connected with the Bureau of Construction or the Bureau of Steam Engineering received a leave of absence. On Oct. 1, exactly three months after the ships were authorized, the bids for constructing them were opened. The Cramps were awarded the contraction of the Indiana and Massachusetts and the Oregon was given to the Union iron works of San Francisco. The Indiana is the eighth war ship that tho Cramps have launched; and is the largest ever cent from their ways. Up to this time tho Now York, with a tonnage of 8,000. was the largest. The Indiana, the most formidable of the vessels bnilt or building for the new American navy, xs a warship of which any nation might be proud, and is a triumph for American ehipdesicners, shipbuilders, and, it is honed, ot American marine enginebuilders. Of course, so far as her engines are concerned, their power and eiliciency will not bo ascertained lor a considerable time, but the contracts call lor high power and good speed. The keel of the Indiana was laid on May 7, 18rJl. she being the first of the three vessels authorized by the act of Congress. Tho Indiana is a steel coast-line battle ship, having a length of SJ8 feet on the load water line, an extreme breadth of 0'i and a mean draught of 21, while her displacement is 10,200 tons. The advance made in this respect is visible on noting that the displacement of tho Texas is C,.'OJ and that of the Maine G.G1S. She is designed for sea service in all weathers, while her draught is suited to work in our hallow harbors. HER ARMOR PROTECTION. As described by Chief Constructor Wilson, the hull is protected by belts of heavy armor 7 feet wide, tnrned in forward and aft to sweep around the bases of the armored redoubts, the whole including about 75 per cent, of the water plane area. Forward and abaft this belt are heavy underwater protective decks, sloping at the sides to 4H feet below the water. There is also an armored deck over the belt. Coal bunkers are worked over the belt deck, and belts of water-excluding material are worked on the elopes of the armor aeck forward and aft. . Above the belt armor and extending from redoubt to redoubt the side is protected by five inches of steel. There U a water-line belt, 3 feet above and 4Vz feet below the water line, of 18-inch armor. Kising from this, at each end, are armored redoubts of 17 inches in thickness, extending above the main deck3H feet, giving an armored freeboard of 15 feet 2 inches. These redoubts protect tho turning gear of the turrets and all the operations of loading. The turrets are inclined. 17 inches thicfc and powerfully strengthened. The horizontal thickness of the turrets is 20 inches. The side-armor belt is backed by 6 inches of wood, two n4-iuch plates and a 10-foot belt of coal. The vessel above the belt has 5 inches of armor protection. Theb-inch guns have barbettes of 10 inches, inclined turrets of bt inches and cone bases and loading tubes of 3 Inches. The C-inch pans are protected by 5 inches of armor, and have 2-inch splinter bulkheads worked around the deck, inside of which the ammunition of three guns is set np. The C-pounders, when mounted between decks, have 2-inch armor worked around them; elsewhere they have tho usual service shields. The 1-nounders are protected by 2 inches of steel. The deck over the belt is 2'i inches, and, at the ends, the underwater decks are 3 inches. These decks are made up of two thicknesses of Vi-inch mild steel plates, with the remaining thickness all in one plate of steel armor. There is a 10-inch armored conning tower, with a 7-inch tube for protecting the voice-pipes, electric wiro and steering connections. Tho armament consists of four 13-inch 5calibft) breech-loading riUo3. eight 8-inch breeeh-loading rilles, four 6-inch breechloading nlles, twenty C-pnunder rapid-tire guns, six 1-pounder rapid-lire guns, two Gatlinas and six torpedo tubes or guns. This ropre-enta a weight of armament superior to that of any of the latest battle ships laid down by foreign powers. The 18-inch guns are 17rt feet abovo the water, and have great arcs Af tram. The C-inch guns are 14 feet 10 inches above the water, and all hro across the center line. The 8-inch guns are mounted 244 feet above the water, and can fire over the tops of the 13-inch guns, having a train of 11 degrees across the middle line. These guns can pierce at two miles tho armor of many of the modern armored cruisers of great coal endurance. They can be brought into action earlier in the engagement on account of their great height, and can be used with great eilect against the lighter armored and unarmored parts of the heavier battle ihips. Special attention has been paid to the ammunition supply, and a rapid, eilicient ad thoroughly protected supply has been secured. TIIK INDIANA'S STRONO POINTS. It will be seen from the foregoing words of tho chief constructor that inthelndiana and her mates the features of battery power and armor protection have been greatly emnbzed. A fighting ship, as has often been said, is necessarily a com promise among several desired qualities,, none of which can he carried to their highest point. Accordingly the stress laid on guns and power in the Indiana has caused some diminntion in two orther points, speed and radius of action. Her engines, which, as usual, are of the twinscrew, vertical, triple-expansion type, are to develop 9.000 horse power, and are to give her a speed of 1(12 knots at the maximum, atid an average or sustained sea fcpeed of 15 knots. In tho Iowa, tho fonrth battle ship, of nearly 1,000 tons greater displacement, the speed anu coal carrying capacity have been increased, and consequently we lind not so thick armor or so heavy a battery as in tho Indiana. The Iowa, in fact, is the first vessel of anew clus9, that of the pea-going as distinguished from the coast-line battle ships. The complement of tho vessel, officers and crew, will be 4C0 persons. Good quarters and accommodations are provided for them and all the latent sanitary improvements will bo placed on the battleship. The Indiana is designed especially as a vessel to lichr. and not to run away at all. And it is tho opinion of those acquainted with marine atlairs that she will answer fully the purpose for which she was built. Her cost is 83,020,01 -0.x The Indiana can lay alongside of any vessel that could reach our shores and give and take fair battle in tha style exhibited by the American navy in thetimo of Taul Jones and Decatur. There are six powerful search lights ar ranged along the sides to locate the enemy at night and to guard against small boat attacks under cover of darkness. The complement of twelve boat and one balsa aro stowed well above the flash of the guns, and are handled by means of powerful cranes. Tho vessel is also provided with a complete iacasement of torpedo netting. Of the Indiana and her mates Secretary Tracy said, in his rerort for 1S90, that "in these battle ships the department confidently asserts that the United States will become possessed of three vessels of the hihest power, whose equal as righting Bliips does not exist at the present day." Since those words were written the defensive etiectiveness of'these vessels has been greatly increased by the application of the Harvey process to the armor to be used in their construction.

OPPOSED TO BIMETALLISM

Gladstone Speaks for a Gold Standard, and Parliament Stands By Ilim. Delate in the Commons That Shows Plainly England Will Not Change Her Monetary Byotem Flood Disaster in Hungary. GLADSTONE A MON03ICTALLIST. England's Premier Warns the Commons of the Dangers of liluietalllsm. London, Feb. 23. Sir Henry MeyseyThompson moved in tho House of Commons to-day that tho British government should uso its intluence to bring about a reassembling of the international monetary conference, with tho object of finding a remsdyfor tho ovi)? attendant upon tho divergence of valujs between gold and silver. Hir Henry, who is a director in several railways and is recognized as a respectable authority on trade questions, argued that monometallism was a national misfortune, and that a .fixed bimetallio ratio was the sole remedy for existing difficulties growing out of the currency problem. Other bimetallists also addressed the House in behalf of the proposition. Mr. Gladstone, in reply, reminded the House that the international monetary conference met at the initiative of the United States, and it would bean unprecedented proceeding now to depriveAmerica of the initiative. England had followed the Brussels discussion with more or less sympathy and had a right to expect from tho United States a declaration as to what step that country proposed to take next. In the opinion of the government no plan yet proposed showed how it was possible to change the atandard of value in Great Britain ("Hear, hear' It wonld place the government in a ridiculous position if it should assume the initiative in re-opening the conference, having nothing to recommend for discussion. Mr. Gladstone said that England was not alone among civilized nations in her determination to adhere to her present monetary system. Seven other i towers, without the slightest reference to England, had signified their intention not to change their currency. Half of the powers represented at the conference bad shown that they leaned toward bimetallism, bat as yet they bad not given the most shadowy indication of what chango they were prepared to make. In conclusion. Mr. Gladstone made an elaborate exposition of the benefits of monometallism and the dangers of bimetallism. Mr. Chaplin. President of the Board of Agricultureunder the last Salisbury administration, supported the motion of Sir Henrv Meysey-Thorapson. At the Brussels conference, he said, Bertram Currie, the British delegate, persistently and deliberately did everything in his power to dofeat the objects of the meetings. Sir William Vernon llarcourt. Chancellor of the Exchequer, repudiated Mr. Chaoin's charge against Mr. Currie. Tho British delegates, be said, had been almost the only ones to support the American resolution in favor of extending the use of silver. From first to last bimetallism had been at the bottom of tbe conference, as it was at tho bottom of the present debate. The failureot tne conferencehadbeen duo tothe absence of all deiinito proposals. If tho United States should reconvene the conference and submit definite proposals tho British government would be happy to pend back their delegates, but could not be expected to provide a soheme for the more extensivo use of silver. He pointed to the returns of tho moome tax and death duties to prove the crowth of the country's wealth. He contended that the agricultural depression, which wan largely responsible for tbe . bimetallistio agitation, was only temporary. The motion before the House, he said, was intended to raise prices, an operation which the government could not undertake, as it was outside its province. Mr. Balfour, leader of the Unionist opposition, denied that he or any of his colleagues desired a monetary system which would raise prices. The motion was not in tavor of bimetallism. The fact was that the government bad decided to do nothing to remedy the present evils, evident both in trade and agriculture. Sir Henry Meysey-Thomcson's motion eventnally was rejected by a vote of 228 to US. The announcement of tbe vote was received with loud Liberal cheers. MANY HUNGARIANS DUOWNED, Mad Hut ViUag-A Swept Away by the Swollen Waters of the IfWer Danube. Vienna, Feb. A terrible calamity has overtaken the village of Gergly, near tho jown of Baits, in Hungary, situated on the river Danube, about sixty miles south of Bnda. Owing to a sadden rise of tiie Danube tbe sixteen hundred inhabitants of Gergly found the mud huts in which they lived surrounded by water. The people took refuge in the church and schools, which were constructed of stronger materials, hoping that these buildings would be able to hold out against the flood. Mothers and children clung to the altar, beseeching the intercession of the saints. The mud huts were soon swept away, and the swelling waters began to beat against the church and school ouildiug with such force that at last the people decided that to remain would mean the destruction of all of thcm.whileif they lied some of them, at least, might escape. Opening the doors they started out into the Hood which surged nearly to tho waists of the grown people. Fathers and mothers carried their children and tho sick and feeble were helped along by thoso who were stronger. They lied as last as they could in thodirection of l'aks. One mother with live children sunk iu the waters and perished. Many others, tho number of whom is yet unknown, were drowned in tho Uoo'.l aud tho survivors reached l'aks in a most deplorable condition. Tho peopleof l'aks gave the fugitives all the help possible, although deeply concerned for their own safety, as the. Danube is twenty feet above normal. There is no doubt that the number of dead is very large. ritESENTKD TO TUE QUEEN. American Women and the Dreaes They Wore at Victoria's Drawtnc-Itoom. London, Feb. iJS.

Indiana Marble. Huntington Herald. Although little has been said for some months regarding tbe find of marble in this county, the gentlemen interested are by no means idle. For several weeks Dr. Williams has been operating with a halfdozen men in the ledges northwest of Andrews, and has now opened a ledge of mottled maible sixteen feet thick. The bed is fine on every side and the marble is first class in every respect.
