FAST RATTLESHTpS

The magnificent speed performance of the
new battleshp Maine recalls the fight made by
The Tribune in the summer of 1898 TO prevent
ultra conservative influences in the Navy De
partment from continuing to turn ont an obSO
lete type of vessel. Under the act of May T.
1898 the Board of Naval Construction was pre-
pairing to lay down three battleships with a
speed of only sixteen knots; and this in the face
of the teachings of SIMPSONS battle off San
tiagO. where the usefulness of the highest pos
sible speed was so cOnclusively demonstrated
Admiral Melville wanted 10 alter the plans so
that without any reduction in armament or
armor and without substantial change in dis
placement the speed might he sufficient TO en-
able the battleships TO chase successfully the
powerful cruisers of other navies which were
stronger than our cruisers of equal speed, and
to meet on equal terms fast battleships such as
Russia was building right in own yards.
This some of his colleagues in the board re-
fused 10 permit. and for time it looked as if
the United States would he so foolish to
build sixteenknOt batteships merely because il
had stock patterns for them when other ma
tions building ships of equal strength
and superior speed. Against such short
sighted policy The Tribune protested, refuting
one after another the excuses made for perpetu-
ating the old type. Secretary Long finally took
a hand. overruled his subordinateS and
nounced that the department would in award
ing contracts for the three new hattleshipS give
preference TO bids offering TO guarantee the
highest rate of speed for vessels of the general
characteristics defined by the advertisements.
Thus the ingenuity of shipbuilders invited
10 compete and 10 propose within certain limits
alterations in the department plans The
Cramps responded TO this invitation, and on
October l. 1898. received the contract for. the
batteship Maine. which has now completely
justified the hopes of the advocates of fast
hatteships
The Maine is 3SS feet long - feet 2l2 inches
beam. and draws 23la feet of water Her dis
placement is 12.300 tons. She carries four
12-nCh guns. sixteen 6-inCh guns and thirty
smaller rapid fire guns. Her armor belt varies
from S15 10 II inches and her deck plating is
from 2a4 10 inches. Her bunker capacity is
1900 tons IT is seen that she ranks among
the most powerful hattleshipS afioat. NOtwith-
standing. she makes on squirt 1995 knots.
steams 1S.S knots for hour and IA half. and
has an official record Of 1929 knots for a long
run This work. it is said. was done without
selected coal and with a bottom fouled by
months of inactivity. Thus she can make nj
least two. and under the spur of necessity
almost four knots more than the sixteen knots
she would have been asked To do under the
original plans: and even that speed was not
required. for the bids called for her acceptance
if she made only fifteen knots The result is an
impressive example Of the danger Of ultra con
seTvatism and the usefulness Of an open official
mind.

SENAr0R spooNER,s POSITION.


.--ss4ae platform upon which Governor La Fol
1ette OF Wisconsin and his friends. e., a large
majority of the Republicans of the State stand
Is reasonable enough and should. prove 10 OBJ
stacle TO a prompt and cheerful compliance on
the part of Senator Spooner with the demands
made upon him by the State convention held
last week. What is the platform and what are
the demands formulated by an Overwhelming
majority of Republicans under the leadership Of
wisconsins young Governor?
Briefly the platform demands the amendment
of laws to compel every Individual and cor
.poration doing business i'm the State TO bear a
Justly prOportionate share of the burden Of tax
.atiOn. Can any one object to this: The plat
form demands that all candidates for State.
Legislative, Congressional and county Offices be
nominated at a primary election by direct vote
under the Australian ballot. Opinions may
differ as 10 the effectiveness of such reform.
It is difficult, however, TO conceive any great
harm resulting from ifs adoption. The present
system no one will assert to be perfect. The
one proposed may fall short of what it's ad-
rocates claim for If. II is desired nevertheless,
. by majority of Wisconsin Republicans. and
why should Senator Spooner refuse to acqui-
T esce in the wishes of his constituents. when. so
far as we can see, no principle small or great.
is involved?
3. 3. The platform also condemns the ''pernlcous
activity OF federal officeholders i'm matters of
proposed State legislation. Here, too. Senator
SpoOner might join hands with Governor La
Follette's friends. 1t is nconceivable certainly
that he should uphold such federal officeholders
In their doings.
Senator Spooner belongs as much to the
United States he does 10 the State of Wis
coDsin. This the convention frankly recognized
when il eulOgized in terms. not overdrawn. "the
notably able, patriotic and conservative course
of the Senator who has become recognized as
! the leader of the United States Senate We
say not overdrawn, because there is not single
measure Of any Importance that has been en-
acted into law within the last five years with
which the name Of Senator SpOOner is not promi
nently identified. His great ability, his Iega
acumen, his breadth of intellect his skill In con
troversy his readiness and briancy in debate
\ and his high public spirit combine TO make him
all in all, the most useful man in the Senate
The country needs him there quite as much AZ
does Wisconsin. This his State must realize
Therefore, TO burden his acceptance of the Sen
atorship with conditions which involve no es
sential principle Of party faith is as foolish n,
il would be for Senator Spooner 10 decline I,
heed the wishes of a great majority Of his fellow
Republicans by firmly standing on the platform
adopted last week. 1t is case where botl
parties 20 the controversy can afford withou
losing their selfrespect, TO drop IL. The coun

HOSPITALS AND Noes.

The city is doing something for the bettering
of its hospital provision for patients attacked
by contagious diseases. There is n great deal
of room for improvement and the end is not
yet. 1t is desirable. moreover. that the num-
Der of available ambulances should be increased
largely and that the responses to ambulance
calls should he prOmpter.
Accidents have been frequent within the city
limits this year. Subway excavations and
hastings. the wounding and manning of the
victims of trolleys and automobiles. prostra-
tions and injuries of many sorts. have made IHD
distressing list of sufferers. and the ambu-
lances of New-York have been sorely overtaxed
The wealth of this community is so vast. and
the sympathies Of New-Y YorSers are so readily
touched when ii is plain that large sums are
needed for the relief OF misery that the mere
mention of the serious nature Of the deficiencies
in the ambulance equipment of the hospitals
should be sufficient to inspire benevolent people
TO give generously from their abundance Upon
the universities and colleges of the United
States millions of dollars have been bestowed
In 1902 Why should not the hospitals be
treated with equal generosity? More wards
more beds larger endowmentS and revenues
can be used to advantage in the hospitals Of
New-York. Above all. there should be an inn
proved ambulance service

BOER STATISTICS AGAIN.

A correspondent, In letter printed elsewhere
in to-day's Tribune. takes exception TO some
recent estimates of the fighting strength Of the
Beers. which we based upon post -beum dis
closures. and makes appeal 10 q recent state.
ment Of the British Secretary Of state for War
for dsproOf Of our figures instead Of dsproof
however, there is substantial confirmation II
is true that Mr.. Brodrick on June 2 stated that
on May 2, preceding the number Of Boer prison
ers Of war held by the British was 25.555 We
can discover no warrant whatever for the state
ment OF our correspondent that hc dd so 'in
contradiction Of the general estimate" etc
Neither In Mr.. Ellis's question nor I'm Mr. Brod-
rick's reply there any reference to an esti-
mate of forty thousand or any other 1t may
be that the total Included boys as young as
eleven and men over seventy, but Mr. Brod
rick did not say so. What he said was that
there were In the total TS3 boys under sixteen
and 1.025 men over sixty-a very different thing
from what our correspondent says. Our CORE
spOndent also appears TO overlook the fact that
Mr.. BrOdrck referred in his statement Of June
to prisoners OF war alone. without regard
10 the additional thousands who had been cor
rallied" In the concentration camps Against
the statement quoted by our correspondent let
us quote Mr.. Brodrlcks official statement on
November 13, 1901. to the effect that I'VE have
either In the concentration camps in Gus
tody in the various islands nenrly forty-two
| thousand Beers. We can also account for
eleven thousand more. killed wounded. who
have left the colony. or who have taken parole.
We can therefore account for fifty-three thou
| sand Beers" II seems to us that this latter
statement OF MIR. Brodricks pretty well justfes
our estimate of fifty thousand Beers taken
prisoners by the British, and our correspondent
seems to regard Mr.. Brodrick authority.
Our correspondent also says our estimate Of
1 the population OF the two Boer States at two
New-York tribune., 1902-07-21

hundred and fifty thousand lis much beyond
The census" The official Transvaal census of
1896. though confessedy incomplete. gave the
white population Of that country MS 2io,307
The Orange State census of 1890 showed II
white population there of 717t6. These make
n total of 328. / l3. Allowing for the natural in
crease of the prolific Beers during three years
in the case and nine years in the other. and
then subtracting, say, hundred thousand
for "OutlanderS," soc no reason TO recall or
10 revise our estimate Of scarcely two hundred
and fifty thousand" unless. indeed. to increase
the figures n little. The same censuses which
we have quoted gave the number of males in
the two States as 1TS.51S. Withdrawal OF the
"Outlanders' probably reduced that number to
little more than one hundred thousand. 1t may
be that such total could not furnish eighty
five thousand fighting men. even if the age limit
were put at from eleven to seventy. But we
did not say it had done On the contrary
we explicitly credited a considerable proportion
of the eghty-fivP thousand Beers to Cape Col
Ony. whose large Afrikander population is not
taken into account in the above census figures.
II our correspondent will consider these points
and the whole subject again, and more care
fully, are inclined to think he will be con-
vinced of the fact that The Tribune is not seek
ing Ito rehabiltate the British military reputa-
tiOn ut the expense of figures" but on the con-
trary, being, as our correspondent well says,

gradual stiffening of quotations in evidence for

No logical explanation be found for the sud

the opening Of the convention at Indianapolis

Wall Street anticipates events, and the sudden
