Before the close of the eighteenth
century Great Britain had fleet

day. There were about 700 sail, of

The so-called "three-d decker
which really had five decks, was the
stock large ship and she left the
Sovereign of the Seas far behind. The
famous Royal George, for instance
had a tonnage of 2,2S6. Again the
old salts feared that such great ships
would not be able to navigate.
The ship of Nelson's day indeed
touched the imagination of its con-
temporaries. "She carried in her

In the wake OF Caesars ships with

people considered wonderful warships

New York state beat woman SUI

New York city beat woman suffrage

Pennsylvania beat woman suffrage

districts being heard from tonight.
Massachusetts beat woman suffrage
by $500.
Ohio state beat prohibition by As
goo.
Late returns, though incomplete.
give suffrage a better showing in New
York than the first figures indicated.
Complete returns from the whole
state gave a vote of 511. 46S in favor
of the amendment, and 695,975
against. These returns came from all
parts of the state and there were only
1853 Of 5.713 election districts that had
not been heard from. on the face of
the returns available suffrage was
beaten by about 1S4,242.
With returns from 1893 of the s.
713 districts in the state missing the
total vote on the new constitution was
314,939 for, and 724,S99 against, an
actual majority of 4O9,460, indicating
that the total majority against the

tons gross and had four masts. So
large was she that many veteran sea-
men predicted she would founder the

Her cost, with all equipment was
10000 pounds $4,000 and a cou-
pie of hundred ships wrfghts took a
year to do the work"
But it was more than 60 years after
the battle of Trafalgar before a war
ship carried a gun firing a heavier
projectile than 30 pounds.
In 1861 Britain's first iron ship, the
Warrior of 9,21O tons was launched
in the Thames. She was plated for
twO-thirds her length. In the next
three years the Civil war in the
United States forced the science of
building ships of war to an astonish-
ing growth. The victory of the Moni-
tor over the Merrimac doomed the
ship of oak and brought in the ship of
iron. Since then there has been a
half century of development, the most
rapid the ship builders of the world
have ever seen. The ship of iron has
been displaced by the ship of steel.
Cannons have increased until the
maximum bore is Is inches. We have
certainly not reached the pitch of de-
velopment. Who can say how much
further it will go?
