She Proves Rcrnctt Very Fast ana
Iseats Ger Record.
The new cruiser Baltimore, which showed
such surprising speed on her recent trial
trip, and yet was found by the trial board
to have fallen 39.horse power short of the
requirements, made her isecond trial on
Fflday. The speed she developed WAS even
more remarkable than on her first trip,
being 90 9 knots an hour, against ~ 8 knots
before; but whether she developed more or
less than the 5000 horse power called for
by the contract capnot be told until the
results, as shown by the indicators, have
been carefully worked out by the govern
ment engineers.
The cruiser left Cramps shlpyard, Phila-
delphia, yesterday week, carrying Messrs.
William. Jacob and Andrew Cramp as rep
resentatives of the builders; Captains
Bradford and Schley, OF the cruisers Phila-
dephia ard Baltimore; this trial board and
some others, the whole party. Including
the working crew, numbering $40. Com.
mander Glass was at the head OF the trial
board, and Chief Engineer Ayres was in
charge oil the Indicators. Last night week
was passed ut the cgpes, and on Thursday
morning the Baltimore proceeded to sea to
test ali parts OF the machinery preparatory
TO the trial trip. After u very successful
run she returned to the capes.
The trial was begun promptly at O'Clock
On FridRy morning, ut which hour the
cruiser started for her four hours steady
run on northeRst-by. course from
Cape Hanlopen. The run was made with
out break, and at a speed that delighted
both the builders and the government OIL

the cruisers head was turned homeward,
and at dark last evening she had reached o
point above Chester on her return, where 1t
was decided to stop for the night on &C.
count of the darkness. She went on to
Philadelphia Saturday morning.
The calculated speed on the four hours
run was 20.2 knots an hour, and the horse.
power developed was estimated at 9,100 or
400 more than required. At premium oi
| SlO0 for every additional horsepower over
5000 thi1 would entitle the builders to an
extra S40,O00 above the contract price,
The actual horsepower developed CANNOT
be- known until the results as shown by the
indicators have been marked out ut the
Brooklyn navy yard by the engineers.
All on boaId the Baltimore during tina

Drawing pay from the Government
10 uo the Senator'S Dirty Work.
Dover Index.
The +. Eden Bach exposure has stirred
up no little comment among the people
Of Delaware on the courde OF Senator
Higgins in thus appropriating the ser
vices of government employe to his
own private use. At first there were
quite number of people who were 10th
to believe the senator guilty OF an aot of
this kind, but hearing no denial Of the
charge from either Mr. Bach or the sena-
tor, they are forced to conclude that the
accusation is founded on fact. The mat
ter is simply an outrageous imposition.
Mr.. Higgins has lucrative law practice,
and in addition draws SIS, 200 g year for
his services as senator, and instead OF
hiring clerk for his Office, and paying
him us he should out of hi8 own pocket,
he takes man from the document
room at Washington, who ia paid
81, ,440 year to work for the government,
and brings him to Wilmington to Go his
dirty political work. What would the
people of this State say if Senator Gray
were to take one of the employees of the
Wilmington post oflieeand appropriate his

frauding the government? And yet Mr..

employe that ar. Eiag,ns hsa to tint

ploye. Mr.. Bach's concienoe ma,
be of suoh character us to ALLOW
him to draw salary for service

The Delaware Game Protective Asscc'a
tion met in annual session Thursday morn-
ing az the rooms OF the Kswasat Gun
Club, at Third and French streets, which
had been kindly loaned for the occasion.
There was good attendance and much
interest was manifested. After all OK
penses are paid $400 were reported to be
left In the treasury, which tie secretary
was instructed to invest in the purchase
OF birds to be released in the three

A resolution was adopted instructing
the secretary to issue yearly certificates
to shoot in the State al so for residents
and S5 for non. residents, to take effect
from October of this year and remain in
force until rescinded. This will remove
the objection of those who formerly be.
longed to the association but allowed
themselves to fall in arrears for dues,
which it was necessary TO pay formerly
before such person conld again enjoy
the benefits of the association.
The association now numbers about
800 members, and President l. N. Mills
said that the farmers are being interested
in the objects Of the association, and last
year protected the few birds left by the
blizzard, go that the reports from the
lower counties now say that quail are
plentiful. This is particularly so Of
Sussex county.
The association decidedito push all the
cases of violation OF the game laws which
come under its observation. Detective
Hutcbins has been securing the State
with the result that 40 cases are now
pending and 20 other cases have been
settled, in all OF which the association
was successful. The fines all go into
the aEsocistion's Golfers, hence the cru.
ssde has been fairly profitable one be.
side proving protection to the game.
The election OF officers for the ensuing
year resulted as follows: President, l.

AN ExOIrIRG CONTEST.
Friends school Beats .thc Chester
High school.


An interesting and exciting game OF foot
ball was played en- the Front and Union
streets grounds son Friday afternoon oe-
tween the eleven Of the Friends school and
the Ches er high-school. The latter team
was heavier than the local players, but the
Wilmington boys made up IN skill what
they lacked In weight. IL was nip and
tuck contest until within 10 minutes of
time, when Chester weakened and allowed
her opponents to score three touch-downs
In short order.
The two teams were as follows: Chester

Bailey. Miller Bailey of this CITY, acted As
referee, and W. l.. Burk of Chester, as
umpire.
The game started with the bail 10 the
home teams possession. Throughout the
game, the Friends school rush line showed
superiority and gradually forced the ball

! work OF Letp6r often prevented goal. It
was long and hard struggle but after
about 20 minutes play, Jones eluded the
| Chester line and scored touch down, but
favor of Friends. TIE play was then fast
and furious. Chester played with moro
| snap and vim and a good punt by Barton
put the ball In the Friends territory. There
the struggle was waged for fully 10 min
utes without either side securing mach ad-
vantage, when time was called without any
more scoring.
In the second half, Chester again braced
itself ito do or to die" After several
! scrimmages in the centre of the field dur

of clever dodgos, and sprintlng OF unusual
abilities, he carried the ball across the
Friends goal llne, making derisive gri-
maen ut tho same time which was more OF

gentlenlHnly conduct. Lelper then kicked
