THE NEW YORK.
ofhciaI Trial Trip of the New Armored
Cruiser.

ofhciaI Trial Trip of the New Armored
Cruiser.
PHILADELPHIA, May 16.-The armored
cruiser New York is on her official trial
trip, with rain falling IN torrents she left
the shipyards of the William Cramp &
Sons company at II o. clock this morning.
Not hitch of any kind attended her de-
parture, and so methodical was every
thing conducted that distinguished Rus
SLAMS who were on the battle ship Indiana
were in ecstasieS OF delight. The cruiser
dropped the lines of the tugs as soon as
her bow was turned seward, and she
proceeded majestically down the river I'M
der her own steam. The salutes OF
passing crafts was returned by the hoarse
whistle of the cruiser and officers
and others on the huge craft waved their
hats IN response to salutation from the
shore. Four hundred persons were aboard
the cruiser, including the naval board OF
inspection appointed by the secretary of
the navy. Edward T. Cramp was super
intending engineer in charge of the trial,
and Captain r.. A. Sargent commanded
the ship.
The New York had been stocked with
provisions for ten days, and has 10, 900
tons of coal aboard. She looks every inch
a fighter, and the fact that she has not
been painted adds TO her warlike appear
ance. With the exception of an added
length of fourteen feet to the three big
smokestacks. the general appearance Of
the cruiser is the same as when she started
on her unofficial trial. The official trial
will consist of two cruises over a meas
ured course between Cape Ann, Mass. !,
and Cape Porpoise, Maine. Should she
maintain the record made on the unof-
fetal trip she will earn premiums of nearly
S200, 200 for the builders.

coast, who has spent much time in China,
and Rev. N. j. Poon Chew, his Chinese
assistant. agree in the statement that the
1rst result of the Supreme Court decision
will be severing of all diplomatic rela-
lions with the United States by China
and this will be followed by driving all
Americans from that country, including
missionaries. It will be impossible to
check this fury OF the Chinese populace
who will almost certainly destroy all
churches and schools and kill many mis-
sionaries. Orders have been issued not to
send any more missionaries and many of
those already there are leaving or are on
their way home. Some are expected
home today.
Rev. Condit has letter from mission
airy who had an interview with Prime
Minister L. Hung Chang, who said all
Americans would be driven out in case
Chinese were deported from the United
States. He believes all commercial rela
tons will also be severed.

the resolution to open the fair without
saying anything about rounding the

THE BEHRING SEA COURT.
Arguments on Behalf of Great
Britain Continue.
A REVIEW OF THE CASE.
Origin and Nature Of the Rights Trans
ferred by Russia.
Sir Charles Russell Contends that the
Seizures of British Vessels in the
Behring sea Were Not Justi-
iable-FOreign Notes.

PARIS. May 16.-Sir Charles Russell re-
sumed his argument today in behalf of
the British case before the Behring sea
tribunal. Sir Charles argued the seizures
OF British vessels in the Behring sea was
not justifable; reviewed at length the
origin and nature OF the rights transferred
by Russia to the United States in 1873.
He claimed that the ukase of 1893, in
which Russia asserted Jurisdiction over
her subjects on all hunting grounds at
the time of the establishment on the coast
of America from the fifty-ffth degree OF
north latitude to Behring strait, thence
southwark to Japan and on to Aleutian,
Kurlle and other islands in all the north
eastern ocean, applied only to Russian
subjects, and the ukase of 1921, in which
the car laid exclusive jurisdiction over
the northwest coast OF America down to
the ffty-frst parallel OF latitude, together
with considerable portion of the oppo-
site coasts of Asia and neighboring seas
to the extent of two Italian miles from
any part of the coast and islands so aD-
propr1ated had, Sir Charles pointed out,
elected earnest protests both from Great
Britain and the United States, and subse-
quent treaties recognized the pretension
of Russia to exclusive jurisdiction over
the waters of Behring sea as untenabIe.

the United States were ordinary property
rights in soil and not in seals.
Sir Charles endeayored to prove from Ian
guage USED between Russia, England and
the United States that Great Britain never
departed from her objection to Russias
claim OF exclusive Jurisdiction in the
Behring sea and the Behring sea was not
a mare ciausum but that all nations had
a right to free navigation in that sea.
Sir Charles incidentally referred to the.
forged interpretations in the Russian
documents to sustain the American case
he said he was sorry if he unintentionally
caused umbrage but he would have to
make further allusion to the forgeries as
not until the forgerfes were discovered

THE SIX COMPANIES.
They Now Want the Law Suspended for
at Least Six Months.


at Least Six Months.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-Secretary Car
Isle received many kilograms today, ask
ing for suspension of the operations OF
che law for at least six months. The best
opinion obtairable on the subject in the
treasury department is that the law is ex-
piici5 on the point of having set the 5th of
May as the last day upon which registra-
ton could be made, and consequently it
is beyond the power of even the president
TO extend this limit.
among the kilograms received by Secre-
tary Carlisle was one from the attorneys
of the Chinese Six Companies, who also
ask FOR suspension of the law. Treasury
officials acquainted with the record of the
six companies during the past three or
four years regard this request coming
from them as rather surprising in cool as
gurance These officials assert that OF
III. 900 Chinese now in the United States
probably one-third have come into the
country illegally, and that the six COM
panies persistently encouraged violation
OF law by furnishing transportation from
China to this country to Cinnamon, sup
plving them with fraudulent certificates
on arrival and taking collateral from
them when they landed in the United
States for moneys advanced for passage.
In fact the Six Companies, tits asserted.
have practically mortgages upon the labor
OF thousands of Chinese for years to come
and If they be now deported in accord
ance with decision OF the Supreme Court.
The Six Companies viii lose hundreds of
thousands of dollars advanced by them to
Chinese immigrants.

A conference between Erastus Wyman

FoRcING COLLECTIONS.
The Six Companies Levy Tax of So Per
Head.

NEW YORK, May 16.-A morning paper
has received authoritative information
that the Six Companies had and still have
agents at work throughout the
country collecting from every Chinaman
on American soil. This collection is in
dependent from the one recently made
openly whose ostensible purpose was the
raising of funds to defray expenses of
counsel in fighting the Geary act in the
courts. The latter collection netted some
thing like $50, 900.
The present collection is being secretely
made. Contributors are not told to what
ends the money will be devoted
Americanized Cinnamon who are in
business in the neighborhood of Mott
street and who long ago threw off the
yoke of the Six Companies said everyone
of his compatriots in this city have re-
ceived an order to be ready to contribute.
Who is to act as collector is not yet told
but when this person appears he will find
Mott street ready with its money.

TIE HOME RULE BILL.
Several Amendments Onered and Rejected
by the Commons.

by the Commons.
LONDON, May 16.-The commons re-
sumed consideration of the Irish home
rule bill in committee today. Hon. st.
John Broderick moved to amend the bill
so as to empower the crown in response
to an address by the imperial parliament.
Prime Minister Gladstone opposed the
amendment. He said just as the acts of
the British legislature are subject to re-
straint through the Intervention of the
crown, so the acts of the Irish legislature
would be subject to restraint on Interven-
ton OF Victoria.
Balfour suggested that final decision on
the point be deferred until later stage in
the bill, but the amendment was lost.
The house declined to agree to an adj
iournment OF the house over Derby day.
Sir Henry James moved an amendment
that s'the supreme power of the imperial
parliament shall remain undiminished by
any proviso in the home rule BILL"
Gladstone declined to consider the
amendment but eventually agreed to ac-
cept it on condition that its place in the
bill be determined by the government.
The amendment was then approved.

Navel Circles in Washington Believe That
Conflict Will Come.
NEW YORK, May 16.-A Washington
special to the Post says: "The outlook fo-
a war with China is now regarded in
navalcircles as not unfavorahle. 1t is be-
lieved the emperor will resent the con-
clusion reached by the Supreme Court,
and will issue decree enforcing strict
rules against the entry of any more
Americans into China and probably or
dering the removal OF our missionaries
out of his territory under pain of lore
IDLE deportation. Meanwhile there is
danger of an instruction of the
Chimes against white immigrants,
which the Imperial authorities will be
unable to check. These, taken together
with the outbreaks which an attempt to
enforce the Geary law on our west coast,
will bring about, it is thought will put
the two nations on such footing as to
make war inevitable. The decision is a
great blow to the Chinese legation here,
where it had been hoped down to the
last moment that the act would be de-
clared unconstitutional -

REoRGANIzING THE CoMMIssIoN.

The President Absorbed with the Chinese
Question, Hence Utah Matters Delay.
WASHINGTON, May 16.-[special. i
The prevailing opinion here among con-
gressmen and public officials generally is
that the Geary law is not to be enforced
until after Congress meets, In fact,
without funds to deport the Chinese, the
government can do nothing else. The
embarrassing question is giving the pres
ident so much concern that Secretary
Smith has not yet had time to confer with
him regarding the commission and other
Utah matters.

estate, has filed schedule. The total
value of assets is put out at 1924, 254, as
against Harkinson's scheduled total of
81, S77, 7S8, discrepancy of 81, S53, 534
The explanation is that the bulk of the
securities originally scheduled were by
pothecated previous to the failure.
In the matter of the Sioux City Dressed
Beef and Canning company S assignment,
Ell. j. Taylor as assignee also filed an
amended schedule of assets which places
the total valuation of available property
at $3S, 257, as against the assignee's valu-
alton of 1886, 1893, discrepancy of S797.
GAL. The difference in valuation in this
case is also attributed to the hypotheca-
cation of securities, large amounts of
which were hoated by three defunct union
