HOW THE MONITOR ARKANSAS
WILL BE LAUNCHED.
Newport News. Va, Nov. 5.-Next
Saturday morning at II O'Clock, the
United States monitor Arkansas. the
seventh naval vessel to be launched by
the Newport News Shipbuilding and
Dry Dock Company, will leave the
ways at the shipyard in the presence
OF several thousand spectators. and
for the first time her prov will kiss
the waters of the historic James. On
account of the recent death of Coils
L. Huntington, founder and owner of
the shipyard, the ceremony will be
very simple, nothing to compare with
previous naval launchngs here, but
the probability is that large crowd
will witness the event. This will be
the first launch at the shipyard this
year and the first naval launch since
October. 1898 when the great battle
ship Illinois took her initial plunge in
to the James. For this reason crowd
of no small proportions is expected to
be present, the neighboring cities and
counties contributing their usual num-
Der of interested spectators.
Miss Robbie Jones, the sponsor who
will christen the monitor as the ship
starts down the ways, will arrive in
the city from Little Rock, Ark. prob
ably Thursday or Friday. accompanied
by her father and mother Governor
and Mrs. Daniel p. Jones. and escorted
by her maids of honor and a delega-
ton OF Arkansas men and women of
prominence.
Following the event at the shipyard.
the officials OF the company will enter
tain the christening party and other
guests Mt luncheon at the Warwick
Hotel. as Is the usual custom.

IN it's acts. y letter from Admiral
Kempff made the direct statement
that tn eimperial authorities were iR
sympathy with the Boxers, though he
added that the government was after
ward paralyzed and incapable of con-
trolling the situation This was the
first official declaration to reach our
government contradictory of the Chi
nese representations that the imperial
government had steadfastly and from
the first opposed the Boxer movement.
Then the exchanges that are in con-
Stant progress between the powers are
tending more and more to cast suS-

many communications that have come

aims good offices to bring about peace,
in terms similar to the appeals ad-
dressed TO President Mckinley and
President LOubet
A Berlin cable says: The German
foreign Office. which has received No
additional news from China. points out
that the conditions for mediation de-
manded by President Mckinley places
the United States in substantially the
same position as Germany and
France. Nevertheless the German
press continues TO assert that the
Washington government is trying to
part company with the powers. The
FreisSinige Zeitung remarks: All the
powers. with one exception. refuse to
be deceived longer by Chinese double
dealing. That exception is the United
States, which has formally abandoned
the concert of the powers"
ION the other hand The Vorwaerts
contrasts President Mckinley answer
to the Chinese note with Count Won
Buelow's praising President McKin-
ley'S as a masterpiece and saying:
- The American president plays upon
China's sympathy without in the slight
est degree committing himself. While
he states certain conditions clearly and
energetically. he avoids every threat
and all rude rattling of the sabre. Mr..
Mckinley is really a man of fine
parts"
