Tho Armorcd Cruiser New York Breaks
the Record.
On the 22nd the new armorcd cruiser New
York was tested ms to speed and made mag

A dispatch from Boston gives the details OF
the trial as follows
At 1880 sharp all hands were called 10 get
the cruiser under way, and just as eight bells
were sounding by the fishing feet near by the

headed for the open sea. She moved of at
au easy pace of about seventeen knots, with
her engines making ninety revolutions to
the minute. Gradually she warmed up to the
work, however, and by the time the Vcsuvius
was in sight the cruiser was going over TWEEN.
ty knots, with her engines spinning around
about 100 turns to the minute. A perfect
lotilla Of fishing smacks awaited the big
cruisers coming, and they looked aghast at
the great column Of water which she threw
up in front of her cutwn,cr
The little village Of Gloucester was of the
port beam at o'clock. Twenty-Five minutes
later red flag was broken out at the port
yard arm and the New York went over the
line, making 1872 revolutions per minute. The
steam pressure then was l6j pounds to the
square inch and the vessel was working n
trlfc over twenty knots. In few minutes
the revolutions jumped up to I55 and the
steam to 10 pounds, both of which were held
there throughout the entire trip.
And now the great cruiser increased her
speed at every jump. The Nina was passed
Mt o:id, the bennington at 1910, and the
Fern, the halfway mark, ut 1921. Then
came the tug Fortune at i0:ii, the Leydcn ut
II; Os, and finally the historic old Kearsarse
at II ~. The rigging OF the corvette was
black with men, who cheered the warship as
she passed.
A = neat turn was made and the race back
seer the course began. Al II "a the Kear-
sarge was OF the starboard beam, with the
New York headed TO the southwark. The
Leydcn was passed AZ Ia:it, the Fortune NJ

which was steamed over twice. On the first
run the speed was 2os3 knots aud on the
second el.35 knots, the difference being due
To the tide, which was agaIns, the vessel on
Its trip north. The average Of these speeds
gives 2l.09 knots. On the whole the days

CAN'T ENFORCE 1T.

The Government Has No Money to De.
port the Chinese.
Tho Chinese question occupied the entire
attention Of the cabinet at Its meeting on the
18th. Before the cabinet meeting Chief Jus.
tioe Fuller, who dissented from the decision
Of the Supreme Court, called at the White
House and had brief talk with tho Presi.
dent. Subsequently the chief justice had 40
Interview with Secretary Gresham.
1t Is understood that the conclusion reach.
Cd by the cabinet was that the law could not
b enforced for the reason that there was no
money available for that purpose Tho act
only carries an appropriation Of t10O, 900.
Secretary Carlisle showed that not more than
SIC, 900 OF that sum remained. II was estl-
mated that It would cost to deport all the
Chinese now In the country who have not
complied with the law moro than 5000, 900.
One prominent member Of the cabinet, who
10 regarded a. q man Of great force and
strength Of character, made the broad asser.
tion after the session was over that the law
was nothing short Of 4 political scheme on.
acted for political effect, (hs said, in fact,
something about "demagogy''), and he intl.
mated that there had been o general hope
among his associates that the court would
have held It to be unconstitutional.
II Is evident that the administration was
surprised by the decision and that the sltus-
tion lsvcry perplexing. With the constItu-
tionallty Of the law settlcd,it 10 embarrassing
not to be able to enforce It, but In the ab-
scncc Of money for the expenses Of deporting
the Chinese, there secms to DO nothing that
can be done. II the Chinese would simply
f..Jg, the situation and comply with
with the law IL would simplify matters,
but the impression 10 that most OF them will
rot do this, but will remain as long as posi-.
bic As to the expense Of enforcing the law,
1t Is not by any means sure that II Congress
werc In session the money would be appropri-
atcd.
The effects Of the Chinese decision arc far.
reaching and involve, according to the view
OF many diplomats md naval officers, tho
severance OF our diplomatic and commercial
relations with the Chinese empire. They are
firm In the belief that the Celestials will re-
taliate In kind against the United States In
the event that the unregistered Chinese are
driven Unfortunately out of the country.
This is an extreme view Of the situation, but
that 1t Is not regarded altogether as an i'm
probability is evidenced by the fact that
naval officials are considering the question in
connection with the reorganization Of the
American squadron In Chinese waters.

severe Storm Mt PIttsburI Caused
Much Damage.
AT $3.50 o'clock Saturday afternoon Pitts
burg and vicinity was visited by the most
violent ha!lstorm ever known. The effect
was most disastrous to life and property.
Heavy black clouds suddenly obscurcd the
light OF the sun, while the air became op-
pressiycly hot. Following the terrific electric
flash came the crash and roar OF thunder,
shaking the very earth. Before man or
beast could seek cover, the delugo of Ice
came in nil Its intensity, and for five minutes
there was a war OF the elements most tcrrfy-
Ing.
Telephone and telegraph wires were pros
trated In every direction. Electric and cable
cars were stopped by broken wires or debris
choking the conduits and for time traffic
was suspended
In the east end Of Pttsburg and upper
wards Of Alleghaney City nearly every win
dow glass on the south sides of the buildings
was shattered, while all over both cities, sky
lights, greenhouses, private and park con-
scryator!cs, were shattered and foliage ruin
ell. In the Phipps Conservatory In schcnley
park over 5000 lights of glass were broken.
Entertainments were in progress at all OF
the thcaters. AT the opera.housc and BJou
theatcrs serious panics were narrowly ayerted
and several women tainted from fright. The
singing pelting of the hail caused number
OF serious accidents by frenzicd horses that
broke away from their drivers. Twenty head
OF horses, some Of them valuable animals,
are known TO have been killed In Pitts
burg, either By collision or becoming cntan-
gled in electric wires. John Downcy, the
driver Of one team, was dragged several
squares and fatally hurt. Michael Dunn,
aged II, was almost elecirocuted by stepping
on an electric light wire on Second avenue.
Two funeral professions were broken up by
the terror OF the horses.
The damage TO garden and other crops was
very great.
