MONITOR -fcAUNCHEBl
Newport News.
FIRST OF NEW SINGLt TURRETS
.Site I Modeled After -the Style of tlie
Old Monitors of the Brjca- -
NEWPORT NEWS, Va., Nov. M. The
monitor Arkansas was launched at tho
shipyard today. The event was very suc
cessfuL Miss Bobblt Newton Jones, tho
daughter of the Governor of Arkansas,
christened the-monltor as It started down
the ways. In addition to Governor Jones
and a party of Arkansas people, there
were present Governor Tyler, of Virginia,
a large party ot naval officers and a
number of Invited guests.
The monitor Arkansas Is the first of a
type developed by the American Navy,
tor not since the days pf the Civil War
has a single-turreted monitor been con
structed. The Arkansas will have as
.slater ships the Florida and the "Wyom
ing1, and a third, which was to have
been the Connecticut still is unnamed.
These are known as harbor defense moni
tors, and while small, will have large
accommodathms for crews for vessels of
-their size, and so be valuable for the
use and Instruction of the naval militia.
The Arkansas will not cost more than
$1,600,000 complete. The designs were
prepared by Chief Constructor Hlchborn,
and provide for a single turret of the
Hlohborn type, on the center line forward,
with -an Inclined top. and made .of steel
.nine Inches hlck This turret will con
tain two of the new high-power 12-Inch
breech-loading rifles. Besides thiB -armament,
the Arkansas will carry four four
Inoh guns, three slx-pounders and lour
one-pounders.
A special effort was made to secure A
light drait for uus lormiaaDie rype oi
'vessel so the Arkansas, when complete,
will draw only 12 feet 6 Inches of water J
.on a displacement of 323S toie, enabling 1
Jher to lip. into any harbor open tSUSSA
golng shipping. Eleven Inches of steel ar
mor protect the sides of the monitor
above the water-line, and there will be a
protecth e deck for the full length of the
vessel, IV4 Inches. -thjek. .Twin-screw m
gines will drive the monitor at a maxi
mum speed of 11 knots, amply sufficient
Tor a harbor defense vessel, and electric
ity wiir be employed for turret-turning
gears, ammunition hoist, ventilating ap
paratus and all the secondary accommo
dations. The wood In the vessel Is fire
proof. Unlike the old. type of monitors,
the Arkansas wjll have staterooms above
the deck for the officers and crew, but
the superstructure has been so designed
that It will not affect the ship should the
superstructure be -destroyed in action,
thus retaining the virtues of -the monitor
principle.

successfully concluded at a conference in
this city. An agreement to which U con

Other conferences of Iron and steel men
are npw In. progress, though thus far these
ara said to have been Informal. There
tobe. a general expectation .that
the price of billets will De aavanceo. snorc
ly, and the price also of bar iron. Both
of these however, have been gradually
strengthened without artificial aid. As
In the case of billets these two staples
suffered severely during the Summer dull

fcbOu 51 a ton firmer. Some doubt Is ex
pressed as to the feasibility of establlsh

from any such arrangement for over two

SLOW PROGRESS BENG; MADE TW
. CHTJfESE NEGOTIATIONS.
.Minister Have Agreed ns Far as
They BaVe Goner but They
Hate Nut Gone Far.
PEKIN, Thursday, Nov. 8. Although
the Ministers affirm that their meeting
was perfectly harmonious, they practical
ly agreeing upon all the questions consid
ered, they have not yet proceeded beyond
the most elementary subjects. The ques
tion of indemnity, for instance, was not
even discussed. It Is of such magnitude
that they seemingly are desirous of put
ting off Jts consideration as longas pos
sible, and the negotiations are likely to be
greatly protracted before 'anything will
be ready to present to the Chinese pleni
potentiaries. The present desires of the
Ministers is, first, to contract a prelim
inary treaty, acknowledging a few prin
ciples, such as Indemnities and security
for the future of the lives and property
of foreigners, leaving the other questions
to be negotiated separately by each
power.
There is every probability that the ne
gotiations will last for years. The best-
informed persons do not believe the Chi
nese court will return to the capital while
any foreign troops remain in Pekln.

is so rare in history as to be practically
unknown. Wo have "set Cuba free and
given her a place among the two or three

the righteous purpose miscarried some

creditable record In China through the
sound-headedness of our Administration.
"What yellow peril Is threatening the
world today we do not know, but we can
say that this Government has done noth

But these pestiferous Republicans have
been trying to give it the measles, and I
am afraid we will never be able to raise
It now. We have a President who was
criticised up and down and found fault
with for four years, and now we have
re-elected him, and with votes to spare to

"Now I am back from my exile, young

of hls people would be:
"Under any conditions involving a with
holding of independence,, the Filipinos will
continue to fight in defense." ,
"What will induce the Filipinos to stop
fighting?"' he was asked.
"First thti granting of Independence,"
he replied. "Second, a definite promise of
Independence; third, a declaration of $oU
ley by the' Administration, placing the
(Philippines in a similar position to Cuba.
Any one of these would" result In an Im
mediate cessation of hostilities, and every
thing, including foreign obligations, pro
tection of life and property, coaling sta

arranged by friendly negotiation."
Senor Lopez refused to discuss the tc

asked If he cared to say anything In

said:
"I am glad of the opportunity to state
that while in this country I have not had

FRENCH HATRED OF ENGLAND

Bngland has a fresh grievance against
the French. It Is the suppressipn'by
French Government of the nejr edition of
M. Marechal's text-books on history
The books teem with malicious flings at
Great Britain, especially as concern her
t policies and campaigns in Asia, Where
the British and French interests have
clashed. The suppression was 'due to a
Protest from Enrlish educator's, and it

ness but for the fact that the, bfioks of
Emtio Augon have been substitutes. The
latter author is even more prejudiced
4salnst this country than Marech&l and
his books are shamefully biased, says a
foreign correspondent.
Marechal's book teems with "recoras"
of British brutality in India. Burraah,
we read, was annexed because franco
had concluded a treaty of commerce with
her .King. "The English committed hor
rible cruelties there," says M. Marcchal,
though he has no condemnation for The

of human beings.
"The British ruje does noC appear firm

that ths education which they rceive

other gem. ,
An account of the dealings qf England
with Portugal in Southeastern Africa
may be summed up in the words, "Might
is right" The French author pays not
the smallest attention to the strong
claims which Britain utfdoubtedly pos
sessed to the countrj, which had been
paelfied and civilized- by the Afrloan
Lakes Company. But to give England
fair play Is nqt his idea of the game of
