THE PACIFIC COAST SHIP.
The Cruiser Charleston Nearly
Ready for Trial.

WASHINGTON, December 28.-Irvin NJ.
Scott, President of the Union Iron
Works of San Francisco, was at the Navy
Department to-day in conference with
the different bureau officers in regards to
the conditions under which steam trial
trip of the cruiser Charleston, shall be
conducted. The acceptance of the vessel
by the Government will depend upon the
success of this trial. Scott said the ves-
sci would be ready for test in about six
weeks. The Charleston is the first ves-
sci of the new navy constructed on the
Pacific Coast, and unusual interest is
manifested by naval officers in regard to
her speed and construction.
Commissioner Stockslager, of the
General Land Office, has rejected the
claim of the State of Colorado for lands
selected by the State as indemnity for
losses from the school grant by reason of
school sections that are included in
Indian reservations. The sections are
embraced in certain lists transmitted to
the Commissioner from the local offices
at Pueblo, Leadville and Glenwood
Springs, Colo, and cover 377 1875 acres of
land. The ground of the rejection is
that the lands were all selected in one
body, which is not in conformity with the
act of March 3, 1875, admitting Colorado
into the Union. This act provides that
lands selected as indemnity for loss of
granted school sections shall be 'as con-
tiguous as may be to the land lost" The
rejected selections will be subject to
settlement and entry.

PHILADELPHIA, December 2S.-The
new dynamite cruiser Vesuvius which
left Cramps shipyard yesterday for
Delaware Bay, there to have test Of
speed, returned to the shipyard at
O'Clock this afternoon. The course in
the bay where the trial was made was
reached last evening before dark, and
although the wind WIS blowing gale,
the sea heavy and other disadvantageous
conditions, the contractors concluded to
have trial before dark. The course of
two miles was made in five minutes and
fifty-four seconds, three seconds faster
than the time fixed by the board as
requisite to the rate of twenty knots
Another run was made in six minutes
and twenty-one seconds, which was
twenty-four seconds over time. The
vessel then anchored off the John Light,
all night, and this morning another trial
was made. During the run however,
one of the air pump levers broke and the
last half of the knot was run with only one
engine. The time made was six minutes
and eighteen seconds and the trial was
then abandoned the Vesu> ius returning
to the city. Heavier air pump levers
will be provided and another trial made
as soon as they are fitted, probably on
Thursday next. The horsepower
developed at the time the air pump
lever broke was 4,280.

THE JOSEEA CASE.

1t Is an Ancient Chestnut and Has
Been Dropped.
WASHINGTON, December %. 1t is
learned at the Department Of State that
the case of the brig Josefa against the
Spanish Government for indignities, etc.,
alleged to have been imposed by the
customs officers of Porto Rico, Jamaica,
has been under investigation since July.
1887, and since that time the State De-
partnient has been endeavoring to secure
q remittance of the fine that had been
placed on the vessel. The Spanish laws
against smuggling provides that if YES
sci comes into Spanish port with less
cargo on board than her manifest holds,
she will be liable to fine of 5000 for
every package missing. This ships
manifest mentioned twenty packages of
corn starch that could not be found, and
q fine of "a, 900 was accordingly levied on
her. 1t is customary to remit the fine If
q reasonable excuse can be given, but in
this case the missing packages could not
by any explanation be accounted for.
One defense was advanced that the
goods had been put by mistake on the
bark Josephus, which lay next to the
Josefa in New York, but the Department
upon investigation of the case learned
that the Josephus had no corn-starch or
board on that trip, and did not lay mex
to the Josefa in loading. In the cores
pondence the officers of the Josefa ad
mitted that the mistake may have beer
caused by careless receipting for goods

MORE LIGHTS ON THE COAST.
What the Lighthouse board Rec
Omm end to be Done.


WASHINGTON, December 2S.--The an
nual report of the Lighthouse Board to
the Secretary of the Treasury to-day is
made public. The Board renews the
recommendation that proper steps be
taken to prohibit the establishment or
maintenance Of private lights and buoys
in navigable waters of the United States,
and that provision be made to enable
the establishment of inexpensive and
temporary lights in cases of exigency
and pending action of Congress. 1t rec
ommends that appropriations be made
for the establishment of lighthouse de-
pots in the Ninth, Fourteenth, Fifteenth
and Sixteenth districts. Attention is
called to the hampered condition in
which the Board is left by the provision
of a law which requires it to accept the
lowest bid to do work for which pro.
posals were advertised, no matter how
unfit the bidder, or how impossible it
may be for him to do good work, pro-
vided he can give a good bond, and it is
recommended that this section of the
Revised Statutes making this regulation
be modified. 1t is admitted that
proper steps should be taken to
obtain legislation to enforce the
regulations of the Board requiring bridges
over navigable waters to be lighted.
The Board repeats it's recommendations
that new building be provided as quar-
ters for the Lighthouse Board, but re-
duces it's estimates from $250,000 tc
$2l0, 900 for this purpose. The estimates
for general appropriations amount tc
$2,222 500. The estimates for special
appropriations amount to So, ,310
Among the items are the following: The

WASHINGTON, December 2S.-At the
morning session of the American
Historical Association Willard Clark
Fisher, a Fellow in the Cornell
University, read paper upon
American Trade Regulations Before
1872" CHARLES N. Morris, of the Berke-
ley Divinity School, read a paper on
"The History of Internal improvements
in Ohio" Prof. G. Brown Goode, As
sistant Secretary OF the Smithsonian
Institute, read paper upon "The Use
and Limitations of Historical Museums.
He said that the boundary line be-
tween museum and library
is neither straight nor plain. A
library is the most useful to the edu-
Gated, the museum to the educated and
uneducated alike, to the masses as we'll
as to the few, and is a powerful stimu-
liant to Intellectual activity in either
class. The museum of to-day is no
longer a chance assemblage of curiosi-
ties, but rather of objects selected with
reference to their value to investigators
or their possibilities for public enlarge
ment. The museum Of the future may
be made one of the chief agencies of a
higher civilization. hope the time will
come when every town will have both
it's public museum and it's public library,
each with its staff of competent men,
mutually helpful and contributing largely
to the intellectual life of the country.
Several interesting papers were read at
the closing session this evening. Officers
