The last phase of the presidential canvass
now entered upon is remarkable for two things.
IL Is remarkable for democratic confidence and
for republican activity after an unusually long
season Of apathy. The points where this ac-
fivity u chiefly displayed are in New York and
one or two states OF the south. While the re-
publican factions In the former locality seem to
be heartily cooperating the managers, or some
Of them. are doing all they can apparently to
vrest from the democrats such states Ala
hama and North Carolina. The third party,
they think. Is more deeply rooted in these states
than 10 was in Arkansas, Florida and Georgia
To the public at large there is not the most
brilliant prospect for the opposition to the
democrats in either state. The democrats are
encouraged BY the signs Of the time TO increase
their efforts IN Indiana and certain other west
srn states. while to replace possible losses in
that section the republicans are making a Wig
orous fight 10 secure New York and Connect
cut. Their wisest managers do not expect
much from the south outside Of West Virginia

SAN Francisco, Dec. 2S.-The official
trial of the new coast defense vessel Mon
terey will not occur until next week, as
the contractors have decided to alter the
pitch Of the screws for the purpose Of OBJ
tanning greater number of revolutions
and thereby developing increased horse
power. The vessel will go on the dry
dock tomorrow, and the present pitch of
her propeller, which is twelve and half
feet, will be decreased to about eleven
and half feet.
The new warship was coursing on the
bay to-day for over six hours, and for
four hours of that time was steaming at
full power under forced draft She dem
onstrated the fact that her machinery is
capable Of standing the most severe test
that the Government will require. Dur
ing tine entire run there was not the
slightest mishap to any part of the ma
chlnery. Her maximum revolutions
were 100 per minute, and her speed in
those parts of the course where the water
was deepest 1T is estimated amounted to
fourteen knots per hour.
some partial computations were made
to determine her horsepower develop
ment, and these indicated about $500,
which is 200 less than the contract re-
quirement
The official trial would probably have
occurred to-day, all members of the Naval
Board being present, had it not been that
the builders became convinced, after a
thorough test of the vessels capacities,
that by decreasing the pitch of the screws
greater development of horsepower
would be obtained, which would result
IN the builders receiving a premium on
horsepower in excess of the required
5,400.
Full steam pressure was maintained for
1our consecutive hours, for the purpose of
testing the power of the engines thor
oughly. The only feature about which
the naval engineers have expressed any
doubt was the Ward coil boilers, which
are being used for the first time on as
large scale, or in the battery" and
which the Navy Department placed on
the Monterey as an experiment. All
doubt as TO the capability Of the boilers to
hold the necessary amount OF steam was
removed by their performance to-day,
and the naval experts pronounced the
experiment entirely successful. Nearly
all the time that the Monterey was run
ming at a high rate Of speed the safety
valve was blowing Off steam, indicating
that the boilers were making more steam
than could be applied by the engines
The average revolutions to-day were l4S
or l49, ana these were made with a steam
pressure of 100 pounds.
