South Washington Liquor Deslere Organize —Pavoring the Meredith Bill, Last evening a meeting of the South Wash- ington Liquor Dealers’ Association was held at J. J. Goodwin's sutoon, No. 423 434 street sou west. Mr. William A. Hickey, chairman of the committee on organization, presided. The avsociation was formed some time ago and was duly incorporated. In the circular inviting the South Washington dealers fo attend it was stated: “The new association does not in any way conflict with the Liquor Dealers’ Association for along time in existence, but does pro- one to antagonize ary and all attempts to very largely inerenwe the liquor license tax. You are well aware that our trade is not uptown trade, and while others may be benefited by the high license, it seems very evident that such a license | would practicaily wipe out nearly all the South Washington dealers. Come and co-operate with us.” ‘The object of the associntion, as stated in the articles of incorpo mn, is to devise wars and will go all traneportation and other necessary Tangements will be made, and as soon asa suitable date can be fixed the regiment will be ordered into camp at Chicago; that will give departmental employes their time. An exti- mate of the expense would hardly be possible at thiv stage, but it is believed that the cost per man—to be paid by each individual—would not exceed #15, A cheaper combination of holiday n will not be found.

The Four Million Doilar Vessel to Be Known as the Towa, A CRAFT DESIGNED BY THE NAVY DEPARTMENT— ITS DIMENSIONS COMPARED WITH THE INDIANA A PLAN THAT THE DEPARTMENT THINKS WILL PRODUCE A MOST EFFICIENT VESSEL. Under the appropriation for the ‘increase of the navy," act approved July 19, 1892, pro- vision it made for “One ren-going battle ship of bout 9,000 tons displacement to cost, exclusive f armament and apeed premiums, not more than $4,000,000." This much was provided by Congress, but to Secretary Tracy, assisted by Chiet Constructor T. D. Wilson and Engineer-in-Chief George W. Melville, was left the burden of the work in- cidental to evolving a craft to meet the require- ments of Congrest and yet within the moneiary limit fixed by legislation. ‘Ihe result of their labors is the «ubject of the above illustration, BIOGER THAN THE INDIANA. Comparing the Iowa and the Indiana (a ship now building under an appropriated allowance similar to that provided for the lowa) the dif- ference between their dimensions may be ap- preciated by the accompanying measurements: Leneth on load wi Breadth, extrem Disrlacement (nor:ve draushty.

The ship's battery is to consist of the follow- ing: Four 12-inch breech-losding rifles, eight S-inch breech-loading rifles, six 4-inch breech- loading rifles, twenty 6-pouuders, four 1- pounders, fo Gatlings, one field gun. ‘The 12-incl. ,:a8 are’ to be mouuted in two barbette turrets, placed oue forward and one afion the center line of the veesel, and each turret carrying two guns, The axesof the guns in the forward turret, when the pieces are hori- zontul, are to be twenty-five feet above the load water line und at least six feet above the deck. The axes of the guns in the after turret to be at leant eeventecn feet eight inches above the load water line, ‘The guns of each turret to be capable of firing Uhrough an arc of 270 degrees. The 8-inch guns are to be mounted in four barbette turrets, placed two on either broad- vide of the vessel. ‘The axes of the guns, when the pieces are horizontal, to be about 25 feet above the load water line, aud the guns in each turret to be capable of being fired through an are of 170 degrees. ‘The two forward 8-inch turrets to be capable of being turned so as toaliow the guns to be fired at an angle of about 5 degrees across the bow, the guns in the two after turrets to be capable of being fired the same number of de- grees acros the stern. ‘The 4-inch guns are to be mounted as follows: Two in armored sponsons on the gun deck, capabie of being fired through an arc of 140 and at an angle of 5 degrees across the bow: two in armored sponsons on gun deck amidships, between the supporting framing of the8-inch turrets.
