damaged so as to necessitate the closing
down of the mill for a week. but the
mill itself was not touched. MIR. Ken

GREATEST ON EARTH.
That Is the Opinion Dave Hatfield Has of
Dawson.


Great Falls, Aug. 30.-Mrs. Dave Hat
field has returned to this city from the
state of Washington, where she has
spent the winter with friends. h has
lately received a letter from her nus
band, who is now located at Dawson
city, and is doing well. He writes that
Dawson is the greatest town on earth
and the place where chances to make
money are the most frequent. He start
ed from Dyea for Dawson with 1000
pounds OF provisions and a train of
dogs. n he found before reaching his
destination that the dogs possessed a
more healthy appetite than he did, for
they ate up nearly all of the grub and
nearly starved him out. He also says
that the mounted police are establishing
stations at intervals Of 80 miles along
the route so the dangers of the trip
will be greatly lessened. Mrs. Hatfield
expects TO join her husband some time
during the winter.

Fruit Trees and Early Vegetation
Suffer in Many States.
The cold wave which swept in from the
west last week did much damage to fruit
trees and early vegetation in all the States
which it traversed. The injury has been
increased by the fact that the preceding
warm wea Their caused the trees to blossom
freely. The extent of the damage cannot
be accurately estimated, but telegraphic
reports from various sections show that
serious injury has resulted
Throughout the greater part of Illinois

of damage come from many points in Mis-

The battle ships Kentucky and Kear-
sarge, launched Thursday, are exact coun-
terparts of each other and make brace
of fighting machines more powerful than
any two ships that steam upon the seas.
Sister ships built on the same lines from
the same specifications, the eye Of an ex-
pert navy man would be needed to note
any little differences in their construction.
Both are tremendous men-of-war and
unique in appearance. They seem rather
short for their breadth of beam. Their
extreme length is only 1863 feet, while
amidships they measure Il feet inches
across. The forward freeboard measures
IA feet inches, and the freeboard aft
II feet 4 inches. The mean draft Of both
ships is % feet inches, with their normal
40 tons of coal, which means displace-
ment of Il 500 tons. Power stands out in
their every line, but it is in their tremen-
dous armament and their magnificent ar
NOR that the Kearsarge and Kentucky
brighten one even to look at them. -Four
threatening 13-inch guns peer out from
the two main turrets; that is, two guns
to each turret. Over the main turrets are
two second turrets, which carry each two
S-inch guns. Fourteen 5-inch quick-fring
rifles make up the waist armament. The
secondary batteries consist of twenty g.
FOUNDER rapid-fre and six 1-pounder guns
and four machine guns. There are five
torpedo tubes, two on each broadside and
one at the stern. Two military tops
mounting machine guns, complete the ar
mament of these ships It is doubtful if
any other warship can hurl such a mass
of metal from her side as these sister ships
will be able to do when in action.
Their draft, when the coal stock is light,
will enable them to steam into the prln-
cipal navy yards and ports Of the country.
AS for armor. the Kentucky and Kear-
sarge need ask odds of no fighting ship In
our own or in any other navy. All the
armor is of solid nickel steel, harveyized.
The barbette's armor is Is inches in thick
ness, and the 13-inch gun turrets are pro-
tected by Is inches Of the same hard
metal Directly in front these turrets are
strengthened with II instead Of Is inches
of harveyized nickel steel. Armored bulk
heads will shelter the vitals Of the ships.

South Carolina feels keenly the shame
of the frightful crime by which the
colored postmaster at Lake City was
killed, and members of his family killed
or wounded, by a mob of whites who
had set their home on fire in the middle
of the night. Nothing could be asked
for more appropriate to the occasion
than the editorial expressions of the
Columbia State, and the Charleston
News and Courier has been equally out
spoken in condemna ton of the atrocity.
The murder of the postmaster is the
sixth lynching that has occurred in
South Carolina since the beginning of
the year, and the Charleston editor
holds the State authorities indirectly
responsible for the latest crime because
''they have made practically no effort
whatever to stay the hand of violence"
He goes still further, and welcomes the
opportunity now presented for the Fed
era Government to interpose, as "the
State authorities have demonstrated
their inability to deal with such crimes
against the law"

The Kentucky and Kearsarge can steam
at the rate of ten knots an hour for 5000
miles, or at thirteen knots an hour for
1000 miles-clear across the Atlantic.
They can carry 1910 tons of coal with
ease, and in case of necessity 400 or 500
tons additional. Their engines and boil
ers are of the best approved types, and,
all in all, there are no more ferocious en-
gines of destruction in the world. Each
has horse power Of 10000 and can speed
along at the rate Of sixteen knots an hour
without strain. The cost of the ships was
close to 100000 each. Two of like pat
tern are now building.

been created-one at Key West to guard
the gulf and be in readiness to make
demonstration against Havana, and an
other at Hampton Roads to guard the
North Atlantic coast, and serve in case
Of emergency as a support to the Gulf
feet. Besides coast defense vessels have
been disposed at the principal harbors.
Each fleet consists of battleships, double
turreted monitors, armored cruisers, gun
boats, torpedo boats and torpedo boat de-
stroyers. Spain has also divided her
available ships into squadrons. One will
defend Havana, another will guard home
cities, and third will hold itself in readi-
ness to proceed wherever directed. To
effect this arrangement she halted her
torpedo boat fiotilla at the Canary islands
and retained the second feet about to sail
from Cadiz. Spain evidently intends to
have flying squadron" to utilize wher
ever opportunity occurs.
Vessels Made Ready for War.
At League Island, Key West and other
points all warships have been coaled to
their full capacity and have been supplied
with full quota Of all kinds Of ammuni-
ton. The Montgomery has been over
hauled since her return from Havana, and
the gunboats Helena and Bancroft Also
Preparations have been made with the
secrecy and assignments to the one fleet or
the other have been carried on so guarded
~ that it is impossible to find out just
where any vessel is going to be found
when the first shot is fred. The newly
acquired Brazilian cruiser, AmaZonas, un-
der convoy of the San Francisco, will ar
rive in few days all ready for service.
Her sister ship will be brought across the
Atlantic within two weeks and completed
in an American yard. Several other yes
sells will have in the meantime been pur-
chased and added to our available war
ships.
So delicate is the situation that our Gov
eminent cannot wait for guns to be manu-
featured by our own shops, but is pur-
chasing them in England and Germany.
These guns being of a caliber different
from ours, ammunition has to be purchas-
ed with them. Batteries are moving from
the West to the Atlantic and Gulf coast
cities, and large quantities of ammuni-
ton and supplies are being forwarded in
advance Of their arrival. A bill was in
troduced IN Congress providing for the
increase of the regular army to 104 600
men; another for the building of three bat
tleshlps with an amendment increasing
them to twelve, and for the construction
of six torpedo boats and six torpedo boat
destroyers.
