C., July 25.—Im- portant changes are to be authorized in the construction of the battleship Missouri and her sister ships, the Maine and the Ohio. The thickness of the armor belt is to be decreased so that the weight reduction will be at least 200 tons per ship. This is to be accomplish- ed without in any way impairing the effectiveness and destructive powers of the three battleships. It is claim- jed that recent inventions in armor plate make it unnecessary to havea protective armer belt sixteen inches thick, but that on the contrary it may be decreased probably one half, leaving the ship a more terrible war craft than before. The Missouri will be launched late this fall if present plans of construction are not inter- fered with. none of its legal standing in this country, and all that is needed to restore prosperity among the people is to place a man in the President's chair who will open the mints freely to the coinage of both gold and sil- ver, as the law requires.
