The Albany Slid Into the Water at the
Armstrong Yards.


Armstrong Yards.
NEW CASTLE, England, Jan. 1.-THE
United States cruiser Albany was success
fully launched this afternoon in the pres
ence of the United States naval attache,
Lieutenant Colwell, and many others.
The Albany was christened by Mrs. Col
we'll. Afterward Sir Andrew Noble, vice
chairman of Sir w G. Armstrong & Co.
Qimted). proposed success to the vessel,
and in doing so regretted the absence of the
United States charge d'affaires. Henry
White, who, however, telegraphed wishing
the Albany a successful career as sister
ship of the New Orleans, which, Mr. White
added has given great satisfaction to her
officers and crew. Sir Andrew Noble added
that it would be a pleasure for the whole
country to know that the vessel was built
here for the United States, because every
thing tending to chosen the ties between
Great Britain and the United States must be
a source of pleasure to every Engiishman."
Continuing the vice chairman remarked:
THE Americans must be proud of the quail
ties exhibited by their navy during the war
recently closed. These same qualities of
pluck and dash the British navy has in
variably displayed. The Americans con-
Quoted the war without theatrical display,
waiting patiently until their plans had prop
erly matured."
Lieutenant Colwell, in responding, said the
guns on the New Orleans were admittedly
better tnan any OF the american guns, ana
that the Americans were to build their
guns on the same model
Chairman Taylor, of the American So
ciety, toasted the Elswick builders. He said /:
Americans need not blush to be of Anglo
Saxon blood. When the American and Brit
ish nations are joined back to back they
can defy the world, and, marching shoulder
to shoulder, great blessing to civilization
will be assured"

The number of such employees killed has
been reduced one-half, and the number OF
injured also practically reduced one-hal1
The reduction in the number of accidents
from all causes largely exceeded in a single
year the entire casualties during the late
war.
Application of the self-coupling device and
other safety appliances is now being seri-
ously considered in Great Britain, where
the ratio of lives lost to the number of men
employed in coupling aud uncoupling cars
is reported to be l to $50. The ratio in this
country has been reduced to / man killed
out of each 600 injured in coupling and I'M
coupling cars.
Figures submitted by a leading railroad
company indicate that the automatic coupler
will save a very large sum annually in COM
pariSon with the expense incurred in former
years in applying and maintaining the link

reduced cost to the roads resulting from
fewer suits for damages by injured en-
ployeS The master car builders coupler,
which is now superseding all other types,
was brought into use by the necessities OF
railroad development. For instance, in the
application Of the train brake appliance
there was TOO much play or slack in the link

successfully operated. The automatic coup

LEEDY MAY FIGHT.
Former Governor of Kansas Demands
an Apology. from Mr.. Brown.

WICHITA, Kan, Jan. 14.-Former Gov
ernor Leedy and eX-Representative Brown
may fight duel. Mr., Brown issued his
challenge Tuesday and Mr.. Leedy has just
answered. He says that while he thinks
Browns challenge both cowardly and I'M
manly, he does not propose to be thus OPEN
ly insulted continuously by. such a 'low
cur" as Mr.. Brown. Mr.. Leedy goes on to
say that while he does not believe in coming
to such a low state as to fight with rapiers,
this insult must either be swallowed or he
will know the reason why. The challenge
of Mr.. Brown, said Mr.. Leedy, must either
refute his statement calling Mr.. Leedy a
liar. there would be trouble that would
end fatally for one" His friends at once
cried duel, and Mr.. Brown said: Yes, that's
what you call it." Mr.. Leedy is expert at
sword practice or at least he had that repu-
tation in college. Mr. Brown is an expert
shot.
Mr.. Leedy, in an interview. said: 81 see
Well, that's all bosh you know, but if the
worst comes l am not afraid to fight him.
The idea of such a cur choosing to call me
a liar"
Mr.. Leedy has sent a personal message to
Mr.. Brown, which the latter has given to
the press. In this message Mr.. Leedy says:
Your letter in which you intimate chal-
lenge is received through a marked copy Of
a newspaper, and | take it as my duty to
answer, not because think you are of
enough consequence, but that the people
should know the truth. l do not think that
you are serious in this duel matter. If so,
1t was cowardly in you TO challenge me
through a newspaper interview as you did,
You should come to me personally if you are
so DESTROYS of fighting as you say"
The former Governor at this point in the
communication tells of the trouble in the
House of Representatives at Topeka where
Mr. Brown accused Mr. Leedy of selling a
requisition paper for $50 and Mr.. Leedy
a special Brown a
liar Leedy concludes: Il still call you a
liar, and will say so to your face This
matter must be Strengthened out. l await
an apology from you for dragging this thing
into print"

servations in this country have strengthened
his pro- Russian views and adds: The in
terests of the United States and England
are radically antagonistic, and the attempt
to foster an alliance is an artificial move
ment so far as England is concerned. It
has not captured the hearts Of the
device with two airns-first, to divert Amer
ica's attention from conflicting interests in
her own hemisphere; second, to make the
United States Great Britain's catspaw in
her diplomatic game in the East. She thinks
that If she can point to the United States
as an ally she will be able to extort bet
ter terms from Russia. What America
wants in the East is trade, and she will do
more by cooperation with Russia than by
antagonizing Russia. The latter already
practically controls China and will give the
United States what she wants if friendly.
1t would be madness for England and Amer
lea to attempt to coerce Russia into con-
cessfons. The combined nations of the
world could not whip Russia, any more than
they could the United States. The most they
could do would be TO lombard a few coast
towns while Russas railroads could pour
so many soldiers into China that any the
United States and Great Britain could send
would be a handful in comparison"

SAW NO ~EMBALMEDY BEEF.
Testimony of Army Officers Before the
Investigating Commission.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 14.-Major H. H.
Carlton, inspector general of the staff of
General Wilson, and Captain Frederick A.
Smith, new chief commissary of the De-
partment of the Lakes, Chicago, and who
inspected the first cargo of beef landed at
Santiago, were the only witnesses before the
war investigation commission to-day. Both
depicted the food conditions, the former as
to Porto Rico and the latter as to Cuba,
in roseate colors, and said there had been
no material complaint. General Humphreys,
chief quartermaster with the Shafter ex-
petition, who has come on from Havana
at the urgent summons of the commission,
appeared, but will not take the witness
stand until Monday, when there will also be
present representatives OF the Nelson MOTIFS
Packing Company.
Major Carlton, who opened the testimony,
said the rations furnished were exception
ally good, better than the average. The food
supplies were inspected thoroughly and
there was no fault that could be found. OF
course, he said, there We're lew cases
where everything was not in the best con-
dition bat only TO the extent that naturally
and frequently occurs where there are large
quantities of meats. The refrigerated beef
was excellent He said at Chickamauga the
officers seemed to want more to teach the
men 10 march and shoot than to train in
sanitary matters. At Porto Rico, OF course,
camps could not be kept in quite as good
sanitary condition as at home, but every
thing possible had been done
Captain Smith testified that the beef fur
nished at Santiago was excellent and that
treatment until he saw the published
charges.

REVISING HIS STATEMENT
GENERAL EAGAN PROBABLY PRUN-
ING HIS ATTACK ON MILES.
II He Eliminates the Objectionable
timOny Before War Commission.

WASHINGTON, JAM 1.-THE key to the
solution Of the difficulty between General
Eagan and General Miles was to-day in the
hands Of the former. The war commission
having called on him to modify his state
ment nothing can be done until he either
has revised his first declaration or has noti-
fed the commission of his refusal to do so.
1t is confidently expected by the best in
formed officials that the commissary general
will modify his statement to meet the criti-
cisms of the commission He himself will
make no statement touching his purposes,
Ii iting his answer to the statement that
he ad SO far taken no action. UnOfficially
WORD has reached the war investigation COM
mission that General Eagan is carefully ex-
punging the vituperative and Objectionable
portions and will shortly send it back to
the commission. When received it will be
carefully scrutinized by the commission and
If it be found that all the Objectionable
language is eliminated, will be voted upon
in executive session and probably accepted.
Opinions still vary as TO whether the with
drawal Of the offensive statements will end
the incident. The weight of opinion seems
to be that the President and Secretary
Alger, in whose hand the Cabinet rested the
whole matter after it's consideration yester-
Odys nave not yet IlaOo up llelE Lul4uS dS
to what course they shall pursue. General
Miles came to his office, but he had nothing
to contribute to the controversy. His posi-
ton, is, as already stated, that the matter
is one for the department to treat that it is
not incumbent on him to make any move
at this stage.
Commissary General Eagan denied himself
to visitors during the afternoon and was
closeted with two officers of his corps, the
belief being that he was devoting himself
to a revision of the statement that has
excited so much attention. Meantime the
officers of the War Department give no init
nation of their intentions respecting this
matter, though it is suspected that the
President has in mind some method of in
dicating his displeasure with the occur
