LEVIATHANS FOR PACIFIC

Newport News (Va.), February
E6.-The general dimensions of
the two large Pacific Mail liners,
the contracts for which have been
awarded to the Newport News
Shipbuilding and Drydock Com
pany, are given out semi-officially
as follows: Length, $50 feet;
beam, 63 feet; draught, 31.5 feet;
ground depth, 40 feet; displace-
ment, 1880 tons, and speed,
eighteen knots. Both ships will
be luxuriously fitted out for pas
senger service, and in addition
will have superior facilities for
handling freight and United
States mails.
While the contract speed is put
down as eighteen knots, it is
known here that the builders will
endeavor to give the vessels a
higher rate of speed than that.
The Pacific Mail Company, it is
understood, has contracted with
the Government to reduce the
mail passage between San Fran
cisco and ports in China, and it is
with this object in view that the
two steamships will be built here.
1t is reported that the fastest time
now between the two countries
will be reduced by from twelve to
eighteen hours.
When finished these ships will
be the largest ever built in an Am.
erican shipyard. Compared with
the American liner st. Louis, the
largest American-built ship afloat
today, the Pacific Mail ships will
be OF 7S70.79 tons greater displace-
ment, l4.5 feet longer and will
have a draught AZ feet greater.
The beams Of the two ships are
the same. When the vessels are
completed they will rank third in
displacement among the notable
big ships afoat. The Oceanic,
now build ling in England, will
have a displacement of %, 500 tons.
The Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse
has displacement of 10000 tons.
The Pacific Mail ships will rank
next with 1880 tons. The Cam
pania, though her general dimen-
sions are larger, has only $1,000
tons displacement. A large cleo.
trio csntllever, $50 feet in length,
is being constructed in the north
end Of the shipyard, and under
this, one on each side, the Pacific
Mail leviathans will be built.

In recent railway accident at STAN

ground to pieces under the car wheels.
After laborious work on the part Of
the postal authorities the remnants of
mail matter were pasted together and
forwarded to their destination. One
of the startling results of the work of
the postal experts is the following, re-

"Mr. -, Upton, Ia:

pleasure to have you remit at once. We

Tint DeceitfuI Telephone.

A woman who has been a victim of in
digestion and is kept to dyspeptics' diet

She went to her telephone, and, trust

she began her plaintive query without
any prefaratory: rs that you, doc

pie coming in with checks in their hands
that have been refused at the banks.
This is due to a technicality, and in
most cases is Strengthened out by the
paymaster. One woman went to the
office one day last GEEK, and said she
had cashed a check for $50 for soldier.
She had sent the check, with several
others, to one of the city banks, on
deposit. The check had been forward
ed to Chicago bank for collection, and
the Chicago bank refused to cash it,
for the reason that in indorsing it, the
soldier had failed to add his position,
company letter and regiment number
to his signature. This is the case in
many instances. The checks are all
sent back here and Paymaster Pickett
certifies to the missing identiications
in most cases.
