Rear Admiral Kimberly, president Of the
naval board Of inspection, returned this
morning from forty-eight hours' trial at
sea. The tests were in the main satisfac-
tory, although the board finds room for i'm.
provement in some minor detail. Owing to
the foul condition Of the cruisers bottom
no trial of speed was made, but it is be-
lieved that when her bearings have worked
smooth and the resistance of the stiff ma
ohinery'ls overcome her speed will be greater
than that shown in the preliminary trial.
The cruiser met with couple of mishaps
Bremerhaven, which anchored in surly de-
tiRnce of warnings from the naval officers
that her berth was too close to allow her to
swing clear, and was swept by the current
against the Philadelphia's port bow. Fem
ders were hastily placed over the side to
deaden the blow, which could not be avert
ed. The cruiser was backed out of danger
and an investigation of damage showed the
Doits OF the low pressure crosshead of the
etarooard, the air pump broken and several

In the center of the I'D" was lovely star,

The meeting was called to order BY Hon.

Judge Cullen Does Y0emen Service for the
Good Cause.
ELLIsroN, Nov. 1.-LSpecial. IA crowded
house greeted Hon. w. e. Cullen at this
place this evening. The gentleman held his
audience for an hour and half and was
frequently interrupted by hearty rounds Of
applause. He claimed that Carter. in sup
porting the Mckinley tariff and thereby
raising the price Of all the necessaries Of
life. had not done 30 in response to any de-
mand of his constituents. for higher prices:
that previous to the passage Of that law the
prices of all commodities in the market
except labor. had been fully high enough In
Montana for either republicans or demo-
crats, and that there was nothing in the
bill making eight hours days work, or
requiring the payment Of higher wages to
workingmen. He said that in supporting
Reed for speaker and in pairing with Boat
ner at a critical moment in the history Of
silver legislation, he had betrayed the In
terests # every Montanian, and violated
the pledges he had made whom elected: that
he had deliberately sold out the best
interests of his constituents on
the silver question to Speaker Reed
~ WsoAAA0A4s POoAslOub on COmmltso06;
that this was the reason Why Carter hesi-
tated about accepting the nomination, and
wanted to be wired" Carter did mot ex-
pect people whom. he had 10 shamefully
betrayed to re-eleot him. and in this respect
he would not be disappointed.
Mr.. Cullen claimed that the silver Law
was drafted in Wall street, and was sub
stantial victory for the gold bugs; that Sec
retary Window was inimical to silver, and
that after July next he would not coin
single dollar; that the accumulation of sill
yer would of necessity cause the repeal OF
the law and result in the permanent de-
monetization Of silver.
Elliston is safe for handsome majority |
for Dixon. Many thinking republicans will |
not support Carter ON account Of his silver
record.
