In regard to armament and coal capacity,
the Pluton, Furor and Terror carry each
two 14-pounder, two 6-pounder Maxim
Nordenfeldts, two 1-pounder Maxims, and
100 tons of coal. Each has complement
of seventy men and has two torpedo tubes.
The Ariete is furnished with four S-pounder
quick-firing guns and two torpedo tubes.
The Rayo is similarly armed, and the Azor
has, beside the rapid-firing guns, an extra
torpedo tube, three IN all. The compile
ment of the smaller boats is about twenty
men. 1t may be noted taht the first three
of the six boats are classed as torpedo boat
Gestroyers. In point of speed, the Pluton
will have her equals in fully fifty torpedo
boat destroyers ordered by Great Britain,
of similar dimensions and tonnage, and
there are seventeen of these that are to be
two knots faster, and one, the Empress, is
credited with the estimated speed of SO
knots. Many of our boats are of deeper
draught. None of the go or 33 knot destroy
ers, however, have yet been taken over by
the British government, so that the Span
ish government, so that the Spanish Pluton
can compare with any afloat. For pur-
poses of comparison it may be noted that

ers, with speed of over thirty knots, and

L|NDERMANN TO YUKON
A LOS ANGELES MAN3JouRNEY
TO THE FROZEN NORTH
"A Story Of Hardship and Disappoint-
ment-Captain Ray, U. S. A.,
Tossed in a Blanket

o. T. Thomas, a Los Angeles printer,
started for Alaska early last fall. Below is
presented an article written by him, giving
an account of his journey to the frozen
north, his trials, hardships and disap
pointments. Mr.. Thomas letter begins at
Lake Lindermann and ends at Fort Yukon,
where Capt. Ray and his little command
passed the winter. 1t is a plain, straight
forward account of everyday life and act
ual experiences, and brings wildly before
the reader the hard side of gold seeking in
the domain of the Arctic circle. 1t con-
veys terrible warning against rushing to
Alaska without adequate supplies and
plenty of money. While Mr.. Thomas has
been unfortunate in not realizing his ex-
pectations, his lucky star has not deserted
him, and he expects to come out all right
in the end.
The Beginning
September 23d.-Our boat was finished
last evening, and this morning we set sail.
a run Of four hours brought US to the
foot of Lake Lindermann. Everything had
to be taken from the boat and carried about
a mile to Lake Bennett, the empty boat be-
ing 'lived down. over the rapids The
boat was leaking badly, SO we pulled it
ashore, calked and pitched it. Stayed
three days at head of Lake Bennett, then
resumed our journey. We had head winds,
and had to row all the way across the lake,
through a binding snowstorm. Imagine
how we enjoyed Upholstered hands, cold
and wet! Landed at dark; shoveed away
the snow and pitched our tent; built
campfire, got supper and turned in. Up in
the morning and off at daypreak. (When

had to row across Lake Bennett, 90 miles;
also Lake Tagish, II miles, the river con-
Meeting it with Lake Marsh Cor Mud lake,
10 miles. Just after we crossed Tagish lake
on Six-Mle river, we were hailed by the
British custom officers and landed at a
campfire, built on the shore, where we were
compelled to give up $50 for duty on our
outfits, also large sack Of oatmeal. The
custom officer gave a receipt in full for
duties, but did not say how much money
had been paid nor mention the sack of oat-
meal "confiscated.
We reached the head of Lake LIE Barge.

as the wind was favorable, and Capt
Brown concluded to make the run across
the lake at night; so up went the sail and
away flew our boat before a strong wind.

Many of Spain's most formidable torpedo
boats and torpero boat destroyers were
built in England. These craft are the most
talked-of engines of destruction employed
by Spain in the present war. Scarcely can
the subject of our possible victories at sea
be discussed without it is at once remarked
that the Spanish flotilla is an important
factor. While something has been printed
in America about the fiotillas strength,
Spain has so jealousy guarded all informa-
ton that the following account, written by
an English expert who interviewed the
builders of Spains chief torpedo boats,
will shed much new light on their power.
LONDON. April 2S.-(Special Cores
pondence to The Herald.) Naval officers
here assert that the United States navy
will find foe worthy of their steel III
Spain's torpedo fiotilla, and that it will
play q most important part in the war.
1t is a fact not generally known that
many of the chief torpedo boats and swift
destroyers owned by Spain were built in
English shipyards, circumstance which
enables your correspondent to put before
American readers important facts and fig
ures. For purposes of comparison, 1 will
remark how these naval hornets line up
alongside some of Great Britain's craft IF
this type.
1t is universally recognized that the
Spanish torpedo boat fiotilla is a factor of
the utmost consequence. In the opinion
of experts, who were specially consulted
these craft are thoroughly up to date.
Taking them individually, they can invite
comparison with any in the world. The
fiotilla consists of the Pluton, twin screw
launched last year at Clydebanll; the Flu
TOR and Terror, twin screws, built at the
same place in 1896; the Ariete and Rayo,

The United States and Russia con-
stitute now the two largest govern
ments in the world in the area and
population of the home country, the
homogeneity of the Inhabitants and in
the total population. The products
of both are varied and extensive, aud
it would not be an unnatural inference,
perhaps, that an extensive business
existed between the two, going to make
up a part of the 5000, 100000 of I'M
ports into the United States and the
81, 900, 900, 900 of exports. In fact
however, the commercial business done

A remarkable story is going the
rounds of the press as to q weaving
machine newly invented i'll France,
says the Dry Goods Economist, This
machine, it is claimed, turns out from
100 to 175 yards of fabric per day OF
ten hours, with the expenditure OF
but half the ordinary motive force
The fabric is said to show q woven
effect on one side and knitted on the
other. 1t is also stated that great
economy is effected by the fact that
one workman can oversee as many as
six machines. The description is so
mixed up as to need considerable re-
vision before receiving credence. 1t
seems to apply more to knitting ma
chine than to loom, while many i'm
portant details are wanting. The
Gle i'm that one man can run six ma
chimes is not startling, inasmuch as in
some cotton mills in this country one
operative tends fully that number Of
looms and more.

Shanghai, Nov. 2S.-The report re-

had hoisted the union jack over Ting
Hal, capital of the island of Chusan, and
over several other islands in the Chusan

of the rumor, which probably originated
in mistaking the survey marks of the
