The Bedford is a cruiser of $500
tons with a complement of CTS men.
She is in the same class with the Mon
mouth which comprises ten warships
known as the County Glass; Other
vessels of this class are the Kent,
Essex, Monmouth, Lancaster, Berwick,
Donegal, Cornwall, Cumberland and
Suffolk The Bedford was built in
1901. She carries fourteen guns of g.
inch caliber, and smaller batteries,
She has a length of 440 feet at the
waterline and beam of Sc feet. She
was designed for a speed of 23 knots
which is a knot better than any YES
sci of the Pacific feet is capable of.
Her normal coal supply is 500 tons
with a maximum of 1000 tons and also
400 tons of oil. It is said that the
twin turrets on these vessels have not
proven satisfactory and a project for
replacing them was made about two
years ago. In 1907 fire control sta
tions were fitted.
In cross-Atlantic race in 1905 of
the Second Cruiser squadron, the Ber-
wick and Cumberland averaged well
over IS knots for the whole trip, beat
ing the Essex and easily distancing the
Cornwall. The Bedford got hot bear
ings and had to ease down, after be-
ing second ship for four days. In 1906
the Cornwall made the best speed in
the cruiser race beating the Cumber-
land and Berwick. In the 190G
maneuvers the Cumberland proved the
pest steamer. The cost of each vessel
vas about f775,000.
The officers of the Bedford are: Cap
tain E. s Fitzherbert, Commander g..
Trewby, Lieutenant Dixie, Lieutenant
Wharton, Lieutenant King, Lieutenant
Lucas. Lieutenant G.. Douglas, Lieuten-
ant D. Douglas, Lieutenant tombstone,

MAJOR RAY MAY TALK.

Major B. B. Ray, U.s.A., Army pay
master here, has decided that he will
take the required physical test by
walking the ffty-mile stretch instead
of riding ninety miles on horseback.
Just why the Major has had change
of heart is not quite clear, hut it is
believed that the mounts so far offer
ed him for the test are not of the rock
ing horse class, and that he believes
Shank s Pony to be the better method
after all. Several other service folk
have also decided on the walking test.

headed by Samuel Gompers, president
John Mitchell. second vice presi-
dent James O'Connell third vice
president and Frank Morrison, sec
retary of the federation. accompan-

President Gompers submitted a
number of matters. Foremost was
one concerning the issuance of in

ularly as they apply to personal lib
erty and their use in the settlement
of disputes between employer and

Sherman antitrust act was discussed.
The president has practically de-
cided that his message to congress
will make no detailed recommenda-
tions regarding the Sherman act.
His decision, which is a decided
change from his intentions of few
weeks ago, is largely based on the
fact that there are pending in the
supreme court, and on their way to
