There is a gap OF two centuries from the time
OF the caravels until the first naval vessel was
built in this country This celebrated ship was
the Falkland, represented in the second picture

formally added to the Royal Navy March 2,
1886

stone of our naval glory.
From the days of the Constitution and her
numerous class that for fifty years ruled the

steam. and the next picture represents two types
of the earlier steam frigates, the POwhatan and
the Minnesota. The former a side wheel
vessel built at Philadelphia in 1880. The Min
nesota was of a class of six powerful auxiliary
steam frigates which were in their day the best
war vessels in the world. To this class belonged
the Roanoke and the Merrimac, both cut down
and converted into ironclads at the beginning
of the Civil War, one by the Federal and the
other by the onfederate authorities; the Frank

Since last March when the body. known as
the Building Trades Council Of Washing

has set up claim to being the legitimate
council representing the building trades OF
Washington. The local differences were
reported to the executive board OF the Ma
tionaI Building Trades Council. and since
then both factions have been anxiously
q waiting action of the general body in the
matter.

Treasurer Of the national organization,
wrote to Messrs. Spohn and Healy. who
belong to one OF the local factions. and
to the secretary Of the other faction. stat
ing that the national hody had decided not
to take any part in the settlement OF the
differences and. further, that it would not
countenance or recognize either faction
until their trouble had been amicable set

Under the circumstances neither Of the
local bodies claiming to be the legitimate

RUSHED BY M'GovERN.
Tommy White knocked Out in the
Third Rccnd.

NEW YORK. June 12.-Under the most
trying circumstances Terry McGovern. the
fe.ther-weight champion of the world.
knocked cut Tommy White. the clever
Chicago boxer, in the third round, at the
Seaside Sporting Club, Coney Island. to-
night. A defective electric light plant
caused no end of trouble.
In the first round the lights went out and
there was a wait Of eleven minutes before
the battle was resumed. Prior to the go.
the crowd numbering 5000 or more, had
been compelled to sit in darkness for over
half an hour. Because of the fact that
the lights might go cut for good, Meow
ern hurried the fight TO definite con-
clusion.
White recently fought six rounds with
McGovern in Chicago. and on the strength
CT that encounter he was matched 10 80
twenty-five rounds with the champion to-
night. White has always been looked upon
as one OF the cleverest boxers and ring
generals in the profession. and for that
reason it was thought he might be able to
give McGovern a stiff argument. As the
fight turned out, he was the easiest kind
Of mark.
McGovern was after his man from the
start In the second round White was
knocked down twice. and .as actually
saved by the gong. He landed few left
hand iabs in Terry's face and also used
his right more frequently than has been
his custom. but his blows were light. Nc
Govern paid no attention to them at all.
When the third round began 1t could be
seen that Whites stay would hr short.
McGovern simply overpowered his oppo-
nent with heavy rushes and blows that
beat down the Chicago mans guard and
knocked him to the floor as fast as he
could regain his feet. White. a moment
before being stopped. made a game rally.
He actually staggered the champion with
couple Of desperate swings. but that was
all. McGovern then smashed him all over
tho ring until a terrific stomach blow took
Whites steam away and he was counted
out while on one knee, vainly trying to
vn
