SICKLES HONORS MEADE.
He Placed a Flower on the Veteran s
.- Grave.

That was q moment of sensational IL
terest at the grave OF Gen. Meade, in the
Laurel Hill Cemetery services of Post
No. 1 yesterday, when the grizzled, one
legged Gen. Daniel E. Sickles arose with
his crutches and hobbled over the grass,
closer and closer to the dust of the hero
of Gettysburg. To all the students of
war history with the memory of the
charges revived by the posthumous ar
ticles of ex-Assistant Secretary of War
Charles A Dana, and the memorable
and bitter controversy arising from the
relations of Gen. Meade, and Gen. Sick
les at Gettysburg, it was a moment of
great suspense.
Gen. Sickles seemed to stand inches
greater in the stature of character as lie
bent reverently over the grave of Meade,
then faced the veterans and said

as any one here. We were comrades in
the Army of the Potomac, and in many
battles. I witnessed and bear testimony
to the high standard of merit which dis
tinguished him as soldier and a gentle
man. I knew him as a brigade, a divis-
ion, corps and an army commander,
and in all these commands he won and
deserved the admiration of all as a great
general and also a great man. 1t is a
privilege to me here in the presence OF
his fellow-citizens to place upon the
grave of my commander this flower

A FRENCH PENAL SHIP.
The Floating Prison Which Conveys
ConvictS to the Colonies.

| The French transport ship Caledonia
is an object of much curiosity. This
grim sea prison annually conveys
about 1000 souls from the land of the
| living-the gay French republic-to
an enduring death on the Safety is
! lands
The Caledonia is an iron ship Of 1000
| tons. For the last ten years it has
been in the employ OF the French gov
ernment transporting criminals from
France and Algeria to the penal colo
MES on the Safety islands, thirty
miles off the coast of French Guiana.
Four steel cages, each with a capac-
| ity of $50, are ready for the male pris-
oners as they come aboard, while Il
much smaller enc, capable of holding
only thirty-one persons, is sufficient
for the female convicts. This latter
cage is in the aft of the ship, and is
widely separated from the others. The
women are treated with a great deal
more consideration than the men. They
have regular berths and are given bet
ter fare. The men sleep in canvas
hammocks and are given the ordinary
seamen's ration, which is substantial
if not elaborate.

ent Appropriation.

The proportion of ships OF very large
dimensions to the total number built
is not nearly so great as is often as

be interesting to arrange them accord
Ing to displacement tonnages There
are twenty-five ships over $4,000 tons:
all bat two are battleships; the excep-
lions are the Powerful and Terrible
cruisers. Between $4,000 and $4,000
tons, there are eleven ships, seven BAT
tleships and four cruisers. Between TO-
900 and $4,000, ten ships, two being
ing battleship. Twelve cruisers are
from $500 to 9,100 tons; twenty-four
between 1000 and 5000 tons; forty

1t is impossible, within the limits of
space available, to dwell on the gains
incidental to the use of quick firing
guns. A single illustration must suf-
flee. Prior to 1887 the six-inch breech-
loading gun of the royal navy was
five tons in weight, had a powder
charge of forty-eight pounds and fired
100-pound projectiles, with a muzzie
velocity of rather less than 1000 feet
per second, at the rate OF four to five
aimed shots per minute. It's penetrat-
ing power is estimated at sixteen
inches of wrought iron. The modern
gun has greater range and accuracy.
and fires about four times as fast In
the Royal Arthur on one occasion fir
teen rounds were fired in three minutes
and nine hits were scored. A still
more formidable weapon has just been
adopted for the naval service.-Nine-
