GREAT BATrLEsHIPa
Plans Being Worked out For Three New
Ones six New Cruisers to
lie Built


WASHINGTON, March S.--The plans
for the three big battleships authorized
by the naval appropriation bill just
passed are being worked out. The bat.
tleships viii be 1000 tons larger than
the Maine and Missouri class, of. total
displacement of 1880 tons, making
them by far the largest ships in the
american navy and about equal in di.
mensions to the best type Of battleships
now being constructed abroad, under the
new practice.
AS far as these particular ships are
concerned, the fact that the navy de-
partment is limited to $500 per ton in
the purchase of armor makes it impossi-
BILE to build them in the absence Of
further legislation, and the department
will be obliged TO content itself with
the mere preparation of detailed plans
during the coming summer.
The six cruisers of the unarmored
type provided for can, however, be
built. IL Is tho purpose of the navy de-
partment to place contracts for these
ships ut the earliest possible moment.
They represent type of cruiser which
would be of the greatest value juDt now
for our foreign service. The plans call
for vessels of about 1900 tons, and the
ships will be improved Marbleheads, 80
to speak, being 600 tons larger than
ships of that class, and with better bat
teries and more coal capacity.

SILVER A LEGAL TESDER.

Not often will Republican gold stan
dard organs admit that silver Is legal
tender as well ss gold. The Cleveland
Leader, however, in It's Issue OF Monday,
March 6. admitted the constitutional
fact in answering an enquiry as folio ws:
For what sums are silver, nickls and
copper coins OF the United States legal
to lder2 III,
North Fairfield, o.
Silver dollars are legal tender for any
amount, Smaller silver coins are legal
tender for sums not exceeding ten dol
lars. The tive-cent nickel and the
bronze coins are legal tender for not
more tnan rs cents.
Some people will believe the fact m ore
readily coming from such an authority
as the Leader. Congress may regulate
the coinsgs, but has no power to dis
place silver as tender in payment OF
debts, as the constitution 30 declares.
1t being conceded that silver, as we'll
as gold is legal tender in payment OF
debIs, the outrage upon the American
people will be seen when
our government obeyed the bond hold
ing and money shylocks, and treated
gold as the standard, And now this
administration and the Republican
party are fully committed to the single

more surprised when he took into con-

engaged in that battle. 1t seemed to
MIN that almost every officer in that

ROME, March 6.-The pope, who was
in excellent spirits on rising Sunday
morning, desired the attendants in the
ante-chamber to attend mass in his
own room.
A bulletin was issued saying in part:
ellis holiness passed quiet night,
getting several hours sleep. All tho
natural functions, the pulse and the
temperature, are normal. 1t has not
been necessary to re-examine the
wound"
His holiness, who rose about 10: 80
Sunday, returned to bed about 1880

diet and his. condition, mentally and
physically, is good.
He engaged his physicians in CONVEX

the entire last portion of the seventh
canto of Dante's Paradise" comment

Prof. Mazzoni afrerward said:

CHARLESTON, w. Va, March 6.--The
Kanhwha valley was visited by one of
the worst floods in local history. After
several days of heavy rainfall the Kama
wba river in an unprecedented short
time covered almost the entire valley.
Charleston was almost entirely under
water. Four feet surrounded the state
capitol. The mayor and leading citi-
zens opened relief station and arc dis
tributing provisions and clothing among
the suffering. Considerable damage
was caused to the coal property along
the Kanawha river.
Hundreds Of families are quartercd in
the city building, capitol, courthouse
and other buildings Much distress pre-
walls. Considerable distance Of the Kar
nawha and Michigan railway between
here and Point Pleasant was under
water, and it will be three or four days
probably before traffic is resumed.
CINCINNATI, March 6.-The weather
bureau at this point sent out danger sig
nails to Point Pleasant, Catlettsburg and
Portsmouth. The heaviest rise is in the
Great Kanawha, but the Little Ka-
nawha, the Big Sandy, the Licking and
the Kentucky rivers were pouring in
tremendous floods. The weather last
night was windy, clear and cold. This,
together with the fact that tho warm
weather Of the ten days preceding this
storm all the snow was melted in the
mountains and tho floods therefrom car
ried well down the river, may prevent
serious flood.
At all points on the Ohio river, from
Gallipolis to the Kentucky river, the
Ohio was rising.
Unless the floods in the Tennessee
and Cumberland rivers should prove
much greater than anticipated, and thus
cause some back water, the maximum
stage here at Cincinnati will probably
not exceed 90 feet, unless there is moro
rain. Should it reach that stage it will
stop cars from running into the Union
Central station.
PITTsBURG, March GA high stage OF
water, possibly 81 feet, was predicted
for the Pittsburg harbor this morning.
The recent rains had swollen the tribu-
taries of the Monongahela. Reports
along the river showed that the water
was rapidly rising, although there was
not the force of snow and ice behind il
to really make It dangerous At Davis
Island dam last night the river stood
14.8 feet.
At lock No. the river stood 20 feet
and was rising. In the opinion Of the
lock superintendent the water will go
much higher, although he did not think
there was any danger of flood. At
Greensboro the river was 21.5 feet and
ut West Newton it stood 1874 feet y
"high river" in the vernaoular Of the
riverman.
The Allegheny was also coming up
rapidly, and the residents along tho
banks were removing everything from
the cellars in order to be prepared for it.
