his political life
During his campaign for the senator

of the rs appointments he made. She
was his counsellor as a lawyer, appear
ing in court with him as an assistant
in several important cases. She was
brilliant woman. She had literary tastes

A FIERCE CHALLENGE.
A Spanish Editor Thirsting for Senator
Mason's Flood.

Washington, March 14.-Senator Ma
son today received the challenge sent
him by the editor of the Spanish illus
trated paper, El Cardi. The document
is printed and is signed by the editor,
the Marquis de Alta Villa. The chal-
lenge is for a combat with swords, and
is preceded by column of personal
abuse, in which Mr.. Mason is described
as IAN ignoble Yankee senator who
scolds like woman. and who has not
the valor to fight like man, and who
would take a slap in the face without
resenting it,
The American people are referred to
as people who deal in pigs, and whose
flag is the almighty dollar
The senator accepts the challenge in
a jocose spirit. He says he will have
to see the marquis before he decides
whether he will accept, but that it
scarcely accords with Spanish modesty,
for the challenging party to name the
weapons, as is done in this instance.

STIRRING WORDS.
Mayor Randall of Portland or the Maine
Disaster.

Portland, Me-, March 14-Mayor Chas
H. Randall was inaugurated for his sec
ond term, as mayor of Portland, this
afternoon. In his inaugural address
Mayor Randall made recommendations
regarding local affairs, and then refer
red to the disaster to the battleship
Maine. He said;
"The blowing up of the battleship
Maine in the harbor of Havana has
plunged the whole nation into mourn
ing, and drawn forth the sympathy of
the civilized world, and the men who
lost their lives are deserving of as great
honor as though they died in battle
Remembering that this noble ship
was named in honor of our state, and
has several times visited our harbor
feel that we should be particularly in
terested, and erect within our own
state suitable monument to those dead
heroes. And if such a monument could
be erected in Fort Allen Park, overlook
ing our beautiful harbor. where, only
six months ago, the splendid ship lay
safely at anchor it would be a fitting
testimonial to the memory of the hon
ored dead and the glory of the Ameri-
can navy"

THE NEW CRUISERS.
Washington, March 1.-THE two Bra.
lillian vessels will be extremely useful
additions to the United States navy in
either war or peace. in the opinion of
Secretary Long They are steel
sheathed and coppered with twin
screws and will be the first of the crui-
sers in our navy 20 emboiy that most
useful feature of naval construction,
sheathing, for which Chief Constructor
Hichborn has worked earnestly for
many years past He finally succeeded
in having some of the smaller gun
boats constructed on this principle.
The An1azonas is rated at $500 tons
displacement with an indicated horse
power under natural draught of 1900,
which is calculated to develop 70 knots
speed Thus, while the snip is about
the size of the Charleston, she is much
faster. Her armament is also much
more formidable, not so much in cali
bre, for the main battery is made UP of
six 6-inch guns, but these guns, as well
as the 4.7-inch guns are of what is
known as so calibres length, giving
them an unusual range and power. in
addition to this, they have ten six
pounder, quick-firing guns, four one
Founders, 4 Maxim machine guns, and
boat or field guns. The torpedo tubes
are In number. The coal capacity is
$50 tons, giving the vessel an effective
steaming radius of 5000 knots most
valuable feature, as it would enable the
ship to cross and recross the Atlantic
without coaling. Such vessel used as
a commerce destroyer would be vastly
more effective than some ships that ap-
pear to be more powerful craft, because
of its ability to get along on long
cruises, without touching at neutral
ports to coal
The cruisers carry no armor, in the or
dinary sense, but their machinery is
protected from the fire of guns by an
ached steel deck just below the water
line, varying in thickness from IL to 3.5
inches. The battery has an unusual
train, being arranged to fire three
ahead and three astern of the principal
guns
