Wasnnteros. Nev. flaw-OIIIIBM day
of this month birds will be opened at the
navy department for the construction of
two great battleships—Nos. s and Has
of which will be christened tho Kearsarge,
to perpetuate the name of that famous
old craft. The cost is not to exceed
84,000,000 each, exclusive of armament,
and if arcasonable bid is obtained one
must be built on the Pacific coast. With
1,500 tons displacement, 10,000 horsepow.
or, 16 knots speed, 308 feet of length and
iii feet beam, these will be the largest
ships in our navy. Nevertheless; they
will draw but tiniest of water, with all
stores and coal aboard. or two feetless
than the battleships already built, and so
may be more readily docked and can on-
ter shallower harbors. ‘
A great novelty in these new vessels
will be in the arrangement of the guns,
for the principal battery of 13 and 8 inch
rifles will be placed in double deck turrets,
while no less than 14 rapid iirc guns of 8
inch caliber will be distributed around
each ship. The 18 inch guns and the
double deck turrets were adopted at the
instance of Chief Constructor chhborn.
The armor protection is complete—of
Harveyized nickel steel, 15 inches thick
on the barbottos, increasing to 17 inches
on the face of the 13 inch turrets, in};
inches on the waterline belt and 6 inches
above on the sides and on top of all is pro-
tective deck 2-3-1 inches thick, inclined,
todeiiect a shot. Thick bulkheads are
also provided to out off a raking ilro.
Splinter! bulkheads are placed at exposed
points, and back of the waterline armor
will be cofferdarns filled with American
corn pith to exclude writer in the event
that a shot docs perforate an armor plate.
Will Be Flagshlps.
As these ships will undoubtedly be
flagships, their complements will be 530
persons—001cc". saarnon and marinas.
The vessels will be driven by triple ex-
pansion engines, actuating twin screws
and five boilers—three double ended and
two single ended—in four watertight
compartments and will generate the steam
necessary at a pressure of 180 pounds to
the square inch. There will be no speed
premiums, a penalty of 81,000,000 a knot
being imposed for failure to reach the
contract speed of 18 knots.
A comparison of these vessels with any
foreign battleships built or building will
in every case be to the advantage of the
United States ships. The United States
vessels carry heavier guns and more of
them, heavier armor. more widely distrib-
uted and protecting more thoroughly the
vltals of the ship and gun crown
Their normal speed of 16 knots will be
less on paper than that of most foreign
battleships, but it should be noted that
this speed will be obtained with uvcry
moderate forced draft and without unduly
pushing the engines, so that it may he
expected that at any time this speed can
be duplicated by our vessels, while it is
notorious that foreign battleships never
again approach their trial speeds The
United States has never fallen into this
error as rcgards its battleships, and in
every case has required (but the maximum
contract speeds should be obtained under
conditions which should be ruproducod
again at any tlmo upon a wall drilled ship.
The lndlunuclnss are really 10 knot ships,
and battleships .3 and ti, which will have
about the some extreme speed, will be
able to nmnouvvr in rurinpany with thorn
very satisfactorily.

ture of those vessels—mud the one which
is distinctly in advance of other imttle-

000 in gold went to Europe in today's
steamer. To be exact, the figures are
04,000,000, making the total shipment for
the entire week 07,850,000. This is rather
remarkable, as it is not the time of year
when the yellow metal is generally ex-
rted.
The government’s loss of gold by to
day’s shipments brings the treasury re-
serve down to about $82,000,000. If the
flight of the eagles to Europe continues
next week, ashes been the case during the
past six days. a bond issue seems inevita-
ble. It is significant to note that the ex~
change market scarcely yielded with all
this heavy shipment
Careful inquiry aniong the bankers de-
velops the fact that there is plenty of gold
stored away in vaults in the city to restore
the treasury reserve in case President
Cleveland decides to replenish the govern-
ment cxchequor. It is learned on the best
authority that the metropolitan banks
could easily furnish 850,000, 000 worth of
angles without going outside of the city.
This fact shows beyond all perndven-
turn that the local institutions had taken
good care to provide themselves with suffi-
cient gold for future bond issues, if such
issues are made.
The individual shippers today were as
follows:
W. H. Crossmnn & Bro., $1,000,000;
Baring, Magoun 6; 00., 81,000,000; an-
ard Frorcs, $800 000; Heidelbacb, Ickel-
beimcr & (30., $700,000; Muller, Schalldr
00., $500,000: Handy & Harman, $50,-
000; L. Von Hoifnmtin 8: 00., $500,000.
Secretary Csrlislo wisely decided to let
the gold exporters have bars at a lower
percentage than general rates, in order
that the heavy shipments might not in—
convenience the treasury department. The
premium on bare is put at 1-10 of 1 per
cent, but the government, after more or
less negotiation, dropped its figures to
Hit of 1 per cent, a price that the ship-
pore were willing to pay. (in this basis
nearly all bought gold bars.
Saving Expense of Coin-.0.
There is a mutual advantage by the ar-
rangement, the government saving its
coin us well as the cost of mlnting now
eagles, while the exporters recoup them-
selves by the price they get for exchange
The reason of this is that with coin the
shipper must wait until it is assayed and
weighed, the loss from abrasion being an
unknown quantity, while with bars the
exact figures are known.
It is learned that twu things might tend
to check the outflow of gold. Those are
the sole of cotton holes to the Manchester
manufacturers for their looms and the
shipment abroad of the wheat crop. In
the first instance there is much to hope
for. Indeed only yesterday 0300, 000 was
transferred to New Orleans by the sub-
trensury for the movement of the cotton
crop.
America supplies Europe with about
two-thirds of the cotton it requires, and
practically little has been shipped abroad
as yet. The India Cotton crop is reported
light, and there is also a shortage in the
south as compurod with other years. Mun-
chostor nmnufncturnrs must buy their
cotton sooner or lutcr (llld must pay not ti
or 7 cents a pound. us was the euro lost
year, but 10 cents a pound, so that cotton
bills of exchange must of necessity come
upon the market within a short time.
in the case of wheat there is every rea-
son to expect that tho shipments to Eu-
rope will be lnrgor in the coming weeks
than they have been in the last month.
Should this ho tho case the wheat bills of
exchange will also help to retard the flight
of our eagles to Europe.
The advices from Washington arc to the
effect that President Clevclnnd will make
the financial situation quite clear to con-
gress in his coming message. but it is
more than likuly that the gold outflow
will bu checked. if chucked at all, not by
our national legislators, but by the ship-
niont abroad of our cotton and wheat
