Cr,uei,m 81 Our new c.u,..r

The Scientific American. in a timely
and pointed article. calls attention 20
the weakness OF the plans Cor the six
nwe cruisers recently authorized. The
I naval board of construction has pro-
duced plans which are. as the Scicn-
tifc American points out, Il distnce
step backward. These new cruisers
are 20 be Of 3,400 tons displacement,
go feet load water line length, 43 feet
beam and 200 tons bunker capacity.
There il to be on each OF these ships
a battery consisting Of ten 5-inch rapid
fire guns, eight 6-pounders, two l.
Founders and two machine guns. They
are 10 have also a partially protected
Geek for one-third OF their length. The
Scientific American compares them
with the Montgomery In this manner.
The Montgomery being a cruiser OF
the unprotected class-that is, having
no protective deck, but merely a thin
'watertight' decks the ship which
naturally suggests Itself first for COM
p~arison. Her fun load displacement
is 1920 tons, or. adding $50 tons for
sheathing. say 1850 tons, which Is
1.120 tons less than that OF the new
ships. Yet is spite OF this disparity,
the smaller and older boats has the
sarne battery and two and one-half
knots higher speed; whereas on an in
crease Of owe ] 100 teas in ~displace-
ment, the new designs can only show
an advantage Of 800 tons OF coal and
two inches of steel laid on the slopes
Of the unprotected deck for a third or
the vessels length aanidships. The
Montgomery, moreover. carries two
torpedo tubes. The extra speed end
thu @Arnnln ntVtH &c nNr-at the axtrn anal
carried by the new boats. Sa that We
nave about 1000 tons OF displacement
u~naccounted for, even II we admit that
the accommodations for officers and
crew are improved" In it's editorial
comment upon the facts set forth II
calls attention to the provision OF the
act of authorization, by which the
builders viii be allowed to X pro-
posals either in accordance with the
departments plans or according TO their
own plans. II is TO be hoped that all
the proposals to build will be made ON
plans offered by the builders, for sure
ly there is not a shipbuilder in the
country who will be eager to make a
~retrograde movement In an art in which
we have proved ourselves the peer OF
any other nation. Cruisers of 3,40O
tons displacement and a speed OF six
teen and one-half knots an hour are
something of an anomaly after the
pointed lessons of the war with Spain.
1t is generally conceded by all naval
authorities that speed Is a prime re-
quisite in a cruiser, and 1t is absurd
to call for eighteen knots in new bat
tleships and accept sixteen and one
half knots in cruisers. The new cruis-
ers ought to be able to make at least
nineteen knots, and twenty would be
better.

The announcement that the vener-
able Captain J. w. Dicksey has passed
away will be received with sorrow
among his wide circle Of friends and
acquaintance. He died at $3.50 o'clock
last night at his home on South Front

and Fayetteville. After the war he was
also captain Of several steamers, but
for the past twenty years he has been
practically retired.
Captain Dicksey was harbor master
when the war broke out between the
states in 1861, but when the war came
IN he resigned and wen into the con-
federate service. He enlisted in the
Cape Fear Rif1emen and went with that
company to Fort Caswell in 1861. He
subsequently Joined Moore's battery
and served throughout the war. He
went with the battery to the front in
Virginia and was made a sergeant in
the same. He was in numerous bat
ties, but passed through the war with
out being wounded. He made a brave
soldier and ave the best years of his
life for his beloved south.
The deceased was twice married, and
leaves a widow and six children, the
latter being Mr.. w. G.. Dicksey, of
South Washington, N. c.; Captain P.
T. Dicksey, of Wilmington, now cap
tain of the government steamer Gen.
eral Wright now engaged in the river
and harbor work, Mr.. George H. Dick
sey, of this city; Mrs. Philip Shea, of
Richmond, Va; Mr.. Williams Dicksey
and Mr.. A. H. Dicksey, of Whining
ton The two latter children are his
second wife's.

ternoon at 4 O'Clock from the family
