LAUNCH OF THE ALBANY.
She VIII be n Formidable Fighting
Ship.

Newcastle, Jan. 13.-The American
Orleans. which was bought from Brazil
while uncompleted shortly before the OFT
break of the war with Spain, will be
launched here tomorrow.
The correspondent of The Times today
saw Mr.. Carter. manager for the a. M
strongs, who superintendent the building
of the Albany. He described the ship as
"a very nice little boat and said that in
the British navy she would be rated as a
third class cruiser, but that in the points
of speed and armament she equaled a
second-class cruiser. He added that she
was built from Brazilian specifications,
which the United States approved when
she was purchased.
The Navy Department subsequently in
troduced a few American ideas which
were matured during the war. Whatever
experience the New Orleans behavior had
taught the department had been taken I'D
vantage of. The Armstrong; had incor-
porated improvements wherever 1t was
possible. These, however, were slight, and
amounted to nothing that would material
" affect power, capacity, speed or arma-
ment, in which the Albany was practically
Identical with the New Orleans, hut would
facilitate the working of the ship give
greater freedom of movement and increase
the accommodations for officers and crew.
Mr. Carter refused to commit himself TO
any superlatives concerning the CONSTITUTE
ton or capabilities of the Albany beyond
saving that she would be a very good YES
sci of her class.
The Times correspondent also saw AS
sstant Naval Constructor Henry Gillmor,
United States Navy who has been in New
castle since September supervising the
construction of the Albany. Mr.. Giilmor
said that he was very much pleased with
the vessel because he thought that she
would be extremely comfortable and be-
cause she carried a considerably higher
battery than most ships of her size. She
differed frCm other vessels Of the United
States Navy in being sheathed. This gave
her the capability of remaining longer
without docking, so he thought she would
prove a very efficient vessel for foreign
service. She would also be an excellent
fighting ship because she was armed with
large rapid-fire and 50-calibre guns which
are much longer than any other. guns in
the American service.
In dimensions, lines. etc, The Albany
was an absolute repetition of the New Or
leans, but would be more effective yes
sci, because the Government had bene-
fitted from the experiences of the New Or
leans, which had enabled the perfection Of
detail where improvement was admissible.
The most important difference between the
two ships was that the Albany would not
be fitted with torpedo tubes. 1t had been
found that in war, in ship of the AL
bangs class, torpedoes were source of
more danger than strength, they being la
bic in unprotected positions TO be struck
by shell and exploded
Mr.. Gillmor added that the interior ar
rangements of the Albany differed cOusid-
erably from those of the New Orleans. The
captains quarters had been rearranged
and the size Of the junior and warrant
officers quarters somewhat increased.

Mr.. Carncgie's Library GIFT.

Washington needs library-a public Ii
brary from which books can be drawn
more than it needs anything else at this
moment 1t is the only city OF nearly
three hundred thousand people in the land
that expends less than forty thousand dol
lars a year TO support such library; the
only large city in America that has pub
lie library of less than sixty thousand vol
umes Even cities no larger than Syracuse

thousand volumes including all new publ
cations Of value.
In an old residence building in New
York Avenue. on the second floor, is u
room of moderate dimensions in which are
collected some books. mostly presented by
generous people. This is the beginning of
the public library Last Tuesday the room
and the hall were crowded all day by
people who wanted to take out tickets for
the privileges of the institution. The citi-
Gems of Washington are no less eager than
these of any other city to read books. In
deed, there is larger proportion OF the
classes that use library books, Hitherto

books can be taken. 1t has been one of
the perennial causes of surprise to visitors
that Washington is without so essential an
institution and it has been difficult TO find
an explanation of that social defect.
The long cherished hope that the Com
missioners would provide, as all other
cities have done, for public circulating
library, or that some millionaire resident
would devote enough of his fortune to
the cause to make a proper building and
an adequate collection of books secure has
been disappointed. Now comes Mr.. Carne-
gle, the iron monarch who has given libra
ry buildings to Pittsburg and Allegheny
City, with generous proposition. If Con-
gress will offer a site he will give a quar-
ter of a million dollars for the erection
of building-Congress TO increase the
annual library appropriation TO not less
than ten thousand dollars. The only other
condition is that the institution shall be
free to the public, under the rules COM
monty established In other cities.
The Introduction of the necessary bill
will be prompt and the donation of the
There is nothing in the way of the in
slant acceptance OF the gift and an early
beginning of the work. The sum pro-
posed is large enough to put up building
that will be creditable to the ma
tion's capital, provided the architects
of the country are invited to pre-
sent plans. There is still an opportunity
fer wealthy persons who are interested in
the welfare of the Capital to contribute TO
the enterprise. The annual appropriation
of ten thousand dollars is insufficient. A
considerable part of it must go for sal
aries and current expenses SO that the
residue 10 be applied TO the purchase of
books is small. In Milwaukee, city with
smaller population than this, there is a
public library building that cost more
than half a million and there is an annual
appropriation of nearly fifty thousand
dollars for its support. Anybody who
makes a bequest to the book purchasing
fund of the Washington library may be
sure that his money is applied to a most
beneicent purpose.

Relief Commission would protect him.
The same promise does not seem to have
protected General Miles in giving his
straightforward and decorous testimony as
to facts within his official knowledge,
from vicious personal persecution by the
rotten beef combine in and outside of the
War Department! But that is not the
main question at this moment.
If President Mckinley can be induced
by Alger, or anyone else, to decree that
witnesses are to be permitted TO attack
the veracity and private character of their
brother or superior officers without let
or hindrance, there is nothing, except,
perhaps, the subserviency of the Alger
Relief creatures TO their creator, 10 pre-
vent some person with a grievance against
the Secretary Of War from exploiting as

other were to take advantage of it and
electrify the country with written state
ment, alleging reasons of political,
manufacturing and personal character,
why the COMMUNICATIVE Chief should feel
compelled TO support Alger and Algerism
