Miles an Hour.
SEA CHOPPY AND WIND WEST

BOSTON, Nov. 1.-THE United States

roads at am, bound for Rockport to start
on her official trip to Cape Porpoise and re-
turn.
The naval vessels connected with the
trial of the Columbia sailed early this morn
ing to take up their positions along the
course. Several steamers carrying sight
seers went out by Thatchers Island and
hundreds of people from Gloucester were on
the south side of the cape to see the cruiser
when she passed.
A special from Rockport states that the
Columbia has been sighted returning and
has evidently abandoned the trial trip for
today.
Details of the Run.
LANDS END, ROCKPORT, Mass, Nov.
l6.-The see was little choppy this morn
ing for the Columbia's trial trip. The
wind was west and blowing twenty five OF
thirty miles an hour. A slight roll was
coming in from the south. making a cross
sea, and the atmosphere was as clear as a
bell The temperature was little uncom-
Portable for the spectators. The contrast
between this and the day the New York
made her run, when the spectators lay
around in the grass and waited for the re-
turn, was marked.
AT $40 a. m. the Columbia could not be
made out, but there were q number of ex-
curslon steamers coming down for the start
FROM this point of observation everything
seemed to be in readiness for the Column

They came up this morning at an early
hour. At $40 the Columbia could be made
out coming point off the shore, apparently
bearing down for flying start past the
gateway of her course.
At $50 she was of Eastern Point, about
two miles outside. but no red starting flag
could be seen. She was evidently recon-
noitering, trying the weather to see If it
was advisable to start. At $40 1t looked as

AT 9:i6 she made off to sea-
AT 1OS she returned and crossed the
line at 1O:43 with the red flag up
AT lo:5S she passed the station four miles
from the Dolphin. She made the most
magnificent spectacle as she crossed the
line. She passed the first two stations. 10. IS
miles. In twenty minutes. At IL 10 she went
out of sight.
The wind was exactly northwest At

Mr.. WILLIS AUTHORITY,
Orders Said to Have Been Sent to Com
modore Irwin
Authority Granted the Minister to
Command the Naval FOrces-An
Extraordinary Provision.

In anticipat ton of the condition OF affairs
which would arise should the provisional
government give Mr.. Willis his passports
the administration adopted the extraordi-
nary course of providing him with an indie
pendent authority to command the naval
forces of the harbor of Honolulu Under
ordinary rules of International law Mr. VIII
lis would not be minister if his passports
were given him by the provisional govern
ment, and he would have no authority to
call on the naval forces of this country for
any purpose whatever
To guard against this contingency orders
to the commanding officer of the naval
forces were given him, signed by the Presi-
dent OF the United States, directing the
commanding officer to obey any orders com
ing from Mr.. Willis. regardless of his Off
cial relation to the Hawaiian government

CASHIER MAY RETIRED.
He Made the Bank of England Lose
Heavily on Bad Investments.

LONDON, Nov. l6.-Owing to the re-
ported irregularities in the management of
the Bank OF England several cases have
occurred where refusals have been given
to cash Bank of England notes bearing the
autograph of Frank May. late chief CASH
Ter of the bank. Mr.. May was involved. it
was said, in the operations of the firm of
Coleman & May. the junior member of
which is the of Mr. May.
The firm got into trouble and the gov
errors of the Bank of England decided that
their cashier had better retire from their
employ.
BOSTON, Nov. 1.-THE Herald's London
correspondent cables the following regard
ing the trouble in the Bank of England:
Another sensation has burst upon the
financial world involving no less an insti-
tuition than the Bank of England Some
days ago IL was publicly announced that
Chief Cashier F. May of the Bank Of Eng
land had resigned his post after twenty
years of service, and would retire on Il PEN
sion literally voted by the directors
1t now appears that Cashier May, so
am informed, not only retires, but his resig-
nation was demanded by the directors. and
no pension is given him for the reason that
he has involved the bank in a heavy loss.
The cashier was intrusted with almost alb
solute power in making investments. A
short time since the directors found cause
to question the soundness of his judgment
winch was SuDJeCtlHR the DdHk 10 uHaCCuS-
toned loss. They voted to retire him on a
half pension.
After a further investigation of the nature
of his investments they decided to retire
him peremptorily and refused to pension
him. 1t seems that this officers son was
chairman or leading director in some OF
the so-called trust companies, of which so
many have gone to the wall during the
last twelve months, revealing a lamentable
state of financial unsoun 1ness. In the
companies in which his son was SO deeply
interested, the cashier of the Bank of Eng
land invested large sums of the bank
money by virtue of the discretionary pow
err intrusted to him.
The collapse of the companies swamped
these investments of the Bank of England s
money. The amount is not yet definitely
known, but am told that 1t is not less than
81, 100000 and it may possibly be s2,000O0O
or S3,OOOOOO. One of my informants whose
word is an authority in this CITY, says he
believes the Bank of England has lost sew
eral hundred thousand pounds.
The cashier has been summarily removed,
but the bank probably has no means of pro-
ceedng against him, because there is no
Indication of dishonesty on his part, but
only of exceeding bad judgment and it is
said he acted within the limits of his au-
thority.

THE NEXT NEWS
from Honolulu Will Come by the
Australia, Possibly Tomorro

NO more news from Honolulu is expected
before Saturday. when the steamship Ans
laNa Is scheduled to arrive at San Fran
cisco. There is great anxiety to hear from
the Islands as soon as possible and IL is
possible that arrangements have been made
to expedite the trip of that steamer so as
TO have her arrive a day earlier. or by to-
morrow night at the latest. Naval officers
familiar with the capacity of the Australia
say that it would not even be necessary 10
hasten the departure of the steamer to Sc
cure this result for if the officers of the
vessel were disposed to force the ship she
could make the run in about five and a half
days II is principally a matter of coal
consumption, meaning of course greater
expense. So if the Australia sailed at noon
last Saturday she NAV reach San Francis
co even before midnight tomorrow. There
Is no prospect of any important dispatches
reaching the Timed States by the gun
boat Adams. one California dispatch in
Inmates. for she is one Of the slOwest tubs
In the navy and the ordinary mail steamer
could cross and return before she could
make the trip one way.

GEN. JOHN c. BLACK
May Be the Democratic Candidate for
Mayor of Chicago.

Gen. John c. Black, Congressman-at-la large
from Illinois, left Washington last night
for Chicago. A rumor has been current in
the past few days that Gen. Black will be
put forward as a candidate for nomination
by the democrats for mayor of Chicago at
the. coming municipal convention in that
city. Prominent Chicago men now in the
city are inclined to doubt the prospects of
success Of Gen. Blacks nomination upon
the ground that he has not been citizen
of Chicago very long and has never been,
II is alleged, identified with municipal poll
tics to any degree.
1t is said that the fight for the mayorslty
nomination will be a very hot one, and that
owing to the strong republican following
in Chicago, the democratic leaders will feel
compelled to put forward a man whose
Identification with the city and its politics
is likely to bring out the strongest possible
democratic vote.

ALLIANCE, Ohio, Nov. 16.-When the
news of the murder of Birdie Baugh spread
about the city yesterday morning feeling
was very intense. AS the day wore on
and 1t was found that the murderer would
live the excitement grew in intensity until
the mob only needed leader and an op-
portunity to do bloody work.
Little groups began gathering about town
and the officers, taking alarm, telegraphed
Sheriff krider of Canton to come over
and rescue the prisoner. as they feared
their ability to protect him.
The sheriff arrived at 10 p. m. So threat
ening had become the situation at this time
that the guard was reinforced by calling
out the members of company K,
eighth regiment Ohio National Guard.
The soldiers were stationed at their
ance Of the armed men did not dis
courage the would-be lynchers in the least,
and II was decided to remove the prisoner
to the county Jail at once. He was taken
to the depot in an ambulance surrounded
by the soldiers.
The crowd followed, and as the depot
platform was reached, rushed on the guard
with the avowed determination of secur-
ing the prisoner. There was a brief strug-
gle. and then the mob was driven back
and Davidson was put on board the train
for Canton, where he was safely lodged in
jail His condition was much improved
this morning and his prospects for speedy
recovery are good.
