Thurston was recognized for the delivery of hla speech, A Jar of roses had been placed on Mr. Thurston's deek. but he spoke from that of Mr. Hawley, in the central part of the chamber. Some surprise has been expressed that Senator Thurston shoulU' eppear in public prominently so aoon after the demise of Mrs.

Thurston, but the first (sentence of hla speech furnished the key to his action. Mrs. Thurston' dying request to her husband was that he should lose no time on account of her death to do his utmost to save and free Cuba and its people. In accordance with this request, therefore, Senator Thurston sacrificed his personal feelings and delivered hit speech a speech that was his tribute to the memory of his His opening: words were: "I am here by command of silent lips to speak once and for all upon the Cuban situation.

The imminence of the Cuban crisis hao arouued financiers to make error: to avert war, A movement to this end is on foot In Lombard strefet, and American hankers who are leading It, are supposed to have tha sympathy and perhaps co-operation of tho itothschilds. Tho Amerioan bankers are endeavoring to secure the lntlu-enirb of financiers and governments, representing to them the damage to the commerce of all nations which are Involved. American bankers tell the diplomats that if the United States demands an Indemnity and Spain-is willing to pay, the llnanclors will gladly furnish the fumta.

The best informed diplomats do not believe tke Spanish cublnet or dynasty dare to rick the wrath of the populace which would Inevitably follow acquiescence with the demand of the United States for reparation for the loss of the Maine. Prominent financiers are calling upon Ambassador Hay, seeking inside Information regarding the political situation, and the ambassador replies that he has not been informed as to the contents of the report of the United State court of Inquiry. Financiers are also seeking to bring pressure upon AVashlngrton through American diplomats, but it Is believed ttvfcy hive met with little success. The Spanish and Cuban firms and financial houses In London generally agree In expressing the opinion that there will be no war. CONNECTICUT NAVIGATION.

THOUSANDS OK PEOPLE WITNE88 THB CHRISTENING. KeamBrge Chrlmtaned with Cham-ptigoe and the Kentucky with Water (Joveruor Hraflley Respond to a Toast. Newport News, Va March 24. The battleships Kentucky and Kearsarge were launched this morning from the yard of the Newport News Shipbuilding Company In the presence of about 18,000 people. The first to glide Into the Janus ltiver was the Kearsarge.

The christening party urrlved Just before 10 o'clock and were conducted to the gaily decorated stand at the bow of tho The party was composed of Calvin H. Orctitt, president of the Newport News Shipbuilding Company; Mrs, Herbert Wlnslow, sponsor for the Kearsarge; Miss Christine Bradley, Hpojraor for the Kentucky; Mrs. W. O. Hradley, mother of the fair sponsor; Governor Hradley of Kentucky and staff; Governor Tyler of Virginia, and staff, and a number of utate officials of Kentucky; Lieutenant-Commander Her bert Wlnslow of the naf the only sur viving son of the who commanded tho famous old Keairs.irge In nor fight with the Alabama; members of the House and naU committees on navul affairs and others from Washington.

All preparations being arranged, a saw severed the last pieces that held the Kearsarge in place and the splendid hull started In Its Journey to the water. As It started Mrs. Wlnslow broke the bottle of champagne over the bow and exclaimed, "1 cbriKen thee Kearsarge. As Ihe vessel glided into the river cheer after cheer went up from the crowd and the shrill whistles of the steamers In the harbor welcomed the new naval champion. The cruiser Brooklyn and monitor Puritan, which were lying out.

In the stream were representatives of the navy- The christening party then proceeded to the bow of the Kentucky. This ceremony was a counterpart of the former, except that when the critical moment arrived Miss Christine Bradley broke a cut -Iass bottle of water from the iring on liie old Lincoln farm and said: "I christen thee Kentucky." Then as the vessel started down the ways several bottles or old bourbon whiskey were hurled against her sides by Kentucklani who were opposed to the water christening. Water from the spring on the Jefferson Davis farm In Kentucky was also smashed on the vessel's sides. Both launchlngs were successful in every particular. The invited guests and distinguished visitors then boarded the vn.nnr( Mown nnd nroceedod to Old Point, where the shipyard ofllclals tendered a banquet, covers we.e for 600 people.

It wa Informal. Among the toasts responded to were Ken-tucky" by Governor Hradley, and Virginia" by Governor Tyler. Governor Hradley referred to the bold pioneers, the eloquent statesmen and he gallant soldiers of his state and said: "Of this Kentucky I cannot fittingly speak in the short time allotted. Hut it is the other Kentucky that calls for speech and poetry and song, that Kentucky which to-day gave its first kiss to the sea. There is no better ship; there could be no better name When fully manned and equipped she starts on her mission, we will all God bless Kentucky on the land! God speed and protect Kentucky on the g.a' No hlp has ever been christened as It has been.

Not acoordlng to the custom of pirate Vikings clad th the skins of wild beasts, but with sparkling water from the spring which quenched the infant thirst of him who gave freedom to a race and saved our country from destruction. And when the great ship majestically moves to the glorious destiny which In store for it it will be sanctified by the prayers of more Christian women than all others that have ever moved on the face of the waters." Now Ventures In Naval oiiHtructlon. The new battleships embody In their construction a feature new In naval design. With a displacement of H.nS'i tons, they draw only 23 feet 6 Inches of water less than the armored cruisers New York and Brooklyn, which would not, combined, be equal in combat to one of the battle ships. Save the Indiana class, they will carry the heaviest batteries In accord with modem naval practise, and, with batteries fully equal to that class, they will mount secondary guns' in such fashion as to make the combination almost unequalled In naval architecture.

The big rifles, four in number, are to bo mounted In two turrets, one sweeping the entire sea from dtree.tlv ahead, fully half way astern the other with equal range, placed to command the sea from either bow or straight astern. They are thirteen Inch caliber, yet the British navy confines Us guns to the twelve-Inch calibre. In Inches the difference eeems small, yet the American gun has about twenty-five per rent, more power. At this point In the armament of the ships the American designers have embarked in a bold experiment the result of which will be awaited with Interest by the whole marine world. Instead of descending at one move from the heavy primary battery to the small calibre rapid fire guns, as Is done in the case of the cruiser it has become the custom of naval architects to interpose a battery of medium calibre guns, six or eight inches, for instance, and these are placid in smaller independent turrets about the ship.

It occurred to the American designers that If they cotild dispense with the weighty and space-consuming machinery attached to thtve turrets, such as the turning engine, and machinery, Independent ammunition hoist shields, and the like, much more engine power could be placed in the hull of the ship and that much more armor could De carried. They solved the problem by rigidly attaching the smaller turrets, each containing two eight-inch guns, to the top of the big thlrteen-inch turrets. The plan has another advantage than weight-saving. Theoretically, it tends to a terrible concentration of tha fire of the ship. Probably the craft does not float that would survive tha awful Impact from the four guns of one of these combined turrets upon one small section of its hull, and, because they are trained In unison, their projeotlles must strike close together.

The combination battery is to be fup-pleniented by a numerous auxiliary battery of smaller guns perched on every convenient point of the superstructure. All will be rapid fire or machine guns. Well-Known Railroad Man Dead. Philadelphia, March 24. Charles B.

Mr.

forbid that the bitterness of a personal lows should Induce me to color In tho slightest depree the statement that I feel it my duty to make." Mr. Thurston said that hn.o (tone to Cuba bt'lievinfr (hat the condition of affairs on the island had been exasperated, but from what he saw there he had concluded that an overstatement of the horrors of the situation was Impossible, He said Spain had lost control of every foot of Culm not surrounded by an actual In trench men ami protected by a fortified picket line. Under the inhuman policy of Wcyler, he said, not less tluvn 40n.NiO people had been driven from their homes and left to perish by nlow starvation. He estimated that 210.000 reconecntrado had already perished. He said that nothing: had been done for the sufferers except by the people of the t'ntte4 Plates.

He did not believe that Spain could ever eonquer the Insurgents. Her army of (10,000 avallabla men was In poor condition and wider lax discipline. "I do not believe." said he. "that the entire Spanish army in Cuba could stand an sngaement In the open Held against EO.000 well disciplined American sol-3lers. Mr.

Thurston described the oufferhifl-that he saw in Mstanzs province, and said: "We we feeding these cltlstena of Spain; wa are nursing their sick; we are saving such as can be saved, and yet there are those who still say It i right for tis to send food, but we must keep hands oft. I say that the time has nome when muskets ought to go with the food I shall refer to these horrible thmgg no further. They are there. God pity me; I have seen them: they will remain In my mind forever and this Is almost the Twentieth century." He expressed confidence In the Judgment, wisdom, patriotism and Americanism of President MeKlnley. He adverted briefly to the propositions at recognizing the belligerency of the Cubans, but he said that the only action possible was Intervention for the Independence of Cuba Intervention that means the landing of an American army In Cuban soli, the deploying: of sn American fleet off the harbor of Havana Intervention which says to Spain, leave the Islands, withdraw your soldiers, leave the Cuhans, these brothers of ours Jn the New "World, to form and carry on government for themselves." The only voice of dissent raised against Intervention, he said, was the voice of the money changers, but hf said the weal or woe of the stock gamblers wa of little importance to tha liberty-loving people of the United State.

"Let the men whose loyalty Ifc'to the dollar stand aside while thn men whoee loyalty is to the flag eonw to the front." There are some," he said, "who lift their voices and Insist that the republican party will not act, for they say it sold out to the capitalists and the money changers at the last national election. It la not so, God forbid. The 7.000,000 freemen who voted for the republican party and for William MeKlnley did not mortgage the honor of this nation for a campaign fund, and If the time ever comes when the republican party hesitates in Its course of duty because of any undue anxiety for the welfare of the accumulated wealth of the nation then let the republican party be swept from the face of the earth." He said there could be no Intervention to save Cuba without force, and force means war and war means bloodshed. He believed in the dootrine of peace taught by the lowly Nazarene, but men must have liberty before abiding peace can com Force saved the Union, kept the stars in the flag, made "niggers" men. The time for God'a force has come again.
