NOVEL NAVAL ADVICE.
A French Expert Recommends Slow
Battle Ships of Great Power.

From the Pan Mall Gazette.
| send YOU a few points from con.
vcrsation with NJ. Normaud, the noted
constructor Of war vessels, especially
torpedo boats, for the French govern
ment, of which class he has several
on hand NJ. Augustin NOrmaud re-
marked that undoubtedly France was
inferior to Great Britain in number of
warships, but that it was useless 10 at
tempt to decide beforehand the result
of a modern naval war. 1t could, how
ever. be accepted as a principle, both
as to naval lighting and warfare on
land, that different tactics must be
adopted by the weaker from those EN-"
plOyed by the stronger power. For the
weaker side to initiate the methods OF
the stronger must lead to disaster To
continue to compete with England on
the same lines, but with less money to
spend on naval aimaments. France,
having a large army TO maintain, would
lead 10 her being reduced to a position
of importance on the water.
The experienced constructor recon-
mends, in order to insure a change OF
success, the employment OF a different
strategy, opposite tactics, and dssim-
liar weapons from those adopted by the
adversary. 1t is of no use for France
10 build one ship when England Is
building three, copying at the same
time British types of vessel. The only
thing In which 10 initiate the navy OF
Albion is in it's numbers. He recon.
mends a general reduction i'm the speed
of French vessels in order to increase
their numbers, with also at the same
time an increase in their defensive
powers. A lesser feet of very rapid
vessels wouold be fatal; they would he
OF no use against the enemy's merchant
ships, which would sail under neil
tral flag. Tney could only use their
speed to escape from superior numbers.
So much is this question To the fore
that the government has aatuallv or
dered NJ Normaud TO build two ar
mored seagoing torpedo boats. which
are now being constructed in his yards,
In addition Ia others in the Mcditter-
ranean arsenals. The business Of bat
tleshiDs is 10 fight under tire most ia

The comedy is said TO be a powerful
one; the scenery was painted by Ar
thur Voegtlen. OF New York. The me-
chanical effects are remarkably clever,
while the plot is a well told story Of
the many crimes committed in the
great metropolis to crafty the greed

INDUSTRIAL J0TTINGS.
A Greater Number of Miles of Rail-
road Was Built in 1898
Than In Any Year
Since 1899.

Three thousand and eighteen miles
of new railroad have been built in
the United states during 1898. This
Is the most extensive construction
since 1892. according to the Railway
Age, of Chicago, which has compiled
a table of figures showing the distri-
button of construction in the various
states ana territories of the union with
the exception of New Hampshire, Mas
sachusetts, Rhode Island, Kansas and
Nevada where no building has been
done. Pennsylvania is in the list of
thirteen states in which more than 100
miles have been built, the figures being
1O5.42 miles on twenty-five lines. Can
ada has built 427.2S miles on fourteen
lines and Mexico 442.62 on fifteen lines
While the new work has been dis
tributed throughout the entire country
the greatest activity has been in the
south and southwest, where fifteen
states have built nearly one halC of the
total mileage, or 1, AS miles, while nine
Pacific coast states have added 43o
miles, and the middle northern states
of Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio
and Wisconsin, 532 miles. Aside from
the Washington county railroad in
x,
has been little new work in New Eng
land, and, although Pennsylvania has
built lO5 miles, there has been no i'm
portant roads constructed in this state
except the completed section of the
Buffalo, Rochester and Pittsburg eX-
tension, the Allegheny and Western.
The longest line built during the year
is the Pecos Valley and Northeast
ern, which is under construction from
Roswell, n. NJ, to Amarillo. Texas
206 miles and which has laid 166 miles
of track, leaving ~ miles to be COM
pleted during the month of January.
Among the other important new lines
are the El Paso & Northeastern, which
has been built from El Paso to Alamo
""rdo n. NJ eighty-siY miles, with a
branch twenty miles long. Tis railroad
IL DyIug DuItt by Scranton capitalists
In addition TO the above there are
several hundred miles of road on which
tracklaying is now in progress. or just
beginning and there are many hundred
miles more graded on which tracks
will not be laid until next spring. Al
together the coming year gives prom
Use of being one of far greater activity
in the matter of railway construction
than the year just closing. There are
many important lines projected in diff
ferent portions of the country, and the
indications point TO a good deal Of
building by transcontinental roads in
the way of cut-offs and branch lines
to develop new territory, most of which
is in the extreme northwest, where
there has been little new mileage added
in the last few years. The outlook has
not been better for ten years rast.

ANOTHER NINE FIRE.

Fire was discovered Friday after
noon at the opening of the old No. 3
slope of the Hollenback colliery, near
the corner OF New Market and Custer
streets, Wilkes Barre. The opening
was used by number of miners as an
entrance 10 the gangways where they
worked.
The fire had gained considerable
headway when the officials appealed
10 Chief st. John, of the Wilkes Barre
fire department. No. engine and q
number of fremen were dispatched to
the scene. The fire did not interfere
with the operation Of the colliery.. The
origin Of the fire is unknown, but It
is probably the work of a number OF
boys who are about there frequently.
IL will not occasion much damage.
