They will probably be used as scouts for the fleet at the isthmus. And in this connection,” the captain sald, with a gratified eye twin- kle, “I am pleased to announce that they are not likely to be utilized for police service, because thelr length, 250 feet, would make them rather difficult If they engage in any warlike work at all it will be the real give-and-take thing that the sail- orman Joves as much as he dislikes pa- trol duty.” Captain Fenton’s pride in his craft and its two sisters is certainly expli- cable to any one who inspects the boats. They are all of the same di- mensions. horsepower and armament. Each is 250 feet in length, 231 feet beam, 10 feet draught, 700 tons dis- placement and has 9000 horsepower, or two-thirdg as much as the big battle- s 1 n. To accommodate the coal bunkers, boilers and engines nec- essary to generate this tremendots pro- pulsive force the Preble, for example, has very little room for anything else . & ?

Change of Dynasty Was Brought About by a Crime gl s el PROMISES FIRM iR ki Speech at Reception of Austro- Hungarian Delegation Is Felicitous and Encouraging A POLICY VIENNA, Dec. 16.—Emperor Francis Joseph to-day Treceived the Austro- Hungarian delegation. The speech from the throne was chiefly notable for its stronger affirmation of the Emperor’s the drel- bund. “By a renewal of the triple alliance,” he said, “this well-proved basis of our policy, which we have determined to maintain henceforth, has been consoli- dated for the future.” The speech referred to the death of Pope Leo, to the gratifying foreign re- lations of the dual monarchy and to the close harmony between Austria and Russia in regard to the Balkans with the object of “maintaining peace and the status quo in those regions, in which we are receiving the energetic support of the other great powers.” The Emperor said Austria and Rus- sia had no selfish motives in the Bal- kans, and only have in view the estab- lishment of peace in the interest of the whole of Europe, to which end Austria- Hungary was endeavoring to induce Turkey to improve the position of the Christians and to restrain Bulgaria from encouraging revolt. After mentioning the visit of “my dear ally,” the German Emperor, the Czar of Russia and the King of Eng- land, which gave the desired opportu- nity for a personal exchange of views in regard to the Balkans and all other at questions present engaging the chancellories, the speech continued: “In Servia a change of dynasty has been brought about by a crime which must fill every civilized being with hor- ror. It is to be hopéd that this coun- try under its new rule may be directed toward its moral regeneration and a prosperous future.” The speech concluded with saying| that the War Office appropriation would be the same as last year, and that it only asks for money to secure new quick-firing guns, the work to be commenced in 1904. ——————— Cresta Blanca Wines.

President Greele said it would be impossible to tell definitely until to- morrow whether there is a still greater shortage. —————— Great arrangements are being made for the entertainment of visitors to the St. Louis Exposition; lot of electric launches, such so popular at the Chicago fair. s range of San Francisco Gas and Electric Co., 415 Post, money for a trip to the fair. @ it il @ below deck.

When the weather permits the men can sit at a table on deck and eat their meals, but when wind and sea keep the deck awash Jack must stand up to dine. The officers’ rooms are the coziest cubby holes imaginable. In addition to her two torpedo tubes, fully loaded and with a couple of ex- tra projectiles at hand, the Preble car- ries two S-inch 50-caliber guns of the very mewest type and five semi-auto- matic 6-pounders. The big guns hurl thirteen pounds of steel five miles and can be fired at the rate of ten shots a minute, while twenty shcts a minute can be projected from the smaller weapons. Apropos the Preble's crew, recently transhipped from the Perry, has the world's record for target prac- tice by torpedo-boat destroyers.

BERTILLION NOW HAS A NEW SYSTEM Famous Criminologist Has Adopted a Method of Studying the Physi- ognomy in Fonr Features. PARIS, Dec. 16.—M. Bertillion, the expert criminologist, has organized a new system for the detection of erim- inals. Heretofore photographs have been employed solely in the search for malefactors. Detectives will now be taught to search the physiognomy for three or four striking features,'each of which has a mathematical value. Pho- tographs, ments taken under this new system. will, it is claimed, make it practically impossible for well-instructed detec- tives to make any mistake in the cla sification oy detection of criminals.

MISS CORELLI WINS AND GETS ONE CENT English Court Awards the Fair Nov- elist Damages in Suit Against a Newspaper. BIRMINGHAM, England, Dec. 16.— Marie Corelli, the novelist, was to-day awarded a halfpenny damages, each side to pay its own costs, in a libel suit brought by her against the proprietor of the Stratford-on-Avon Herald in connection with the recent controversy in which Miss Corelli opposed the erec- tion of a Carnegie library on the ground that it involved a desecration of Shakespeare's birthplace. The al- leged libel consisted in a statement that Miss Corelli desired to erect a library at the same place. The case attracted much attention, and the court was crowded, many fash- ionable people being present. Miss Corelli testified in her own behalf for two hours, an” emphatically denied that she wanted to erect a library. ————————— It is time to express Townsend's Glace B Fruits East for Christmas now. ——————— ‘WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.—The Committee on Claims of the Senate to-day reported favor- ably 4 bill reimbursing a number of pension- ers who expended moneys and gave services and supplies in repelling Indian hostilities with- in the Territorfal limits of the present State of Nevada. SAYS ENGLAND WILL LOSE SOUTH AFRICA Andrew Carmegie Makes a Startling Prediction in Address Before Armstrong Association. NEW YORK, Dec. 16.—At a meeting here to-day of the Armstrong Associa- tion Andrew Carnegie surprised his hearers by asserting that he believed Great Britain would surely some day lose South Afrfca. He said: “It is about as certain as we are liv- ing that Great Britain will lose South Africa, because the Dutch population there is increasing, while the British are not. The Kaffirs won’t work. What would Great Britain give for 9,000,000 negroes as peaceable and as loving as those in this country? These men give us about 11,000,008 bales of cotton every year, and this I contend heips make the United States the most powerful nation in the world. Suppose a fleet of British warships should attack us. The President, as commander in chief of the army and navy, need only raise his hand and say, stop exporting cottom, and the war would be won. “My knowledge of the question leads me to the opinion that no politicai measure can ever save or benefit the negro.
