Now that the s.whaleback steamer,
Charles w. Wetmore, though a pro-
duct of the great lakes and a fresh
water invention, has successfully de-
monstrated her ability to make the
transatlantic passage, and not only
this, but TO cope with the stormy seas
off Cape Horn, having safely arrived
at Valparaiso on her way to Tacoma,
the building Of similar ships is likely
to become new and thriving industry.

A portion of the Baron de Hirsch
fund is being expended in New York
in the construction of baths for the
people Of the tenement-house districts.
There is little doubt but that this ex-

value. The fact that bathers are
charged small fee removes the i'm
preston that the enterprise is a charity,
and fosters that spirit Of independence
which is always noticeable among the
really deserving poor.

COAL CONSUMPTION,
An Order to Naval Officers Requiring Eco
nomical Use of Coal.

An Order to Naval Officers Requiring Eco
nomical Use Of Coal.
As the new navy increases and full-powered
steam vessels take the place Of the old modern
ships which relied in part upon their sail power
for propulsion, the amount of coal consumed
increases in rapid proportion. This fact has
led to the issuing of the following order by the
Secretary of the Navy today:
General Order No. S9O.-Oficers in COM
mand OF naval forces, whether sauadrons or
single ships, are directed to practice the utmost
economy in the use of coal
At the first favorable opportunity after the
receipt Of this order commanding officers of
vessels will make experiments in order to ascer-
tam the most economical rate Of speed for their
ships under conditions of ordinary service and
fair weather. Reports will be made to the de-
partment stating the consumption of coal per
hour at varying rates Of speed. from five to
eleven knots, the kind and quality of coal used,
the condition OF the bottom as far as known and
such remarks in reference to the most economi-
cal rate OF steaming of the vessel as the expert
enee OF the commanding officer may suggest.
Vessels with sail power not cruising in a
squadron when they have fair wind sufficient
to carry them more than four knots an hour
Will make ordinary passages under sail alone
steam being employed only when going in and
out of port. 1t is expected that vessels cruis-
ing under steam, whether in squadron or singly
Will not exceed their most economical rate ex-
cept In cases Of emergency, where the nature
OF the service requires a high speed, and in
such cases q report will be made to the depart
ment explaining the necessity for such in
creased speed and stating its extent and dura-
ton and the quantity Of coal consumed in con-
sequence.

THE PENSION PAYMENTs.
Secretary Foster Says There VIII BE No Dim
Guilty in Meeting Them.

Guilty in Meeting Them.
Secretary Foster said this morning that he
anticipated no difficulty in meeting the quar-
teriy pension payments, s26. 900 900,
which fall due June l. The available cash
balance is now nearly s16, 900 900 and will
go beyond s26,0OO,0OO by the early part
OF June by reason of the continued ex-
cess OF receipts over expenditures The Secre-
tary said there would be necessity, go far he
could see, for calling In any Of the government
deposits held by national banks to meet PEN
sion obligations. This bank fund now amounts
to ga, 500 900, exclusive Of money deposited
to the credit Of disbursing officers.
Secretary Foster said further, in response to
inquiries on the subject that while it was not
altogether settled 1t was more than likely that
the department. would give the holders the
SoO,V0OOOO ~ per cent bonds outstahd-
ing an opportunity to renew those bonds after
September l at q reduced rate of interest The
secretary said Q San Francisco banker had
given the opinion that these bonds could be
noated at u per cent interest.
he, however, did not think such thing
feasible with an interest rate less than per
cent 1t was his impression that the matter
would be settled definitely in q short time. He
SAID that the recent gold shipments had clearly
established one thing, and that was that the
credit OF the United States was above that Of
any other nation, and could not be shaken by
the severest drain. The financial situation was
considered at the meeting of the cabinet today,
put without result, 90 far as known.

wALLA wALLA, WASH, May 22-The fourth
day Of the investigation by the court of in
quiry into the late lynching at Fort walls
Walla was sensational in some respects. Col.
Compton, commandant of the fort, was put on
the stand. he says he has not received justice
either from the press OF the people and that il
will take twenty years to overtake the false re-
ports that have gone out. The colonel con-
tradicted the sheriff and the prosecuting at
torney in much Of material testimony.
He testified that there was nothing
any real danger. He believed the disturbance
of the night before had all subsidized and that
troops no longer manifested a mutlnous spirit.
He denied that he said he could not keep the
men at the post till after IL o clock because OF
order of the War Department, but still in
sists he took measures 70 prevent any out
break and had the sheriff made any resistance
whatever, he would have been there with Q
company to assist and would have saved Hunt
from lynching. He blames the sheriff for
having been bluffed out.
Compton was subjected to severe cross-ex-
animation, which he stood manfully for sew
eral hours, and when at last down his eyes
hiled with tears. He said il Was all due 70 Ms
non-commissioned officers He bewailed the
confidence he had placed in them; he had
trusted them and found them ufaithful; had
they done their duty the lynching would not
have occurred. He thought he had such per-
feet discipline. After his lecture the night be-
fore he thought no further violence would take
place.
