MONEY FOR FIGHTING SHIPS.
Estimates for the Navics of France
md Russia.

The French naval estimates. just issued.
show some interesting changes. The total
amount appropriated is $60.00o.0o0, which
is 81 coo 600 more than in the previous
year. The greater part Of this increase is
due 10 guns.
Fer construction purposes S2e.oC0.o00 is
asked, and this is $3.50 600 more than for
the current year. 1t has not yet beer de-
cided, according to the latest adyices re-
ceiyed here. what new vessels will be or
dered. but there is a fairly large pro-
gramme to advance, although II is made up
mostly of small craft.
Two authorized cruisers Of 1900 tons
each and To have twenty-siX TO t.enty-
seven knots speed have not yet been or
dered The design with this high speed is
not easy OF solution. The ships recently
laid down include two battleships, oCe at
private works and the other. the Marseil-
laise at Brest; two submarine torpedo
boats at the Government dock yards and
four by contract; four squadron torpedo
boats by contract; eleven torpedo boats,
four torpedo boat destroyers and two
river gunboats building in England
The Russian naval estimates for this
year amount TO a total Of S4B, ,0e0.D coo. as
compared with SIC, 600 900 last year, but
the slBDiEChutt VI lAt iANi ~ 49,
marked when II is noted that at the be-
ginning of this decade 22,o00.000 was con-
sidered large expenditure on the Russ. An
Navy, irrespective of special naval schemes
which are now the fashion in Russia as
with other nations
The amount that Russia will expend this
year on new construction is $4,000, 900.
An interesting feature Of the estimates Is
the sum required for strategic harbors. In
the current year 50 600, 600 was voted for
Port Alexander III and for Vladiyostok.
Next year there will be expended at the
former 81 GOO, 600 and at the latter S1,600,-
600. and at the new Far Eastern Russian
port OF Port Arthur, which appears in the
estimates for the first time, a similar
amount. Thus for the three harbors over
s.. geo coo is to be expended, as compared
with s.. 600. 600 for the present year.

A GREAT OCEAN STEAMER.
Dimensions of the Newly Launched
Haniburg-American Liner.

John E Kehl, United States Consul, TO
Stettin has written to the State Depart
ment a description of the new German
steamship Deutschland as follows:
THE Deutschland, launched at the vul-
can yards, in Stettin. on January 10. 1900.
is intended to be a record breaker. The
Hamburg American Line, on whose ac-
count the steamer is being built. at u
cost Of 1892 600. expects to have her in
service between New York and Hamburg
the coming summer. as a competitor TO
the Kaiser Wilhelm der Crosse, OF the
North German Lloyd Line.
''The following description will give an
idea of the stupendous proportions Of the
new steamship: Length over all. 6S4 feet;
beam, 81 feet; nodded depth. "A feet; dis
placement loaded, 23,200 tons; measure
ment 1920 tons registered; horsepower,
SO. coo; weight at time OF launching, $500
tons.
THE Deutschland is built according to
the German Lloyd requirements for high
est register of the urdeck-ship class.
with her steering gear and rudder pro-
tected and under water line in compli-
ance with instructions from the Imperial
Navy Department, at whose disposal the
ship would be In the event Of war as
cruiser.
Steam Is supplied from Il double anu
single boilers, with liz fires, which drive
2 six-cylinder quadrupIe expansion ham
mer engines of SO, 900 horsepower. The
two propeller shafts are each 1928 feet
long and 24.S inches in diameter; each OF
the bronze propellers being 22.96 feet in
diameter.
1.-The ship has double bottom extend
ing its entire length, which Is divided into
"a compartments; 10 exceptionally strong
bulkheads extending from keel to main
deck and l longitudinal bulkhead in the
engine room divide the steamer into II
water tight compartments. 1t is claimed
that il two adjoining compartments were
to fll with water the ship would not sink.
The Deutschland is supposed to have ac-
comnodations for 1,057 passengers and a
crew of SIS. There are 26S frst-c.ass
cabins. 80 second-class cabins. and ac
connmodations for 200 steerage passen-
gers The first cabin dining saloon is To-
Gated amidship on main deck, and has
seating capacity of 1862.

Floods aud Nbeir Cause.

New York and New England have en-
tered upon their annual season of tribu-
lation from floods and washouts. The
trouble and expense caused by these 'oc-
currences' can hardly be estimated Not
only are mills forced to shut down, dams
and bridges destroyed, and roads ruined,
but stil graver consequences come from
the sudden melting OF snow along river
banks and the rapid drainage of a heavy
rainfall into the streams. Floods sweep
away buildings, ruin farm lands, and un-
dermine railroad bridges. so that, without
unceasing wstchfulness, the most horri-
BILE railway accidents are likely to occur.
There is no doubt that great part of this
trouble is due to the wanton destruction
of forests; and il it is not stopped and
past depredations atoned for as far as
may be. other parts of the country may
suffer from the same disasters.
When the pioneer came TO this country
it was natural that he should consider
it his first duty to clear away the stand
ing timber and convert woods into mead
ows and pastures. II was necessary and
right that he should do this in his time.

The speed at which the car uIRS depends upon

through each motor separately, and thence
to the rails. each machine will receive the effect
OF the whole electro-motive force OF the current:

POLITICAL NOTES AMI GOSSIP.

Bryan vs.. Mckinley.-It is beginning
to dawn upon the politicians of all sorts
and conditions that at least so far as his
party relations are concerned Bryan Is
much more happily circumstanced than is
Mr.. Mckinley. With the yielding of Cor
man, practically all of the harassing op-
position to the Nebraskan's nomination
by acclamation on the first ballot has dis
appeared. While at present there is no
probability of an open fight on Mr.. Nc
Kinley. yet it is evident that his party
troubles are just beginning. What would
have happened if he had not beat hasty
retreat from his Porto Rican free trade
position at the behest of the Connecticut
tobacco. interests nobody pretends TO
know though the fact that the President
considerable expedient to retreat is ac-
ceptef asi}roof that he feared serious per-
sonal troubles. And now the Hay Paunce-
fote Treaty threatens him with the same
kind of trouble from which he has just
fed. Governor Roosevelt is playing the
popular string on that issue. At the same
time the Rough Rider has hurled defiance
at the administration and at the Piatt
machine on the Vice Presidential matter.

New York. There is no man in his party
who Is giving Bryan tithe OF the trouble
Roosevelt is making for Mr.. Mckinley

FOR THE

The coming session of the legisla-
ture will not be void of interest by any
means. Many important measures
will be presented and an entire new
apportionment of the state made. The
game law will be amended, the bank
ing law, and the revenue and taxation
laws will each receive attention; pro-
hibition, divorce, Office tenure and elec-
ton laws will be subjects of much
strife and the appropriation bills Will
be discussed with universal interest at
this session owing to the condition of
the states finances. As usual the
Bismarck Tribune will cover the news
completely, and fairly. A special rate
in the state at large will be made for
the daily edition. 1t will be sent,
postage paid, from now until after
the session closes for 81. 1t will cost
no more to begin now than the first of
the year. Send address to Tribune,
