Great Naval Achievement.

7
The launching of the Dreadnought,
the largest, and most powerful battle
ship OF the worlds navies, marks the
frst stage in what the British admir-
atty claim as the greatest achievement
IN naval construction On October 2,
1905, only few days over four months
ago, work was commenced at Ports
mouth on the vessel, the first of what
is to be known as the Dreadnought
class The promise was made then
that she would be launched within six
months. The admiralty has more than
made good the boast and Britishers
have another cause for pride in their
navy, Another twelve months, all go.
ing well, the Dreadnought will be
commissioned and join the Atlantic
fleet, thus beating all previous records
in battleship building by six months.

Des Moines, Feb. 1O.--The hearing
before Senator Smiths railroad CONF
mittee on the anti-pass bills yesterday
afternoon developed some exciting
passages.
Railroad interests were represented
by number of attorneys and their op-
position was expressed by Carroll
Wright in written speech Argument
was not lodged, specifically against
bill prohibiting passes from being gfv-l
en- to or used by public officers and DELI
egates to conventions; but opposition
bill, which aims to abolish the pass
system.
In the course of his argument Mr..
Wright said that Senator Turner was
possibly influenced by an improper
motive when he wrote into his bill ex.
ceptions to Its operation as to trans
portation exchanged for advertising.
Mr.. Turner, seen later, expressed his
regret that the fight Of the railroads
against abolishing the free pass had
required them to make a charge so
utterly baseless.
Mr.. Wright vigorously resented the
suggestion which he said had been
made in public speeches that the rail.
road interests we're represented at the
legislature by a corrupt lobby gather
ed to induce improper legislation. He
charged that the anti-pass sentiment
is artificial and created by selfish agi-
tation; that the charge of railroad in
f1uences had been veriest twaddle;
that all the governors of Iowa since
Kirkwood had used passes; and he
said that the fact that Governor LARA
bee had ridden on pass while gov
ernor did not influence him in his of.
fetal acts; nor did he believe that the
presence of pass in the pocket of
Governor Cummins, before he return
ed it, had influenced him in the dis.
charge of his duties. He spoke3 OF
Governor Larrabee as the Latter Day
Moses respectfully, and said that he
thought the man who accepts and
then refuses passes is not more hon.
est when he refused than when he
took them. He regarded the Turner
bill as vicious legislation and pointed
out a large number of exceptions
which he believed were as reasonable
as the ones named by the senator from
Adams in his bill
But while declaring that the pass
was a mere courtesy and defensible,
Mr.. Wright indicated that 1t was the
more drastic Turner bill to which they
objected He defended the right of
the railroads to discuss all issues with
legislators individually and before COM
mittees, for the railroads pay one
twelfth of all the taxes.

First turbine BattIeship.

In other respects the Dreadnought
will be- unique, she will be the first
battleship in the world to be driven
by turbines. These engines will sup
ply the power for four propellers, two
more than any previously built British
battleship, which should make her the
fastest ship of her class afloat. An
other advantage of the turbines, as
shown by the performances of the
Carmania, is that the gunners will
have steadier deck from which to
handle the guns.
