One MORE SHIP
FOR UNCLE SAM
Cruiser Washington Is
Launched at Yards of New
York Ship Building Firm

PHILADELPHIA, March 1S.-The
armored cruiser Washington was
launched at the yards of the New
York Ship Building Company at Cam
den, N. j., to-day. The event signalized
two innovations in the launching of a
warship. The Washington was the
first naval vessel to be launched by
the United States by means Of an
automatic trigger device which obvi-
ated the customary saving of the sole
piece at the bow. The cruiser was also
the first war vessel to be launched
from beneath q glass covereds shed
from a shipyard in the East.
Miss Helen Stewart Wilson, daughter
of former United States Senator John
L. Wilson Of Washington, christened
the cruiser.
The familiar sounds of the knocking
away of the keel blocks and the saw
ing Of the plank were missing at the
launching Instead, one man went
down to the keel amidships, and, oper-
ating hand valve, released two heavy
steel triggers, which in turn removed
q castiron stay. As the huge craft
began to move, Miss Wilson swung the
traditional bottle against the vessel 8
bow. There was terrific din from
the steam craIt lying close 10 the ydru
as the washington moved into the
river.
The armored cruiser Washington,
which was launched to-day at the
yards of the New York Ship Building
Company, is a sister ship to the
cruiser Tennessee, launched at Cramps
shipyards last December. While not
designed to be quite as fast as some
of the lighter armored cruisers, she
will have greater battery and defensive
power than any vessel classed as a
cruiser The armor plate protection
ranges from nine inches for the tur-
rets to five inches for the belt. The
main battery will consist of four 10
inch guns and 16 6-inch guns. The
secondary battery will have twenty
three S-inch rapid-fire guns: twelve g.
FOUNDER semi automatic guns, two l.
FOUNDER automatic and two 1-pounder
rapid-fire guns, two 3-inch field pieces
and three small caliber rapid-f1re ma
chine guns.
The indicated horsepower Of the
engines is twenty three thousand ana
they are designed to drive the vessel
at speed of at least twenty-five
knots an hour.

of one student was nothing in COM
parison with the interests of the State.
He was right; the year did not pass
without seeing the sacrifice of many
hundreds of lives for the state. The
result of my fast was that I was sent
to Samara prison. In Samara I had

were chosen from all parts of Russia.

saw people who were beaten in prisons
and in police courts; people who were
many times compelled to hunger for
many days together; people, who from
want and prison life, went into con-
sumption. Every day saw parties of
political prisoners going to Siberia.

PARIS. March 1s.-The Russian de-
feats, eliminating with General Kuro-
patkin's recall, have completely shak-
en- French officials and public opinion
concerning Russia's ability to success
fully make head against the complica-
tions. The first view that the Russian
reverses were part Of a strategic plan
is now entirely abandoned and ali
comment turns on Russia's accumulat-
ing misfortunes. The recognized Rus

Jeff. Stoessel. Orloff, Stark, Gripenberg
and long list Of others in various
stages of investigation and disgrace,
and dispatch announcing that Cap
tain CladO has been relieved of all
functions appears to emphasize the
condition Of Russia's military demoral-
ization.
The Figaro says Kuropatkin was the
victim of overprudence and lack of
audacity. Military critics point out
that General Lineyitch did not gradu-
ate from the school Of cadets or the
military academy, but began his SER
vice as a volunteer and a private.
While subordinate officer during the
Russo Turkish. war Linevitch first met
Kuropatkin. then captain. The lat
ter represents the student soldier, while
Linevitch represents the man from the
ranks.
The peace prospects, although re-
Gently considered bright, now seem to
have disappeared. The officials say
this is due mainly to Japan's insist
ence that Russia shall sue for peace,
whereas Russian pride prevents her
taking the Initiative. Therefore 1t is
believed that the war will be indefinite
ly prolonged, with the prospect of a
series of Japanese successes above Muk-
den.
