secondary power and especially by
n South American power, has caused
no end of sensation in European ma
val circles. The world remembers how
reluctantly military and naval men of
Europe admitted that the United States
had grown to be power they must
reckon with--and now here comes a
Latin American republic building battle
ships bigger and more formidable than
any others aAoat.
In Berlin, probably, the shock was
greatest, for Germany has never quite
abandoned hope of having a great
colony in South America. She would
have had one long ago, had she been in
a position to defy the Monroe Doctrine
and the American navy which backs
that doctrine up. Because she has
never felt quite safe in defying the
diction laid down by Monroe the Ger
man policy has been to wait until the
United States was involved in a great
war with some other power, and then
to find some pretext for seizing South
American territory. But if Brazil,
which is ambitious TO dominate affairs
in South America, is going to build up
d navy of 10000 ton battleships new
obstacle is presented.

BRAZIL BUILDS

SOUTH AMERICAN REPUBLIC TAX.
ING LONG STRIDES TOWARD
PRESTIGE AT SEA BY IMPROVE
MENT OF NAVY.

LONDON, England, October li-The
name "Dreadnaught no longer stands
fer the biggest and most formidable
thing in British battleships The st.
Vincent, launched a few days ago at
Portsmouth, has displacement of 49,
go tons, as against 1890 of the
Dreadnaught, and she surpasses that
famous floating fortress in other ways.
She is to have turbine engines, with n
speed of twenty.one knots an hour; and
her armament is TO surpass that of the
Dreadnaught, though exact figures are
not made public by the Admiralty.
1t is rather singular coincidence
that on the same day the Dreadnaught
lost its place as the biggest British
war-ship Great Britain also lost first
place as the owner of the biggest war
ship. Almost at the hour the Countess
at Portsmouth, the battleship Minas
Geraes, built by Armstrong, Whitworth
& Co. at Elswick for the Brazilian gov
eminent, was launched, being ehristcn-
ed by Sonora +. Regis de Oliveira, wife
of the Brazilian minister TO London.
The Milas Geraes has undisputed
claim to being the greatest battleship
ever launched. Her dimensions are as
follows: Length, 500 feet; breadth,
80 feet; displacement, 10000 tons on
the normal draft of 25 feet; guaranteed
speed, 81 knots; bunker capacity, 1000
TONS Provision also is made for the
use of oil as fuel. The engines are of
the ordinary reeiproeating type, the Bra
lillian government deeming them more
desirable for its purposes than turbines.
The armor is nine inches thick The
armament will consist of twelve Finch
guns, twin mounted in six barbettcs,
the arrangement admitting of the firing
of eight of the big guns ahead or astern
and ten on either broadside The see
ondary battery will consist of twenty
two 4.7-inch guns, besides rapid fire
guns. The Minas Geraes is the first of
three great battleships ordered in Eng.

BAPTIZES THREE IN ICY
DELAWARE AT TRENTON,

TRENTON, Feb. 24.-Three Philadel-

In the icy waters of the Delaware. A
heavily bearded man and three others
climbed to the edge Of the river and
cut a way through the ice toward the
middle of the stream. They waded out
until the foremost stood up to his
waist.
Then the bearded man suddenly
threw one of the others forward and
plunged him head first into the water,
at the same time making mystic signs.
AS the first man emerged from his
icy bath the others received the same
treatment.
The leader was the Rev. John Fer
guson. The three who were baptized
were Howard j. Trumon, John Bryson'

We have received our chunk Of junk
--medal-from the state of New Jer-
sey. 1t is neither useful nor orna-
mental. and will not be worn with pride.
Considering that forty odd years have
glided by since the close of that war
in recognition of II services in which
said medal is given. the man behind
the gun expected something he would
be glad to hand down to his children
in commemoration of his service in the
Union army. Even were It ornate, the
forty odd years of delay in granting it
would detract from the value. Many
Jersey soldiers have answered the last
roll-call since 1860. But few are left,
and they have but a shor time to en-
JOY this generous, belated exhibit Of
our great State of her pride In her
sons service during that awful con
ilict. Another feature-the man who
served three months received a FIRST
defenders medal.
l have but little use for a three
months patriot, as such. but when he
s Teenlisted II served honorably, why
should the first defenders medal de-
bar him from the honor accorded those
with whom he faithfully served Il
longer term. but did not enter the
three months service? New Jersey
should be proud Of her troops in the
Rebellion. They were second to nope,
and it were better to have remained
quiet than at this late day present Us
