A Formidable Ship.
The South Carolina is one OF the two
''all big gun" battleships authorized by
Congress the other being the Michigan,
which was recently given her initial dip
at the New York shipbuilding yard at
Camden, y. j. The South Carolina has
a length between perpendieulars of 4J0

draft will be ~ feet q inches. Her nor
NAL displacement will be 5000 tons and
fUll-ioad displacement 1900. The big
vessels reciprocatins engines VIII have
1900 horsepower, and are expected to
develop a speed of 1sl2 knots an hour, the
contract figures. Her bunker capacity
will be >. 100 tons.
The main battery of the South Carolina
will consist of eight 12-inch breech- loading
rifles mounted i'll four turrets and so ar
ranged that each gun can fire two shots a
minute These guns will be able to fire
on either brOadsde. and will permit six
teen 350-pound projectiles to be dis
charged every minute. The South Caro-
lima will also have battery of about
thirty 3-nch and smaller guns to afford
protection from torpedo boats and de-
stroyers. and will carry an armament OF
submerged torpedo tubes.

The understanding is that District mill
tia headquarters has had nothing to do
with the arrangements for the work of
the brigade this summer, further than to
reluctantly comply with the desires of
the War Department Personally. Gen.
Harries is said to take the view that the
undertaking should have a fair trial. that
being the only way to determine the
success Or failure of the proposition.
That the matter is taken entirely
away from local control is evident by
a communication to the effect that
there will be no duties for Gen. Har-
ries and members Of his staff while the
brigade is at the forts. 1t is added that
the commanding general and his staff
may go to the forts as observers. II they
so desire. The probability u.s. however.
that part. at least. of the general staff
will proceed to Fort Washington under
orders. A meeting has been called for
tomorrow evening in connection with the
matter.
AS soon as arrangements are made by
the chief of the artillery district of the
Potomac. to transport the troops, orders
will be issued by militia headquarters di-
rsctfng the movement. The time inter-
vening before the start is brief but head
quarters cannot take any definite action

In one month from date the national
rife matches will be in progress on the
range at Camp Perry, Ohio, on the banks
Of Lake Erie, across from Putin bay.
adjacent to Sandusky and within easy
reach of Cleveland, Toledo and Detroit.
1t is expected that more than one thou
sand of the crack military shots will be
in attendance, who, with the 100 Off
GERS, scorers, markers, guards, etc, will
make a camp of about $500 men.
1t is indicated that the matches will
be the largest in point of attendance ever
held in this country. The chances are
determining such contests. 1t is repre-
sented that the attendance on these
matches is SO large as to necessitate from
two to three weeks shooting, of which
ten days are devoted to the national
matches alone. Many shooters are unable
to take this time, together with that neces-
sary for home practice and competitions
for places on the teams.
The question of expense is also enter
ing largely into the calculations of the
state authorities. 1t costs some of the
states as much as 5000 to fit out team
and send it to the national matches,
which is a considerable item to the
smaller states, especially when they are
trying to buy and equip ranges of their
own out of the appropriation for rifle
practice. Accordingly. the project Of di-
vtdtng the country into districts and hav-
ing district competitions instead of one
great meeting is being seriously consid-
cred with the possibility of being finally
approved. The winning teams could then,
be brought together at a central point
and a national competition held. Under
this plan the smaller and weaker states
that have no chance to land prize in the
national competition would be saved much
expense and the time consumed would be
considerably shortened.
