The New Commerce Destroyer Column
bia Proves a Decided Success.
BOSTON, Nov. 1.-THE new commerce
destroyer Columbia was sent on pre-
liminary trial over the Government
course from Cape Ann, Mass, to Cape
Porpoise, Maine, to-day under a forced
draught. She developed speed of 22.S7
knots per hour, and under natural
draught 20.2 knots. The official trial will
take place next Tuesday. when, it is
thought she will easily make % knots,
and earn a premium for her builders,
William Cramp q Sons of Philadelphia,
close on to $4,000 The length of the
course was 1897 knots. and it was COW
cred in four hours and eighteen minutes,
which includes tWenty-one minutes ex-
pended in the turn, the fastest time ever
made by an American ip-of-war, and
when the exhaustiveness of the test and
length of course are considered, the boat
is unsurpassed by the navies of the world.
Edwin Cramp was jubilant when an
Associated P1esS reporter greeted him.
Said he: 1.-THE Columbia has exceeded
my utmost expectations. She proved
herself a marvel. | am delighted at the
manner in which she reeled off the knots,
and especially her performance under
in the entire proceeding, and the engines
are marvels of perfection. l expect she
will do as well, if not trifle better, on
her official trial"
Cattle Shipments From Montreal.
MONTREAL, Nov. 14.-Steamshp men
and exporters say the seasons business
has been very disappointing. Freight
has been lower than usual, and even now
cattle space is offered freely at % shillings
a head against so shillings at the open
ing OF navigation. Even at this low rate
some difficulty is experienced in filling
the space of the remaining steamers. Up
to date there have been shipped S3, 632
head of cattle, against 9S, 353 for the same
period last year. According to exporters
heavy shipments of ranch cattle saved
the trade from being dismal failure this
year.
