BUILDING BATTLEsHlPs.
Navy Department Arranging to pu,
Out Many Advertisements.

Washington, June 18.-Within ten days
the navy department will put out .adver-
tisements calling for proposals for build
ing three great battleships, three torpedo
boat destroyers and ten torpedo boats for
which congress has provided in the naval
app%ropriat bill. This is unexampled
record for ~forehandedness in the prepar-
atoms of designs and the fixing of the
features of the craft to be built. In their
main features the battleships will be made
up of a combination of the plans of the
Massachusetts and the Kearsarge, but
many important changes have been made
in the details and especially In the bat
teries. The greatest novelties will be the
thirty-three knot torpedo Destroyer
which will inauEurate a new class in the
United States navy. The purpose of the
navy department is. so far as possible, in
the way of encouragement of American
designers and constructors. by allowing
the widest latitude In the design of these
craft. In some measure this course Is
made necessary by the reluctance of boat
builders to undertake the construction of
such craft. of which such remarkable
power and speed are required, without
being freed of al possible restrictions.
Therefore the advertisements of the de-
partment will fix only generally the re-
quirements in the case of these boats. The
tonnage Will be fixed closely in the neigh
borhood of 800. This, it is expected, will
lead to the submission of plans closely re.
sembling those of the famous Russian tor
pedo destroyer Suket, which easily ran
over thirty knots on trial. This means
that the boats will be about $50 feet long
by 20 feet in breadth, with a draught of 5
feet, . inches. To obtain the great speed
required, 1t is estimated. will call for the
supply of machinery equal to the devel-
opment of nearly 5000 horse power.
The ten smaller boats will not tax the
constructors SO greatly, because the speed
requirements are more reasonable, being
fixed at twenty knobs.

EDITOR BURNELL GUILTY..
The Court Refuses to Sustain u Mo-
ton for a New Trial.

Des Moines, Ia, June 15.-Albert s.,
Burnell of Marshalltown was found
| guilty by a jury in the federal court
Saturday of mailing improper literature
through the malls. Burnell is the editor
and proprietor of a paper published at
Marshalltown known as the Interstate
Tracer. Suit was brought by the gov
eminent to prevent HIM from sending his
paper through he mails for the reason
that 1t was claimed that all his papers
were defamatory. The paper is pub
lished In the interest of business men.
| purporting to keep them posted on the
deadbeats of each own Two count
We're returned against him by the grand
jury, but they We're substantially the
same thing. The jury returned a YER
diet of guilty on the second count. The
defendant Immediately filed a motion
for q new trial. Judge Holmes reviewed
the case at great length in a speech in
court, ending UP with a refusal for the
present to arrest judgment or to grant
a new trial. The defendant will have
until Tuesday, however, to give addi-
tional reasons why a new trial should
be granted.
Burnell was convicted once before in
the federal court, and 1t Is probable that
this will nave weight with he court in
pronouncing sentence. The penalty is
not more than five years in Jail and not
more than 5000 fine. 1t is thought that
Judge Woolson will not inllict a Jail
sentence.
Judge Woolson will rule Tuesday
morning on the nation for q new trial
entered by Sam Mash. Much interest
Is being taken in the flnal disposition of
| the case
