Successful Trial Trip Of the
Battleship Monterey.

The managers of the Union Iron Works.
at San Francisco. CAL, have given the new
coast defence vessel Monterey preliminary
run. The trial was regarded as highly salts
factory both by the contractors and the
naval Representatives who were present. Il
was desired to make some slight adjust
ments in the new machinery before increas-
ing the pressure
While running at speed of from ten tc
thirteen marine knots it was shown that
the Monterey is wet ship forward Water
ran over her bow and grew in volume as
the speed increases, uutil right at the point
of her bow there was stee1 1y torrent pour
ing on her from four TO five feet above deck
1t rushed over the forward part of the deck
for distance OF thirty or forty feet back OF
the hawse pipes. The bay was smooth and
the vessel was perfectly steady, without any
tendency to pitch or dip her bow IN the
water. The members Of the Naval Board
expressed no surprise at the manner in
which she threw the wave over her bow, and
stated that nothing else could be expected
of vessel OF the Monitor type with free
board of thirty inches as the Monterey has.
The naval engineers who were aboard
the vessel and members of the trial board
say that SO far as her machinery was con-
cerned it has worked satisfactorily and
that there is every indication that when
forced to her full power the new vessel will
meet the requirements of the contract. Sew
eral OF the engineers speak in especially
favorable terms OF the Ward coil boilers,
which were placed in the Monterey by the
Navy Department, partly by way Of an ex-
pertinent.

has been in communication in London with
agents of the Count of Paris. and that the
exposure of the Thierree checks is directly
attributable to royalist influence.
Another rumor is that the officials and
deputies as we'll as civilians connected with
the Panama scandal have had it intimated
to them that their salvation lies in an
espousal of royalist schemes, and that all
their offences will be condOned if they will
consent to betray the republic.
Some confidence is placed by well In
formed people in both these rumors, and 1t
is apparent that royalist agents have as
sumed an activity they had not displayed
for years, and there is also evidence that
royalist money is again afoat.
Shculd affairs take turn favorable to q
ycbtip d,etat IN behalf Of royalty, it is proba-
bic, according to current reports, that the
young Duke Of Orleans would ba selected to
lead the attack. The young Duke is more
popular than any other member Of his fam
ily. and his offer to serve in the army as
conscript, when he came of age, made
wide and favorable impression.
The great difficulty in the way OF q royal
ist coup is that there are no signs OF dis
loyalty in the army. M. de Freycinet, the
Minister of War, is untouched Dy the
scandals that have besmirched his coneague,
Rouvier. and he has the devotion and loyal
attachment of the officials in higher COM
mand.
The military forces in the nelghoorhood
OF Paris are kept under the strictest dlscip-
line and the greatest vigilance is exercised
to prevent tampering with the troops.

After McGuire sat down in the chair the

prayer Of the dying. In forty seconds all
A current Of 1900 volts was shot through
the mans body, which instantly stiffened
into the rigidity OF death. For four seq
onds this terrible current was continued.
Then it was reduced for q period of five
seconds to 150 volts, after which the full
voltage was applied again. All the while
sponge had been dripping salt water on the
electrodes There was no scorchfng or blis-
terinx OF the skin. When the electricity was
first applied McGuire's facs turned red ami
then changed to 9 deep purple.
DR.. Irving listened intently to the heart
which fiuttered for 511S seconds after the
current was finally switched of. and pro-
nounced the man dead. The autopsy showed
conditions entirely similar to those which
would have followed natural death. The
execution differed from previous killings
by electricity only in the matter
OF the application. Heretofore there have
been two or more distinct contacts. In the
case OF Mcclure there was only one, the
current instead OF being entirely interrupted
being reduced at one time to 15o volts.
