LARGEST SHIP AFL0ATIS
EN- ROUTE TO UNITED STATES,
White Star Liner Cedric Has Nine
Decks and Can Carry More Than
Two Thousand Passengers.
REPURLIC SPECI

REPUBLIC SPECIAL
New York, Feb. H.-The largest ocean
going steamship ever constructed is en- route
to New York from Liverpool. The vesesl
which has this distinction is the new White
Star liner Cedric.
The principal point of interest in connec-
ton with the Cedric is her great dimen-
sions. Her gross tonnage is 1900. while her
displacement figures total 3S,10 tons. Her
extreme length is 100 feet, her greatest
breadth Is feet, while her depth is 40 13 feet.
She Is Of the twin-screw type. her propellers
being driven by two sets of quadruple en-
gines. To furnish the steam to operate the
machinery there are eight double-end boil
ers, each capable of working to a pressure
Of 30 pounds to the square inch. The Cedric
is designed to attain a speed of II knots,
and is expected to make the transatlantic
passage in between seven and eight days.
There are nine decks on the Cedric. She
Is built on the cellular double bottom prin-
cip.e. and has numerous water-tight COM
partments that make her practically un-
sinkable. She has four masts, and, like all
the other great White Star liners, two mas
sive bun tunnels. 1t may be interesting to
note that the distance from the top of the
tunnels to the keel is 131 feet.

The minister's wife is OF the official

allied herself. Thu aim of the reformers
is the political and social reconstruction of

The Minister'S wife was disappointed. but
she Immediately renewed the Invitation for
some future day and date.
Sieh king-King was at her uncle's house
in San Francisco when the second invita-

Sieh King-King would not call upon the
Minister'S wife, and the invitation will
probably never be repeated.

Rubbing with liniments, blistering, the

these simple remedies do not reach the seat
