HER FIGHTING QUALITIES.
Those of the Steamer New York
Have Been Officially Determined.

| The fighting qualities of the
American liner New York have been
officially determined. She has been
inspected at New York by Naval
Constructor Fernald, and he mas
stated that she will make a first
class commerce destroyer. Accord
ing to Mr.. Griscom, president of the
steamship company, the inspection
was to find out whether the New
York was able to carry the guns re-
quired by the Government. She
was thoroughly examined, and her
owners are satisfied that she meets
every requirement of tie law.
"The chief matter of inspection, "
said Mr.. Griscom, twas the support
of the guns. AS the New York can
carry ten 6-inch rifled cannon and
a secondary battery, and the Gov
eminent require only four, there
can be no difficulty on that score"
Mr.. Fernald said that after ex-
amining her structural strength,
engine rooms, foundation for guns,
steering and anchor gear, he found
her able to carry ten 6-inch cannon
and corresponding secondary bat
terry. Her speed has been sufi-
GENTLY tested by her transatlantic
voyages.
The inspection was made to carry
out the Act of March 3, 1891, in
order to get the mail contracts
awarded.
The new mail subsidy act goes
into effect on October 18th. Be-
fore that time the St. Louis, the
st. Paul, which is not yet COM
pleted, and the Paris will have
been inspected by the government
for this service. The st. Paul is
expected to be finished by October
9th. She will not be used at once
for the mail service, as she will
not ply between Southampton and
New York, the regular mail route.
The pay for carrying the mails will
be based upon mileage and not
weight. The price fixed is Sd a
statute mile. AS there are fifty-two
trips a year, this will amount to
$4,000 annually, more than one
half the appropriation for the whole
foreign mail service.
The testing of the speed of the
big new liner st. Louis will take
place in English waters.
The next Congress will be called
upon to supply the ornaments, so
that the new merchant steamships
may be ready for any emergency
of war.

BRAVE AMERICAN SAILORS.
They Pat Out a Fire on a Chinese
Merchant Steamer.

WASHINGTON, July 3.-Delaware
Kemper, Consul of the United States
at Annoy, China, has reported to the
State Department the gallant conduct
of two boats crews from the United
States gunboat Machias in supressing
a fire on the Chinese merchant
steamer Taichong, in Annoy harbor.
On the afternoon of April Goth the
Taichong, which had lately arrived
from the United States with a cargo
of kerosene, was observed from the
Machias to be on fire. Commander
Houston at once sent two boats crews
under charge of Ensign Scales to the
assistance of the imperilled vessel.
On getting aboard they found the
officers and men to be thoroughly
demoralized in the face of the rapidly
gaining flames. "But taking charge
themselves" says Mr.. Kemper, "their
alacrity and energy under Mr.. Scales
cool and wise direction succeeded in
suppressing the fire, thereby averting
not only the loss of the Taichong and
her cargo, but possibly calamitous
results to other ships"
The German Consul at Annoy sent
note of thanks TO Commander
Houston.

a Model Plant is not complete without
Electric Power, thus dispensing with
small Engines.
Why not generate your power from
one CENTRAL Station One generator
can furnish power to your Pumps, Centri-
fugals, Elevators, Flows, Railways and
Hoists; also furnish light and power for
a radius of from Is to 20 miles.
Electric Power being used saves the
labor of hauling coal in your field, also
water, and does away with hing priced
engineers, and only have one engine to
look after in your mill.
Where water power is available, il
costs nothing to generate Electric Power.
THE HAWAIIAN ELECTRIC COMPANY is
now ready to furnish Electric Plants

Proposed Confederate Monu-
ument in New York.
d SHAFT Fftty-Stg Feet High, the
Gift Of Nh. Charles Broadauay
RouSs, to be Erected.

Correspondence of the Richmond Dispathh.l
New YORK, Oct. 19.4Throughout
the South there are many monuments
to the Confederate soldiers, but only
one stands in the North, and that is
in Chicago. Within few months q
Confederate monument is to be
raised in New York city. 1t will be
erected by the Confederate Veterans
camp of New York city, and is the
gift of Charles Broadway Rouss, a
member of the camp. The project
originated with Colonel A. q. Dick
inson, the commander of the camp,
several months ago, when he i'm
pressed upon the camp the necessity
of securing burial-place for the
members of the camp and their fam
lilies. Colonel Dickinson, assisted
by committee, composed of j. b.
wilkinson and A. r. Chrisolm, ac-
cepted from the Mount Hope Gene
terry Association the gift of hand
some plot, containing 5000 square
feet, located in the most desirable
part of the cemetery, and from Mr..
Rouss the gift of So, 900 for a monu-
ment.
The monument will be simple and
symmetrical, and about Sc feet high.
The obelisk or shaft will be AZ feet
high, and will weigh Sc tons. The
pedestal will be 8 feet high, and
composed of three stones, weighing
so tons, making the total weight of
the monument over 100 tons. The
material will be of the best Vermont
granite, and will be furnished by
Messrs. c, E. Taynor & Co., who
have taken such an interest in the
work that they have agreed for the
$4,000 given by Mr.. Rouss to fur
nish monument that is acturlly
worth much more than that amount.
Before next Decoration-Day it will
be completed, and on that day for
maily dedicated. Northern veterans
in the vicinity of New York have
already notified the camp of their
desire to be present and assist the
Confederate veterans in the cere-
monies attending the dedication, and
the event will be one that will more
closely unite the North and South.
