SOME OF THE OTHER FEATURES.
The Trial Board, Of which Rear Admiral L. A.
Kimberley president, and which directed and super
vised the trial of the machinery, guns and the
structural strength Of the cruiser Philadelphia In
a forty eight hours cruise at last week. are busy
making out their report. Further information about
the trial. which will DO included in the report, is that
after breaking the crosshead bolts Of one Of the air
pump engines Wednesday new ones were made on
board. The accident similar TO the one which
occurred at Cramps work before the ship left there
"These air-pumps beastly designs, and require
attention than the main engines said one of the
officers at that time. Even Friday when the vessel
was at sea, during the temporary absence for few
minutes OF the man stationed I'm charge Of it, Of
the airpumps stopped, and this necessitated the
stopping of the main engine until the arpump could
be started again. 1t therefore impossible to
run this pump without the constant attention Of one
man.
During the turning trials on friday under natural
draft the engines up to 10 revolutions, not
withstandng the fact that the fires not in the best
Of shape. On the subsequent Of one hour attempt
was made to do the best, as the Board said they
did not want 1t. There trouble whatever with
the machinery, except with the air-pup1p, and every
thing worked well. Three of tbs gun carriages seem

WHO. THEN. Is SITTING BULLS FRIENpi

TO the Editor of The Tribune
Sir: The report from Standing Rock Agency, con-
cerntng the threatened trouble among the Sioux
Indians of North Dakota, printed In The Tribune OF
October g. contains the assertion that Sitting Bull
has been aided and allotted in his insOience BY tbs
visits and gifts Of Brooklyn lady, member OF tho
Indian Defence Association.
As that organization is but little known beyond its
headquarters In Washington and it is confidently DO
leved has no auxiliary in this city, your readers may
be misled into thinking that the above statement
refers to the Brooklyn women's indian Association
which is directly opposed, in principles and practice
to the first named society 1t is to prevent this mis-
conception Of facts that write No such name as
Mrs. c. Weldon appears upon our membership roll,
and 1t rs scarcely possible that any lady here should
be actively interested for the good Of the Indian with
out being brought to our knowledge in some way.
However that may be, wish to make 1t clearly
understood that the work OF the Brooklyn
Indian Association is not to stir up strife and enmty
between the races by melting the red to rebellion
and murder but to do all that Is possible 10 elevate
the Indian by education civilization and chrfstfanixa
ton Not by misplaced sentiment and demoralizing
gifts to foster his natural feeling OF revenge, but to
teach him what are his rights and help him to main
tain them. and so to aid In that comprehensive sys
em of training and education that Is to convert him
into an enlightened American citizen.
