FASTEST WAR CRAFT AFLoAr
Russia Is to Have Torpedo Boats Going
Forty Miles an Hour

Washington. Dec. 1.-The navy de-
partment has received information to
the effect that Russia is about TO become
possessed of three new torpedo boats
that will be easily the fastest war craft
IN the world, being capable of the enor-
nous speed of SS knots per hour. with
every probability Of making 40 knots
When pressed. This great speed de-
mands graeter power than can be sup
piled by ordinary engines. so that the
boats will be driven 10y .team turbines,
having four separate shafts with three
screw T1ropellers on each shaft. The con-
tract for the three boats has already
been placed with an English firm. The
high speed requirement is based upon
the wonderful performance of the Tur-
bina. which mas run at the rate of near
~ forty miles per hour

RAINY DAY DRESS.
Jersey City Ladies' Tell What They
Think About II

The Rainy Day Club was entertained
yesterday by Mss Marguerite Lindley at
the Murray Hill Hotel, New York city.
The subject under discussion was the
adoption of a rainy day dress. Miss
Bradford of Whitaker House had been
asked to speak of the question as If
fecting working girls. She was i'll and
she sent her regrets by Miss Mary Phil
brook.
Miss Philbrook said Miss Bradford had
asked her to emphasize the fact that
the adoption of a rainy day dress could
not be brought about by the working girls
because it would make their position
conspicuous. The reform must be
brought about by the fashionable people.
and then Miss Bradford felt sure the
working girls would follow. Miss Phil
brook said for herself that she would
gladly welcome the reform. She is tired
of holding up skirts with one hand while
with the other she grasps an umbrella, a
pock9tbook. a handkerchief and books
Mss Lillian Mack, of .The Newar,s

the costume three years ago. AT first she

it, but the absolute comfort and freedom
Of the dress n the growing respect 81

The Jersey City news. (Jersey City [N.J.]) 1889-1906, 1897-02-04

The Johnson Railroad Commission bill
is n of the most dangerous measures
ever proposed in this state. It has been
drafted wholly in the interests of the
railroads, and if it passes. the people
viii have no protection against any cor
poration which desires a slice of street,
or to improve its line at the public ex-
pense.
The powers outlined for the Commits
sioners are absolutely outrageous, and
administered by a crew of John w.
Griggs' choosing, they would be simply
in~tolerable. The complete s~ubserviency
of Griggs to railroad influences is more
and more apparent, day by day. and it
may be taken for granted that nobody
would go upon this Board who you'd
make the least stand against corporate
greed.
If a railroad wants a grade crossing,
this commission is to have power to
authorize 1t. If a railroad wants to ele-
vate its tracks, his commission is to
determine how much ofhathes cost the
municipality shall bear. And these pow
ers are to be given to men selected by
John W. Grtggs. s.ia
VIII the people endure this outrage?
