SANTA BARBARA, Cal, Dec. 15.-The
new cruiser Olympia in the trial test in
the channel to-day did not equal the ex
pectltions OF her builders, but still far
exceeded the requirements and estab-
lished a record for an Sc knot course of
about 21.67, Much to the surprise of
every one the day was nearly perfect.
The heavy wind of last night left no
bad effects, at least at this end Of the
course. The ocean was like a big mill
pond, only rufiled by the big cruiser
herself as she spec through the water,
the spray over the bow until
the decks were drenched. The reason
why the cruiser die not equal her pre-
viou- record is an unexplained mystery.
The machinery worked perfectly and
there was not the slightest break. The
time OF Il 81 is liable to correction on
account of currents, which may result in
the Olympia's favor. The draft is four
inches greater than requirements, which
will also be counted in the first calcu-
lations, which will not be made for sew
eral days. The maximum speed is esti-
mated at 2205.

Resources of Washington.

The forests of Washington contain to-
day 41O.333, $4,000 feet of standing
timber, which covers 25,588,512 acres.
This exceeds all the available timber
now standing IN the Eastern and Sou
thern states combined by 56,873,0O0,0O0
feet. The value of Washington's tim
Der at the low stumpage value of So
cents per 1000 feet is over $3.50, 100000.
The sGumpage value of timber in Mime
sofa and Wisconsin, two great lumber
states, is respectively $2.S7 and $3.50
per /, 90 feet. Washington contains
today one-fourth of all the available tan
bark in the United States, and the tan
min extract made from the hemlock bark
of Washington and Oregon has been
proved to be the strongest in the world.
The tanbark of Pennsylvania, the great
tannln producing state, will be entirely
exhausted within the next six years.
The value of tannin extract as an article
of commerce can be appreciated from the
statement that Germany alone impor-
ted 100000 pounds of this extract in
1892. The numbering industries of
Washington today support one-third of
the population of the state. LAUNDERING
is but one OF the many resources of
Washington and Oregon capable of
great development. The Industries of
these two states are not dependent On
booms for their development, and the
growth Of the business Of the north
west in the future will be even more
rapid than it has been during the last
few years,

before the Christmas adjournment, has
not been reported To the house, and Mr..
Cleveland's man, Wilson, has become so
utterly demoralized that he no longer
makes promises as to when it will be re-
ported. The democrats on the commit
tee on ways aud means have made nu-
merous changes in the bill in the inter
est Of industries that happened to have
a strong democratic pull" notably the
brewers; and the end is not yet. The
democrats opposed to various sections
Of the bill have succeeded in their eff
forts to have the bill submitted to a
democratic caucus, Notwithstanding the
efforts of Mr., Cleveland and the admin
istration democrats to defeat them. The
holding of the caucus is now certain,
but it rests with Representative Holman
of Indiana, chairman of the democrat
cancus, to say when it shall be held
and the administration men are trying
to get him to defer calling it until after
the bill Is reported to the house, believ-
ing that the changes will then be fewer
Republicans are patiently waiting tc
see what the democrats will do. When
the democrats get through fighting
among themselves the republicans will
open fire on them.

actual expense of supporting the station
for one year amounts to S4,OOO. IL
would seem wise, therefore, to provide a
larger sum for The purchase of animals

Notwithstanding this spacious plea
there will be no increased appropriation,

may hereafter have to shift for them
themselves.

Origin of Lynch Law.

The historical student has discovered
that lynch law began in Virginia, and
that at its inception it was not violent
or mobilize. Colonel Charles LYncL
was a revolutionary soldier, and after
the war ended took up his residence in
Pittsylvania county. He found that
section Of the state infested by bands OF
outlaws, deserters from both armies,
who pundered the inhabitants and sub
jected them to every variety Of insult
and outrage. In order to put stop to
these depredations Colonel Lynch or
ganizeG a body Of patriotic citizens, laid
his plans and captured many of the ban
dts and caused the others to flee from
the country. The captives were tried
separately before jury over which the
colonel presided. The accused were al
lowed to talk in their own defense and
to show cause, if they could, why pun.
ishment should not be inflicted. If
found guilty the punishment was in
ficted on the spot. The prisoners were
frequently let off with severe tiogging,
and capital punishment was not favored
by Colonel Lynch when he could avoid
it.--Review.

New YORK, Dec 1s.--Mrs. Zcllu Mic
olaus is on the ocean, bound either for
England or Germany. She did not sail
on the Hamburg American Packet COM
pany's steamship Normania, MS ut first
announced, but took passage on the
Lain, which sailed for Southampton
and Bremen. With her is her guard
ian,h AL Ruhman. Rullman engaged
berth under the nano of "a. Harris"
and Mrs. Nicolaus appeared on the pas
senger list as Miss Graham"
They were seen on board the Lain
ON Tuesday by Deputy United States
Marshal Bernhnrdt. Mr.. Bernhardt
says the pair had separate staterooms
and that Lawyer Abe Hummel was ut
the dock when the steamer left ana
bade them "bon voyage" Mrs. Nicu-
laus stood on the deck rs the Lain left
her dock, attired in fine raiment and
sealsllin coat which cost ut least $500
and threw kisses to her diminutivc
counselor, who smiled back IN nc
acknowledgement.
Mr.. ilummel will neither confirm ner
deny the statement of Marshal Bern
hardt Gustav Amberg, proprietor Of
Ambcrg's theater in this city, was at
the dock when the Lain sailed and lie
cOrroborates Mr.. Bernhardt. 1t was
stated that Mrs. Nicoaus' suit against
George Gould for $4,000 had been
compromised on Monday for $1,000 in
cash. Mr.. Gould declined to discuss
the compromise story.
1t has come to light that the man
known as Al Ruhman and who las
posed as Mrs. Nicolaus' guardian is
no other than Bert Gray, who became
prominent in Indiana n few years ago
as detective. He was engaged at var
ious times by Pinkerton and by Mooney
& Roland and figured in several rail.
road strikes in Indiana and Illinois.
Ruhman, or Gray, is said to have
been the first love of Mrs. Nicoluus 1t
was he. it is said, who compromised the
case against Christman, the drummer.
who was arrested at Wabash, Ind, for
an alleged assault on Mrs. Ncolaus
when she was u girl of Is and was
known rs Rozella Lytlo. Ruhman is
said to have followed or accompanied
Mrs. Sicolaus in all her travels, nnd it
is understood that it was lie who
worked up the evidence upon which
the Gould suit was based.

contains the instructions issued toi
Minister Willis under date of December;
8. Two points having special bear
ing upon the situation in Hawaii,
are set forth. Minister Willis is my
structed to say to the queen that thei
conditions relative to American amy
nesty must be acquiesced in by her or
he will do nothing. If the queen,
should ask what the United States will
do in the way of restoring her to power
and maintaining her upon her
throne the minister is directed
to reply that the presi-
dent will not authorize the use of the
United States troops either to restora
her or to maintain her upon her throne.
Minister Willis was directed to inform
the queen that the use of troops
could be authorized by act of
congress. Mr.. Willis is then di-
reeted to tell the provisional gov
crnmcnt, should they ask the same
question. that the president will do all
that he can under executive authority
to restore the queen. The distinction
noted between these two answers to
the same question is an absence of the
very important matter of detail as to
what the president can do and will do
under the term executive authority"

SHOT HIMSELF FOR FUN.
A New York Man Puts Two Bullets Into
His Head on a Wager

"A new 1Ofk man futs Two Bullets Into
His Head on Wager.
NEW YORK, Dec 1s.-Thomus Muir
ray, 81 years old, of COG Tenth avenue
shot himself in the head twice on a
wager. He was drinking in saloon
at Forty-third street and Tenth avenue
when Joseph Mulvaney, companion,
showed him u revolver and bousted as
to the distance it would shoot.
81 will bet a glass of beer it will not
shoot through my hend,' said Murray.
81 will take you up" said Mulvaney,
thinking Murray was jesting. Murray
took the revolver, placed it to his right
temple and pulled the trigger. While.
blood was flowing from the wound mude
by the bullet he fired another shot into
his left temple. Mulvaney and the sa-
loonlSeeper Carl Heller, were badly
frightened. but Murray walked calmly
out of the place and to the West Thirty
seventh street station. There he was
locked up on a charge of being drunk
and disorderly, but later nc was taken
to Roosevelt hospital. At the hospital
tho bullets were extracted. They had
glanced upward and had not penetra-
ted the skull.
In the Jefferson Market court MUIR
ray said he had shot himself for fun.
He is apparently none the worse for his
shooting match.

LEO'S ENCYCLlCAL.
Latest Instructions of the Pope of Rome
His Glnrrr,r1,a..

Latest Instructions of the Pope of Rome to
His Clcrgymcn.
BALTIMORE, Md, Dec. lG.-The pope's
latest encyclical, dated Rome, Novem-
ber /, 1898, has been received by Car
dinal Gibbons. In summarizing it the
cardinal sa,d: "Itstrongly recommends
the earnest study of the sacred scrip
lures to clergymcn and students, and
the study of eastern languages, those
in which the text was originally writ
ten, with view to the better under
standing of the text of the scriptures
in order to meet tho objections of adj
yersaries of the scriptures"
Leo XIII eXhorts the priesthood OF
the Catholic church nnd. in particular,
its patriarchs, archbishops and bishops,
to whom the pontifcal is addressed, to
study the bible. Two principal reasons
impel the pope to take this step. The
one is his desire to see this glorious
source of revelation more safely and
more abundantly opened for the
Lords flock" The other is his un-
willingness to tolerate that the same
should in any way be violated by those
who either by impious daring openly
attack the sacred writings or impru-
IDENTITY are scheming new and fallacious
doctrines. He refers his readers to
III Timothy. iii. l7-l7. 'All scripture
is given by inspiration of God and
is profitable for doctrine, for reproof,
for correction, for instruction in
righteousness, that the man OF God
may be perfect, thoroughly furnished
unto all good works"
The encyclical says that this is Gods
intention TO prove by the examples of
Christ and the apostles Jesus. the
writer shows, was in the habit OF ap-
pealing to the bible for his own legiti-
nation and divine origin. In instruct
ing his disciples hc led them to the
same fountain. The writer warns the
preachers of the whole Catholic church
against preferring to use their own
rather than Gods word and wisdom,
and severely inveighs against the
abuse and lack of biblical study and
research.

DAMROSCH DOWNED.

ii. Orchestra Refuses TO Play With AN
Alien Musician.
New York, Dec. 19.-A remarkable
'cene was enacted at Carnegie Music
iall. A large audience was present to
listen to one of the concerts of the
symphony orchestra, of which Walter
oamrosch is the conductor. At 8
,'clocls Mr.. Dumrosch appeared upon
.he conductors stand. lie was to con-
tuct the Lohengrin overture. He
.aised his baton, but there was no re-
'ponse from the orchestra. In aston
shment he looked at his musicians and
.gain waved his baton. Not the slight
EST sound came from the musicians.
Raising his baton a third tune Mr..
oamrosch beat few bars of the over
lure, but the same silence prevailed
among the musicians. A sharp hiss
VAS heard in the front OF the house. 1t
MAS taken up by row after row of seats
ind quickly spread to the galleries.
Turning to the assembly Mr.. DAM
,csch said: Ladies and Gentlemen:
am sorry to say that there will be no
concert tonight My orchestra refuses
20 play for me on account of my 'cellist,
degner; l regret to tell YOU this; re-
yret to tell you the fabric which have
been patiently weaving for years is ru-
ned. | blame no one for these hard
facts. Your money will be refunded
1t the Office during the week"
The trouble was brought about by
;hc trouble which Mr.. Damrosch has
recently been having with the Musical
Protective union. They protested
against the importation of the famous
aiolonccllist, Anton Hegner, who has
aot been in this country sufficiently
ong time to become a member of the
anion. On Friday night Mr.. Damrosch
resigned from the Musical Protective
hnion on account Of the persistence
which the members refused to suspend
he six months rule in Hcgner's case,
md last night, fearing the union would
oe too much for them. the members OF
:he Symphony orchestra decided to fol
ow the unions mandate.
