A VERY GRAVE S'FRP. /.
officials at Washington Look Upon the
Offer Of Mediation Between China
and Japan In That Light.
HAWAIIAN MATTER SMALL.
japan Has Not Yet Signiied Her Ac-
ceptance, But Is Hourly Expected
to DO So.

WASHINGTON, Nov. H. up to noon,
Japan had not accepted the offer of the
United States to act as mediator In the
war between Japan and China. Lengthy
cablegrams are passing, however, be-
tween the Japanese capital and Wash
ington, with prospect that q final de-
cision viii not be long deferred. A
cable from the japanese authorities has
been received asking for more explicit
details. A lengthy answer was sent,
giving not only the desired details, but
adding features which it is believed will
show the japanese government the de-
STABILITY of the arrangement.
China has already formally notified
Secretary Gresham that she will join
Japan in acknowledging the independ-
ence OF Corea, and will also pay cash
indemnity. The amount she will pay
is not specified.
Very Grave Step.
1t is felt in official circles here that
the gravity of the action taken by the
United States is not yet tully realized
by the public, as it conteRplates for
eign policy to which the Hawaiian in
cident is said to be trif1ing in compari-
son. Should Japan and China accept
the United States as mediator it win
close the greatest war since the Franco
Prussian conflict, and this country
will, for the first time, occupy COM
handing position in deciding Asiatic
questions, which have heretofore had
the attention of European powers only.
at present the European powers are en-
deayoring to reach an agreement
among themselves, by which they will
forcibly intervene. Five days agu
France presented proposition to Sec
retary Gresham to join in foreign In
teryention. This was rejected, as the
proposition of Great Britain had been.
While the European powers are thus
arranging the details OF their interyen.
tion, the United States
Comes Forward independently
of the foreign powers and offers to act
as mediator if China and Japan request
this service. In view OF the avarice to
secure new territory which is believed
to inspire the European powers it il
felt by officials and diplomats here that
Japan viii accept the mediation OF the
United States, although the hesitation
OF the Toxic authorities Ii taken 10 in.
dicate that they want China to fix the
exact figures OF the. cash indemnity
which cannot be, in the Judgment OF
those posted, less than 500, 200, 900.
Japan's final reply Is expected almost
hourly. II favorable, as il anticipated
here, an armistice would undoubtedly
be proclaimed by both countries, and
the battling about Port Arthur, with
and Moukden will terminate. M

Big American Ship Gracefully Glides
Into the Water From the Ways
at Cramps SSipyards.
NAMED BY MRS. CLEVELAND.
The Biggest and Most Powerful Boat
in the World With But Two
Exceptions.

PHILADELPHIA, Nov. 13.-At 1:O2 D.
m. the magnificent steamship ST. Louis,
of the American line, was successfully
launched at Cramps shipyard The
affair was witnessed by fully $4,000
people. Mrs. Cleveland, wife of the
president, broke the traditional bottle
of champagne on the bow of the noble
ship as she glided down the ways, at
the same time uttering these words:
Il christen thee st. Louis"
In this instance, and for the first
time since the ceremony was inaug-
urated at Cramps shipy ard, the cham
pagne was of American manufacture.
All preparations for the launch had
been carefully made, and although the
ship is 120 feet longer than any that
has ever been launched at the yard, the
difficult feat of getting vessel from
the ways into the water was accom-
plished without hitch.
After the launch the invited guests
to the number of 400 were entertained
at lunch in the office of the ship
builders.
Only Two Bigger Boats.
Charles FL. Cramp, in his speech of
welcome to President Cleveland, said
that with two exceptions the st. Louis
is the largest and most powerful ship
i'll the world. He referred to the prog
ress of ship building under the Cleve-
land administration, and credited to
his policy the fact that such wonderful
results have been accomplished i'm
America The St. Louis, he said, is
built ON American plans, by American
workmen and of American material.
Twenty-six ships were recommended
by Mr.. Cleveland and authorized by
congress. Concluding, he said that
while there may be honest differences
on other questions, national approval of
Mr.. Cleveland's vigorous and patriotic
naval policy will always be unani-
nous.
Description Of the Big Steamer.
The st. Louis is chiefly remarkable in
that she is the first modern marine
structure of anything approaching her
dimensions built in this country. She
will also be the pioneer i'm what prom
ises to become In time spirited contest
between the English built ocean grey
hounds and those which will be turned
ont from American shipyards. When
completed she will take her place
among the vessels owned by the Inter
national Navigation company, which
includes the Paris, New York and st.
Paul, the latter being in process of con-
struction in the yards Of the Cramp
company.
The work of constructing the Sc.
Louis was begun by the builders ON
July ~, 1893, just Is months and the
same number OF days prior to launch
ing. More than 5000 tons OF steel have
already been worked into the mammoth
steamer which, when completed, viii
exceed in length and tonnage both the
New York and Paris and equal any
other transatlantic liner. Her length
over all is 554 feet, 2 inches; length be-
tween perpendiculars 536 feet, = inches;
extreme breadth 63 feet, depth moulded
AZ feet, number of decks 5, depth of
water bottom feet, number of princi-
pal water tight compartments II, dis
tance of collision bulkhead abaft of
stem 80 feet. ~.-.
