Freeland tribune. (Freeland, Pa.) 1888-1921, 1898-05-09

RearAdmirSl James L. Jouett, Of
the United States Navy, declares his
belief in tine New York World that :'the
heavy coast-defense monitors are the
most powerful and best fighting shiDs
in the navy, and believe that one OF
them couldwhip any two Of the heaviest
battleships aaoat. T. var was declared
I would guarantee to take the Puritan
and the Terror aal defend New York
Earbor against all comers, and I am
confident that l should win. While
they would afford me an excellent tar
get, with their lofty sides Gnd heavy
upper works, my vessels would Offer
them, as did the Monitor at Hampton
Roads, practically no target ct all.
think the United States should have
many more heavily armored cruisers,
the most efficient vessels for attack,
and next to the monitors the mos5 re-
liable for defense. The fact that bat
tleships, owing to their size and weight,
are ponderous affairs and difficult to
move makes them an easy prey for tor
pedoes and torpedo boats. The United
States should, in my opinion, confne
itself to a fleet of heavy monitors, a
powerful flying squadron Of heavily
armored cruisers, enough light cruis-
ers to represent our country and carry
our flag into the ports of foreign Ma
tions, and large number of torpedo
boats and torpedo catchers to operate
in conjunction with the monitors. We
can do better without the battleships
in pursuing our course OF abstaining
from entangling foreign alliances and
minding our own business than witn
any other class of vessels. Give us
low. free-board monitors and torpedo
boats for coast defense and cruisers

CLIMATE AND CROPS.
Effects Of the Rain Throughout the
State on Fruit and Feed.

SAN FRANCISCO, Oct. 4.-The cli-
mate and crop bulletin of the United
States Weather Bureau was issued to-
day by~N. II. Harmon, section direc-
tor, for the week ending last night, and
includes a full report of the effect of
the rain of last week in all parts of the
State. Mr.. Harmon in his summary
says: THE recent rains caused but
little injury to the fruit crop, as ample
warning had been given, and a large
yield of raisins is expected Slight dam
age was done to hay, but grain and
pasturage have been greatly benefited.
Flowing and seeding have commenced.
and an unusually large acreage Of
grain in the San Joaquin Valley IS
probable. Light frost occurred in Yuba
County, causing slight injury to tender
vegetables. There was a slight fall
of snow on the mountains Oranges
are making satisfactory growth in
Southern California and in the Sacra-
mento Valley. The walnut crop was
considerably injured by the hot, dry
summer"
Detailed reports of the effect of the
rain show that no injury was done in
these counties: Butte. Colusa, Sacra~

OAKLAND, Oct. 4-The twenty
sixth annual session of the California
State Grange was opened at Odd Eel

tinue throughout the week. The first

cast 1t against the receding bow. The
bottle crashed into a thousand frag-
ments and the wine streamed down the
side of the nations new defender. As
the great vessel moved down the ways,
cheer after cheer went up from the
multitude of spectators, whose shouts
almost drowned the noisy welcome
sounded by the whistles in the har-
Dor.
The battleship was soon picked up by
tugs which were waiting and towed to
pier, where she will secure her ma
chinery.
Immediately after the launching sew
eral hundred guests of the Newport
News Company boarded the steamer
Newport News for Old Point, where
they will be entertained at a luncheon
and banquet at the Chamberlain Hotel.
Toasts will be responded to by Gov
ernor Tanner of Illinois, Governor Ty-
Ter of Virginia and other prominent
guests.
launching hop will be given at the
Chamberlain Hotel this evening. The
Illinois will be the biggest and most
powerful and probably the most effect
i've battleship in the United States
navy. Larger than the Iowa, and
heavier than the Oregon, the Illinois is
still so designed that she will be able
to enter any harbor open to the smaller
battleshipS, while in the matter of speed
she Will rank with any of them. The
most striking difference between the
Illinois and the battleships now in SER
vice is the high freeboard of the for
mer, enabling her to fight her guns
from their great elevation above the
water in seas so heavy that the guns
of the lower vessel would be submerged
and useless. Splendid seagoing powers
are also expected to result from this
increased freeboard, by which is meant
the hight of the hull above the water
line
The dimensions of the Illinois meas
ure as follows:
Length on load water line, 36S feet;
beam, extreme, - feet 21a inches;
draugnt on normal displacement of H.,
525 tons, % feet & inches; maximum
displacement, ell ammunition and
stores on board, 1925 tons
Maximum indicated horse power (eS-
timated), 10000; probable speed, 1862
knots; normal coal supply. 800 tons;
coal supply Goose storage), 100 tons:
full bunker capacity, 1,400 to LOO
tons; complement of officers, 40; sea-
men, marines, etc, 449.
The main battery will consist of four
13-inch breechloading rifles, in HIGH
born balanced turrets, oval in shape,
and placed in the center line of the
vessel, and fourteen 6-inch rapid-fire
guns. The secondary battery will con-
sist of sixteen 6-pounder rapid-fire
guns, four 1-paunder rapid-fire guns,
two Colt guns and two field guns. She
will carry four torpedo tubes.
There will be. two sets of triple eX-
pansion, twin-screw engines, each in
its own separate water-tight compart-
ment; the collective indicated horse
power will be about 10000, with 12O
revolutions per minute, stroke four feet.
The first keel plate of this vessel was
laid February 10, 1897, not quite TWEEN
ty months past, and the percentage of
work completed to this date, based
upon the vessel fitted out and ready
for sea, is now reported between %
and "a per cent. The contract price
was $3.50, 900, and the date of compile
