps. It is in some respects
similar to the Brooklyn OIL Norfolk Navy
yard, although three times greater.
Moreover, Ii Hung Chang has centered
there the pick of the Chinese army.
1t is pointed out that the capture, If
effected, is mainly important in giving the
Japanese fortifcatiOn inside of China,
from which they cannot hereafter be dis
lodged. The japanese soldiers will un-
doubtedly make the place a depot of
operations. and il will also afford pro-
t'cted shelter for the japanese feet. The
gun factories, which have been the chief
reliance Of Ii Hung Chang. would hence
forth be at the service of Japan.

SHE LEADS THE WORLD.
Some Figures on the Biggest Ship
Ever Launched in America.

When, little more than year ago, the
Paris and the New York were, by special
act of Congress, transferred from the Eng
lish to the American flag, stipulation
was entered into by the International
Navigation Company that two ships of as
great, If not greater, tonnage should be
built in this country for the American
line. That company accordingly made a
contract with the Cramps for the construc-
ton of TWO ships.
The st. Louis is the first of these, and
the second. the St. Paul, is also fast ap-
preaching com DletioD. and Will be launched
in about two months. The second is of
the same size, and in everv respect an ex-
act duplicate of the first. The st. Louis is
more than twice as large as any steamship
hitherto built in America. She is more
than three times the size of the Indiana or
any other member of the quartet built at
