MAIN DECK OF THE VULCAN.

| lists on the Vulcan never had a chance
to make any repairs. Their opportunity
| came from wholly unlocked for source.
When it was decided to attempt the
raising of the wrecks Of Cervera' g feet,
the Vulcan was sent down with the
wrecking outfit, and for many weeks
the capacities Of the queer machines in
her hold were taxed to the utmost.
Never was warship patched as was
the Maria Teresa. After the abandoned
prize was reported TO be once more
ashore and was located on Cat island
the Vulcan was again sent to the resoue.
So the repair ship has proved its use
fLlness, after all. If we have liberal
naval policy in the future, several more
repair ships will be added to the navy.
We should have ono now tn send to Ad-
miral Dewey. He needs one to raise and
repair some of the Spanish wrecks
which now cumber the waters of Ma
Mia bay.
1t cost about $500, 600 to equip the
Vulcan. With her machinery any sep
arate part of a battleship, except the
heavy guns, may be turned out. A main

the various workshops into which the

ings are made. AS protection from the
heat Of molten iron the steel deck of
the ship at this point is separated from
the foundry floor by packing of asbes-
tus, cement and sand,
Connected with the foundry Is az
equipment for molding brass. In anoth-
er department are fine stationary black
smith forges and machines for punching
holes in armor plate and for bending
and rolling plates of harveyized steel.
Below the machine deck there are store
rooms holding about 500 tons of pig
iron, layers of arIhor plate, tin, lead,
copper, bar iron, steel wire, bolts nuts
and thousand and one other things
needed in the treatment of injured bat
tleships
If you have ever visited naval re.
pair shop and can imagine the scene
transferred to shipboard, you can get
fairly good idea of what the Vulcan
looks like, There are all manner of
planes, lathes and other machines
which cut through hard steel with ap-
parent ease, The Vulcan has two cranes,
with ten foot arms that lead to the
hoisting drums amidships and to the
cranes to the matches. These cranes are
specially designed for removing weights
from the men.of- war and for transfer
ring machinery to the disabled ships,
and, lastly, there is foundry for manu-
featuring castings up to certain size.

The voluntary surrender Of Marsh
which occurred recently, was one OF the
most dramatic features of tho affair thus
far. During the late political campaign
Mr. Wanamakcr became bittor opponent
Of Senator Quay. This led to the arrest of
the senator on charge Of misapplying

Marsh ever return to Philadelphia Mr..
Wanamaker might be somewhat embnr'

In fact, his statement was decidedly
pointed.
Mr.. WanamAker had in 1901 fully con

with the bank had been legal and honor
