NEW TYPE OF WARSHIP.
Torpedo Boat MacdOnOugh Has Novel
Features,

Features.
The MacDonough, which has been in the
course of construction during the past six
months at the works of the Fore River En-
gine Company, Weymouth, Mass, has
aroused great interest among naval
men, because it is one of new type
and is to be Of a fleet of fifty craft of
the same kind. The length of the boat is
242 feet, while the entire breadth of beam
Is only twenty-five feet. The vessel is four
teen feet deep from deck to keel and has a
displacement Of 40 tons. She draws six
feet eight inches of water. No part Of the
MacDonough is armored save the forward
coming towers. which are covered with
three-quarter-inch nickel steel.
The engines are only protected by the
coal bunkers, which extend for 100 feet
amidships on either slde and which have
a. capacity for $50 tons Of coal, sufficient to
provide a speed of fourteen miles an hour
for 1000 miles.
The outer hui! is of half-inch steel plates.
This shell would be pierced if struck by
projectile. The vessel, however, Is built
with twelve separate water-tight compart-
ments. There were two coming towers
Accommodations are provided for crew of
eighty officers and men, The ship presents
the innovation of having the officers quar-
ters forward and those of the crew aft
UEQefneatn tne living ueck ana FORWARD
the boilers is a water-tight deck.
A clever device of the Marlborough is
an arrangement of telescope masts mount
ed on the forward bridge, to which the
searchlight is fixed. These masts can be
shot up in a second, and quickly lowered.
The armament Of the MacDonough will
consist of four 14-pounder 3-inch rapid-fire
guns and three 6-pounders. The 14-pound-
ers will be placed one on top of the forward
tower and three on the center line Of the
vessel. One 6-pounder will be located on
each side Of the forward tower and the
other will be on the after bridge
The two 1S-inch torpedo tubes are located
in the stern, one forward and aft Of
the after coming tower The after one
will be used to discharge the torpedo when
the vessel Is swinging away from the OBJ
ject of attack and the forward one will be
more for broadside fire. Two spare tor
pedoes will be stored in water-tight cases
with water-tight covers, one each side
of the deck, located so that they can be
lifted by cranes to the torpedo tubes d.
rectIy from the cases.

THE THUNDERER's VIEW.
Declares England Cannot Agree to
the Amended Treaty.

the Amended Treaty.
LONDON, December 24.-The Times, In
an editorial on President McKinley's de-
cision to submit the Hay-Pauncefote canal
treaty to Great Britain, reproaches him
with shifting a dangerous responsibility
on the British government, and says:
THE President must bear the response
bility for any friction that may ensue. The
amended treaty Is a bargain to which We
cannot agree, and to which no reasonable
American who takes the trouble to reflect
upon our Side of the question can expect US
to agree.
when Senator Lodge announced that
Americans expect Europe to keep out of
America. he forgets that England is great
North American power, and means to re-
main such a power.
IF the HayPauncefote treaty is not
adopted in a form acceptable to US, we
shall stand quietly unpn our indubitable
rights under the Clayton-Bulwer treaty,
rights which cannot be affected by any ac-
ton the American Senate may choose to
take"

Interesting Perplexities in the Fourth
Maine District.

Interesting Perplexities in the Fourth
Maine District.
According to Bangor dispatch in today's
New York Herald politicians of the fourth
Maine congressional district are greatly ag-
itated by the fear that having been placed
upon the retired list of the navy, with a
pension Of s2,G25 year. Representative
Charles A. Boutelle may not, after all, re-
sign his seat in Congress. Among the anx-
ious ones are men who have long been act
lively seeking his place, carrying on their
canvass quietly through fear Of being de-
nounced for trying to profit at the expense
of man who is i'll.
1t is pointed out that there is no law to
prevent Mr.. Boutelle from collecting both
his salary and his pension and that he has
given no promise to resign as soon as the
bill to retire MIN should be passed. There
seems to have been a general understanding
that he would resign, but 1t does not appear
that this understanding is based upon any
thing substantial, being rather an assump-
ton founded upon the fact that he is an in
valid.
There are numerous candidates for Mr.
Boutelle's place prominent among them
being Gov. Llewellyn Powers whose term
will expire in two weeks; William Engel of
Bangor, a lumberman and politician; Prof
Rogers of the University Of Maine, 'and
Joseph e. Hall, Mr.. BouteIle's private Sec
retary
OF these candidates Gov Powers is far
the strongest.
