TEN-GEN RATTLESFIPS.

In the new periodical The Navy" of which
the first number has just appeared, Captain
Richard Wainwright gives his views regarding
the type of battleship which The United States
should adopt when the next vessels are con-
structed. That officer, who IS now q member
of the General Board, favors the policy Of en-
ploying only guns Of the largest calibre in tho
main battery of ship designed for heavy
fighting, and believes in securing given gun
power with few vessels rather than with many.
His opinions, it will be observed, harmOniZa
with those of Rear Admiral Sims, who recently
advocated big battleships in paper which he
prepared for the Naval Institute. Admiral
Sims. however endeaYored TO show that the
course which he advocated would result in
( sappreciable economy, though he was not blind
TO the increase in efficiency which might be
attained by diminishing the size of feet.
Captain Wainwright discusses the latter phase
of the subject alone.
Assuming that 12-inch guns are the only ones
worth considering, Captain Wainwright COM
pares three ways Of distributing forty such
pieces There would be something like equal
ity between ten Lousianas, five Michigans and
-four ships of the kind recommended to Con-
gress by Secretary Bonaparte. These last are
designed 10 carry ten guns each. Now, II ten
Iouisianas Were arranged In single column.
IN order to use their batteries for broadsdes,
existed, the line would be about two and a
half miles long. No such concentration of fire
would be possible, therefore, as with five Mich
igans or four of Mr. Bonaparte's ships Cap
tain Wainwright pronounces broadside fire the
prime consideration In the plans of battleship,
and holds that the number OF vessels which
gives the highest concentration is to be pre.
ferTed TO any other. Hence he emphatically ad-
vocates ten-gun ship.
Though the Navy Departments design calls
for no more guns than the Dreadnought car
ries, there is a difference in their disposition
Three or the Dreadnought's turrets. each
mounting pair Of guns, are on the central line
OF the ship, and the others are on her sides
In the proposed American battleship all five
pairs would be the central line. Hence all
ten guns OF the latter vessel could be employed
In broadside, whereas only eight on the for
sner can be similarly utilized The Dread.
nought can train six guns either forward or
aft and Mr.. Bonaparte's arrangement of the
turrets makes ii possible to use only four guns

CAPTAIN RANDALL AND FIVE
GOOD SAILORS LOST.
BALANCE REACH THE SHORE
Heavy Northwest Gale Drives Craft
to Pieces on the Rocks-Was
Heavily Laden With CoaI-life
Boat Was Swamped-Vesse and
Cargo Total Loss.

Grand Marais, Mich, Sept. 2S.-
Captain Randall and five sailors of
the steamer Alexander Nimick lost
their lives when their ship stranded
on the south shore of Lake Superior
and went to pieces in the heavy
northwest gale. The remaining eleven
men of the crew succeeded in max
ing their way safely through the
surf to the shore.
The Nimick, heavily laden with
coal, was fighting her way up the
lake through the storm when the
steering gear became disabled. Rem
dered unmanageable, the big ship
was forced steadily toward the land
finally STRIKING at a point thirteen
miles west of Whitefish Point. The
lfeboats were at once lowered, but
the one containing Captain Randall
and the five men was swamped, in
the heavy seas. The place where the
vessel struck is surrounded by an al
most uninhabited wilderness and the
rescued men had to go far to seek
shelter.
The lost steamer was a wooden
ship of 1868 tons, built in West Bay
City in 1890. 1t was owned by the
Gilchrist Transportation company of
Cleveland and was valued at about
$4,000. Both vessel and cargo of
5000 tons of coal will be total loss.
The storm which overcame tba
Nlmick was the first of the regular
fall gales. For several days past the
smaller vessels trading on Lake SUI
perior have been seeking shelter at
convenient points, although the
larger ships have not been delayed.
Houghton, Mich, Sept. 23.-The
steamer City Glasgow arrived in
portage Lake at daybreak leaking
badly from the effects of the pounding
received during yesterdays north.

death as the result of a street fight

Of COAL
ARE ADVANCED

Superior, Wis, Sept. 24.-Notice of
an advance in the price of cargo and
dock coal has been given by the coal
companies, the rates going into effect
at once The other varieties of an
thracite coal as nut, egg and stove
coal remain as they were in price.
The advance in the price of the pea
Goals is 80 cents per ton. Cargo pea
formerly sold at $5.75 so that the ad-
vance makes it 1928 per ton. The
dock pea was worth $3.50 so that the
price is now an even So.
The advance is due to the fact that
during the summer there has been no
advance in the price of pea coal. The
prices of egg, stove and nut have
been advanced 10 cents per ton each
month since the first of April so that
the usual advance of so cents per ton
has been made. Now with the in
crease in the demand for pea coal it
has been decided to put the price
back to the figure that il usually sells
at during the winter months.
Other varieties of anthracite sell at
$7.75 per ton, the price that has been
maintained here for years. 1t Is al
ways cut in the spring of the year
and sells then at so cents less than
during the winter. During the sum-
mer it is advanced 10 cents per
per month to bring it back to the
regular price.
