doping of his horse in the race with
Major Delmar. There are several
gentlemen in this city, however, who
witnessed the race and are familiar
with the investigation since it was
inaugurated One of these said to-

Portsmouth, England, Feb. 1O.-The
monster battle ship Dreadnaught
which, when finished, will cost
S7,O00,000 was launched here today
by King Edward. The ceremony was
the most simple possible, the king
having vetoed pageantry on account
of the recent death of his father-in-
law, King Christian, Of Denmark.
H. NJ. S. Dreadnaught is at once the
greatest battle ship in the world and
the most fearful engine of war and
destruction known.
The Dreadnaught was built with as
much privacy as surrounds the draw.
ing up of a secret telegraph code in
war times.
The vessel is the embodiment of
all the lessons learned by naval con-
structors through the Russo-Japanese
war. OF all the nations of the world,
only Japan knows the secrets that are
being put inside the Dreadnaugnt'
hull. The confidential reports of the
japanese naval officers on the fighting
value of Togo's battle feet have been
placed at the disposal of Japan's ally,
and the naval experts of every other
power would be willing to spend hun
dreds of thousands of dollars in Sc
cret service money to learn what
those secrets are. Then, too, Great
Britain was the only power having at
taches or observers on the Japanese
ships during that war.
No such interest as that taken in
the Dreadnaught has ever before been
fastened about a new type Of battle
ship. British naval men believe the
Dreadnaught is destined to revolution
iZe battle ship construction in the
twentieth century to as great an ex-
tent as the discovery of steam revo-
,lutionized naval warfare in the nine
teenth century. 1t is declared by
those familiar with all the details of
the Dreadnaught, that four of her
class could send to the bottom of the
sea the entire American navy without
difficulty.
A few details concerning the new
vessel have become known. The most
important is her armament. She car
ries nothing but 12-inch guns and g.
inch quick fiTers, the latter, number
ing eighteen, being solely to repel
torpedo boat attacks. OF the huge
12inch rifles, the Dreadnaught will
mount ten, six more than the most
powerful of American battle ships.
There will be no S-inch, Finch or
6-inch guns aboard. The Far Eastern
war has shown them to be useless, ac-

it is expected that possibly some rec
ords will be broken. Among the west
ern runners who will take part in the
contests will be Walter Eckersall and
James Lightbody, the two Chicago
University stars.
University of Pennsylvania has sent
a strong team and some of its best
sprinteTs, hurdle runners, jumpers and
weight putters. The list includes
men like Captain Amler, Cartmell,
Taylor, Dear, Whitman, Jones, Terry,
Haskins, Leary, Risley, Mofltt, Hol-
lingshead, Luby and others. Archie
Hahn of Milwaukee, Oscar OsthOff of
the city, are among the prominent
western athletes who are entered. In
the two-mile championship and the
One-mile handicap, James P. Sullivan,
Harvey W. Cohn and George " Ben

Club of New York, will be among the

cording to Japan and British opinion,
and they are to be discarded from all
future battleNships of the two nations.
The great Pinch battery will be
capable of firing $500 pounds of pro-
jectiles every minute, with sufficient
velocity to send them twenty-five
miles, or to penetrate sixteen inches
or armOr plate at two miles. This Is
twice the projectile force of any other
warship afloat.
The engines of the Dreadnaught
will be turbines, the first time the new
type of driving power has been used
for a battle ship. They will send the
huge mass of steel through the water
at the rate of nineteen and a fraction
knots an hour, at least a knot faster
than any other battle ship can travel.
The vessel will have a displacement
of 1880 tons, $500 tons larger than
any other American warship.
Other details concerning the levi
athan are not known. How her vir.
tails are protected, what the new me-
chanical arrangements inside are and
her total resisting power are secrets
jealousy guarded.
Though her power is so much
greater than any other floating fort
ress, one of the most surprising things
about the Dreadnaught is that her
cost is 10 per cent per ton less than
the most recent battle ship additions
TO the British navy.
Her time in construction is also
making a record. She was not laid
down until October of last year, so
it took only four months to prepare
her for launching. Her completion
will have occurred in February, 1907
making sixteen months from the time
work was started on her to her readi
ness for battle.
The Dreadnaught is the only bat
tie ship provided for in the British ma
val estimates for the present year.
Four armored cruisers are being built
as the years contribution to England's S
sea strength, and when they are fin
ished the British navy will be on the
following remarkable footing, support

THE REMARKABLE OLD LADY OF

The grim. slant eyed old dowager empress of China owes her fame wholly to her own force of character, her indomitable will and her overmas- tering intellecuality.
 For this empress. like the expresses and queens of the western world, was not born of imperial or even royal par ents. Wives of Chinese emperors are rarely or never chosen for their rank, but according to their comellness from the Celestial view.
 When an heir to the throne of Chi na is of marriageable age many pretty Tartar girls--thousands sometimes are sumoned to Peking, where the older women of the imperial household study them, sending the less attractive ones away gradually till only a few remain. From these the primary wife or empress and a few secondary wives are selected.
 It was fin this way that the dowager empress selected the wives of the pres ent emperior, and no doubt she was se- lected by the same method when the late emperor, Hien Flung, was ready to marry. He died more than forty years ago.
 She who now rules over China's 400, 100000 souls was only a secondary wife, yet in benighted China she so managed affairs as to rise to the head of the state and to keep the place all through the vicissitudes that have be- set China since then. This woman, now seventy-one, exerts more real power over more of her fellows than any other woman who ever lived.
