THE WlLMlNiCJl'bN MESSENGER, SUNDAY, NOYEMBM'ii,;1895. 3 POWERFUL PBAOEMAKEES. Two Battleships Designed for Our Nary To Bo tbe Moat Powerful Vessels Afloat One to be Named tbe Kearsarge, tbe Other, Probably, tbe Alabama. ' Copyright UoitedPrf as, -895. - Washington. D. C, Hov. 22, 1895 Within a year after the famous frigate Kearsarge was wrecked on Roncador reef Congress determined to perpetuate the name by giving it to the most power ful defender of American rights that could be designed by pur naval construc tors, and by its act of March 2, 1895 authorized two great armored battle" ships, to ultimately cost, complete, about $5,000,000 each, and to be invulnerable against the heaviest sea-goiDg fighters of any foreign navy. The specific provis ion that bne of these vessels should be christened Kcareage made an exception to the law stipulating that ships of this class should be named for States of the Union, and Congress alone bad power to moii'y this requirement. As no sug gestion Was made in the case of the sister ship, tbe suggestion has been made that sbfe be called after Secretary Her bert's native State, the other sections of the country having been remembered in the Oregon, Indiana, Massachusetts and Iowa. . This qu stion will not be pressed until the launching time comes about two years hence and in the meantime, in accordance with the usual custom of the Navy Department, the vessels will be officially known as battleships No. 5 and No. 6. Legislative authority also de clared that one of the vessels should be built on the Pacific coast, unless reason able bids could not be secured from that locality, and tbe limit of cost, ex clusive of armament, was fixed at $4, 000,000. . These being the first great warships des'gned under the present Administra tiun. it was resolved that no f ffort should be spared to make them, without ques tion, the highest types of their class; and for the past six months lively contro versies have raged in the Navy Depart ment over their smallest details, every Eort'on of the deaig is haying bpen ex austively .discussed by experts, and every advantage of exp rfcnce gained from other battleships constructed both at home and abroad having been fully utilized. One essential requisite laid down by Secretary Herbert as that these vessels should draw lees water when fully laden than any other first-class battleship, either in this country or abroad. The largest foreign battleships, when ready for st a duty, draw in the neighborhood of twenty-eight feet of water. Our ex isting battleships, while drawing twenty four feet at normal displacement, owing to settling by the ttern due to increased weight, really draw about twenty-seven feet, battleships 6 and 6 bave been de signed to draw about twenty-five feet, with 1.200 tons of coal and aty stores and ammunifon on board. This will enable them to reach all of the principal navy yards and ports of the country even when fully laden, and will make their docking less difficult than that of the other American battleships. The question of the calibre and dispo- - sition of the large guns gave rise to more diecusrton than any other question in rannpc inn with these vessels. Chief A Constructor Hichborn, who is responsible f f for all designs, under the new rulinsr of f . the Navy Department, held views diff er- ing radically from those of the chief of the bureau of ordoance, who designs and build the guns. The chief constructor advocated that the largest guns Bhould be twelve inches calibre four being car ried in two turrets and that 8-inch guns . should be carried in four turrets, making six turrets in all. The chief of ordnance Drrtosed the novel scheme of torn I tWU I double-decked turrets on each ship, in the lower part of which were to be mounted two 13 inch guns, and in the upper part two 8 inch guns, making the heavier battery consist of four 13 inch and four 8 inch in two turrets. . The de partment, upon the majority vote of the council of bureau chiefs, finally adopted this plan, and the 13 inch and 8-inch guns will accordingly be mounted in double turrets, one rigidly superposed upon the other. These gun positions will be elliptical in section, with major axes in the line of . fire, and will have complete armor pro tection from a distance of four feet below the water line to the top of th 8 inch turrets. This armor, as well as all armor used on these v ssels, will be solid nickel-steel, Harvejiz-d. The lower part of the protection, the so-called barbettes, will have armor fifteen inches thick, except immediately i in front, where it will be increased to seventeen inches. The armor protecting the 8 inch guns will be nine inches, and that also will be two inches heavier where the guns protrude. : ' ' In addition to these heavy guns, a bat tery of f urteen 5-inch rapid fire guns will be mounted on the main deck be tween the turrets and will be protected ' by continuous armor six inches thick, a splinter bulkhead two inches thick sep arating each gun station. A numerous battery of smaller six-pounder and one- puunder guns will b- placed wherever they can fiie io advantage. ' The protection of the bull against in iury to the vital regions along the water- line will be effected by means of ' a side armor belt of sixteen and a half inches maximum hicknes". with a mean depth of seven and a half feet. Protection will be afforde I above the main side armor by a steel belt five Inches thick, extending up to the level of the mai deck and tunning in a for1 and aft direction from the centre of the forward to the centre of the after bar bette. On top of the main aid armor belt will rest a flat steel deck two and tfree-quarters inches thick, and forward and abaft the machinery and boiler spaces this deck will be inclined at the sides, and the thickness on the slopes in creased to three and five inches. To further protect the vessel against raking fire atbwartship, bulkheads of armor ten And twelve inches thick will be placed at the points where the deck joins the inclined slopes In add i ion to the ar mor, belts, cofferdams filled with com pressed, fireproof American corn-pith cellulose, recently tested with puch satis factory results, will be distributed the entire length of the vessel in the region of the water line between the coal bunk ers and the ship's outer skin. The oon jng tower armor is to be ten inches thick, witii a tube seven inches thick leading down to the armor deck for the protec tion of voice pipes, telegraph, Bteering rods, etc. Throughout the vessel the use of wood is reduced to a minimum, the stateroom bulkheads being made of steel, covered with cork sheathing Every attention is given to lighting-, heating, draining and ventilating the vessel in the most ap proved and modern manner, three dis tinct electric lighting plants being in stalled, each furnishing 100 amperes of current at eighty volts. All wood ma terial of every description is to be treated by electric fireproofing process. As these ships are intended for duty as flag ehipp, accommodations are made for a compliment of 520 persons, officers, seamen and marines.' They may carry provisions and small stores for a three months' stay at sea, summer and winter clothing in sufficient quantity for a year's service, and, besides the distilling apparatus capacity, the tanks hold a sup ply of fresh water to last fifteen drys. The Kearsarge and her sister ship will be" driven by two sets of triple-expan sion engines, in separate compartments, actuating twin screws, each screw being pTopeiua oy a irect-acting engines hav ing cylinders of 33J inches, 51 inches i a : i J! ... ana 40 idcdoi ui&meier, wun a common stroke of 48 inches, indicating, together with the engines for air and circulating Dumps, a collective horse-power of 10 . 000. when making about 120 revolutions a minute. Five boilers, two double ended end two single, in zour watertight joom- partments, will generate the necessary steam at a pressure of 180 pounds to the square inch. There will be -no speed premiums,1 a penalty of $10,000 - a knot being imposed for failure to reach the contract speed of sixteen knots f r four consecutive hours. If the speed falls below fifteen knotswhich is highly im probable, the vessel may, in the Presi dent's discretion, be rejected altogether. The main features of the Kearsarge's design involve the following dimensions: Length of load water line. 3 8 feet. tieam, extreme, 72 feet 2.5 inches. Freeboard, forward, 14 feet 3 inches. Freeboard, aft. 12 feet 3 inches. Mean draft, with 410 tons of coal, 23 feet 6 inches. Corresponding dispacement, 11,500 tons. .. Speed, per hour, 16 knots -Indicated horse-power, 10,000. Total coal supply, loose stowage, 1,210 tons.' Torpedo tubes, two each broadside, 1 in stem. To serve the batteries, 481 tons of am munition will be habituallv carried on earh ship, distributed as follows: Thirteen-inch breech-loading rifles, 200 rounds. Eight-inch breech loading rifles, 600 rounds. Five inch rapid-fire rifles, 3.500 rounds. Six pounder, rapid-fire rifles, 10,000 pounds. One pounder rapid fire rifles, 24,000 rounds. Each magazine is intended to contain 208,000 rounds of 45 calibre cartridges, to be fed into the insatiable maws of the four Gatlings, each capable of discharg ing 1.500 shots a minute; 109,000 rounds of .236 calibre nickeled pellets for the repeating rifl-s with which Jack Tar and the marines willshor-ly be equipped, and 38,000 rounds of 38 calibre ball cart ridges for the self-cocking, long naval revolvers to be useful in boarding an eemy. Eight Whitehead torpedoes will ordinarily be stored ready for launching, and for landing purposes a mounted regulation field gun has not been omitted. It is conservatively esti that the Kearsarge, in commission, will bave ammunition aboard to kill or dis able over a million persons, and that she will be able to fire it all . away within five hours tbe calculated duration limit of a fierce fight afloat. Every comparison of these ships with any foreign battleship, built or building, is clearly favorable to the American de sign. The United States ships will carry heavier guns and more of them, and heavier armor, more widely distributed and protecting more thoroughly the vitals of the gun crew. While their normal speed of sixteen knots will be less on paper than that of some foreign battleships, it is notable that it will be obtained with a very moderate forced draft for a period of four . hours and without unduly pushing the engines, so that at any time this velocity can be duplicated by our vessels, foreign bat tleships notoriously never again ap. proaching their single-measured mile trial Bpneds. The Kearsarge. when using as bases of action ports having not more than 23 feet of water at their entrances will be limited to 410 tons of coal, which will permit her to cruise 1,350 nautical miles at a 13 knot rate, or 2,000 miles at 10 knots per hour. When operating from a deep water harbor, however, her bunker room is bo ample that 1,210 tons can be rapidly stored in her, it being possible to dump that amount with the greatest ease into the bunkers without trimming or handling, and with this amount, for all ordinary contingencies, or for service in time of war along our coast, at a cruising velocity of 13 knots, she can steam nearly 4,000 miles or at the more leisurely 10 know rate she can go over 6,000 miles. In case it be came necessary to send her greater dis tances she has provision to carry tern norarily about 500 tons . outside the bunkers, which would give her -the in comparable limit of 9,000 miles. - Perhaps the most- novel feature of these vessels, and the one which is dis tinctly in advance of any battleships in the world, is the unprecedented formid able secondary battery of fourteen 5-inch . . r n . . . 1 . rapid lire rmes incasea oenina me pro tection of five inches of the best' armor. Tbe 5 inch gnn is the largest calibre that can be bred with extreme rapidity, and the protection eiven these trans is such th Jfc it could be penetrated by but few of the weapons with which any possible opponen is armed. Experience in the recent war between China and Japan clearly indicated the effective power of rapid fire guns . and demonstrated that to enable such guns to do their best work, they should have more protection than has, heretofore been given them. The terrific destructive e fleets of this secondary hattery can hardly be over estimated. At all ranges the big 13 inch "Peacpmakers" in the turrets, with their half ton projectiles, striking fairly. can smanh to pieces anything afloat, and the 8-inch rifl-s, ' throwing explosive shells over a range of ten miles, are cal culated to disconcert an enemy; but the 5-inch battery is relied -upon to thor oughly demoralize or finally annihilate him. Upon such a steady platform as the Kearsarge will supply, and on ac count of the rapidity with which tbe Sc inch rifle may be accurately manipu lated, naval experts are confident of her abili'y to drive consecutive shells into identical spots of a slowly m vintr tar- got, one shot opening the path for its follower, five rounds having been fired from one of these guns in twenty-four seconds 1 A literal hail of fifty-pound explosive projectiles from these fourteen guns would riddle the vulnerable parts of 1 any war vessel and speedily force it out r action. . Such are the vessels for which bids will be opened next Saturday, November 30th. and which, according to the con tracts, must be delivered to the Govern ment by the end of 1898. R L. F.

Editors Messenger : Mr. Keith, in last Sunday's - Messen ger, takes up. about as much space in. trying to answer the fancy heading you gave my letter of November 10th for which I am-ln no way responsible as ; he does in trying to answer the letter i itself. He has made the wonderful or fearful discovery that I am a Federal office holder. I wonder who did go and tell him that ? I had just as well 'fess up that I am. I have a fat place. I am a fourth class postmaster and have been for about twenty-five yeara a long time before the .free silver craze was born. I said it was a fat place, It pays anywhere from $6 to $12 a month. I hope Mr. Keith will not forget' this, as am getting old and may die before a great while, and as it is such a desirable place he might stand a chance of getting it when I am dead, should" he conclude to leave that nest of Wilmington gold bugs and get out of the county where he could get plenty of fresh air and at the same time hold a big Federal office ike I am doing and have been doing for a. long time. In my letter in the Messenger of the 10th I laid down eleven propositions. Mr. Keith has not answered a single one of them. He can't answer a single one of them if he lives 1.000 years. This craze, asking or expecting free sil ver coinage at a legal ratio double the world's market ratio is quite young. It had its birth the same dismal, dark. awful night that the Populist party was horn. In fact, they are twins, hitched together in the middle. 'Their daddy is a long beaded, sharp, shrewd Radi cal. Their mission since their birth has been to dupe, delude, deceive and di- yide the white people of the South. How well they have succeeded in this State, the "mongrel crew that met at Raleigh last January is a standing mon nment of shame and disgrace for all time to come. Mr. Editor, that was a grand edi torial in the Messenger of the 15th. I was delighted with it. You say many grand things for the noble old Demo cratic party. - Ton might have said many more grand things to the credit of the grand old party. You might have said it always stood squarely for sound money not a single declaration ever made in its National conventions that could be construed into meaning anything else, and yoa might have said it is truly and emphatically a white man's party, and tbe only white man's party in North Carolina. The old party has a grand record a record of which any party might feel justly proud. 1 will only speak now of its record since 1870. In the years 1869 and 1870 carpetr baggers, scallawags and vandals of every kind and description, aided by the negro vote, held sway and plun dered and robbed the good old State from the mountains to the sea. Their policy seemed to be to keep the negro down in his ignorance and degrade the white man and his child to a level with the negro, instead of trying to educate and elevate the negro. I say their actions proved this to be their policy, for there was not a public school for either whites or blacks during , carpet bag rule in North Carolina. When the rue white men of North Carolina rose in their might and drove these vandals from power, and many of them from the State, did they retaliate on the negro, whose votes had helped these scoundrels to place and power by depriving him of the right to vote? No, they did no such thing; instead, they taxed themselves to educate the negroes' children, and from that day to this the negro child gets an equal share of the public school money with the white child generous, noble record. And daring all these years the negro has voted almost solidly against the men that have proved themselves to be their best friends, and for a set of scoundrels who never fail to threaten . the poor negro with slavery should the Democrats get in power again. During the more than twenty years of Democratic rule in North Carolina, not one effort has ever been made by a single Legislature to deprive the negro of the right to vote or of any other right he enioya. Thanks to Democratic money, nearly . every young negro in North Carolina has been taught to read and write. No true Democrat will ever attempt to take any right from the negro or to deprive him of an equal share of public school money with which to educate his children. If they had been disposed to do anything of the kind they have had' ample oppor tunity for the last twenty years. , Under true Democratic rule in our sister State, South Carolina, under the leadership of the noble, generous,hrave Hampton there was no talk of making a law that would deprive the negro of the right to vote. Bat when the peo ple were duped by glittering promises to deser the noble Hampton and all true principles of Democracy and put in power that boss Populist, Ben Til man when Mr. Tilman reaches the place that he has coveted so long, what Companies expresslyfor this great con- ' 1 f the Fire Consists of over made up expressly for the comins 112 WIMM does he say ? "He says because the negro voted for thieves and scoundrels to pilage and plunder the State, - that by the eternal God they shall not vote any more and he puts a clause in the Constitution that closes the ballot box to the negro and the poor white - man as welL .- -- y What Tillman has done in South Car olina the leaders of the Populists in this State -would do if they thought they could .thereby prolong . their lease of power. : ; .- -i, --7jy ". But in a very few years the free silver craze and Popism will be dead and put in a hole and the people they have duped and deceived, will push the hole in after them and then come back to the noble old Democratic party. " J iow m we last congress rsnce, uor- man, Morgan ana three other Senators succeeded in 'defeating .to some extent the tariff reform demanded by Mr. Cleveland and other true and fried re form Democrats; three of these obstruc tionlsts ' met their political - death the V first Tuesday of this month; the others will meet ' thiers in due time nd the old party, in a few years," will come oat of the turmoil and strife puri fied, better and Btronger than ever; and in the future, as in the past, the two strongest planks in. their platforms will be low J tariff and : . absolutely sound money. The grand old - Democratic party is aa old as the . Government, and will live as long as - the . Government lives. - True, some few would be leaders are, and have been, pandering to pop ulisticf delusions aha trying to palm it off on the masses as democracy, with the - hope of securing" votes to . ride into oflice as Democrats. These snouid be branded as traitors to true Demo cratic principles, and none but true Democrats should be nominated for any office and certainly no one Bhould be sent to Congress who would vote for the miserable ' heresy that would tax the people of the United States for the pur pose of paying ; the silver mine owner a bounty of from 60 to 70 cents an ounce on all the- silver bullion he can produce.' -,".r In my last letter I laid down a few propositions ; that have not been an swered. Now I beg to ask a few ques tions that I would be glad some silverite would answer. . - . . . . . 1. If the free coinage of silver, bime tallism or double standard, or whatever you wish to call it, is as great a blessing to all tbe people as some would have us believe, why is it that after a trial of hundreds of years it has been pro nounced a failure and abandoned and the single or gold standard adopted by .England, France, (Jermany, Belgium, Italy, Switzerland, Greece, Spain, Portugal, Roumania, Servia, Austria, Hungary, Netherlands, Scandinavia, Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Russia, and Finland, Turkey, Bulgaria, Aus tralia, Egypt, Cuba and Hayti? 2. If the free coinage of silver in Mex ico is so profitable as some would - bave u-i believe, why did Mexico export 54. 000,000 ounces of silver bullion in 1894 instead of coining it into $68,750,000 Mexican dollars ? - 3 Is ; it reasonable or good common sense to believe that the . few silyerites in the United States have more wisdom and, greater financial knowledge than all the rest of mankind combined ? Yours, truly, R. M. C. XT. N. O. FOOT BALL TEAMS. The First Team Preparing for tbe Championship Game 1 be Second. 1 , Eleven to dive Wilmington a Hard Tussle Both in Good. Condition. University of North Carolina, November 23, 1895. J Editors Messenger: ' From November 15th until Christmas holidays, college life is really at its height. The students study harder, get along better and everything progresses much more evenly than at other seasons. Worn out by the sultry days of - Septem ber and October the cooling breezes of November so refresh . and revive the students that they apply themselves more diligently and, rejoicing over the success which naturally follows such ap plication, anticipate with pleasure the coming holidays. On Tuesday evening the. Historical society held its first meeting in the his tory room. The meeting was called to order by President Battle,.who stated the object and purposes of the society. Sev eral instructive papers on the history of' North Carolina were read and the meet ing passed very pleasantly. 3 A track athletic team has recently been organized, and, judging from the pluck and determination of its members, it will certainly be successful. The track has been laid off and an excellent cinder path will be made. This is a new source of out-door amusement and from it great benefit can be derived. A "mammouth mass meeting" was held in the chapel last night for the pur pose of showing the team how much college spirit there was in this institu tion and also to let them know how bad we want them to "lick" Virginia. Amid yells, cheers and so gs the boys escorted the foot ball players and faculty up to th platform. Speeches were made by Dr Battle,. Dr. Venable, Professor Alderman, Professor Williams and Pro fessor Gore. - - ' Dr. 'Battle's Bpeech was especially good. Mx. Trenchard and Mr. Gregory no and 112 MARKET STREET, WILrMINQTON, N.

Save this, brings It with you,1 and ask for the following articles. " made a talk. . Great applause attended the speakers throughout and intense en thusiasm was manifest. " Excitement over the - Thanksgiving day games increases and owing ' to the brilliant work of both teams we feel con fident of ' victory. The , practice has shown great improvement i,.. the team work of both elevens. The coachers are paying tbe most careful attention to the teams and putting forth every effort to' defeat Virginia and win the champion snip of the South. Secret practice has begun and will continue until the team leaves for Richmond. The coachers have several new tricks which' will be tried in the Virginia game and which will no doubt prove quite a puzze to the boys from Charlottsville. - For the 'varsity, Butler and Bair play the best game; their offensive play being especially good. Collier is in good form, gets in the interference and plays with that energy and vivacity so essential to an athlete. Hurley and Merritt are working hard and playing fine ball. Gregory plays a pretty end, his strong defensive play being the best on the team, . His tackling is superb and it will be no easy matter for a team to circle his end. Stephens and Moore are bril liant as half-backs, their interference and long runs being especially noticable. Owing to Whitaker's sickness during the past week, Stanley has been playing quarter-back. He passes the ball well and .gets into the interference every time. His tackling is not quite up to the standard Of the two players Whit aker seems to be the better. The week's practising has been very encouraging to the students and especially to the coach ers, whose knowledge of the game and great interest in the sucoess of the team has done so much towards molding the raw material into a 'strong, r snappy, eleven, a team destined to sweep over Virginia and carry off the championship of the South. ' . i The University Reserves are getting in trim for the great game9 in Wilmington Thanksgiving day. The team averages 17 pounds in the line, and behind 155. Training ' has ' been going on for two months, and the team has had the ben-- efit of Trenchard and Baskerville as trainers. - The followkn is a list of the men who will be lined tip against Wil mington November 28th : Center, Joy ner; right guard, Bagwell; left guard, Carson; right tackle, Lake; left tackle, Allen; right end, Beet; left end, McRae; quarter-back (capt ), Rogers right half back, Grimes; left half-back, 'Haywood; full-back, Williams. Bailey, .Jones and lowd are also applying. Of . these Bailey and Jones are the strongest Bailey's punting and tackling is brilliant At present he is.puffering from a strained muscle. Jones p ays a quick, hard game and has a good showing for right guard. Our three center men, Joyner, Bagwell and Carson are invincible, and stand together like a stone wall Lake and Allen play a very good game at tackle 'i and are quite up to the standard. Our end men, fticltae and Best play a sure, steady game and tackle well. At quar ter back Capt Rogers, better known ss "Capt-Fwank," reigns supreme. His sure tackling, quickness in passing the balls, together with a great amount of oluck and grit makes him a model quar ter back. Haywood at half plays a steady game and gains nearly every time he gets the ball. The other half back, Grimes, is a recent applic tnt and it was hardly expected that he could make the team, but by his brilliant dashes for twenty and thirty yards at a time and his sure tackling his place is secure. The team work is especially fine, all the players getting into every play. On the whole we have a fine second eleven, and although we realize that Wilming ton has a very strong team, probably the second best in the State, still we in tend to make the contest very close and entertain hopes of winning.
