depth. The hull, made OF the best steel,
is divided into five water tight compart-

so that II the water should fill three of
these the other two would keep her
afioat. Partly to strengthen her hull, she
IL provided with three decks built al
most as strongly as those OF a warshp,
in order TO resists the tremendous strain
when rocking In the waves. The quarters
for the captain officers and crew are
on the main deck, while the coal bunkers
and other supplies are below. As the
officers and men must remain sometimes
for five and six weeks without seeing any
one or being relieved, the government
has tried TO make their surroundings as
homelike as possible.
Steam heat and electric lights are pro-
vlded In each cabin and the furniture,
carpets, and fittings would be credit to

refrigerating apparatus, and has also a
plant for distllling water so that an am

the summer months as well as an abund-
ance of pure water.
To hold the lghtshlp on her station,
powerful apparatus was provided. She

EMMI COLEMAN SORRY.
Does Not Think Change in Presiden,
 However, Can Affect Her Case.

Chicago, Sept. 13-When shown the Associated Press dispatch announcing the inevitable death of the president Emma Goldman, the anarchist now being held at the Harrison street sta tion, carefully adjusted her glasses read the bulletin and, after moments S
 pause, without a change of expression,
 said Very sorry"
 Absolutely no shade of regret or pity showed itself upon her face. q don t see this can affect my case" she add ed If it is carried on lawfully and le-
 gally They have no evidence against
 me. Chief Bull and Chief ONeill have admitted that they have none. They are holding me without evidence. The
 death of Mckinley would only lengt hen
 my term of imprisonment if they con-
 victed me. I feel very bad for the sake
 of Mrs. Mckinley; outside of that I
 have no sympathy"
