DRAFT AND SPEED LESS.
Chief Constructor Hichborn Talks
of the New BattIeships.

Shel SOuStTuctOI hNhDOFh laihs
of the New Battleships.
New York, Nov. 13.-The Society of
Naval Architects and Marine Engineers
began its second days session today. With
the reading of the last paper this afternoon
the business of the convention ends
A banquet will be held at Delmonico's to-
night, mt which Secretary of the Navy Her
bert will be the guest of honor.
Chief Constructor Philip Hichborn of
the United States navy opened the session
morning with a paper describing in de-
tail the new battleships OF the Alabama
class.
The principal restriction in the design
of war vessels hitherto, said, Mr.. Hich-
born, was the shallowness OF American
harbors, which put an absolute Limitation
upon the draught OF vessels of the navy.
In spite of the complications attending such
a design the new ships will have draught
of only twenty-three feets six inches at their
normal displacement, with all outfit and
two thirds supply OF stores, ammunition,
etc., on board, and 500 tons of coal in the
bunkers.
LAS in all recent designs OF battle
ships" said Mr.. Hichborn. for the United
States Navy, moderate speed only has
been attempted, as it has generally been
held in this country that the high speeds
aimed at by some foreign navies were not
desirable in battleships, when obtained by
sacrificing other and more essential quail
tiles.
For this reason the designed speed
Of our recent battleships is more than a
knot less than that required for some new
foreign designs, but this speed is still
much greater than will ever be employed
in fleet tactics or 10 the actual opera
tions OF war. In fleet tactics with battle
ships the speed has rarely exceeded IL
knots"
He told Of the protection to the hull,
engine room and coal bunkers, and sail:
I'm the character and arrangement of the
battery Of the Alabama class decided
changes have been made from the designs
Of former ships OF this type in our service.
Only two calibers Of heavier guns have
been used, namely, 13-inch and 6-inch-

heavy inroads upon
the usuallargc Demo-
cratic ma jorities, are significant in that

domination" Therecan be no question that
but for the apprehension of an undue pre-
ponderance of the colored people in public
affairs the South would long ago have
ceased to hang together, irrespective Of
policies that otherwise could not but ad-
-antage its material interests. Thus, for
instance, there is in the South notably. in
manufacturing Sta,eslike Virginia, Georgia
and Alabama, a strong sentiment in favor
OF a reasonably protective tariff. but it has
been repressed and kept in the back
ground because of the apprehension that an
alignment with Republican protectionists
would give the colored voters too powerful
an influence in the administration of pub
lie affairs. To this fear can also be ascribed
the barcfaccd election frauds which have
occurred in that section, and the only
apology for which has been that they were
committed in the interest of the supremacy
of the whites.
The new issue, however, thrust upon
the South in common with other
sections of the country has served to
weaken the foundations of that solidty
which it had presented all these years.
The menace of n deprecated currency and
OF all the ills following in its wake opened
the eyes of the Southern people and made
them see that there were dangers ahead far
more grave than the supposed supremacy of
the colored race. 1t was enough to ca,ise
them to break the fetters Of prejudice and
tradition 50 effectually as to put three
hitherto sUlidly Democratic States In the
Republican column. When time viii have
demonstrated that this break has not re-
suited in giving the colored people undue
prominence or power, 9TH ars of the S"ith-
ern States VIII conclude to be Influenced
by other considerations than the one that
has dominated them for over a quarter Ofa
century. The first breach in the solid South
has been made. 1t would be more than
strange If Others do not follow.

RETURN
TO
SAVAGERY.

OF popular indignation, and placed ii where
1t belongs-in the category of brutal, COW
irdly murder. Judge Henderson says
Iynching is "a crime which undermines
the foundations of civil government and is
a return to or possibly a survival of the
savage idea which demands the immediate
forfeiture of a life in return for life taken,
without waiting for condemnation and ex-
ecution by the processes of law. Its prac-
tice is demoralizing to courts, juries and
the public Inorals.''
There was no excuse, palliation, or miti-
cation possible for the lyncbing OF the
negro Sidney Randolph, which WIS the
particular case referred to by Judge Hcnder-
Son. The man was safe in prison; his
con nuection with the attack upon the
Buxton family was not at all established;
If subsequent investigation or his trial had
proved him guilty, his death upon the
gallows would have been as certain as
anything can be. Yet the man was taken
from Jail by a 'band OF lawbreakers.''
"a small party Of organized conspirators,"
who ''under cover of darkness and disguise
committed the dastardly deed
1t was indeed "a willful, deliberate, cru,i,
cowardly and treacberous murder" Fur
ther OH the judge declared that If Of

A RIDICU-
LOUs
SITUATION.

crematory over a matter OF dollars and
cents, and the possible, If not probable,
consequence will be the cloeing of the
furnace. and necessarily a return to the
primitive method of shipping the stuff
down the river. This, of course, is not
the only city that has trouble In the matter
Of garbage disposal, but it is safe to say
that the difficulties there do not rest upon
such ridiculous ground as squabble be-
tween a contractor and one of his employees,
for in that relation the crematory owners
stand to him.
A simple way exists to prevent repeti-
ton of this state of affairs, which is g.
gravated by the fact that the District
appears TO be bound by contract running
several years. and 1t seems that this agree
ment cannot be abrogated by the District,
and that its people must "grin and bear
it," The passage of an act granting the
Commissioners authority to do all public
work by day labor would afford the needed
relief With such a law on the statute
books the Commissioners could erect their
own crematory, employ their own gar

Of the petty quarrels of contractors The
present situation is intolerable. The mere
contemplation of the possibility of an i'm
portant public service being interrupted
and whole community Inconvenience and
made ridiculous by such an occurrence is
calling and humiliating. Some way must
be found out Of the tangle, and it must be
a way, too, that will suit the people of the
District, and not the garbage contractor. II
a law were passed, such as is indicated
above, and which is even now pending in
Congress, the Commissioners would be mas
ters of the situation. They wouldthen be in
position to brogate the present contract,
on the ground OF noncompliance With its
terms and snpulations. and themselves
do the work thoroughly and effectively.
