WASHINGTON. Sept. A report received
to-day from one of the inspectors on the
new cruiser Charleston. built by the Union
iron-works, San Francisco, states that horse
power developed by the ship in her recent
official run will probably not be reported
above 6.7O0 by the trial board in their of

of four, as stipulated in the contract. Her
speed during the six hours averaged about

to the effect that they were ready for the
trial thirty-three minutes before the board
began to take the records of the engines.
which were daring that period at their
best. When the test actually began the
engines had began to fall off, and before
the end of tie run had gone down quite
low. They argued that they were entitled
to credit for the performance of the ship
for thirty-three minutes before the records
were taken and that an equal amount of
time be taken from the end of the four
hours In this case their indicated horse
power would be very near i,100, which is
the requirement. This claim is likely TO
be allowed. in which case the penalties
from this cause will not amount to much.

SENATOR STEWART.

Senator VIM. NJ Stewart, Of Nevada, ar.
rived in San Francisco this week. and on
Tuesday afternoon addressed the San Fran
cisco Board Of Trade, and gave that body a
good deal Of information about silver. In
the course Of . short conversation with a
press reporter the Senator gave 1t as his
epinisn that the present administration was
favorable to the free coinage Of silver, He
has had several conversations with President
Harrison in regard to- the silver question,
and alse with members Of the Cabinet. and
though he obtained no direct assurance that
this is the case, he believes the policy Of the
says: The President, you know, is empow-
bred to purchase silver to the maximum
smount Of four million dollars monthly, and
Think he will purchase the maximum. This
is equivalent to the free coinage Of the metal,
and the eject will be to enhance the prosper
ity Of both miner and farmer.
In reference to the question of irrigation
Senator Stewart said the Senate Committee
Of which he is'a member is now on its way
to examine the regions it is proposed to i'm
prove. They proposed visiting Colorado,
Montana, Idaho, Nevada, New Mexico and
California, and expected to be absent alto
G.sher about two months.
The engineerwould look after the matter
Of locating the reservoirs the committees
business was to obtain general idea of the
localitiesit was proposed to irrigate. An ap
preparation Of 100000 had been secured
and surveying parties were at work in parts
Of Colorado and Nevada. Successive annu.
81 appropriations would be secured to keep
the work going.
BY this means reliable data will be gath
cred on which it will be possible to have a
plan Of operation. This preliminary work is
most essential and it will be done effectively.
want to say that am not in favor Of max
ing a monopoly Of irrigation. Whoever
buildsthe bitches ought certainly have clear
title to them, but most certainly advocate
the ownership by the people, not by monop.
slists.
There is nothing new to say regarding the
policy Of the Administration. Regarding

coast from San Francisco this week. She i.

her trial trip was made in very creditable
style. She had rough weather and made
over IA knots an hour. 1t has been demon.
strated that Is fine work can be done in San
Francisco as in any Of the large ship building
cities Of the world. The Union Iron Works
have already been awarded contract to build
another man. OF. war, and it will not be long
before San Francisco will be ahead of any
other city in this line of work.
