4 Big BATTltsnIP.

According to dispatches, the Navy
department is considering plans for
the construction of the most forrnid-
able battieship afloat. According, to
the plans, this monster ship will be
45o feet long, of 10000 tons displace-
ment, and have a speed of II knots.
1t wall mount four I2-ineh guns, rs
8inch guns, and 81 3-inch. This pow
erful warship will be over I 700 tons
heavier than any battieship ever
constructed abroad, and its battery
will not be equalled, by any fighting
ship ever built, while it's speed will
equal that of most OF the swift cruis-
ers.
The comparative effectiveness of
battleships and arrnored cruisers is
still mooted question, although
some of our lately built armored
cruisers are really formidable bat
tleships in everything but classified
ton, Somee naval authorities are
disposed to doubt tHs adyissbility of
'ssHxsruetingy great battlsships,
which cost ap Immense sam pt mon
ieyiand have. meyer been fairIyytried
as fighting MACHINES. But as. other
naval PAYERS put their chief reliance
upon, battleships,, and they may be
as effective as theory estimates, the
United States must provide itself
with a. sufficient number OF these
sships to. be, ready for emergencies.
This being the case. it win minister
tosppr natioaal pride and, add to our
standing abroad to have the greatest
waEship' of tbs CLASS in the world.

PRINCtlY MUNIfICtNCt.

Mr.. Andrew Carnegie has Just
given $Iooooooo to four Scottish uni
yersities for the free education Of
Scottish youth. This gift is larger
than any of Mr.. Carnegie's previous
benefactions, indeed larger than any
made by any philanthropist of which
there is record. The next largest
gift by Mr.. Carnegie was that to
New York City for the institution of
public, libraries, which amounted to
$s,2oo.ooo; and that by any other
philanthropist was made blythe late
Senator Leland Stanford to the uni
versity bearing his name. The sew
eral gifts of Mr.. Rockefeller to the
Chicago universities may amount to
fully as much as Senator Stanford's
which, at the time, was reported
very. much larger. than Mr.. Car
negie's to the Scotch universities,
but did not yield so large sum. 1t
is possible that had ADLER fnanciers
had charge of Senator Stanford's es-
tate, the California university would
have Jared much better. Yet. az it
is, Mr.. Carnegie's gilt to the Scotch
universities is more nearly equalled
by the rich Calitornian's benefac-
tons.
But Mr.. Carnegie Has given away.
more money than any, man now liv-
ing. His gifts already amount to
over S4o.ooo,ooo Those made to
American libraries and other insti-
buttons total $29ooo,ooo. They have
been scattered all over the country,
from Maine to California, and direct
ly benefit millions of people. Such
muni6cence is almost Incompetent
sible, fully as much 80 as the vast
sum of money, itself, since by but
few people is there entertained any,
where near a correct idea as to what
a million dollars is. In this busy
world, few men, no matter how
hard they strive, are able to accumu-
late fortunes that require more than
five figures to enumerate. Still Jew
err are so luckygas to use six figures
and very few indeed, more than that
number. But, if the opportunities
afforded by such generosity as Mr..
Carnegie's are fully awaited by the
youth of this country and, now, OF
Scotland, millionaires will be much
more plentiful in succeeding genera
tions, and, it is to. be hoped, will be
as generous as is Mr.. Carnegie.

HIGH SCHOOL LOCATION
CHANGE IS DISCUSSED.

There is division of opinion in the
board of education and among citi-
zens generally. it might be added, as
to the advisability of rebuilding the
high school on the old site. corner of
Sixth avenue and Twenty street.
The reasons given for change of
locltion are not only that the site is
not central. geographically speaking
but that two schools in one block
does not give pupils the play ground
they are entitled to, and also increases
the danger from fire. There is talk
of location farther south, and Maj.
H. C. Connolly, owner of 7-acre
tract between Twenty-third and
Twenty-fourth streets, and Tenth and
Eleventh avenues. has offered the land
to the board on its own terms.

lion against the cutting wind, and
were unable to hear the approach of
the train.
Going at Full Speed.
The crossing where the accident
happened is several hundred yard 5
this side of the station, and trains
pass it at full speed. There is a curve
at this point aud dwelling house be-
side the track shuts out the view of
the track to tue west to persons ap-
preaching from the south.
The train which struck the un-
fortunate couple was No. 10, in charge
of Conductor Stanton and Engineer

sleigh before the crossing was reached
and to have whistled and RUG
the bell. Mr.. Shuh was driving and
he kept steadily on.

Just as the sleigh reached the cross
ing Mrs. Shuh was seen TO throw up

SEARCHING FOR CAUSE
OF TYPHOID FEVER HERE.

There is much speculation as to the
cause of the preva' ence of typhoid fever
in the city at this particular time.
aud efforts are being made ia several
directions to locate the source of the
trouble. Health Commissioner Craig
has sent samples of water used in
various parts of the city to the state
university at Champaign, where it will
be examined by A. w. Palmer professor
of chemistry. Al the instance of
Mayor McChonochie and AID Gall,
chairman of the waterworks COM
mittee, Prof. Alboe, of the high school,
has taken samples to Madison, Wis,
where they will be examined for ty-
phoid fever germs.
Some have advanced the theory that
sewerage from up.river points was
causing the disease and point to Rock
Island arsenal as one of the possible
sources. Maj S. E. Blunt told an
ARGUS reporter today that the main
sewer of the arsenal emptied from
the south side of the island, although
two small sewers have their outlet at
the north.
Others suggested that the water was
contaminated by sewerage from the
Watertown hospital, but it is said all
refuse from that institution is burned.
The mouth of the waterworks in
take pipe is located in the main chan
mel of the river near the draw OF the
Rock Island bridge.
