Signor J. v. lombard, of this city, has
a grievance. The City Hall Commission

So he bounced down to the City Hall

Malicious SANDER.

I, G. w. Goeldner, have wilfully and
maliciously slandered the characters
Mrs. John Phillips and Peter Klaus with
out forethought on my part.
Now I am ready and willing to take
back all such SANDER against the
said parties, and that the same
is utterly false and untrue, and that I do
further agree to utter no more such talk
of this character about said parties from
this date on for evermore, and that a copy
of this shall appear in the Lewiston Tel
Ter for three consecutive issues.

the Spanish war and of the Chinese and
japanese vessels during their late war.
The speed of the ships will be is knots,
an advance of two knots over the Oregon
class but just equal to that of the new
Maine.
FOR protection against the enemy shot
the battleships will have but one belt of
arinor feet, inches broad, running
clear around the water line, ) feet, six
inches above and 4 feet below. 1t was
originally planned to have this armor IS
inches thick but the designers have now
reduced the thickness to II inches. This
change was made i'll order to strengthen
the easements which will be made seven
and one-half inches thick instead of FIVE
inches.
Altogether there is a notable absence
OF new features in the design of the bat
tle-ships, which fact, taken in connection
with the small amount of progress re-
ported in the designs for the Maine class,
may be an indication that our naval de-
signers have very nearly approached the
ideal battle-ship in their work. As far as
these particular ships are concerned, the
fact that the navy department is limited
to $500 per ton in the purchase of armor
makes it impossible to build them in the
absence of further legislation and the de-
partment 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, and
Chief Constructor Hichhorn has already
been working out the designs upon lines
approved by the board of bureau chiefs.
1t is the purpose of the navy department
to place contracts for the ships at the
earliest possible moment. They represent
a type of cruiser which would be of the
greatest value just now for our foreign
service. The plans call for vessels of
about 1000 tons and the ships will be i'm
proved Marbleheads, so to speak, being
600 tons larger than ships of that class,
and with better batteries and more coal
capacity. A most important consideration
is that they will be sheathed with wood
over the steel hull and fully coppered,
enabling them to keep the seas even in
tropical waters for many months without
being compelled to seek drydock The
battery will be made up of six fve-inch
guns for each ship. The cost will be con-
siderably more than that of the Marble
head, which was $o74,ooo for the amount
by congress was $I,I4I 500 each.
The difference is accounted for by the
many improvements made i'll the Marble
heads design, notable one being the
use of water-tube boilers, giving much
greater speed and economy.
