TEACHING OF CLASSICS.
Ruling Relative to the Christian

Ruling Relative to the Christian
Brothers Schools In America.
NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-A dispatch to
the Herald from Rome says:
The sacred congregation of the pro-
paganda has made it's report on the
dispute between the heads of the
Christian Brothers in the United
States and the French superiors of the
order relative to the teaching of the
classics in the Brothers American
schools.
After consideration of the statement
submitted by Archbishop Patrick w
Riordan of San Francisco, the congre-
cation rules that the American claims
to greater latitude in teaching than is
permitted in Europe are inadmissible
1t is expected that the Pope will con-
firm the report at once.
Cardinal Satolli, who drafted the re-
port, said: Just as the Americans
adhere to their national Constitution
so the Christian Brothers must main
tain theirs. That constitution forbids
the teaching of the classics

American schools of the Christian

bernstein, the head of the order, was

THREE new BATTLESHIPS.
THE AMERICAN NAVAL BOARD
OF CONSTRUCTION
Agrees Upon Plans for Warships
That Will Surpass Every
thing Now AAoat.

NEW YORK, Dec. 30.-A special to
the Tribune from Washington says:
Designs for the greatest battleships
ever projected for the American navy
were agreed upon by the Naval Board
of Construction to-day after several
months of discussion over the important
questions of battery, armor, speed, coal
capacity and displacement. The three
new vessels-to be called the Georgia,
the New Jersey and the Pennsylvania
will equal in formidability the finest
line battleships yet laid down by any
foreign Power, and with the addition of
typical American improvements, will
surpass in fighting force any ships now
afioat The salient features of the de-
sign contemplate a displacement of
$4,000 tons as compared with the Ore
CONS 11,O00 or the new Names 1890.
The speed is to be cat least 10 knots, -
with a coal capacity OF 1900 tons.
There will be two super imposed tur-
rets, one fore and the other aft, each
containing two 12-inch and two S-inch
of the new elongated bore and high
smokeless powder velocity. The re-
naming guns of the main battery will
consist of twelve 6-inch quick frers in
broadside. This arrangement of bat
terry has been finally adopted instead Of
an alternative plan which provides for
four 12-inch guns in turrets and six
teen 6-inch broadside, which had been
put forward to avoid the expedient Of
superimpoSed turrets.
The board definitely determined upon
the use of the most modern Kruppized
armor for the new vessels, it's precise
distribution to be decided upon after the
chief constructor has made sufficient
progress with the actual plans to de-
termine the proper arrangement of
weights. The armor problem has been
the most difficult to solve, and to this
cause is attributable the delay in plan
ming the ships. The Act authorizing
the vessels was approved on March Sd
last, and it stipulated that no contract
should be made for any portions of the
vessels until a contract was made for
the armor Congress having limited the
cost of armor to the ridiculous price of
$500 ton, it was evident from the be-
ginning that no satisfactory ship could
be built under such restriction and for
that reason the plans have been dis
cussed with unusual elaboration.
AS the weight OF armor entering into
these ships was a very large item, the
question of the adoption of Krupp or
Harveyized material was extremely i'm
portant. This can be readily appreci-
ated from the fact that 1900 tons of the
former (the approximate weight re-
quired for each battleship) is equivalent
as regards resistance to penetration to
1000 tons of the latter.
