70 per cent. The engines of the
Campania and Lucania, when new
(about dozen years ago., were
rated at 10000, horsepower.
The main features of the big
Cunard ships, aside from their
great size, will be their motive
power. They are to be equipped
with turbine engines, and will have
four screws, instead of three, as
most passenger ships now using
turbines have. In order to make
nomistakes in installing the screws
and in designing the form of the
hull, many experiments were made
with models in an experimental
tank, similar to those used in de-
signing warships.
Great speed is a very costly mat
ter, and were 1t not for the assist
ance given by the British Govern
ment, the big Cunarders would
never be made to pay. In order
to secure the few knots more speed
than other ships, the new vessels
will have to burn about 1000 tons
of coal per day compared with the
900 TO $50 tons now consumed by
the fast German ships or the 500
tons consumed by the Campania
and Lucania, the champions of a
decade ago.
While the Cunard Company has
again entered into the competition
for speed, most of the new ships
built in recent years have aimed
only at moderate speeds, combined
with the greatest possible CON-
fort and carrying capacity. Such
moderate speed ships have been
great earners, whereas the grey
hounds have hardly been paying
investments. Picayune.

Of course, immensely her superior

has four ships which exceed the
Great Eastern in size, while the
two big German lines both possess
two ships each, which are as large
if not larger, than the Great East

SAYS REF0RMERS ARE
BACK OF THIS MATTER
Lehigh Valley Representatives at
the Hearing on the Morris
Canal Bill Yesterday.

TRENTON. Mar. 27.-"This move
is only backed by a gang of so-called
reformers, anyhow was the new cry
raised by the Lehigh Valley railroad
company yesterday afternoon in an
effort to defeat the ElVins joint reso-
luton directing the attorney general
10 institute a suit in the court of
chancery TO test the company's title
10 The Jersey City basin and its right
10 operate the Morris canal under a
lease.
j. r. Schaperkotter, general coun-
sci for the Lehigh Valley railroad
company, raised the cry and made it
the basis Of his argument against the
massage of the Elvins resolution.
The merits of the resolution we're
rhreshed ont yesterday afternoon at IL
hearing before the senate committee
ON revision of laws, composed of Sen
atorS Homer. Avis and Mckee. Chair
man Horner. in calling the meeting to
order, said the joint resolution had
passed the practically unanimously,
and this made a prima facie case in
its favor. Therefore, he said, the
proponents of the resolution would
be permitted 10 open the case, the
DIRECTORS follow, and then the propo-
close the argument.
Assemblyman Prince, Of Passaic,
The introducer of the Parker bill TO
forfeit the Morris canal and banking
oompany's charter, was the first
speaker. He said the resolution was
the outcome Of the two Morris canal
bils-his own and the Mills bill,
which the Lehigh wants. He said the
arguments being made ia favor Of
both bills had led TO confusion, and
The Elyins resolution was looked to
as a solution of the problem. This led
the house to pass the resolution al
most unanimously.

number of additional objections TO
the proposed repeater are cited in the
resolution, which concludes with the
declaration that no action on the bill
by the house, when reported, requires
that it be determined whether they
are well founded. The opinion of the
attorney general as to the validity of
the several objections is requested in
the concluding paragraph of the reso-
luton.

C LOSE WINS
SHRIEVALTY
Francis Can Now Return to His
Long Branch MayOraIty--W Vii
Probably Appeal.

FREEHOLD, Mar. 27.-Supreme
Court Justice Hendrickson here yes
terday decided that the ballots in the
Close-Francis shrievalty contest with
blue pencil marks on the top, which
had he reserved in a special class for
his decision, should be thrown out.
This gives the sheriff's seat of Mon
mouth county to Charles f. Close,
The democratic nominee, by a major
ity of 80.
The justice also decided that the
ballots bearing ink marks should not
be counted. There had also been a
question over these tickets, as it was
supposed they would cut a big figure
in the outcome.
There has been a question whether
Mr.. Close could take the sheriff S seat
and at once Dust Francis, but Attor-
ney General McCarter, who was here
last week, declared that if Justice
Hendrickson gave his decision in ia
vor of Close, the latter could immedi-
ately take the seat. Mr.. McCarter
said that Mr.. Close could file his GER
tifcate at once with the justice and
have it sent to the governor, VINO
could return it Immediately, at the
same time revoking Francis commits
sion.
Francis was declared elected last
fall by a majority of SS. Close OBJ
tanned an order for Il recount, which,
up to today. reduced Mr.. Francis ma
jority to 2S. The decision rendered
today related to two classes of mark
ed ballots, only II of which, howev-
er, really decided the outcome. In

lines under the name of Louis Man

were made in printing the ballots.
A large class had ink marks on the
top of the ballots, which the republi-
cans claimed were also printers

the ballots were EAST for Francis, and

should be thrown out as marked
within the meaning of the law.
