A “Subway” in the Hold Ail That
Is Now Needed.
New York, Nov. 26.—1f same inven
tive genius would but build a subway
bo fit in tbe hold of a big transatlan
tic steamship, passengers could then
go to sea with the assurance that
they would find every convenience
offered in the most advanced cities.
With the growth of ocean travel
steamship owners have found it neces
sary to build their vessels more and
more on the plan of modern hotels.
It has been left t<s the Hamburg-
Americ&n Liine to work out the princi
ple of passenger elevators, an idea
which has presented itself to steamship
builders time and again, but which
has been abandoned so often as un
praotlcable. The vessels In which the
newly developed idea is to be found,
will be the America, now building at
the Vulcan Works. Stettin, and the
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria, building at

the Harland & Wolff yards, Belfast.
The former ship will be ready for serv
ice In August, 1905, and the latter in
1906.
Everything for .Speed.
In former plans for “ships” the sug
gestion was omitted, because, it wan
argued, the length of the ship would
not allow of it. By this was meant
that to make speed, which some lines
thought was far more necessary to
modern ship than stability, vessels
were so built that they did not take
kindly to rough seas; that with a roll
ing sea a vessel’s level was constantly
being changed, making it impossible
to work an elevator with safety.
The time has now come, however,
when steamship companies realize that
the old idea that speed is the essential
point Is wrong. The desire of the
steamship companies to build slower
ships is even greater than the desire
of people to travel on them. Fast
ships mean much coal. In one of the
big greyhounds the engine space is so
great that no room is allowed for
cargo.
Eight-Deck Ships.
In the two new ships of the Ham
burg-American line there will be eight
decks, five of which will be occupied
by first cabin passengers. This means
that a passenger who is quartered on
the fifth deck below the sky In order
to reach the sun deck will have to
mount a distance greater than the
hight of a five-story building.
The contract for supplying the ele
[vators and the accompanying ma
chinery has not yet been awarded,
but rumor has it that as likely as not
an American firm will get it. In Ger
many it has been noted that Ameri
can designs of elevators are quite
popular, and It may be that they will

ships with other American inventions.
They will, however, be electric lifts,
and will be controlled by dynamos, the

toe bailers which will generate
steam to propel the vessels.
To Hnn from Deck to Deck.
The shaft through which the cars
will run will be located beside the
grand stairway amidships. The decks
to be reached by the lift will be at the
boat deck, the promenade deck, the
upper deck, the main deck and the
lower deck.
On the boat deck the door to the
shaft will open on to a rathskellar. On
the deck below the promenade deck it
will find the music rooms very handy.
The entrance on the upper deck will
be in a corridor running both athwart
ship and fore and aft, and very con
venient to the many staterooms on
this deck. The main deck, the next
below, will contain the grand dining
saloon, adjoining which the shaft will
run. On the lower deck, at which the
shaft will end. the entrance will be
from the grill room.
In fact, the ship will be so arranged
with reference to the elevator that one
tnay pass from his stateroom to any
other part of the ship t much as he
would from floor to floor in a hotel.

The Demand for More Officer*.
Washington, Nov. 26. —With Secre
tary Morton asking Congress to give
the navy $114,530,638.34 for its expenses
in the fiscal year begining July 1, 1905,
it Is apparent that the fleet that costs
$100,000,000 a year has come to stay.
This vast expenditure means that
the policy of naval expansion will go
on until the American navy Is second
only to that of England in size, and
will remain, as now. second to none
in ship t(f ship efficiency. When all
the American warships now building
are completed the navy will be the
third largest in the world. England
and France will be first and second.
Began Year* Ago to Ilnlld Cp Navy.
The sentiment which caused the up
building of the pavy was awakened
twenty years ago, when naval ex
penditures were small. Only $14,819,-
976.80 was appropriated by Congress in
1883. The cost gradually increased un
til 1898, when, with the Spanish-Amer
ican War. in sight, it aggregated $33,-
003,234.19. The expenditures in 1899
jumped to $56,098,783, and since then by
leaps and bounds they have increased
as ship after ship has been added to.
the list.
The navy by Jan. 1, 1906, upon which
the brunt of service will fall in event
of war will be: Batteships, 13; armor
ed cruisers, 8; protected cruisers, 21;
torpedo boat destroyers, 16; torpedo
boats, 35. Not all of these ships are
now in commission. The most nota
ble additions will be the armored cruis
ers Colorado, Pennsylvania, West Vir
ginia and South Dakota. No armored
cruisers have been added to the fleet
since the Brooklyn and the New York
were put in commission, more than
ten years ago.
A Battleship’s F*lr*t Cost.
When a battleship is paid for it has
only begun to eat up money. New
ships mean more men, more officers
and larger naval stations where the
ships may be dry docked and repaired.
There must be a larger clerioal force in
the Navy Department. The purchase
of supplies must increase. A battle
ship has an insatiable maw for coal.
Fuel must be carried miles across the
seas in great colliers, if it cannot be
had in plentiful supply attd satisfac
tory quality abroad.
Congress has usually been generous
in authorizing new battleships and has
readily increased the number of blue
jackets to man them. The enlisted
personnel in 1885 was 8,250; in 1898, 13,-
750; in 1899, 20,000; in 1901, 25,050; in
1903, 41.000, and in 1904, 34.000.
Provisions for more officers was made
two years ago by doubling the repre
sentation of the country at large in
the Naval Academy. Twice as many
midshipmen will now study there and
be graduated to receive commissions.
All this costs more money. The estab-;
lishment of large and well equipped
naval stations at Guantanamo. Cuba,
and at Olongapo, P. 1., also swells the
financial requirements of the service.
THE GRAND DUKE OF HESSE.
Darmstadt, Germany, Nov. 25.—The
betrothal ia officially announced of the
Grand Duke of Hesse, who was di
vorced from his cousin. Princess Vic
toria of Saxe-Coburg, in 1901, to the
Princess Eleanor of Solms-Hohen

FAIRLY CLEARO’F
DISHONEST PRACTICES.
The President's Opinion of the I'oat
otltce Deportment.
Washington, Nov. 26.—The officials
of the office of the second assistant
postmaster general have received * a
vindication in the matter of award of
railway mail contracts. No illegal col
lusion has been found between any
government official and the railway
managers, but that aq, a result of this
inquiry, to effect changes in the meth
od of awarding these contracts. There
is a well grounded opinion among" ad
ministration officials investigating the
question that the system of competi
tive bids should be introduced so far
as possible.
President Roosevelt and Postmaster
General Wynne now 'believe that the
Postoffloe Department is fairly clear of
dishonest practices, and that the way
is open for administrative reforms.
The offices of the first, second and
third assistants have all been investi
gated. There remains the fourth as
sistant's office, against which there
have been no charges, but .which will
be investigated If Mr. Wynne carries
out his Intention of transferring to his
own office the force of postoffice In
spectors.
The Investigation of the second as
sistant’s office, so far as it has to do
with the transportation of malls, has
been going on In secret for several
months and was ordered by the Presi
dent before Postmaster General
Payne's death.

INNOVATION IN
“CABINET DINNERS.”
President and Mrs. Roosevelt Ee
tnhllsh a New Precedent.
■Washington, Nov. 26.—President and
Mrs. Roosevelt evident desire more
variety In the season's round of “Cab
inet dinners.” The cabinet officers
have been Informed by the President
that thev are not expected to confine
Invitations for dinners in honor of the
President and Mrs. Roosevelt to the
Cabinet circle alone. They may se
lect their guests from society, general
ly. The guest list will, as usual, be
sent to the President and Mrs. Roose
velt for approval.
The matter of precedence of cabinet
dinners will be cast to the winds. Here
tofore the Secretary of the Treasury
would not give his dinner for the Pres
ident and Mrs. Roosevelt until after
that of the Secretary of Btate had been
held and the Secretary of Commerce
and Labor was always the last to en
tertain the President. Hereafter these
dinners will be held In such order as
best suits the convenience of all mem
bers of the cabinet.
The old custom of limiting Invitations
to the cabinet circle brought the Pres
ident face to face with nine dinner
parties with the same people each sea
son. To fill up vacancies the list was
made to Include a few persons outside
the cabinet circle, but this was not
sufficient to give much variety.
AT THE THRESHOLD OF A
NEW INDUSTRIAL ERA.
Is the Satloual Civic rMsrstlss
Devisee* of the Cssstrr,
New York, Nov. At the fourth
annual meeting of the luxecutlve Com
mi Use of the National Civic Federa
tion In this city, on Doe. 11, a presi
dent will be selected to fill the vacancy
caused by the death of Senator Han
na. -
The Executive Committee will hold
two business sessions, In the morning
and afternoon, and In the evening will
entertain at Its annual dinner the mem
bers of all the departments of the' or
ganization. Among the speakers at
the dinner will be Andrew Carnegie,
Archbishop Ireland, Bishop Potter,
August Belmont, Cornelius N. Bliss,
Oscar S. Straus, John Mitchell, Sam
uel Gompers and E. E. Clark.
Anew department In Industrial eco
nomics will be organized, and at reg
ular monthly dinners discuss strikes
and lockouts and their remedies. An
International committee will be named
to form an International Civic Federa
tion.
The call to the members of the Exe
cutive Committee says the country Is
at the threshold of anew era of In
dustrial activity. It deplores the "or
ganizations of caplt'al, whose aim Is to
‘smash the unions.’ ”
Of socialism it says: "Another foe
simultaneously assails labor. That foe
Is socialism. Although socialism is
the avowed foe of caplt’al, It regards
as an aid to its cause the radical type
of employers’ organizations, because
of their common hatred of unionism.
Before socialism cun deliver its ‘assault
upon all capital It must remove from
Its way the self-improving organiza
tion of the wage earners."
