equal of the armored cruisers of Spain
TIE only prototypes of these vessels
are found in the British navy.
There is one point of advantage we
have over Spain, and that is in our rams
and monitors. While every modern war
ship is possessed of a ram, we have in
the Katahdin a vessel which is built for
nothing else but sinking her prov into
an unlucky foe. The Katahdin is not
very big vessel as warships go, for
her tonnage Is only 2200, but she could
knock the spots off the best warship
that was ever constructed, armored or
unarmored, If only given half chance.
Then there are our five double turreted
monitors of which the most powerful
is the unlucky Puritan of 5000 trns.
Just how efficient boat the Puritan is
can, hardly be said at present, for 1t was
only a few days ago that she came lag
ging into port, the end of her hawser
stretching away from the stern OF the
cruiser Columbia. When the Puritan
went down to Charlestown to run the
blockade she was well-nigh swamped
in the great storm, and this fact, to-
gether with her latest accident, makes
naval authorities rather hesitant about
fixing the extent of her powers.
Besides the Puritan, there are the Ter
ror. the Amphitrite, the Monadnock
ard the Miantonomah. They are about
half the Puritar's size. Their armor is
eleven inches thick and their guns are
ten-inch pieces. OF course the monitor
is pre- -eminently coast defender In
smooth water and for harbor work this
craft is unsurpassed. The monitor Is
very different vessel than when Mr.;
Ericsson's invention had its famous duel
with the Merrimac. In fighting strength
and in defensive power 1t is several hum
dred per cent better. While it is true
that the majority of the naval powers
do not approve of the type of vessel the

X-Ray on Jonah and the Whale

Among all the splendid chariots that
will appear at the coming carnival in
Paris, the X-ray chariot will be the most
curious. 1t will appear in the form of an
angry sea, with a big whale moving
along on the surface and an electrician
perched upon a rock behind. The scien-
tiflc man will point his apparatus at the
whale in order to discover what may be
inside the monster. When the lights are
yell turned on, everybody will be able
to see the interior, a handsomely fur
nished apartment, in which Jonah, seat
cd at a table. will drink champagne in
company with a mermaid. She. enl g
procession will be about twice as loGg
as the one of last year. The auto mobile
chariot, which is the biggest of ALL and
in which pasteboard horses are to re-
joice al having nothing to do, was found
to be too large for the machinery and
ii will be moved along by concealed
real horses, with real animals above

monitors represent, their usefulness is
unquestioned.
If worst came to worst and our war
ships were inadequate in point of num-
bers, we could call on our big liners for
aid. OF course it would not take much
time to make unarmored cruisers out of
them and, so far as speed IS concerned,
there is nothing in the Spanish navy or
our own either for that matter, which
could touch them. Spain has one big
line upon which it could draw-the Com
pania nsatlantic-whose thirty-two
steamers have a gross tonnage of more
than 100 COO.
To defeat Spain in a sea contest would
it will be seen from the facts given, be
a task that differs widely from child's
play. If Uncle Sam and Don Spaniard
really come to blows, it will be duel
each of the combatants in which will
have a foeman worthy of his steel.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-What
would happen at sea if the United States
and Spain went to war? In spite of all
the new interests which crop up with
the new administration, this is ques-

a question that has been presented by

policy men were released from Jail, after
serving thirty days and paying fine of
$50 each.

Henderson Dismissed.

The case of Tim. Henderson, the negro
who on the night of February murder
ously ASA ulted Ellis Day. also colored, in
the saloon of Morris Levin, on North st.
Asaph street, came up for trial in the DO
lice court at special session last night
Henderson was represented by Mr. Charles
Bendhem. A number of colored men who
were in the saloon at the time of the occur
renee had been summoned, but they claim
ed to know nothing of the affair Albert
Green. colored, said that on the night in
question he was standing IN front of Lee
WINS place and saw Day run out of the
6eor and pick up brick and start back
When he reached the door Day met Hen
oerson and caught him in the collar and
endeavored to pull him to the street, when
Henderson stabbed him in the shoulder
Day In his testimony denied this state
ment, however, and said that he had never
had any previous trouble with Henderson
Henderson then took the stand in his own
behalf. He did not deny that he had cut
Day, but claimed that it was in self-de-
Tense. After all the testimony had been
taken and before Lawyer Bendheim had
finished his argument the mayor dismissed
the case.

lWheeling Intellinencer =,

wheeling Intelligencer.
The wheels of prosperity are humm ing
at the Aetna-Standard Iron and Steel
Works. Some of the mills at this great
plant started on Monday, others resumed
on Tuesday, more yesterday, and addi-
tional mills will start up today.
When the Intelligencer announced last
week that three mills would go on this
week, hundreds of the employees were
parts of the country. Many were fishing
at different points along the o hio and
creeks, others were taking bicycle trips,
SO me were taking in the cities, some
were enjoying the lake breezes, some at
Niagara Falls, others visiting, and SO on i.
Not few of these were receiving the In
teliigencer. and when they read that the
mills would start this week they came
home or made preparations to come.
kilograms and letters were sent telling
of the resumption, and the employees have
been arriving on every train and boat
since the announcement was made. BY
this time nearly all of the men have re-
turned and largesnumbers are at work,
ddPPy OIL CouuClItCd. IAc culpiOyeS nave
been noticed in groups discussing the
matter, and this man was asked to come
out at q certain hour, another man at 6,
another at 9, another at ~, etc., etc. Diff
ferent men were asked to have every man
on their crews ready by a certain time,
and in only few cases have there been
an insufficient number of men to do the
work A few of the regular employees,
who have not yet returned, had previous
" arranged with others to do their work
until their return should the mills go on
earlier than expected.
The increase in the wages of the tin
workers is quite an item to each of these,
the rise they were granted alone paying
the rent of many tin workers, and as one
tin worker said:
my increase will more than pay my
rent, and this is like getting house for
nothing. l hustled around in the bad
weather last fall for prosperity and voted
for it and I've got it already"
The increase in the wages of the tin
workers means about $50 month for each
roller, heater and doubler, and steady
work at that. Rollers get raise of about
500 to 1923 per month. heaters raise of
ST to $40 per month, doublers raise of
800 per month, shearmen raise of about
$12 per month, and catchers a raise of
about 81 60 per month.
The tin workers at the Laughlin rarely
lose day unless on account of accident
repairs or sickness. At the Laughlin, by
the way, some of the wages paid out on
last Saturday included the increase in
wages. The increase in the tin mills
dates from the time they resume work.
