THE TEUTONIC's SPEED.

She Covered 53S Miles in Twenty -four
Hours and Broke the Record.
NEW YoRK, Aug 3.-The White Star steamer
Teutonic made a heroic attempt to lower the
record between Queenstown and this port
on her trip which ended here this
morning, and she might have succeeded
but for an unfortunate accident to her
machinery last night The Teutonic did not
leave Queenstown until Thursday last and the
splendid performance Of the City Of Paris was
already known at Queenstown when the leu
tonic put in there after her run from Liverpool.
The steamship was then in good condition
and it was desired that il she was able to dis
tinguish herself che would do it on this trip or
remain second best in the transatlantic feet for
another year. The record-breaking season is
the month Of August. when the winds are light
and the seas are calm.
Though she did not lower the record the
Teutonic broke all best days runs by eight
miles, when during the twenty-four hours end
ing q. noon Yesterday she steamed 52s miles,
The best previous days run was made by the
City of Paris on her record breaking run last
week when she made $40 miles.
The great speed asked Of the new cruiser Co
lumbia, which is supposed to be fast enough to
overhaul such vessels as the Tentonic, is a
maintained pace Of twenty-one knots
an hour, and yet the latter kept up
a speed Of twenty-five knots an hour for
a whole day. At this rate the new commerce
DESTROYER" would be left out of sight BY the
Teutonic in less than half a day. II the White
Star steamer had continued on her voyage at
the rate Of speed she attained on one day she
would have crossed in five days, six hours and
eight minutes.
The Teutonic sailed from Queenstown on
Thursday Of last week, passing Daunt's Rock,
1856 this morning she was abreast Of the
Sandy Hook lightship

How California swindler Cheated Over 4OC
Victims.

HOW q California Swind1er Cheated Over 400
Victims.
SAN Francisco, CAL, Aug. s.-Three in
dictments found by the grand jury yesterday
reveal a swindle of gigantic proportions, in
which some 400 people, principally from the
east, have been badly bitten. Victims reside in
nearly all the large cities of the east, including
Chicago and New York. Two Of the swindlers,
o. E. Moore and T. H. Downing, are within
reach, but the third, A. Hoyt, is in Mexico.
In 1887 Moore bought from the millionaire
farmer, John Boggs, 1900 acres Of land in
Tehama county, adjoining Senator Stanford 8
ranch. Not cent was paid for II. the basis Of
the transaction being long credit. Within few
DAYS Moore had plastered the place with a
go, 900 mortgage, the Savings Union of this
city being victimized. Then he sold two-thirds
of the place to Hoyt and Downing and organ
lied the California Land Company and called
the tract the Gilmore Colony" Circulars
were issued and gorgeous pamphlet was pub
hshed Offering fve-acre tracts for 81 a week on
each acre, the total price being SIS an acre,
Four hundred victims were secured. Some
paid up in full and got worthless deeds. A few
months ago he transferred his interest back to
Boggs. The Savings Union demands $63 900
from the men and Boggs will take back the
land.

THE HOUSE.

There was no appreciable increase in the at
tendance OF members this morning. No objec-
ton was made to the reading of the journal of
yesterdays proceedings, but Mr.. Kilgore CTex. }

Mr.. Holman moved an adjournment Pending
which the Speaker laid before the House tele-
grams from Representatives Layton, Hopkins

MR.. SIMPSONS QUESTION OF PRIVILEGE.
Mr.. Simpson (Kan.) rose to a question Of
personal privilege. He sent to the clerks desk
the Congressional Record and had read certain
extracts from a speech delivered in the Senate
some time ago by Senator Perkins (Kan. which
Mr.. Simpson regarded as rejecting upon his
integrity and motives. He stated CATER some
time was consumed in discussing his right to
reply to statements made in the Senate) that he
had not been guilty of any improper motives.
Then Mr.. Sayers CTex. moved an adjourn
ment, which was antagonized by the republi-
cans. and the motion was lost-7l-a0. Then
the worlds fair fight was resumed. The Speaker
stated the pending motion to be that made by
Mr.. Bingham (Pa.) TO table the motion to re-
consider the vote by which the House receded
from its disagreement to the Senate's world
fair amendment.
Mr.. Bailey CTex.) immediately moved that
the House take q recess until 2 o'clock
On this vote but IS members voted-l1
casting affirmative and 81 negative votes-no

Mr.. Sayers again moved that the House ad-
journ, and again the republicans, under the

On a standing vote the republicans were sue
cessful, defeating the motion by . vote Of &C 10
&c. Tellers were ordered. The vote by tellers

The Speaker stated that the vote REQUIRED on

They Say That Their Triumph 10 Only q
Question of Tipe.
HOMESTEAD, Pa, Aug. SIT is now probable
that a. result Of the wage conflict
in Homestead a secret society will be
involved. Complaint has been made to
the Junior Order of American Mechanic
Council that in the mill are large number
Of men wearing badges Of the; order, and that
in taking the places Of locked-out members Of
the order they IRE violating their oaths, and
should be expelled. The officers Of the local
council have begun an investigation, and il the
reports prove true they will appeal 70 the state
councillor.
A wild story has been in circulation here for
two days. which in effect Is that secret ennis
sary Of the Clan ma Gael had been here trying
to induce the nsturalized Irishmen here to Join
the Clan-na-Gael. The members ran against
several workmen who did not take any
kind1ier to him than to the anarchist
who came here, and result he was uncere-
moniously hustled out Of town. 1t is possible,
he left and these will continue PROSECUTING
The immediate effect Of the mass meetings
yesterday has been materially to stiffen the
courage Of the strikers.
Manager Potter claimed that forty-nine new
men were put to work in two days and that the
ment were rapidly weakening. This
morning the company only claim three
additional applications and the men
are not disposed to concede that many. In
fact, the energies Of number of day laborers
who were wavering yesterday are devoted to-
day toward inducing those who have gone in
to come out and many stratagems are laid to
get hold of the men
Tho Edna has been ploughing the shore all
morning trying to find a Homestead man near
the mill landing. The gates are besieged and
letters containing personal appeals are sent in
to the men.
I'VE have completely checked all feeling Of
doubt" remarked q member of the advisory
committee this morning mot only are the
men irmer than they have been for
week, but they will certainly reclaim
every Homestead steel worker who
has weakened. This is our week. We have
learned that yesterday seven plates were rolled
out and not a single one but was condemned.
That convinces us that our position has become
almost impregnable and we can afford to wait
until Mr.. Carnegie tires Of having his money
thrown away"
At the works this morning Supt. Potter said
that the departments in operation are working
daily more smoothly as the men became accus-
toned to the work, and he has every reason to
be satisfied.

few DAYS and that the Mexican Central

few years ago. 1t is understood that the
brotherhood men employed on the roads enter
ing this city will refuse to handle freight
whether for or from the Mexican Central until
the discharged men are reinstated and the or
ganilati0n recognized BY the company.

The Tricks of a Successful Forger.

LOUISVILLE, KY, Aug. 3.-Wm.C. buchanan,
twenty-three years old. has been arrested here.
He is wanted at Memphis for forgery. Bu-
chanan is apparently a skillful crook and has
swindled the Memphis bankers and brokers out
Of large sums. His scheme for obtaining sig
natures is a novel one. When Buchanan reaches
a city he writes to the leading business men.
telling them he has a letter of introduction, and
asks o reply making IN appointment. Most
men fall into the trap and thus Buchanan Sc
cures the signatures, which he afterward FORCES
on checks.

Fishing Vessels Suspiciously Near the Can
atiian Waters.
HALIFAX, n. s.. Aug. 3.-The air is full of
rumors of American vessels fishing inside the
three-mile limit. report was current today
that the cruiser vigilant had captured vessel
fishing in prohibited waters along the
western coast Of Halifax. United States Consul
General FRYE has no confirmation of the report
. special from Digby says: Msckerei have
struck in along the shore Of st. Mary's bay,
and traps and seines are taking from SO to 100
barrels Of No. fish each tide.
This is a great temptation to American mack
erel men, who are lowering suspiciously near
the three-mile limit. In consequence the do
minion government has dispatched the cruiser
Kingfsher to the scene of the alleged poaching
and some seizures may be looked for.
