THE NEW-Y YORK TIMES,

THE TIMES is newspaper for intelligent men and women who want to read all the news of the world every day. The papzr has distin- gushing merits of its own. It is neither sen sational nor dull. It is not sour tempered. It is not frivolous or visionary. It seesplenty of good in the world and tells about it. It tells of the bad when it must but not unwhOlesomely. It prints with fuilness the record of human en- deavor ill many fields outside ot business, poli- tics, and war-in literature, religion, science, art, sports, and household matters. No paper in the country prints so many book revlews and so much book news. No pape has so complete financial page-a daily manual for investors and officers of financial ins itutions. Its mar ket reports-wool. cotton, breadstuffs. farm produce, &c.-sre the best in the country.
 The Democracy of The Times is Of the old fashioned sort-as old as Thomas Jefferson majority rule; no bossism, no machine tyranny, the divorce of politics from private money

New York, Dec. 5.-Dullness was the
chief chara Cteristic of the stock market
again this morning. The undcrtonc. how

chases by the room-traders to even up

was on "A small scale. The Grangers, Trunk

Stocks in the closing hour of business
Were very irregular. Chicago Gas made a
further slight advance, selling up to II

took 5000 shares of the stock. The grang-

during the night at his room in the
Putnam House by inhaliDg gas. lie was
found dead this morning. He had made
certain Of death by stuffing with paper the
keyhole and seams of the door of his room
and also fastening the window tightly.
Lovejoy had peculiar history. During
the quarter of a century that he was in
country. lie was special friend Of Blaine,
Grant, and Garfield. Whenever Grant
stopped at the hotel Lovejoy was detailed
as his valet, and he was relieved of all
other duties.
The failure of Blaine TO get elected for
President in 1884 broke Lovejoy's heart,
and he took to drink. He continued his spree
until a couple Of years ago, when he was
dismissed from the hotel, Since then lie did
nothing IN particular.

Bill Has No Show.

Chairman Dingley, OF the Ways and

at the Hamilton direct from Canton, where

are no changes in that body as to the

The cha noes are that there will he no

authoritatively. We must have revenue
before July, but as to the means for rails

Thesc gunboats are OF what is know wn as
| composite construction, the entire frame
| of steel. and above the water each is
plated with steel and planked below. The
planking is covered with copper the advan-
tage of this over the steel being that the
vessel will not need docking for years, and
may make uninterrupted cruises of seven OF
eight years. Each boat has three full
decks, running the entire length OF the YES
sci
Tire length over all is 200 feet and 16s
feet between perpendiculars. The beam
between n holdings is 35 feet inches, and
extreme beam 36 feet. The mean draUght
is 2 feet and the displacement 900 tons.
AS compared with the Machias and Castine,
these new boats are % feet shorter, feet
wider and of the same displacement. The
rig is that of a barkentine. and the area OF
the nine principal sails will be / 800 feet.
The armament consists of six four-Incil
rapid fire breechloading rifles, four six
pound, rapid-fire guns and two onc-pOund-
crs. One four-inch gun will be mounted
on the spar deck forward and one aft, with
two on each side of the gun deck amid
ships. The siX-poundeTs are mounted one
on each side forward, one on each side
amidships and one one-pounder on each
side aft. There will be no gun sponsors.
on the lower deck is general store
room over the trimming tank forward.
Aft of this is a forty foot berthing space,
the width of the ship; dynamo room on
the port side and prison and ordnance
storeroom to starboard. Still farther aft
come the boiler and engine rooms, cont-
pictely surrounded by tine coal bunkers.
Tile boilers are of Scotch type, two in
number, with working pressure OF 100
pounds.
The engine is of the vertical triple ex-
pansion type, with cylinders 16 inches,
% inches and SO inches in diameter, re-
spectively, and with a 24-inch stroke. Its
horse lower is SC0-one-h half that of the
Machias. The contract speed is twelve
knots, with no premium for excess, but
with penalty for falling short; but they
will be accepted if they make eleven knots
The coal capacity is 3CO tons, giving
steaming radius of IL GOO knots. But as
the boats are designed to cruise under
sail, ordinarily, they will not have to re-
coal inside of i year. The total cost VIII
be $3.50 900. The contract for these boats
was awarded the Bath Iron Works Novem-
ber 2, 1895. The keels were laid last
March. The boats Will be ready for sea
early next year. Each Will carry nine
officers, ten mariners, and one hundred
and twenty-fiv blue Jackets. Their rig
Will be very heavy, and the boats viii be
very heavy under sail. In appearance
they are much like steam yachts Of ap-
proved model.
