A great American freighter for the leep Bea trade, bearing the good American name of Mississippi, has ju,st been completed by the new shipyard at Camden. N. J., and makes her first voyage next week bearing the products of the South and West to Europe from the Southern port of Baltimore. This Mississippi was designed and built especially for the Baltimore-Londo- n services of the Atlantic transport line of the International Mercantile Marine Company. She is the second first-clafreight ship to be added to this service since the "Morgan merger" was formed. The Mississippi i3 fifty-eigC05 feet long, with a width of feet, a depth of forty-thre- e fen, and a gross tonnage of about 9,000 pounds. These figures may not b5 hound rate, but considerably more than that of the average freighters. The argo space of the Mississippi is enormous. It is no less than 674.000 cubic feet This means that the ship could carry at one time 636,000 bushels of wheat, or the yield of 40,000 Western acres. On her upper decks, carefully covered from the weather, there are stoutly built stalls for the safe and humane transportation of 744 cattle or horses. The work of exporting American cattle to. Europe has now reached an extraordinary efficiency. The 744 cattle which the Mississippi could handle in a single voyage would supply the beef for an entire month to an English town of 100.000 Inhabitants. The Mississippi bears a name of singular renown In the steam fleet of America a name borne by one of the earliest and celebrated vessels that ever flew the national flag In distant coinwaters. And it is a strange cidence that this other and earlier Mississippi was built on the same river within a mile or two of where the "hew Atlantic transport liner was launched. It is interesting, too, to recall that, like the new vessel, the earlier one also had a sister ship known as the Mls- - This first Mississippi was a steam frigate, one powerful of the pioneers of our steam war fleef authorized by congress in 1839. The Sha ship was built at Philadelphia. was a wonder in her day. This oldi Mississippi was reckoned sixty yearrj ago as the most formidable engine of, war upon the ocean. Yet, as compar. ed in size and steam power with the modern Mississippi, .she was a puny craft at best. She waj 229 feet long, or less than one-hathe length of the Atlantic transport liner, and forty feet wide. She floated in nineteen f?et cl water. Steam engines on the hih seas in 1340 and thereabouts were still a great deal of an experiment, and the builders of the Mississippi took care to equip her with three lofty musts and a square bark rig, so that she could take care of herself like any ship in a."i emergency. The hull was of wood; the armanent a few heavy smooth-bor- e cannon, and the speed attained in a smooth sea was from seven to nin mile.s an hour. This old Mississippi proved to be a remarkably successful and popular ship. She was reckoned a beautiful vessel in her day. . She had a succession of good commanders and skilled officer, and she was known as a "hapNo py ship" throughout the service. Bteamer of the old navy ever made a record comparable with that of the Mississippi. She was the flagship ol Commodore Matthew Calbraith ITerry in the Mexican war. She was his flagship In the famous expedition to Japan, when American diplomacy, backed by American arms, opened the "hermit kingdom" to the trade of the nations. In the Mediterranean she one bore Kossuth from Turkey to France, and brought some of his fellow exiles to America. In the year 1859, as the flagship of Commodore Josiah Tat-nai- l, the old Mlssisslppo was present at that lively fight in the Pel Ho river, where the gallant Tatnall and his boat's crew went to the rescue of a hard pressed British ship, with Its memorable comment that "blood la thicker than water." Twice the old Mississippi circumnavigated the globe. It was said of her in 1860 that she had cruised more miles under steam than any other war vessel in existence. Her end was strikingly tragic Just 40 years ago. In March 16G3, the gallant old ship, following Farragut's flag, was destroyed in a terrific night battle at Port Hudson, and her charred wreck sank to the bottom of the great river from which she took her name. The executive officer of the Mississippi on that memorial night was a young lieutenant, George Dewey, now the admiral in command of he American navy. TO RECHRISTEN INDIANS. TO TAP INTERIOR WEALTH. ss ht very intelligible to landsmen, but they mean substantially that the Mississippi Is about as long as an ordinary ciiy block, aa wide as a goodslzed street and as high from keel to deck as a ro-- v y of houses. The ship has the modern twin screws, triple expansion engines and a double bottom for the carrying of water ballast and also to keep the ship afloat in case of the If striking of an unseen obstruction. the outer bottom were pierced the ship would still float easily upon the Inner one. The hull, of course, is of steel throughout, and the ship is into nine water-tigcompartments. four-stor- sub-divid- ed ht . .

The Indian bureau Las decided on a policy which will probably cause as much Indignation and excitement among the red men as did the now famous order of Commissioner Jones, since revoked, Instituting compulsory tslrcutting among the nation's wards. This policy contemplates a rechrlsten-In- g of all the Indians In the United B'stes, substituting for their usually remarkabuT and unpronounceable names selected titles ordinary by the o?l leers of the Indian bureau. The Indians will not be consulted. Commissioner Jones explains that the revision will be of great advantage, as It will eliminate not only the unpronounceable, but the vulgar Indian names, as well, snd substitute permanent names that will show family relationship and thus enable titles and allotments to he left clear on the government records. Instead of the Indian equivalents of such names as Face, Jumping Bear, His Mother-ilaw, Two-TailEagle-Hear- t and the like, the records wi',1 show a nomenclature of which John Brown, William Fmlth, James Jones, Henry Green and Thomas White are fair examples. Commissioner Jones an1 the other Officers of his bureau believe that Lo won't care what hp is railed on the IPtrvernmpnt rolls as long as he gets Ms land allotment snd ration, but others who have studied the Inlian charac eristics think thre will be more excitement on the reservations when the cmtr christening Is over than thet which followed the "Get our Liar-cutartfar.

Remember 413 Sus-Un- J d" is CASTOR What Castoria a harmless substitute for lf Miles Long, It Will Start From the Coast on Resurrection Day. Plans for a new railroad to extend 413 miles from the coast toward central Alaska have been completed as a result of surveys made last year. The plans, which have been made pubilo in Seattle by George W. Dickinson, president of the road, provide for a terminal on Resurrection Bay, which can accomodate ocean-goin- g vessels of around settlement The deep draught. the proposed terminal has been named Seward, In honor of the former secretary of state. Leaving Seward, the route extends up the Salmon River Valley through dense forests, along the east shore of Kenai Lake, up Track Creek 30 miles and down Placer Creek to Turnagaln Arm through a mineral belt where several hundred miners have been at work since 1S02. Parsing around the Knick Mountains, the route leads due north to the head of Kick Arm. From that place a branch line Into the Copper River country is being planned. a The main line continues up the land Valley through rich timber and patters the Talkeetna Mountains, where there Is an abundance of gold and copper. It is expected that the road will open up this mining country. Coal in considerable quantities has been found in this district. From Sustlna Valley the road is to run up the Sustina River to Indian Creek and thence to the pass through the Alaskan ranpo. Easy approaches will make the ascent w simple task. The road then follows the Cintwell River to the va'.ky bt the Tanna. New York Commercial. OAKITARIUr.1. ! ' KANSAS CI I Y. MO. I.ADIK S CAP-ri.F- . liARUEH ffe. reliable.
