VALLEJO, June 1.-The coast defense
vessel Monterey is still awaiting the YER
dict of her judges. This evening Captain
Howisen convened the Board of Naval
Inspectors for the purpose of making a
final inspection, he machinery, turrets
and boilers. inspection lasted the
greater port # the day, much time be-
ing devote the boilers. A thorough
inspecti nd tests of both the Scotch
and v boilers resulted in finding
neitr leak, bulge nor strain, though
the IN pressure during the trial regis
teIv~4 over 100 pounds to the inch. The
same inspection was made of the aux
iliary machinery, every part of which
was found in excellent condition. Con-
siderable time was spent in making an
examination OF the turrets, but here,
like the other parts inspected, all was
found satisfactory.
The board in making the report have
pronounced the Monterey to be all that
the contract required. In this report,
however, they have made some minor
suggestions, which, if approved and exc
cuted, will result advantageously. These
suggested alterations apply to the mech
anism of the turrets and ammunition
hoists.
The board concluded its labors late
this afternoon and signed report which
is now en- route to Washington. Each
member of the board was seen by an
Associated Press correspondent and
when asked the purport of their report
said: The Monterey is all right-second

Naval advices from Port Townsend re-
port the Behring Sea patrol fleet having
gone north several days ago. The various
ships of the fleet are reported to be short
handed and badly in need of seamen, the
scarcity of which will greatly hamper the
commanding officers in the execution of
the orders and in the manning of cap
Iured sealers. Captain Ludlow, who
commands the Behrmg Sea fleet, has
made a requisition to the Secretary
of the Navy, requesting ships of his
squadron to be supplied with neces-
sary seamen at the earliest opportunity.
There being no available recruits at the
Mare Island naval rendezvous, il is more
than probable that draft of men will be
sent by rail to Port Townsend from the
New York rendezvous.

Amended Answer Filed In the Worlds
Fair Injunction Suit.
CHICAGO, June 1.-Justice Brewer of
the United States Supreme Court sat on
the bench this afternoon and listened to
arguments in the Worlds Fair injunction
suit.
Attorney Walker filed an amended
answer on behalf of. the exposition, in
which it was claimed that while the ex-
position received after March Sd some of
the souvenir coins provided for in the
Act of August 5. 1892, it denies that it
had full knowledge of the passing of the
Act on March Sd, except such knowledge
as might be derived from the publication
of the Act. 1t also says the defendant
not being informed of the construction
that would be put upon the Act by the
Secretary of the Treasury, in the latter
part of March or early in April com
municated with him requesting an in
depreciation. The answer was not re-
ceived until late in April, when the Sec
retary forwarded copy of the opinion
of the Attorney-General. This advised
the Secretary to withhold $50, $50, part OF
the appropriation of the Act of August.
1892, and in pursuance of 1t defendant
has not received the sum.
Later in the day attorneys for the Gov
ernment submitted certified copy of the
minutes of the meeting of the Directors
on March 22d last, in which the notifica-
ton from the Secretary of the Treasury
was referred to committee. 1t was
claimed that the acceptance of the money
by the exposition after it had knowledge
of the construction placed upon the Act
stopped it from getting up plea of vio-
lation of the contract.
Ex-United States Solicitor General AL
drich spoke first for the Government.
Mr.. Walker followed for the exposition.

ment when the court adjourned.

vote of the laymen was II to 10, with four
