Successful Trip to the Santa Barbara
Channel.

Channel.
SANTA BARBARA, Nov. 23.-The cruiser
Olympia arrived in the harbor this morn
ing. She first appeared in the channel at
9:l5. She steamed to the eastern end of
the course and turned, going only at a
moderate speed, and came to anchor
about 1880. The officers on board report
a good trip down. There was no effort to
force the speed. The official trial will be
run tomorrow morning over 43-knot
course to Point Conception and return.
HER MACHINERY WORKED WELL.
SANTA BARBARA, Nov. 23.-The trip of
the Olympia from San Francisco was
most successful. The machinery work ed
well, and without a break. When the
Santa Barbara Channel was reached this
morning the cruiser started at the Point
Conception beacons, working the west
ern end Of the official course, over which
she runs tomorrow, and ran east against
current of 40 knots, making 43 knots at
an average speed of 1861 knots per hour
No attempt was made TO show her max
lmum speed or power while going over
the course to-day. AL the officers were
practlced IN routine duties for ito-mor-
rows official trial. The arrangement for
getting the exact revolutions of the en-
gines from the deck at the same instant
that the shore marks are in line proved
very satisfactory, and photographs were
taken of the beacons or shore marks to
show that they were absolutely in line at
the instant the time signals were given

turned from Chicago, where he has been
closing up contracts for the exhibit and
concessions. Mr.. Badlam said the Co.
lumbar Exposition, instead of satisfying
the desires of the public for expositions
of this kind seems to have sharpened the
public appetite in that direction to such
an extent that the Midwinter Fair will
have greater crowds than the most san

DETROIT (Mich.), Nov. 23.-One Of the
worst fires Detroit has experienced in
many years to-day completely destroyed
a five-story building occupied by Edison,
Moore q Co., wholesale dry goods, and
damaged several adjacent buildings,
causing total loss of 100000. Three
men employed by the dry goods firm lost
their lives in the flames, and five others
who are missing are also supposed to have
perished.
The dead are: James Mckay, Bradley
A. Dunning, Ed Genther. Missing:
Edward n. Volt. Patrick Markey, Daniel
A. Baker, Henry Rider. Charles w.
Kirchner.
The fire started at 1890, and in half an
hour the building was completely gutted.
Long before the engines responded two
men were seen on the window-sills of
the fifth story. The crowd shouted,
'Don't jump! Don't jump! There's help
coming" A bale of jute was placed by
the window on which Bradley Dunning
was perched. Driven by the flames
which roared around him, he sprang,
landed on the bale and fell to the side
walk. An ambulance carried him to the
hospital where he died. The fremen
spread net to catch Mckay, who fell
into it. His injuries were such that he,
too, died soon after being taken to the
hospital. Another man was then seen
near the upper window. his strength
apparently gave out, for, after an effort to
raise himself, he finally sank back and
disappeared from view. He is thought
to be Edward Genther.
After the fire it became evident that
Genther, Rider, Volt, Markey, Baker and
Kirchner were missing.
1t is thought the flames started in a lot
of cotton-b batting used for packing.
James L. Edison, senior member of the
firm, said the loss on the stock would be
about $500, 900, well covered by insurance.
John j. Bagley's tobacco works suffered
a loss of $4,000, covered by insurance.
The loss of the Detroit Lithographing
Company is estimated at $4,000; insured.
Friedenberg & Speck, furnishing goods,
were damaged to the amount of $4,000;
insured for S25, 900. The Merchants Hotel
was damaged $1,000. Several other con-
Germs suffered minor losses.
