The Teresn's Armament.
We now come to the battery of this
good ship. 1t consists of two 11-inch
breech-loading guns, one forward and
one aft, mounted In the barbettes of 10
inch armor, covered with a rounded
hood: ten 5.5-inch rapid-fire guns, ar
ranged in broadside, but so that the
forward and after two can be fired
ahead ard astern: two 2.75-inch rapid
firers. ten of the smaller caliber rapid
fire and eight machine guns.
She is fitted with eight torpedo tubes,
only two of which are submerged.
The coal bunkers of the Teresa. so
situated as to afford additional protec-
ton to the vitals of the ship. can
carry 1850 tons, sufficient to enable
the vessel to steam 300 miles.
Enough has been said to indicate
what a fine ship We are getting. An
other equally good. perhaps even bet
ter, since she is of later construction
and more modern equipment, is the
Cristohal Colon.
The Cristobal Colon.
The Cristobal Colon is a sister ship
of the Garibaldi. one of the six vessels
provided for in the Italian naval pro-
gramme of 1891. She was built and
engined completely by Messrs. Ansaldo
& Co. OF Sestri Ponenti and Sampler
darena, near Genoa.

The Albany.
Before closing this account Of addi-
lions to our navy as the result of the
war, mention should be made of the
ship we have bought but have not yet
acquired. She is the Albany, now
completing at the yards of Sir William
Armstrong, at Elswick, England. She
is a sister vessel of that excellent
cruiser, the New Orleans, that has done
such effective work on the blockade on
Santiago. Her dimensions are:
Length, $50 feet; beam, 43 feet 8
inches; mean draught, II feet. Her
displacement is about $500 tons. She
is constructed of steel, is wood-sheath-
ed and coppered. Her highest speed
is estimated at over 20 knots, and he:
coal capacity of 700 tons is estimated
to be sufficient to enable her to steam
5000 miles.
But the distinguishing characteristic
of the Albany and her sister, New Or

Judge Aiken took the federal judiciary to
task again for its assumption of the right
to treat corporation as foreign citizens,
saying, This law made by the federal
court is wrong. Il is un-American, it is
un-Anglo-Saxon, It is Russian, to trans
fer the trial of cases from the vicinage in
which the parties live and the causes of
action arise. No corporation should have
the right simply because it is chartered
by another state to defeat the rights of a
citizen to compel justice from that cor
poration in the courts of the state where
1t, in fact, resides and does business. If
it be really a foreign corporation, it is in
one sense an alien, and no sovereign state
should permit an alien, and especially an
artificial creature without moral RESPONSE
blity, to come within her borders and re-
fuse to submit to her courts as to rights
and wrongs, beginning and ending within
the state. The state, and if necessary the
national legislature, should make submits
