NEW BATTLESHIP DESIGNS.

Washington, June 21.-The new bat
teships for which building proposals will
be invited in a day or two will follow
the general design of the Iowa rather
than that of the Kcarsarge and Ken
lucky, except that the distribution of
armor will be as in the latter ships. This
is in accordance with the report of the
board which recently made its report of
the batteries of the battleships. as also
the arrangement of the battery. The
Kearsarge and Kentucky have double
story turrets, the S-inch guns being
above and revolving with the 13-inch
ones in the lower turrets. The board
did not approve of this arrangement and
recommended turrets only for 13-inch
guns. and that no S-inch guns be fitted.
but in their stead large number of
rapid firing 6-inch guns. which they be-
lieve will be quite as effective and which
gives Il distribution of battery in keep
ing with foreign practice. The board
has also recommended that the designed
draught and displacement of the ships
should be more nearly the draught and
displacement they will have when ready
for sea than has been the case in former
designs.

KNEW WHAT THEY WANTED.
A Williamson County Senatorial Dele
gate Makes Il Statement.

Georgetown. Tex. June 21.-(Special.l
Williamson county delegates say that
the reports in the daily press OF the sena-
torial convention held in Austin on the
18th do not present Il correct statement
of the action of the Williamson county
delegation on the silver question. The
intimation that the Williamson crowd
did not know exactly what they were
there for is, so they say. wide of the
facts in the case.
Mir. j. +. Taulbec. one of the William
son delegates. who was present at the
convention. gave the Statesman re-
porter the following, which he says is n
correct statement of the situation at
that particular stage of the convention,
when action on the silver question was
taken. He said:
after the nomination of DR.. Yeti, for
whom the Williamson county delegation
were instructed and for whom they had
voted, and after he had made free
spokesman of the Travis county deleSa-
ton. offered the resolution, which was
finally adopted, instructing the nominee
to support no candidate for United
States senator save one i'll favor of the
free and unlimited coinage of silver, ut
the ratio of 16 to /.
This resolution was opposed by the
Williamson county delegation. on Nne
grounds that it was premature and that
there would be another convention be-
tween this and the time for the election
of United States senator. The point
was made by those who advocated the
adoption of the resolution that the con-
ventiOn should declare for free silver.
Thereupon member of the Williamson
county delegation offered as Il substitute
for the Swearingen resolution rcsolu-
ton declaring for the free and unlimited
coinage of silver at the ratio of 16 10 l.,
which substitute was accepted by DR..
Swearingen. but DR.. Field. also of
| Travis, objected and moved that the sub
sttute be laid on the table, which was
done. by the unanimous vote of Travis
and Burnet counties. Williamson voting
against it. Then the original resolu-
ton was carried by the vote of Travis
and Burnet.
| THE Williamson county delegates
were Disguised, but not at their own
action"
