THE CHARLESTON,
Successful Result of Her First Gun
Practice Trip.

Successful Result of Her First Gun
Practice Trip.
SAN FRANCISCO, April 20.-The Charles
ton arrived in port this afternoon after a
cruise to Monterey, whittier she went to
try her guns. 1t is understood that her
officers will report the test as entirely
successful. The Charleston will remain
here for three weeks and be thrown open
to public inspection.
Captain Remey, chief of the Charles
toms staff, said: The result of our voy-
age to Monterey has been highly salts
factory. The discipline Of the men was
perfect, and the engines and machinery
could not have given better satisfaction.
During the voyage we proceeded
knots an hour, using only three
of the six boilers. With the ten and
six-inch guns, two of the targets were
destroyed at distance of 500 Yards.
This distance is regulated by the NAVY
Department, and is the longest range
allowed during the present quarter.
This practice was while the vessel was
at anchor. The shooting with the
secondary battery, which includes the
Hotchkiss revolving canons, six and
three-pounders and gatling guns, was
at targets, at distance of 1000 yards.
There was also practice with rifles
at distance of 800 yards, and revolvers
at so yards. There were boarding drills,
and every member of the crewhad a
chance with small arms.
Said Rear-Admiral Brown: cit was
the most successful trial trip ever
made by a new war ship. There was
not break or even a scratch. In fact
officers and crew came back with
perfect confidence in the ship, and
the guns. Their pride in the first war
ship built on the Pacific Coast has been
increased since the successful gun test

redemption feature provided in the
treasury bill, and the other is authority
to sell bonds in order to make a
reserve fund to meet the constantly
increasing volume of treasury notes.
The latter | believe both unnecessary
and uniustifiable. The former believe
entirely practicable and safe. Even
with this safeguard against the destruc-
ton of the fair fabric of our national
credit, the extraordinary concessions
above mentioned approach as near to
the dangerous edge of peril as prudence
will dare tread. Rather than go one
step farther in that direction, firmly
believe it will be far better to have no
legislation on the subject.

first innings. Goodenough made fine
catch of fly after a long run to right
field. For the visitors Lookabaugh

VIENNA, April 20.-The workmen in
the mines and iron works of the Prague
Industrial Company and of the Austro-
Alpine Mining Company threaten to
strike if the eight-hour working day is

of general strike through the empire,

ARMY DEsERTIONs.
The Current Year Shows Slight De-

WASHINGTON, April 20.--Reports re-
ceived by the War Department for nine
months, beginning with the fiscal year,
July /, 1889, show that there have been
1878 desertions from the regular army
in that period. For the corresponding
months the previous year there were
1888 desertions. The reduction this
year is over 16 per cent. The percentage
of desertions to the enlisted strength of
the army has been for this period 6.1 per
cent, and for the same period last year,
7.6 per cent Secretary Proctor has
taken an active personal interest in this
subject, and has labored diligently to re-
duce this evil, with some success, as the
figures show. The House has already
passed bills in line with the Secretary's
suggestions, and he believes if the same
pass the Senate and become laws, they
will enable him to accomplish much
more in this direction.
