NEW MONITORS.
After Orders Had been Placed for
Four, IL Was Decided to Make
Them More Formidable.

instructions have been issued by the
navy department for the immediate sus-
pension of all work on the four new
monitors contracted for in September
and distributed between the firms sub
hitting the lowest bids.
At meeting of the bureau chiefs 1t
was decided that if it is shown to be
practicable TO double the offensive and
defensive powers of the monitors with
out exceeding the authority given in the
act of congress the present contracts
shall be annulled and the vessels rede-
signed throughout
Calculations made show that in or
der TO give an additional turret it will
be necessary to increase the displace-
Inent Of the ships about 1000 tons and
bring the new ships approximately TO
the same effective strength as the Am
phitrite and Terror.
Estimates of weights indicate that
the heaviest guns that can be carried
are ten-inch, and in making the change
il is the purpose of the authorities to
mount this caliber in couples fore and
aft in the two turrets.

INTO QUICK-FIRING WEAPONS.
The Eight-Inch Guns on Warships
Are To he Materially
Changed.

The ordnance officers of the navy have
been instructed to commence the work
of converting all the eight-inch guns
Of the warships into quick-fring weap-
ons. This style of gun set fire to the
Infanta Maria Teresa and Vizcaya in
the Santiago fight of July, and a shell
from one killed 30 men in the turret of
tie Oquendo. That engagement illus
trated the necessity of having rapid
fire guns, hence the order of the navy
department
The eight-inch guns weigh $50 tons
and use 75-pound charge of brown
powder, but when converted a charge
of 20 pounds of smokeless powder will
be used. AS at present fitted they can
be fired at the rate of one shot in three
minutes, but when converted into rapid
FIRE weapons it.will be possible TO fire
at least one shot a minute, and possibly
one every 45 seconds.
a breech mechanism has been de-
Vised which is regarded as lighter and
stronger than the present standard
one. 1t has been used in England and
found satisfactory. With all the guns
on the warship under ten-inch caliber
working on the rapid. fire basis the
United States will carry batteries the
equal of any afloat.

A GOOD TEST.
and Railroads being Tried
In Porto Rico.

An interesting experiment of govern
ment ownership of telegraph lines is
now being conducted in Porto Rico. 1t
Is expected that the test now being
made in that island will either show TO
"a great extent the fallacy or worth OF
the claims of those who demand the
government ownership of railroads and
telegraph. When the Spanish evacuat-
ed Porto Rico all telegraph lines and
offices were turned over TO the United
States and placed in charge of the sig
nal corps. The government lines were
of course confscated by the United
States, but the rights of private own
ership were respected according to the
terms agreed upon by the commissions
of evacuation.
Immediately upon the retirement OF
the Spanish officials the entire tele-
graph system was turned over to Lieut..
Col. Glassford, of the United States sig
nal corps. He at once installed officers
and men of his own corps in the tele-
graph offices and has been operating
them since. The lines are nominally
under the control of the war depart
ment, but are conducted in much the
same manner as the telegraph in the
United States.

Temperance Party I'm London shows
That Parliament Is breaking
One of Its own Laws.

The temperance party Of London has
won a moral victory this week in at
tacking the sale of intoxicants within
the houses of parliament, which is In
the anomalous position of breaking the
laws made by its members. The action
was an appeal from the decision of a
magistrate who held that the licensing
act did not apply to the houses of parla-
ment, and the appeal court practically
admitted that the magistrates decision
was wrong in view of the present state
of the licensing law. But the court dis
missed the appeal on a technical point.
The lord chief justice, Baron Russell,
OF Killowen, however, recommends par
lament to pass bill legalizing It's
position.

WARING LEAVES PLANS.
fere with Work Which He Was
Sent TO Havana to Accomplish.

According to statements made by DR..
Stinson, the death of Col. Waring will
not interfere with the work which he
was sent TO Havana to accomplish. His
report upon the sanitation of the city
and his plans for it's improvement were
practically completed before his death.
After the papers, which were written
in triplicate, have been thoroughly dis
infected they will be sent to Washing
ton.
DR.. Stinson declines to make public
any portion of the report, but it has
been learned that it contains a CON-
plete system of drainage and sewerage,
which Col. Waring believed would to-
tally abolish all fear of yellow fever
when it was properly established.
1t calls, however, for an expenditure
CT many millions of dollars, as the ac-
cumulated filth of 200 years must be
thoroughly cleared away.

LADY OF GRAND RAPIDS STRIKES THE

Many extraordinary cases of the work

well deserved words of praise are daily

LEST WE FORGET" !"
The Motto of National Society Of
the Span .sh-American War.
Miss Clara Barton Elected President
object Is Twofoldi To Erect "A
Monument and Deliver Pntri-
otic Lectures.

On the day the protocol between the
United States and Spain was signed
the National Society of the Spanish
American War was organized at Balti-
more, Nd. Thus August 12, 1895,
marked the end of a victorious war and
the beginning of society destined to
perpetuate throughout the centuries
the fame of the heroes whose lives
formed the costly sacrifice by which
victory was won, and the heroism of
those brave men whom God has spared
to us.
The society is the outgrowth of the
relief work done by some of the patri-
otic women during the late war.
After mature consideration the fol-
lowing officers were selected: For
president, the one woman for the place
was Miss Clara Barton, president of the
American National Society of the Red
Cross, and she was elected unani-
mously. Among the vice presidents
are many distinguished names, the rep
resentative of the south being not yet
chosen. Prominent in the list are Mrs.
John A. Logan, for the north; Maj.
Gen. Miles and Rear Admiral Schley, as
fitting representatives of the army and
navy. x
The Commonwealth bank of Bal
timore was appointed as the nation
al treasurer.
The motto and insignia of the society
is: Lest We Forget. The badge of the
members is a 13-pointed star of dark
blue enamel, bearing 13 golden stars
encircling the letters L. w. f., standing
for the motto.
The society desires to construct bat
tie monument to be placed in that city
upon which the majority of the mem
bers shall decide. This battle monu-
ment will be of such nature as to be
of great beauty and impressiveness.
But this monument is not the note
worthy feature of the society's plan.
The real vital element in its work is its
memorial lectures.
The society is now organizing staff
of lecturers, under the leadership of
DR. Guy Carleton Lee, one of the most
brilliant and talented orators Of the
century, who has been appointed chief
of staff lecturers.
For the periods commencing Novem-
Der 1, 1898, and ending July 4, 1899, it of
fers to deliver 100 popular lectures on
the Spanish war 1t will provide lee
turer TO any society or organization
wishing to arrange such lecture.
The society offers during the period
above mentioned to provide staff lee
turer to deliver lectures in so colleges.
The fees of the lecturer will be paid by
the society, and application need not be
made through a local council
