TWO MONSTER SHIPS.

The White Star steamer Oceanic
when is scheduled to make her first trip
from England to the United States this
week, marks the acme of the ship-build-
ing art. Though neither so broad nor
so deep as the once phenomenal Great
Eastern, she is twelve feet longer
draws seven feet more water, and ex-
ceeds her displacement by 1900 tons
The speed of the Oceanic is nearly dou-
BILE that of the Great Eastern, though
from one to two and a third knots less
than that Of such flyers as the Cam
pania, the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
or st. Paul. Here, then, is another new
ship in which speed is sacrificed 10
comfort and carrying capacity.
Tho Oceanic will have a crew of 400
and accommodate 40 first-class pas
sengers, 300 second class, and 1000 steer
age, making total of more than 21oC
persons that can find lodging aboard
without overtaxing the comfortable ca
pacity of the vessel. The maintenance
of such ship is no less gigantic an
enterprise than the building of it, and
the economy of the venture has been
called in question. Yet there is another
vessel on the ways that is nearly as
large as the Oceanic, and will be her
nearest rival in point of size.
The Deutschland of the Hamburg
American line, which is expected to be
ready to make her initial trip next
April, will be about the same breadth
as the Oceanic, and only II feet shorter
and consequently within five feet OF
the Great Eastern's length. The
Deutschland, however, will be built for
speed, since she is expected to make
2Sh knots an hour as compared with
the 20 allowed for the Oceanic. In the
first and second cabins she will carry
more passengers than the White sta,
boat, but many less in the steerage. &c
that her total capacity will be only
1920, as compared with 1710 for the
Oceanic. The Deutschland will be the
first flyer to be built within recent years
other new ocean steamers being con.
tent with moderate speed in view of the
greater economy of coal and the SAVING
of space for freight.
The operation of these monster ships
will be eagerly watched, for their CON
struction has involved the settlement Of
important questions Of marine archl-
lecture, and despite the confidence OF
the owners, the commercial woriG is
not yet convinced that these enormous
craft are both profitable and service
able. 1t has not been forgotten tina;

Much satisfaction is expressed at the
preliminary trials of the new battle
ships, Alabama and Kearsarge, because
of the speed developed Even under
conditions that were none too favorable,
the contract rate was exceeded in the
preliminary tests, and the mark moved
well up towards IS knots If the expec-
tations of still higher speed are realized
at the formal trial, the American navy
will have battleships rating as high as
some of the later European models.
The Spanish war showed that speed on
paper does not count unless the YES
sells are kept in prime condition, for the
Oregon proved actually faster than the
high-rated Spanish cruisers. Still,
there must be speed in the boat to be-
gin with, or condition will avail moth
ing. Hence the qualification at finding
that the new battleships are faster than
the contracts demanded.

What preposterous logic 1t is on which
the French general staff rely for the
conviction of Dreyfus. Listen to Gen.
Billot: Even If Esterhazy should be
proven a traitor, that would not prove
Dreyfus innocent. For in case Of es-
pionage 1t very often occurs that there
are several accomplices!" That is to
say If Esterhazy wrote the bordereau
then Dreyfus must have furnished the
information or delivered the papers
and he hence must be convicted. This is
a non sequitur worthy Of comic opera

The state board of health gives a good
recommend to the Rutland hospital for
tuberculous patients, and popular testi-
mony indicates that it is deserved. The
reported decline in contagious diseases
in the state is, of course, gratifying, but
it is only a repetition of the experience
Of other states that have undertaken TO
deal with such diseases in a systematic
and scientific method. 1t appears, more
over, that the boards warning against
a possible epidemic of smallpox, next
winter, has been needed, and local
boards are active in urging general vac
cination. In one or two places, there
has been something like revolt against
the enforcement of the law, but these
sporadic ebullitions count for little.
