COMPROMISED ON THE PLANS.
New Battleships TO Have 400 Tons
of MACHINERY.

New Battleships to Have 100 Tons
of Machinery.
After two long sessions yesterday, the
naval board of construction decided the
last disputed point connected with the
plans for the two new battleships authorized
by the naval appropriation bill for the
current year.
This related to the weight of machinery,
Chief Constructor Hichborn contendmg
that not more than, 1000 tons weight
should be allowed, while Engineer-in-Chief
Melville held that he needed an allowance
OF 1900 tons for the machinery, in order
10 give the ships 1900 horse power and
their required speed of sixteen knots per
hour The result OF the discussion was
practically a compromise, 100 tons be-
ing allowed for the weight, and 10, 800
horse power inSuEed.b
1t was urged in behalf of the maximum
weight proposed that 1t would be unfair
to Secretary Herbert to reduce the power
of the machinery and thus place him in
jeopardy as not securing as good results in
speed and durd blIlts as that allo by
some of his predecessors, who had held the
view that ii was better TO have heavy
machinery and a Surplus of horse power,
rather than narrow both down to the
finest estimates of the requirements.
Secretary herbert VIII have TO pass upon
the recommendation Of the board He has
already approved the view of 4 majority
of ats members that the new gunboats should
have the innovation OF double-decked or
two-story turrets, armed by 13inCh and
S-inch guns
The report TO the Secretary, recommend
ing the conclusions reached by the board
yesterday, viii also contain recommen-
dation that the armored belt around each
ship shall not extend more than five feet
six inches below the water line when the
ship has twenty-five feet draft.

Coming as il does upon the recent noto-
rious murder trial in Lunenburg, where
l20 Soldiers.W .Were sent from Richmond to
protect the three prisoners from being

SUCCESS
DR.. Walkers Success Continues.
There Is a Reason For 1t.

Success breeds success and the flunker
becomes a chronic failure. Many young
men make failure of life because OF some
physical defect that DR.. Walker could easily
remove and permanently relieve.
There is no doubt that physician who
makes a life study of certain ailments, as
DR.. Walker has dene, for "a years, or
nervous, brain, and chronic diseases, is
better qualified to treat and cure them than
the general practitioner, who endeayors to
cover the whole wide range of complaints
that affect humanity.
Young or middle-aged men suffering from
the effects OF their own follies, vices, or
eXcesses, or men contemplating marriage,
who are conscious of any impedlment or
disqualification, or those who feel their
youthful Vigor and power declining should
consult DR.. Walker, who has been the means
OF restoring hundreds of such unfortunates
TO health, strength, and happiness.

EDGEWOOD NOT TO BE SOLD
Mrs. Kate Chase to Retain Her
Fathers Home.
Satisfactory Arrangements Almost
Completed whereby the Debt VIII
Be Discharged In Five Years.

The arrangements for the preservation
Of historic Edge ewood to Mrs. Kate Chase
have progressed so far and so favorabIy
that there is now no doubt that the property
will be reconveyed to that lady by the
Washington Loan and Trust Company.
This company bought in the estate for
about $4,000, but in consideration of
Mrs Chase and of her father, the late chief
justice, she was given au option until
February, 1896, for a repurchase OF the
property.
Amovemcnt for the repurchase was begun
ip Ohio some time ago. among the old
friends or the chief justice, Tho was from
that State, TO raise sum as a loan to
Mrs. Chase. Their object is practically to
refund the debt of Mrs. Chase at per cent.
for five years, during which time the estate
will have reached a valuation far more
than sufficient TO discharge the debt.
An agreement to this effect was sigend
a few days ago by Mrs Chase aud certain
trustees, who are members Of the Southern
Trust Company, OF New York, Of which
Senator Brice is the vice president Other
gentlemen than Senator Brice, who have
interested themselves in the matter, are
w. C. Whitney, PaulSorg, John Wanamaker,
Oliver Payne, and Levi T. Morton.
1t was learned yesterday from con-
fidential friend OF Mrs. Chase, who is nov
in the city, that while the whole amount OF
the debt has not been guaranteed, there is
every probability that the entire matter
will be closed up shortly.
Mrs. Chase was in town yesterday morn
ing and called at the office of the Wash
ington Loan and Trust Company, and also
upon her lawyers, Messrs. Needham and
Cotton.
The statement has been published that
Mrs. Chase has resented the placing of
restrictions on her management of the
estate. One of those in interest said yes
terday that that story was "all bosh," and
was contradicted by the fact that Mrs.
Chase had signed the agreement, and that
the relations between her and the trustees
were of the most pleasant nature.
The details OF the trust contemplate not
only the eXtinguishmeut of the debt to the
Washington Loan and Trust Company, but
also a provision by which Mrs. Chase viii
/ receive certain amount of cash, all of
| which viii be amply secured by the prop
erty.
! The friends of Mrs Chase, who are with
! out number in Washington, are pleased TO
| learn of the satisfactory adjustment of her
| financial troubles aud especially that it
! enables her to retain control OF EdgewOOd.
| Mr.. John JOY Edison, the president Of the
| Washington Loan and Trust Company said
yesterday that the success of Mrs. Chase
/ in the negotiations was very gratifying TO
/ him, and to the company.
