A Glance al Current Topics and Events

Washington, Feb. 11.-Contract plans
for the construction of the battleship
PENNSYLVANIA, the largest fighting ma
chine yet designed by any navy, were
signed by Secretary Meyer some time
ago, and bids will b. opened at the
navy department on Feb. Is.
Without armor and guns the Penn
sylvania, with a displacement of 81
400 tons, will cost $7,425,OO0. The to-
tai cost will be between 100000
and $12,OOO,OOO.
The plans contemplate vessel of
the following proportions: Length OF
designers water line, 600 feet; length
over all, Cos feet; breadth, 81 feet u
inch; draft, % feet 10 inches; displace-
ment, 3l,400 tons; speed on four hour
trials, II knots.
The heavy battery will consist Of
twelve fourteen-inch guns and four
submerged torpedo tubes supported by
a torpedo defense battery of twenty
two five-inch guns. The fact that she
will carry twelve fourteen-inch guns
and water line armor plate Of sixteen
inches in thickness made it necessary
to design a ship exceptionally long in
order that her beam shall not be too
wide for safe passage through the
Panama canal.
When the battleship Delaware was
laid down six years ago it was found
expedient to widen the canal from
100 to 10 feet.
The Pennsylvania will be heavily ar
mored and will be driven by reciprocal
ing engines or turbines, as may be de-
cided after the bids are received, and
will be fitted with oil burning boilers
of the water tube type.

;nauquraI Ball Costly,

Washington, Feb. 10.-One of the ar
gumentS in favor of holding the inau-
gural ball in the capitol is that the use
of the pension building for the ball
costs the government a pretty penny
in loss Of services of employees and in
other ways. Vespasian Warner, who
was commissioner of pensions at the
time, made report to congress about
the Taft and Sherman inaugural ball
in which he said that setting aside the
pension building for this purpose had
caused the government a loss of $685.
600 and that in addition the work of
the bureau, always heavy, had been
set back for from six months to year.
An estimate made recently of the
loss that will fall on the government
through using the pension building for
the Wilson and Marshall inaugural ball
places the total figure at between SS5,-
600 and nearly 100000. This estimate
is based on the supposition that it will
be necessary to give holiday of from
ten days to two weeks to 500 pension
agency employees, whose salaries for
that time would be $4,000 to $4,000;
holiday of one week to the entire
pension Office staff, with salaries for
that time of $4,000, and a holiday of
from ten days to two weeks to $50 en-
ployees Of the Indian Office. who have
quarters in the pension building, with
salaries for that period of $4,000 to
$4,000 In addition it is estimated
that it will cost $4,000 for lighting and
decorating the pension building and
for other expenses. X 81
