Il the Leviathan of Ameri-
can Shipyards.


Washington, March 25.-The Korea,
which was launched Saturday at the
Newport News Shipbuilding COM
pany's works, bears the distinction
of being up to date the largest steam
vessel ever built on this side of the
Atlantic. With length of 572 feet
inches and beam of 63 feet, she
will displace $4,000 tons on draft of
II feet. Some idea of the size of the
Korea may be derived from the fact
that from the top to the bottom OF
the bare hull is distance of 40 feet.
while the distance around her rail
is nearly quarter of mile. She is
to be fitted with engines of $4,000
horse power, sufficient to propel her
at speed of from 1s to 20 knots.
The Korea will accommodate 1,49c
passengers, of whom 200 will be first
cabin passengers. She is designed
for the Pacific Mail Steamship com,

Bryan Makes a Severe though
dust Criticism of Cleveland.

Mr. Cleveland wrote letter to the
Crescent Democratic Club OF Baltl-
more in which he speaks of "a return
to democratic principles. Mr.. Bryan,
through the Commoner, offers a re-
ward of Sc for definition from Mr..
Cleveland of what he terms democrat
ic principles. Mr.. Cleveland is great
on platitudes that can as well be in
terpreted to mean one thing as anoth-
er, or like his Interpretation of the
platform on which he was last elected
may be interpreted to defeat the prin-
ciples of of the party or entirely ig-
nored. His last administration de-
moralized and ruined the party and If
by "a return to democratic principles
he means return to the policies and
methods by which he destroyed the
party and paved the way for its over
throw, let him say so and avoid am
biguity. OF Mr.. Cleveland's letter
Mr.. Bryan says:
"When the battle was on between a
republic and an empire, between de-
mocracy and plutocracy, between
bimetallism and monometalism, he
(Cleveland) refused to say a word or
lift hand in behalf of the rank and
file for whom he now expresses such
an affectionate solicitude. AS soon as
the election was over he came forth
from his seclusion and made the air
vocal with his suggestions.
Assuming to be inspired by purer
Democracy and boasting of superior
virtue, he began to offer unsolicited
advice to the party to which he once
belonged. He is like the soldier who
was described as invisible in war and
invincible in peace. To desertion of
the party organization and betrayal OF
the principles of the party he adds os-
tentatlous pretense Of interest in the
plain people, while he conceals his ideas
in ponderous and platatudinous phras
. es.
"If he will clearly and candidly de
fine the Democratic principles abou
which he is SO prone to talk, the PEG
pie can decide for themselves whether
he is the same Mr.. Cleveland who
turned the Treasury over to foreign
financial syndicate and instructed j
Pierpont Morgan with the combina
tion of the Government vaults anc
then supported the Republican tickle
because his Administration was no
endorsed.
