VOI,. XXVI NO. 106. —■" .J " . (~ x TWIN-SCREW STEAMER "MINNESOTA." BUILT BY U. S. SHIPBUILDING COMPANY AT ITS NEW LONDON PLANT FOR THE GREAT NORTHERN STEAMSHIP COMPANY. Special to The Globe. NEW LONDON, Conn., April 14.— The Minnesota will be launched to morrow at the New London plant of the United States Shipbuilding com pany. No vessel approaching the Min nesota in size has ever been built in the United States and only two abroad, the Celtic and Cedric. Miss Hill, daughter of James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern Steamship com pany, will name the vessel. The Minne eota and her sister ship now being built at the New London yards are designed for passenger and freight traffic on the Pacific ocean. The build ing of this great passenger vessel in augurates a new era in American ship yards, where hitherto the largest ships have been vessels of war. Great Vessel Described. The Minnesota is of the Intermedi ate cargo and passenger type, and built under Lloyd's survey. She is 630 feet long, 73 feet 6 inches wide, 56 feet high to upper deck, SS feet high to captain's bridge, 177 feet high to top of mast, is rigged as a four-masted schooner, with pole masts, and lias live continuous decks, named as follows: Orlop, lower, tween, main and upper, all plated with steel. The four decks which are not continuous are the forecastle, prome nade, bridge and boat decks, and on top of all comes the captain's or navi gation bridge, making nine decks in all. The stem, stern post, rudder and struts for shafts are of cast steel. The vessel is divided transversely Into thirteen watertight compartments"; the engine and boiler rooms being di vided longitudinally by a watertight bulkhead makes four watertight ma chinery compartments. The double bot tom is six feet deep, and extends across the whole bottom of the vessel. This space can hold about 4,000 tons of water ballast whenever required, and is divided Into twenty-eight water tight compartments. In addition to above, water tanks are located in the tween deck, one on each side of cen ter; two of these tanks are fitted for ward of machinery and two abaft, and contain in all over 1,000 tons of water. Altogether this hull is divided into forty-six watertight compartments. The Piping. All piping for pumping the various compartments is led through a central watertight tunnel, which is at all times accessible from engine room, and nieitns of escape from same is provid ed at fore end. Piping- to compart ments, abaft engine room, is led through the shaft alleys. An emer gency drain is fitted so that if any compartment is disabled the water can be taken care of by the pumps at a rate of 25,000 gallons per minute; this is equal to the quantity of water which would flow through a hole in side of ship seventeen square feet in area. The space occupied by machinery is the smallest practicable, so that space for cargo may be as large as possible. The total cargo capacity is about 30, --000 tons; the. holds are arranged so that longest rail irons may be stowed. A longitudinal bulkhead is fitted the whole length of ship; this divides each hold into two separate compartments, and therefore the hatches are fitted in pairs one to each hold. Some of the hat( lies are so large that bulky freight, BUch as a locomotive or freight car, or large marine or land boiler, can be lowered right down into the hold. Every hatch can be loaded or discharg ed simultaneously if desired. The cargo handling device on this vessel is very complete and designed so as to cut down number of men to a minimum. Two winches and two booms are fitted to handle cargo at each hatch. The booms, thirty-four in num ber, are built of steel. Two heavy booms are fitted to life weights from thirty to fifty tons. The winches for cargo handling are thirty-four in num ber, all electrically operated. Meat and Ice. One hold in the ship is devoted to carrying frozen meat, and is completely insulated; its capacity being about 2,500 tons. An ice-making tank is fitted and cool water is supplied to drinking fountains throughout the ship. The arrangement of coal bunkers is a novel feature on this ship, and, like'the construction of the center longitudinal bulkhead and girders, is a departure which, as far as we know, the Eastern Shipbulidng company have been the first to make in an ocean vessel. The bunkers are-located above the boilers; the ends of the bunkers are sloped in such a manner that the bulk of the coal will gravitate through chutes and be deposited on the firing platform. The capacity of permanent bunker is over 4,000 ton.s, and a reserve bunker is fitted continguous to the boiler room having a capacity for about 2,000 tons of coal. . The anchors and chains are very heavy. The heaviest anchor weighs about eight tons; the lightest about two tons. The weight of the cable is over eighty tons, and the whole equip ment, anchors, cable and wire weigh about 130 tons. The anchors are stock less. Both anchors and chains are the heaviest ever made. Forty-Ton Rudder. The immense steel rudder on this ship weighs over forty tons, and its weight is carried by roller bearings on upper deck. The pintles are portable and brass lined, and can be renewed at any time without disturbing the Jud der. The steering gear is very strong and can be driven by either steam or electricity. A complete installation of electric ifm v """"nsed. there being about 1,300 lights on board, and a powerful searchlight is fitted on forward lookout There are seventy-two mottor-driverl blowing- and exhausting fans for venti lating purposes. The temperature of rooms and hallways is maintained by heated or cooled air, and the first cabin staterooms will have electric heaters co that passengers may have more or less heat at will. The port, starboard and masthead lights are electric, and a tell-tale is fitted in charthouse -which indicates if lights are burning or not. An indicator also shows at what angle rudder i.« THE ST. PAUL GLOBE. Largest American -"Bvar - 6h ip Afloat standing. Telegraphs are fitted from bridge to engine room, and warping and anchor telegraphs are located on deck forward and aft. P'or signaling in fog an electrically controlled steam whistle is fitted, which is automatically sounded at the desired interval of time by a clock control. Dynamos and Engines. The generating plant consists of sev enty-five K. W. dynamos and engines capable of developing 50 degrees over load for a period of four hours. Two galleys are fitted in the vessel; one for first cabin passengers, the other for second and third cabin officers and white crew. The Asiatic crew and Asi atic steerage have separate galleys. Pire extinguishing in hold spaces is done by steam. The valves for con trolling same are located on upper deck and are at all time accessible. The usual life saving appliances are fitted, including belts, buoys, rafts and boats. There are fifteen metallic life boats, one metallic launch, with alco-vapor motor; one wooden row boat and five metallic life rafts. Everything that can be thought of for the comfort of the passengers has been atended to. The vessel la built to carry a large quantity of freight and a considerable number of passengers. Fourteen Knots an Hour. The new vessels will steam at a speed of about fourteen knots an hour, and being so large will be very steady in the worst weather. Passengers who travel for enjoyment will find this to be the ideal type, and the manufacturer or farmer will find that the twin screw steamship Minnesota and her sister, in conjunction with the Great Northern railway, will speedily and safely con vey his produce to the far Orient. The first cabin passengers are located in houses on the upper, promenade and bridge decks. The dining saloon is on the upper deck, and is large enough to seat all the passengers at one time. The din ing soloons of second and third cabins are situated on main deck, and a con venient passage connects them with the galley, the whole forming a very neat arrangement. The first cabin library and ladies' boudoir are located on the promenade deck immediately over the dining sa» --loon; they are large, sQuare rooms. The library will be fitted up with writ ing desks, book cases, tables, etc., and DAY'S NEWS SUMMARIZED Weather for St. Paul and vicinity: Fair today and tomorrow.

FRICK CAN SEE NO CHANGE FOR A PANIC Steel Magnate Stops Over in Minneapolis on His Way Home From the West—Says That Business of the Country Is in a Healthy Con dition—Mr. Frick Interviewed for the First Time injslany Months. Henry Clay Friok, the American steel magnate, president of the H. C. Frick Coke company, many times a million aire nnd one of the greatest business organizers this country has ever pro duced, arrived in Minneapolis yester day afternoon on the private car Pil grim over the Soo road from the West. Mr. Frick is accompanied by Mrs. Frick and Mr. and Mrs. H. J. Harding, of Pittsburg. The car was transferred from the Soo to the Milwaukee last night and the party leaves for Pitts wburg this morning. The survivor of innumerable at tempts at assassination by revolver, knife and bomb, bears few evidences in his face or physique of the strenuous life he has led since beginning business in 1869 as a clerk in his father's flour store at Overton. Pa. His face is well rounded and full of smiling 1 good hu mor. There is not a line. In it to sug gest that he has led so busy and event ful a life. The bushy whiskers that are a characterizing feature of the great man's appearance remain of the same pattern that caricaturists have had so much fun with, but they are now gray instead of black. But Mr. Frick is quite as upright and aggressive look ing as he ever was, and the raze of his gray eye is not less steady than it was when he looked into the faces of scores of infuriated men in the Homestead riots. The Frick party left the private car at 6 o'clock last evening and, drove to the West hotel for dinner. Afterwards Mr. Frick telephoned to the Metropoli tan theater and asked for seats in the body of the house. Four seata were re served for him two rows from the front in the center aisle, and the party spent an evidently pleasant evening watching the performance of "York State Folks " Not Subject to Interview. In conversation with a representa tive of The Globe at the close of the performance, Mr. Prick declared that he had never submitted to a news paper interview in his life, and did ATTORNEYCENERAL KNOX TRAVELS j Leaves for the West a ndls Possibly Headed for p|pst|SuL r: ■ $#£ - Special to The Globe. •PITTSBURGH Pa., April 15.—United States Attorney General Knox dropped Into Pittsburg late this afternoon on a very mysterious visit. Immediately after his arrival he w*nt to his office, where he was joined by United States District Attorney James S. Young. The two remained together for some time and then went to the Union club, where they dined. They remained in a pri vate dining room until almost 9 o'clock, when they were driven to the union depot. A compartment had been engaged for them on the Pennsylvania limited, which leaves for the West soon after 9 o'clock. The conductor of the train refused to state their destination. One report is that they are bound for Chicago on business connected with the beef trust. not intend to begin. He admitted be ing much interested in the Northern Securities decision and announced his intention of reading the decision as soon as he got back to Pltsburg, but added that he had not had time to more than glance at it to the present time. "As to the merits of the decision I decline to express an opinion," said Mr. Frick. "In OFder to do so I should have to read it thoroughly and then take a few days for digestive purposes. Nothing could be more unwise than the practice of discoursing lightly on mat ters of so much portent. "But do you believe the decision will be upheld by the United States su preme court." "Nobody can tell what the United States supreme court will do. If there were any means of knowing there are scores of anxious men in the United States who would hasten to avajl themselves of the chance concerning other matters than the Northern Se curities decision. It is-to be assumed that the ultimate wisdom of all decis ions by the higher courts of this land will be demonstrated. As a matter of fact I know nothing as to the language of the decision at present. I expect to study it later." "What do you consider to be the outlook for business in this country? Is there any actual cause for the fears recently expressed in interviews by prominent men of a period of commer cial depression?" "It is sufficiently evident, I should think that the business of the country is in a healthy condition. There are certain elements in the situation per haps that could be improved upon, but the great basic fabric of the nation's prosperity is the condition of the indus trial population. The working people of the United States were never so well off as now, nor were the farmers ever more prosperous. Manufactures are booming everywhere. These facts are sufficiently patent. I repeat that I cannot submit to an Interview upon any pretext or topic." Another story is that they are going to St. Paul to investigate the Northern Securities merger. AGUINALDO WANTED GEN. OTIS KILLED Charming Little Document Found Among Captured Papers. WASHINGTON, D. C, April 15. — While examining papers captured from the Filipino insurgents, ('apt. John R, M. Taylor, of the Fourteenth infantry, acting under the direction of Col. Ed wards, of the department of insular af fairs, a few days ago, discovered a re markable document indorsed on 4he back with a direction to kill Gen. Otis. That indorsement, Capt. Taylor insists, is in the handwriting of Aguinaldo, the Insurgent chief. A translation of the document is as follows: "Our Honorable President: We, the signers, who subscribe to the declara tion appended, by these presents pro test against the American piVclama tion. We recognize no authority but that of God and the revolutionary gov ernment, and we offer our lives and property for the independence of our country. "Manila, San Miguel, Jan. 12, 1899.

The Gregory anti-vaccination bill, with the Dunn amendments attached, was passed by the senate yesterday afternoon without debate. Senator Col lester delayed the roll call long enough to suggest a minor correction in the provision allowing the person to be vaccinated to name the he desired and the bill was then passed by a vote of 40 to 2. The Dunn amendments to the bill provide that vaccination shall not be made a requirement for admission to school, except when the school board and the health board agree upon the necessity of such vaccination and that no child shall be vaccinated if 'able to show a certificate from a recognized physician proving that the health of the holder would be endangered by the operation. Antis Want It Beaten. The amended Gregory bill does not meet with the approval of the anti vaccination forces who have been working with the legislature. President Griggs stated yesterday afternoon be fore the senate had reached the cal endar that he much preferred seeing the Gregory bill with its emasculating amendments defeated. "I diTnot care to see this bill passed," said the president of the anti-vaccina tlonlsts. "The passage of this act will simply make it harder for us to secure suitable legislation two years hence. The Dunn amendments are not to mv liking at all. "What will they do? They, in the first place, say that the health board and the school board shall decide when vaccination is necessary and what does that mean? "Who is the health board? Dr. Ohage and the school board means other doc tors, and we are left as before, in the hands of the doctors." BIG FORTUNE FOR "BEE" TAYLOR Minnesota Woman Gets $300,000 Through Death of an Uncle.

CHICAGO, April 15.—Sharp criticism of the expense of conducting Chicago's charities and equally severe condemna tion of the city's inadequate facilities for caring for sick children were meted out with unsparing hand by Drs. J. B. Murphy and I. B. Abt at a conference of the Children's Hospital society, held today before the Chicago Woman's club. "From 30 to 64 per cent of the money contributed In Chicago organizations for charitable purposes is spent upon salaries and expenses," said Dr. Mur phy. "One well-known institution which receives $300,000 a year spends $119,000 of this sum In salaries. An other, which has contributions amount ing to $116,000, spends $44,000 for sal aries and administration expenses. Others which receive respectively $77, --000 and $65,000, pay out for these pur poses $17,000 and $20,000." 'PINO INSURGENTS EVADING THE ARMY Cholera Breaks Out in the Command of Capt. Pershing.
