cAsTlNE AT NEW LONDON.
Tho Final Trial viii Probably Take Place
Friday.

New London. September 10. The gun
boat Castine arrived in the harbor this
afternoon at Q. 80 from Bath, Maine, with
Gen. Hyde, president of the Bath Iron
Works, and others interested, on board.
Already in the harbor we've the govern
ment tugs Fortune, Irwana and Nina,
the cruiser Vesuvius and the dispatch
boat Dolphin, all OF which will be used
as stake boats marking the course for the
speed trial. Admiral Walker and the
other members of the naval board OF in
spectors, arrived Monday evening and
organized today Soon after the Castine
came to anchor, Admiral Walker and
Lieut.. Reamy. the secretary, went on
board, where they were received by Gen.
Hyde and spent some time in looking
over the vessel. Judging from the
amount of preparatory work to be done,
it is not expected that the trial will
take place before Friday. Tomorrow will
be taken up with the inspection of the
vessel by the sub board to see if her
construction is in accordance with the
specifications of the contract and then
the recording instruments are to be set
and a short trial made to see that the
machinery is all right for the final test.
She behaved splendidly on the trip from
Bath, having left there at 4.30 Monday
afternoon and the builders have every
confidence she will much exceed the con-
tract speed.

IN THE PARLIAMENT OF RELIGIONS
Yesterdays Addresses by Christians, Mo-
hammedans and Hindoos.

Chicago, September 12.-The delegates
to the Worlds Parliament of Religions
separated into sections and departments
this morning according to their respec-
tive creeds and faiths, and each OF the
various halls were we'll filed with those
interested in the doctrines enun ciated. A
general union meeting opened at 10
o'clock at the hall of Columbus, with
Rev. DIR. F. H. Nichols presiding. In few
happy remarks he introduced as the first
speaker of the day Rabbi N.Wise. who,
taking as his subject the theology of
Judaism, gave an eloquent exposition of
the Jewish faith, which was listened to
with close attention and frequently ap-
plauded.
In other halls the proceedings were
under the auspices of the Catholic. Con-
gregationalists, Universalists and Lu-
therans; and papers relating to each
denomination were read and discussed.
The addresses of the Indian delegates
were translated to the delegates, and
while strong in advocacy of their own
faiths, were carefully worded to avoid
offence to believers in other creeds.

FOR THE BRENToN REEF CUP.
Navahoe Doing Remarkably Well in the
Long Race.

London, Septem ber 12.-The yacht race
for..the Brenton's Reef cup. took place to-
day. This cup is an American trophy
and was captured by Sir Richard Sutton,
owner of the English cutter Genesta, in
1885.
Until this year the cup remained in
undisputed possession of the English.
Mr.. Royal Phelps Carroll determined to
make an effort to take the cup back to
America, and today his yacht Navahoe,
matched against the Prince of Wales S
Britannia, which was selected to defend
the Brenton's Reef cup, is sailing for the
trophy. The Navahoe AM Britannia
started out from Cowes at $50 this
morning in tow for the starting point,
the Needles, on the western extremity of
the Isle of Wight. The course extends
from the Needles to and around the
Breakwater at Cherbourg, France, and
return, distance of about 100 miles,
The starting gun was fired at IL. Is a. m.
A very strong wind was coming out of
the east when the start was made. The
first point beyond the starting point at
which the yachts were timed was the
Needles Lighthouse. The time at which
they passed this point was: Britannia,
1890; Navahoe, 1916. The wind kept
following as the yachts went over the
pretty easy swells of the sea across the
channel. AT last accounts the pair were
running wonderfully level. A despatch
from Cowes says yachtsmen there expect
the finish to be made about o'clock to-
morrow morning.

How long is the injustice to continue?
I have an abiding faith that upon the
issues which are before us and which
divide us, the right will triumph by the
Judgment of the tribunal of the people.
Both parties cannot be right. have a
confidence unshaken that upon every
issue presented by the Democratic party,
the Republican party is right. It's
triumph, however, will not come without
effort and energy. We learned last year
that faith withoutworks did not win the
victory. LIDO not appeal for party
triumph merely, but for cause which

upon the principles and policies for
which the Republican party stand-pro-

and honest ballot. These secured and

settled upon the labor and enterprise of

STOLE OVER A MILLION.
How Francis H. Weeks Robbed widows
and Orphans and Then Ran Away.

New York, September a12.-The news
in Costa Rico pending extradition pro-
ceedings excites much interest here.
Many curious features appear in the
record of the career of Francis H. Weeks,
who began his business life-as a lawyer
in 1868, and ran away from the officers
of the law early last May. AS, lawyer
he won himself reputation and good in
come, but his talents lay always in the
way of doing unusual things and engi-
neering large enterprises He came to
be known as a "hustler" and pro-
moter,n and he has hustled" his own
good name out of all the clubs OF which
he was member and promoted into
a hole in the ground the large total OF
the funds with which he was intrusted.
His genius was for large operations, and
his downfall has been correspondlngly
weighty and disastrous.
About ten years ago Weeks began the
career of reckless speculation, in which
he has now wrecked his own life and de-
the fortunes of:people who trusted him.
His name became familiar as a great
authority on schemes of land improve
ment in the West, particularly in Wiscon-
sin. He received money to invest and
the investors found high interest coming
to them. W T.
His office. was besieged by persons
anxious to make him guardian of their
money, exacting no security whatever.
There seemed to be no limit to the sums
which ne could have to invest if he
chose.
He had Joined the law firm of De
Forest & Weeks in 1868, and as member
Il, l.. oh o+e.r- x1yrS OF
unquestioned. He picked and chose his
.,ients. and selected women OF his own
family and others whom he had reason
to believe would never ask. for an ac-
counting so long as they got more or less
regularly such sums of money as repre-
sented the interest on their Investments.
At first, there is reason to believe, Weeks
invested these trust. funds SO that they
really paid good interest, but with the
broadening of his schemes came the reck-
less misappropriation.
All told something like 81, 300, 900 is the
sum of Wecks's stealings.
When Weeks's papers were oyerhauledl
the fact became apparent that he was q
clumsy and careless thief. 1t seemed
that he had kept no account books ex-
cept check books and letter books, and
tumbled with securities of undoubted
value were bundles of wildcat securities
and piles of worthless deeds. 1t is utter
ly impossible to reckon the value OF what
he has left, because some of the property
which now appears worthless may ap-
preciate in value under skillful manage
ment, and thus bring a small percentage
of value to his creditors.
The great bulk of what he stole was
the property of widows and orphaned
children, who had trusted him because
he was Mr.. Weeks, said to be fine lawyer
and a great fnancier. Weeks has a wife
who is believed to be with him now. He
has been prominent figure in fashion
able society here and lived like million
aire.
The Portland daily press., 1893-09-13

New York, Sept. 12.-The 32nd annual
meeting of the National Board of Steam
Navigation began today at the Fifth
Avenue hotel. Capt. F..A. Churchman
who is chairman of the board, in his re-
port presents several very vigorous
opinions, and calls upon the board to
take immediate and decisive action on a
great many questions of vital interest to
owners of ocean craft. The present sys-
tenn of night and fog signals Captain
Churcbman declares is very inefficient
and the cause of many of the great fatal
ties of today. So far as the fog signals
are concerned, he says that no practical
mariner of the day has any confidence in
them, and in the time of fog if he wants
to be perfectly safe the only thing to do
is to stop. He suggests that every yes-
sci be thoroughly equipped with pow
erful electric lights and an electronome-
ter. or, if this isssinlpracticable, he furth-
er suggests polarized lights, on which
he claims fog has very little effect. He
states that the time has come for scien-
lists to take charge of these signals and
perfect them. He recommends also
that the board take vigorous action in
the matter of amending the present laws
in reference to issuance of process from
United States courts upon libels filed
against vessel property. Vessels are
sometimes attached in the middle of a
trip, causing loss to the shippers and to
the owners of vessels.
In the matter of the removal of the
numerous wrecks in mid ocean that
endanger passing vessels, Captain
grows slightly sarcastic. He says that
now the numerous war ships of the
United States navy have nothing to do
but participate in expensive naval re-
views and run back and forth between
this and other ports, occasionally dropping
a few blue coats in some port where they
proceed to raise a row and give the
United States bad name. In place of
this, he says, the big boats should be
useful as we'll as ornamental. In other
words that they should be delegated to
either tow these wrecks into port or de-
stroy them so that they will no longer be
menace to passing vessels. The report
also advocates in strong language the
passage of the bill introduced in Congress
in 1889 providing for the establishment
of marine board and board of COM
merce, which Captain Churchman
claims, will be of inestimable value to
owners of vessels. He condemns Senator
Frye's bill providing for such a board as
he says they are not given enough power
to fully revise and perfect certain regula-
tions to be submitted afterwards to the
Secretary of the Treasury for his ap-
proval.
A great deal of new business will come
before the board and they will probably
remain in session two dayS.
This afternoon the board discussed
