THAT olsoWNeO DISPATCH.

That mysterious telegram of last
week relating to an alleged accident On
the Montana Union road, has stirred
up a good deal of commOtion. The
declaration comes from Butte that the
dispatch was not sent out from the
Western Union office in that city.
There are some curious features
about the ase AS has already been
explained, the dispatch in question
came to the STANDARD In the regular
service of the Associated Press. Its
dishonest contents were promptly rec
ognized in this office and the report
was not printed. II happened to get

message received here Is identical with
that which our Helena contemporary
credits to its private news service.
The wonder is that the story eyer got
across the wires. More than one of
those whom the question interests have
queried whether il might not have been
started out by some representative of
the theatrical company itself, as q crazy
way whereby to attract attention. The
theory is hardly worth entertaining.
At any rate, ii any such enterprising
plan was had in view. it proved to be a
dead failure.
For its part, the STANDARD has set
in motion the agencies which, we be-
lieve, will finally run this dispatch
down and o its author. The

ONE OF THE
splendid Work by the Philadelphia o.
Her Initial Trip.

Splendid Work 10y the Philadelphia On
Her Initial Trip.
From the Philadelphia Times.
Tho new United States cruiser Philadel-
phia returned yesterday afternoon from
her initial cruise with a record which
promises that i'm her official trial trip she
will prove one of the fastest war vessels
afioat. The Philadelphia left her dock at
Cramps shipyard early Tuesday morn
ing and steamed down the Delaware to
the Breakwater and made a short run out
tn sea.
Captain Steele, who has commanded
on their trial trips all of the latest addi-
tons To the navy built by the Cramps, was
in command, and several members of the
firm were aboard.
Captain Bradford, who is in command
of the Philadelphia, Lieutenant Leipsic
and thief Engineer Parks of the United
States navy, were also aboard as guests
OF the Cramps.
After a short run ont to sea on Tuesday
night to test her ~sea-going quality, the
Philadelphia was turned back and came
up the river about 10 miles, where she an
chored for the night.
At q O'Clock yesterday morning the an
cbors were weighed and the cruiser was
put out to sea. At Z O'Clock the trial was
begun and continued for three and n half
hours, the course being e~ast-southcast
from Cape Henlopen. The course gone
over measured about 65 miles, and during
the trial the engines were kept running at
a high rate of speed. No attempt was
made to take indicator cards to determine
the developed by the engines.
the main object OF the trial being to see
that all the machinery worked smoothly.
Captain Steele threw the log at frequent
intervals during the trial and the result
Of a.l knots an hour. This
speed was obtained with 11s revolu-
tons a minute of the twin screws
under n head of team of 155 pounds. At
h conclusion of the trial the Philadel-
phia was run i'm past the breakwater and
up the river The engines were stopped
but once from q O'Clock yesterday MORN
ing until the cruiser reached her docks at
Cramps. Then they were stopped to
avoid running ove a net which n fisher
nan had stretched across the Delaware.
She reached her dock ut 4 o'clock and
her builders, the Cramps, were very much
pleased with her trial.
william Cramp, who was n OF the
firm on board during the trip. last even
ing said: "The trial was i'm every way q
success. While her engines were run at
q high rate OF speed and for q long period
there was no heating or trouble OF any
kind. No difficulty whatever was expe-
rienced in keeping up n big head of steam
and the steering gear worked smoothly
and there were no bitches TO mar the sue
cess of the trial"

confident that she will prove as fast, II
not faster, than her sister cruiser the Bal

ium. Under the contract the Philadel-
phia's horse power is not tn enter into the
requirements of the test, she being re-
quired to make 10 knots an hour, all over
that gaining for her builders a premium.
Her engines are a new type, designed by
the Cramps themselves. and great power
and speed, IL is expected, will be devel-
nnel by them.

BIGGER HAN LIE COuRI-

During the Grant administration il
was accounted the extreme of human
greatness to be a be a bigger man than
old Grant. II was supposed that any
maj who had reached that degree of
magnitude had attained the limit. but

week show possibilities of bigness
which, il they were ever dreamt of be-
fore certainly had never been realized.
4 jury who were trying u criminal AS
sumed to be bigger than the district
court, and succeeded admirably well.
II mattered not to them that the Judge
in his charge distinctly and unequivo,
cally told them that the prisoner was
guilty upon a particular count of the
indictment, and that they must render
a verdict accordingly. They reasoned
no doubt that IL was for them TO pro-
nounce upon the defendants guilt or
innocence, and they were able To do il
without any outside help. The inter
ference of the Judge. IL appears, did
trouble two or three of the jurors and
SD unsettled them in fact that at their
suggestion, after having been out live
or six hours, the jury returned To the
court for instructions" Again the
judge instructed them in the clearest
and most ~pains-taking name that
there was nothing for them to do but
to return n verdict of guilty upon the
count i'm the indictment he had previ-
ously specified. That settled it. The
jury again retired and after deliberat.
ing a few more hours. for the sake of
giving their decision every semblance
of maturity, reached the conclusion
that the prisoner was not guilty.

SATURDAYS ROW.

Turbulent as il is apt tn be, the house
of representatives seldom presents a
spectacle TO match the confusion that
reigned within its walls for seven solid
hours of Saturday. Yesterday morn
ing's dispatches tell how il all came
about and how il resulted in q determi-
nation on the part of the republicans
TO pass the censure of the house on Mr..
IIynum, who represents President IIar-
rison's district in congress.
Under the leadership of Mr.. Springer
the democrats made a good fight but,
of course, Speaker Reed had ewes and
ears for those only who were bent on
bringing Mr.. Bynum before the bar of
the house. AS il was, Mr.. Reed had TO
endure the haunting remarks of house
members. When the offending mem
Der was himself before the bar the
speaker three times commanded
the democrats, who had gathered
about their man, to take their seats. but
they fatty refused, and even the great
automatic quorum maker could not en-
force his orders. Finally, when the
formal censure was pronounced. Mr..
Bynum declared in the hearing of the
speaker that he accepted the censure rs
a decoration of honor. and Speaker
Reed had To take il.
Taking Mr.. Bynum's remarks rs re-
ported yesterday, they certainly have
an supplementary sound but, If that
be admitted. it must also be said that
the action of Mr.. Bayne, who raised
the row, was equally unparliamentary
and that the urs he pursued in in
Producing in the house a dishonest
letter containing false charges against
Bynum was %cowardly. That started
the quarrel. If the republicans had
called up their own man and made
Bayne an offender equally with By

not have taken place.

From the chicago Herald.
The Rev. Edward &. Towne delivered a

outlined a method of treating mothers, Ivy
which the coloring matter would be re-

would kill most Of the offspring, but those
that did live would he white. Mr.. Towne's
theory evidently is, that since the white
race is the highest type of the human
family. the elevation Of acknowledgements
that every one should bc made white.
Very few people will he willing To go SO
