San Francisco, CAL. Apr. 28.-No
since the launching of the battleship
Ohio, which was attended by Pres
ident Mckinley and other distinguish
ed sons of the Buckeye State, has the
shipyards of the Union Iron Works
seen such a gala event as today. .when
the magnificent armored cruiser Cali
fornia was welded to the waters. The
christening and launching of the levia
than of the deep was accomplished
in the presence of a crowd of thOus-
ands of spectators made up largely
of members of the society known as
Native Sons of the Golden West, who
were practically in charge OF the
days ceremonies.
On the christening stand were Gov
ernor Pardee and other distinguished
officials of the state of California
and of the leading CITIES of the COM
monwealth. AS the new war ship
swert down the ways the assembled
multitude wildly cheered the new
champion. The christening ceremony
was performed by Miss Florence May
Pardee, daughter of the Governor.
The interesting ceremony took
place shortly before eleven o'clock.
With the first movement of the big
hull Miss Pardee lifted the beribbon-
ed champagne bottle above her head
and sent it with a crash against the
unyielding wall of steel, ait the same
time saying, in clear tones, heard by
all on the speakers stand:
II christen thee California"
AS the cruiser took her maiden
plunge in her native element she was
greeted by a welcoming blast from
large fleet of war vessels from Mare
Island, excursion steamers, tug boats
and other craft of many descriptions.
The cruiser California is similar in
type and dimensions to the Pennsyl-
vania recently launched at Cramps.
the Maryland recently launched at
Newport News, the West Virginia,
also recently launched, and the South
Dakota and Colorado now building.
When completed the California will
have a total displacement of nearly
$4,000 tons. The type of the Califor-
mia derives pre-eminence from two
qualities-speed and concentration
of fire. Her wonderful engines, driv-
ing twin screws. will develop horse
power of $4,000, capable of propelling
the ship ait speed of twenty-three
knots per hour-perhaps even faster.
This speed at once will take her out
side the reach of pursuing battleships
while her powerful battery will make
of her a dangerous antagonist both
in engagement with vessels of her
own class and those carrying heavier
ordnance.
The main battery of the California
is to consist of four eight inch rifles,
mounted in pairs in turrets. fore and
aft. These guns are to be OF the lat
est type. and will approximate as
closely to the rapid firing design as
can be reached in guns of that cali
bre. There are in addition fourteen
six-inch guns of the rapid fire design
whose broadside fire-seven guns on
a side concentrated on an enemy
would prove irresistible.
Her secondary battery consists OF
eighteen three-inch rapid IRE guns,
twelve three Founders. eight one.
Founders, two three-inch rapid fire
field guns. two machine guns and six
automatic guns, II III most tcrnid'

St Petersburg, G:10 p. mD April
2S.-No official dispatches were given
out here this morning. The Associat-
ed Press is informed that no further
news has been received here from
Woosan, Corea, or from the Yalu ri
yer. Communication with these plac-
es is necessarily slow.
Russian torpedo boats belonging
to the Vladivostock squadron sank
the Japanese transport Kinshiu Ma
ru, during the night of April 26 at
which all on board were lost except
seventeen officers, twenty soldiers,
65 of the crew and 80 coolies. The
others who refused to surrender were
sent to the bottom with the ship.
A late official report of Rear Admi-
raj YeseZen to the emperor is as fol-
lows: During the night of April 26
two Russian torpedo boats met at sea
the Japanese military transport Kin
shiu Maru of 1000 tons, loaded with
rice and other military stores and
about 1900 tons of coal. The trans
port was armed with four Hotchkiss
guns of AZ millimeters. The Russians
captured on board II officers, 90 sol
diers, S5 military carriers, or coolies
and IS of the crew who surrendered
The remainder of the men who were
left without officers obstinately refu-
sed to surrender or go aboard the
Russian cruiser. Furthermore they Of
fered armed resistance to the Russ
ians. In the end they were sent to the
bottom with the transport" The num-
Der drowned was not given. The Ad
miral also reports that besides the
sinking of the Japanese steamer Goyo
Maru at Gensan April 25th. the Rus
SLAMS sank at sea the same evening
the Japanese steamer Nakamaru of
220 tons whose crew was saved.
Vice Admiral Skrydloff has left ST.
for Moscow His departure
was marked by scenes similar to
those which accompanied the fare
wells of other commanders. There
was a large crowd at the station in
Guiding Grand Duke Alexander, the
brother-in-law of the Emperor, and
other mobiles.
The Russian press is aroused over
the talk of mediation and attribute
the responsibility for the proposal to
the Anglo-French agreement. the re-
suit being that that the agreement
does not obtain favor. Novoe vremya
declares that the Anglo French under
standing has rendered poor service
to Russia in prompting the idea of
mediation. and adds: 1T is idle to
expect an Anglo-Russian understan-
ding as the result of the Anglo-French
entente. 1t will take a long time for
Great Britain to reach Russia's conf
dence."
The Port Arthur correspondent of
Rassky Invalid writes: The Japan
ese have invented a new combustible
that is inextinguishable. They tried
to burn the battle ship Retvizan by
setting adrift RATS loaded with this
burning material. They were sunk.
but continued to turn under water.

Preparing for Spring Sewing.

Mrs. G.. j.: The problem of how shall we
be clothed will be the all-absorbing topic in
a few weeks and to avoid needless fatigue
and mistakes the wise woman will prepare
for the coming campaign before the
eleventh hour. Decide upon the number OF
new articles required to make up the ward
robe and how the gowns are TO be made,
rather for what purpose they are TO be
used, for street wear, calling or evening
wear. A general idea as to the most de-
sirable shades of color which will harmon
lze or contrast well with the present stock
Is also essential. Lay in a generous supply
OF thread in assorted weights, together
with dress shields and the thousand and
one small trimmings which are so neces-
sary in the completion OF an up-to-date
gown-everything except bindings thread
etc, which must, Of course, match the
color Of the gown, may be accumulated at
later. With the rapid changes in fashions
many excellent garments are put aside
from time TO time as being too passe for
further use in their present state. Those
which are not to be given away may be
ripped apart, cleaned and pressed, ready
for the coming of the dressmaker, TO be
converted into house gowns, waists and
Innings, as seems best. Do not forget that
good tools are necessary TO perfect work
Inspect the sewing machines and all Of its
attachments and put in perfect running or
der, laying In stock of needles for the
machine. You will be surprised to see
how much time you will save later by do
ing these little things now.

Duties of n Guest.

they run counter to plans already under

without anyone feeling offended, IL she

necessarily reflect against your friends but
may be based entirely upon personal con-

tcular TO introduce them TO your hostess
and members of her family. An inconsid-
crate guest who takes advantage OF his or
her position as guest TO impose nameless
little selfish and thoughtless acts, is the
greatest trial with which a hostess has TO
contend hence it is not strange that some
people find the doors of their erstwhile
friends closed against them. Tact and
close observation will teach one the hap
py medium and how TO be a pleasant in
stead of a burdensome guest.
