BRlTAlN'S BIG WARSHIP
BUILDING IN SECRET
CAREFULLY SHIELDED FROM THE
CURIOUS
Never Before Was the Public Barred
From the Royal Doekyards-Many
New Ideas VIII Be Incorporated
In the Dreadnaught
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON. Nov. 11.-Britain's biggest
battleship, the Dreadnaught, now IN
course Of construction at Portmouth,
was inspected by the lords of the ad-
miralty yesterday, but nothing trans
pired as to the result
Heretofore 1t has been permissible
for any British subject to enter the
royal dockyard and witness the build
ing of a warship, but quite new
order of things has been ordained by
the admiralty. Extreme secrecy Is to
mark the building Of warships in the
future. A Gordon of police surrounds
the place where the Dreadnaught is
being built, workmen are kept closely
to their respective departments, and
foremen are allowed to see only such
sections of the plans as is necessary
for them to consult.
The complete designs have not yet
left the office of the director of naval
construction at Whitehall, therefore
only Sir Philip Watts and his immee-
diate staff know what the Dread
naught will really be. The reason for
all this secrecy is that the vessel Is
to embody many striking developments
in battleship design, which 1t is desired
to keep as long as possible from for
eign naval constructors
It can be stated, however, that the
Dreadnaught will be Of 1S000 tons dis
placement, and is expected to attain q
speed Of twenty-five knots. 1t will be
driven by turbine machinery of $4,000
indicated horse power, constructed on
the Parson principle, by Harland &
Wolff. The armament will be ten
twelve-inch guns. Nothing Is yet
known of the armor, its method of dis
tribution, nor of the manner in which
1t will be rendered invulnerable against
torpedo attack,
Considerable speculation has been
aroused by the extreme haste with
which the ship is being pushed forward.
Although the keel plate was laid only
five weeks ago, more than 1000 tons
of material already have been built in
to position. The reason for all this
hurry is easily explained. The Dread
naught is expected to mark a new era
in battleship design, but is regarded
as an experiment and as the cost
will be considerably more than a
million and a half sterling no more
vessels of it's class will be laid down
till it has been tested, which means
that pending the trials battleship con-
struction will be in abeyance.

NEW STYLE OF CRICKET
Londoners Greatly Interested in Sport
Introduced by Chinese
Residents
Special Gable to The Herald.

Special Gable to The Herald.
LONDON, Nov. lin the Chinese
quarter of London the "cricket" sea-
son, which has nothing to do with our
national game, is now in full swing.
and desperate battles between pairs
of the little insects are Of daily occur
renee.
The Chinatown of London Is in a lit
tie street off the West India dock road,
and there 1t is that "cricket fighting
draws an enthusiastic crowd of Chi
nese immigrants. The strange con-
tests are arranged as follows: The RI
val criokets are placed in q large pot
or Chinese bowl. Their masters then
proceed to tickle them with a straw,
and the insects, becoming infuriated,
fly at each other and fight with their
teeth. over and over they roll biting
and buzzing until at last one of them
falls exhausted and dies.
Next week a grand competition will
take place in the Chinese quarter at
Limehouse. Yu Tah Mum, fireworks
maker, has a champion old yellow
cricket which is supposed to be invin-
chile, and this insect will be opposed
to Whong HIS fine young green crick-
eta veritable amazon Of insects,
which is fancied by many experts.
Cricket fighting, or as we call it,
hsisey, Is really the pastime Of the
upper classes In emma, said prom
inent Chinese official in London. More
books and more poems have been writ
ten about hsisey than any other sport.
1.-The crickets are most carefully bred
by fanciers, and strong insect will
often fetch a high price in the mar
kets of Pekin. They are larger than
the English crickets, and have a big
head quite out of proportion to their
bodies.
eli Hung Chang was a well-known
authority on the feeding of fighting
crickets, and wrote several books on
the subject"

FIGHT FOR BIG ESTATE
Descendants of Irish Lord Battle il
Court for Carllngford
Title
Special Cable to The Herald.


LONDON, Nov. 1.-THE Irish su-
preme court is now engaged in un-
raveling an extraordinary romance Of
peerage, the claim of George Swifte
to be adjudged lawful heir to the es-
tate and title of Lord Carlingford, who
died In 1864. The defendant to the suit
is Mary Jane Swifte, second wife and
administrative of the late Lord Carl
tngford. This peer married three times
first the Austrian Baroness Wetze-
lar, then Mary Hopkins mother of the
present claimant, and subsequently
Mary Jane Clarke, the present Lady
Carlingford.
Mary Swifte ressts George Swifte's
claim on the ground that her hus-
bands marriage to Georges mother.
Mary Hopkins, was invalid, as at the
time it took place the Baroness Wet
cellar was still living.
George Swifte, however, maintains
that his fathers marriage to the bar
oness was invalid. because as a mar
riage between a Protestant and a Ro-
man Catholic, 1t should, under the then
existing statute, have been soleminized
by a Protestant clergyman. whereas,
Roman Catholic performed the cere-
mony.
Carlingford had three children by
Mary Hopkins, two sons and daugh-
young, and Lady Carlingford. giving
them $3.50 each, cast them out to earn
their living.
One brother became a policeman,
got pneumonia during the Fenian ris-
ing in 1867. fell into bad health and
eventually died of brain trouble, a pau
per In the Dublin workhouse. George
Swifte, who said his fathers widow
used every inducement to get him in
dentured on a coffin ship that was lost
on her first succeeding voyage. took to
a seafaring life
This suit has been more than thirty
years I'm the chancery court, the trial
being delayed by expedients for which
that court is famous.
