SPEED OF RAILROAD TRAINS.
Attorney Riddle Thinks They Should
be Limited to Six Miles Per Hour.

THE STAR has heretofore referred to the
letter of Mr.. s. c. Clark requesting the Com
missioners' opinion as to the law on the follow
ing paragraph:
Il also insist that no locomotive engine or
steam railroad cars Of any description be per-
mitted to run within the cities Of Washington
or Georgetwon at greater rate of speed than
at the rate Of six miles an hour, as prescribed
by law, and that if by any pretended regulation
a greater speed is now tolerated. ask that it be
Immediately revoked"
This extract from the letter was submitted to
Attorney Riddle for his opinion as to the Com
missioners' power in the premises. Today he
submitted the following opinion in relation
thereto:

The Woman is Entitled to Her

Hc w Ouldu 40 1IHtlttcu 10 f1er Lana.
General Land Commissioner Croft in decid-
ing the case of Anderson against Myers, involv-
ing ownership of homestead entry in Ne
braka, emphasizes the policy he will pursue in
land contests when good faith is shown by the
settler. Anderson contested Mary Myers
entry, alleging that she had abandoned it.
The evidence showed that he had not lived
ON her entry for six months prior to
notice of contest. But good faith in making
the entry and in what he has done to improve
it are essential elements, says Commissioner
Croft, In deciding the case. The evidence says
that the woman had aug we'll, built q small
house and broke 40 acres Of ground Her
health was poor and she left her claim in
search of medical attendance. When suffi-
GENTLY recovered she resumed her residence.
Commenting on all the facts Commissioner
Golf says:
ut is clear that in consequence Of sickness
and poverty she has been obliged to be away
great deal Of the time, and am satisfied that
she has lived on the claim as continuously az
she was able and as much 30 as was consistent
with prudence and safety. The law does not
require that life and health should be sacrificed
to maintain residence"
The action of the local land Office in awarding
the entry to Anderson Ia reversed and Mrs.
Myers title confirmed.

WAsuNGroS, March J0-It Is the opinion
Of Admiral Harmony, who Is also familiar
with the Samoan Islands, that the English
man-of.war owed her escape TO the fact that
she had steam up and wa enabled 10 push
out to sea. The number Of vessels lying In
the small harbor was a source Of danger to
them individually, for il one dragged her
anchors she would very probably collide
with and carry away another ship, which
might otherwise have held securely.
The news Of the disaster created a pro-
found sensation at the Navy Department.
and everybody from the Secretary down
freely expressed his regret. Secretary Tracy
could not see cause 10 condemn anyone. The
oflcers IN command Of the vessels were com.
potent men aud had doubtless adopted all
proper precautions against disaster, but
these hurricanes, which assumed cyolonic
proportions. were simply irresistible, as was
proved by the extent OF the loss OF YES els.

which was Admiral Kimberly's flag ship,
was the best wooden vessel in the
American navy and the best ship
in the old navy. The Vandalia was
another fine vessel, and had been thoroughly
rehtted in the Mare Island Navy Yard at
considerable expense Just before she sailed"
Engineer officers recall the fact that the
Trenton, which is set down as having u
speed OF 1913 knots, when in the Red Sea as
tonished the Englishmen by easily running
away from crack vessels of their ileet rated
as IA and 10 knot vessels. She was launched
in New York in 1877 at the navy yard.
She was ship rigging 25 feet long, as feet
beam, drew OF, and was $500 tons dis
placement, or about 600 tons more Than the
Boston and Atlanta. She had 420 officers
and men aboard when she sailed from home.
The Vandalia vas built at the Boston navy
yard and launched in 1876. She was PIG
feet long, 80 feet beam, 17.3 draft, and 2,l00
tons displacement. She was rated as a II
knot ship and carried 200 officers and men.
The Nipsic was a vessel of the old war
navy, but after six years repairing at the
Washington navy yard she emerged in 1879
as q practically new vessel, little but the old
keel remaining, She was bark rugged, 1856
feet long, IS feet broad, drew l4.3 feet,
displaced !, 1916 tons, and was n slow vessel.
rs things now go. being set down as a little
over ten knots in speed. She sailed way
from the United States with $50 officers and
men aboard, making the total strength Of
the American fleet in Samoa 800 men, or
nearly double the strength Of the German
forces. The Olga had 267 men, the Adler
l2S men, and the little Eber cighty-seyen
men; yet, with one-half Of the number of
the American forces, these unfortunate vessels
appear TO have lost more than twice as many
men. Some naval officers think this is an
indication that the American vessels had
greater structural strength than the German
ships, or that superior seamanship was
shown.
