Ready For Her Trial.

SANTA BARBARA, Nov. 26.-The
Olympia will start on her second
trial tomorrow as announced. Her
record Of % 2 knots will not only
be equaled but surpassed if the ex-
pectatIons of those on board are
realized. The wind of yesterday has
abated, and there is every prospect
for good weather. In case the test
is not satisfactory by reason of ac-
cident or otherwise the cruiser will
be compelled to return to San
Francisco before the third run
could be made, as coal and provi-
sions are getting low. 1t is on this
account that the ship will leave so
soon for the north if her trial Is
successful. She will remain in her
harbor only two hours to clean out
her engines and then start for San
Francisco, performing maneuvers
to test her rudder gear before leav-
ing the channel. The officers ex-
pect to finish the trial tomorrow by
II o'clock.

American Ships for Brazil.

The attempt to detain the YES
sells which Peixoto of Brazil has
purchased in the United States
failed for obvious reasons. De
Mello is not recognized as a bellig-
erent. 1t is perfectly open for Peix-
OTTO to acquire the navy of the
United States if this country is
willing to sell, and to purchase a
few merchant vessels and convert
them into warships is an ordinary
transaction-just as permissible as
buying cargo of wheat. 1t may
be bad for De Mello, but is only

A RINGING LETTER.

We have been permitted to copy
the following paragraphs from let
ter received by the last mail from
DIR. John F. Ely, citizen of Iowa,
who has been lifelong friend of
Hawaii and an ardent advocate of
the annexation of these islands to
the United States. His views will
be read with interest:
"There is not a doubt that at the
present time vast majority of the
American people are in sympathy
with the Provisional Government,
and, too, in favor of annexation
1 cannot divest myself of the opin-
ion that both Gresham and Cleve-
land are at heart favorable to either
a protectorate or annexation. If
the revolution had been deferred,
say two months later, or until Mr..
Cleveland's Inauguration, so that
his administration would get the
prestige of it, treaty of annexation
would have passed the Senate by a
large majority and been signed by
the two Gs. But that the Republi-
cans should have that prestige was
uncomfortable to Grover, and that
Gresham should heartily sympath-
ize with him was but natural from
his well known personal hostility
to President Harrison. And now,
after waiting several months, comes
out the development of this secret
plot to restore the old, corrupt
monarchy.
"Thanks to Mr.. Thurston and
others, who have been watching
closely, this wicked scheme has
failed. Why all this long secrecy?
Why was Gresham's letter sup
pressed, so the people at the islands
could not see it till it was believed
at Washington that Willis had GER
tainly placed the ex-queen again
on the throne? Willis should have
the credit of being an able diplo-
mat, but he found his match in
President Dole, and has done the
next best that he could, finding his
original scheme thwarted. / ina
CINE there is a most intense feeling
of amazement, disappointment and
dissatisfaction just now among the
powers that be- in Washington at
this result. How they will get out
of their miserable fiasco with any
credit to themselves or their party
it is difficult now to see. Gresham
would give anything doubtless if
able to retrieve his mistake in writ
ing that letter, or if it had never seen
the light. But he will say he could
do no less on the report of My Com
missioner Blount. / often wonder
what will be said at the islands,
and what will be thought of him
when that letter reaches there, and
not only of him, but of the whole
gang of schemers at Washington
and elsewhere who have attempted
such a wrong against the good gov
eminent of the islands when all the
facts shall come to light. But what
else could we expect of the party of
mistakes. 1t has done simply moth
ing for the honor or prosperity of
the country, so far as l know, with
in the present generation, and it
never will, we may conclude"

The Alert and Boston have been
hauled in alongside the wharf, to
remain while the buoy at which
they have been made fast is re-
paired. A force of machinists have
been engaged in disconnecting the
machinery on the Boston previous
to the survey and for the purpose
of ascertaining the amount of re-
pairs to be done. This is usually
the case as it gives the Board of
Inspection better opportunity to
of getting at each and every part of
the machinery.

Quite a number of curiosities
gathered from all parts of the

osity implements of Sewarfare cap
