The Test OF the Monterey.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 2S--The official trial OF
the new coast defense vessel Monterey will not
occur until next week, the contractors, the
{ MON Iron Works, have determined to alter the
pitch OF the screws for the purpose o. obtain
ing greater number OF revolutions and thereby
developing increased horse power. The vessel
will go on the dry dock tomorrow. and the pres
ent pitch OF the propellers, which is 1917 feet,
Will be decreased TO about 1ll2 feet. The new
warship was cruising the bay today for over
SIX hours. and for four hours OF that time was
steaming at full power under forced draft She
demonstrated the fact that her machinery
is capable OF standing the most severe
test that the government will require During
the entire run there was not the slightest mis-
hap to any part of the machinery. Her max
imum revolutions were 80 per minute, and her
speed in those parts of the course where the
water was deepest, il is estimated. amounted to
fourteen knots per hour. Some partial compu-
tations were made TO determine the horse
power development, and these indicated about
500, which is 100 less than the contract require
ment The official trial wolld probably have
occurred today.

FARMERS WAREHOUSE.

Alliance Members Meet to organize o
stock Company and Select q Site.
GARFIELD, Dec. 2s.-[Special. Owing to
the recent severe snowstorm the attend
ance of farmers was very small today from
points outside of Garfield and vicinity 1T
a meeting to consider the establishment of
a warehouse at tidewater by the Farmers
Alliance. Only about thirty representa-
tives were present from neighboring cities.
The sentiment in favor of such a warehouse
was unanimous, the principal discussion
being on the amount of the capital stock
and the par value of the shares. The gen.
erai feeling seemed to be that small par
value of shares was preferable as it would
give the poorer men a chance.
No attempt was made to select site for
the house. although it was understood
that it would be located at either Seattle,
Tacoma Or Portland. and the drift
of talk inclined strongly to the
Sound towns. The articles of incorpora-
ton prepared were taken up section by
section and adopted. The following trus-
tees were elected: State Senator L. G. Nc
Croskey, Lilis F. Smith, +. A. English, J.
W. Bricknell and " Stewart The capital
stock was fixed at $3.50 900, in shares OF SIS
The amount of stock allowed to be held by
one person or firm was fixed at 81, 900
None of the proposed terminal points were
represented except Tacoma, which sent
Lake " ford TO talk of the advantages of
that city. The principal place of business
will be determined on by the trustees-elect.

bill fo- the reasons that they set forth. In
the first place, they claim underwriters charge 3
higher rate of premium on vessels and the.s
cargocs to and from Puget sound than those
charged to and from the Columbia river. am
In position 20 know what rates are charged by
underwriters both in this country and Europe
on such risks. The rates are exactly the same.
and the commissioners simply make ulisstate-
mert when they say foreign underwriters look
upon the inward navigation from Cape Flattery
to Olympia with considerable apprehension.
The very reverse 10 the case, and defy Capt.
Bioadi or any OF the commissioners to name
any reputable insurance company who would
not take marine risk from Puget sound IN
preference 10 q risk from the Columbia river
at the same rate OF premium. II IL were true
what the commissioners state. why DO ship
owners send their vessels to Puget sound at
freight rates 90 per ton under rates from
Columbia river? The answer is perfectly plain
tie conditions are more favorable on Puget
sound. And who gets the benefit OF these lower
rates OF freight? The producer, of course. Bat
put pilotage tax on vessels engaged in the for
eign trade aud you simply add TO the vessels
expenses. thus compelling the owners to de-
inaud higher rates OF freight TO Offset this tax
The ship owner does not pay il in the end; IL
must come out of the farmer and the logger
Increase tae vessels expenses and you add so
much 10 the cost of trans por;ation, which means
lower prices TO the producers OF the state. Is it
not the pride OF all no live in the cities on the
shores @; Puget sound that there is no finer
body OF water in the world, and il vessels have
come anc gone all these years with perfect
safety. why is it necessary to saddle the people
OF this fair state with a tax that is wholly IN
necessary? The proposed bill, it is we'll under
stood. is simply being brought up in the inter-
es;s of d few men who want TO earn their living
al the expense of the state. The state had bet-
ter pension such. Commerce is taxed enough
without further burdens, ami such bill as is
proposed should never be allowed 20 be passed.

THE PILOT LAW.
Puget Sound Commissioners to Recon
sider Their Kecommendat atoms.

PoRT TOWNSEND. Dec. oS.- Special. l.
The Puget sound pilot commissioners will
meet again in few days and reconsider
their recent recommendations to Gov.
Ferry with reference to recommending
the enactment of a compulsory pilot law.
Capt. Barneson has his resignation pre-
pared, but was induced by Capt. Biondi
not to send 1t 10 the governor until an
other meeting of the board Biondi as
sured him that personally he was opposed
to the proposed law. and that at the next
meeting the law would be condemned in
stead of Endorsed. The chairman, Charles
II. Jones, Is in favor OF the law, and Bar
neson opposed, and Riondi holds the bal
ance of power. The question is involving
an immense amount of discussion. The
pilots active in their demands for a
compulsory law, and the shipping inter
ests are vigorously opposing the measure.
Capt. Rarneson SAID today:
II that report TO the governor hy the bosrd "a
published in the Observation-Disclosures is not
reconsIdersd then my resignation goes into eff
Iect at once am in favor OF placing a com.
puisory pilot tax on British tugs coming into

establishments, mines, etc, nor hundreds OF

the United states this year the average length is
only fourteen miles, which is about the average

1892 show that the falling off in railway build
