THE MONTERREY AT SEA,
The Trial Trip Affirmed to Have Beez

The Trial Trip Affirmed to Have Been
Successful
NEW York, March 23.-1rvinR M. Scott,
vice. president and general manager Of the
Union Iron works. of San Francisco, says
the published attacks that have been made
upon the company regarding the condition
Of the new coast defense vessel Monterey
are untrue. Scott makes a statement. Of
which the following il part over his own
signature: "The story as published in the
east is absolutely false. Tho Monterey
had two ttials and the pitch of her screws
was altered and everything done which was
required to make her q success. She ex-
hours, and during tho last two hours, ow-
ing to the inability to keep the circular
CRATES in the coil boilers in as good condi-
tion as the Scotch boilers the steam pres
sure fell off 30 that she averaged less than
was required. a
''The statement about all further trial
trips being called off is absolutely false.
and the Monterey lies at the navy yard in
per feet condition ready to go to sea at any
time 80 far as the machinery is concerned.
In regard to the navy department provid-
ing the Monterey with tubular boilers it 10
not true. In fact. the Monterey was de-
signed to have two Scotch and four tubular
boilers OF the type which proved best upon
the experimental trial. 1t is asserted that
eye witnesses give the fncts as published.
This is another malicious lie. The official
reports show the steam pressure and the
variations for every fifteen minutes during
tho entire trial. We challenge the romancer
who makes these assertions to produce his
eye witnesses. For any such authority we
promise him Il handsome bonus, as i know
We can prove him to be Il liar"

New YonK, March 23.-The Allan steamer
Pomeranian, which left this port March Is
for Glasgow. WAS disabled at sea. The
news was brought by the Red Star steamer
Beigeland. from Antwerp. Capt. Ehof
says he met the Pomeranian early Oh the
morning of the 21st. The Allan liner was

of the Belgeland was changed and as she

could not take her in tow. 1t was blowing
fierce northeast gale and there was an
ugly toss to the sea. The BelReland did
not remain longer in company with the
disabled craft.
When they parted company the Pome.
canvass set. She was anything but steady
in ths heavy ssa. The position of the yes

Ehotf says his reason for not towing the
disabled vessel was that the
rules OF his company forbid
1t. His statement is ridiculed in
shipping circles. The Pomeranian was
formally the Grecian Monarch. This is hel
first eastward trip since she was struck by
a hurricane. February 4. which resulted in
killing her captain and drowning eleven ot
her passengers and crew. He commando,

fire 81 read rapidly through the halls and
hundreds of people congregated and at
tempted TO rescue those who were in the

turn in fire alarm, and 1t was at least half

VIII Have to be Thrown Ont.

WASHINGTON, March 23.-After ten min
utes, without transacting any business of
interest, the senate went into executive
session. After spending three-quarters of
an hour in executive session the doors were
opened and the senate adjourned till Mon
day. The republican members at once
went into caucus to consider the course of
procedure on the question of reorganizing
of the senate elective officers. BY practi-
cally unanimous vote the CAUCUS decided to
reject all offers of comp:omise, and con-
test reorganization to the end.
The caucus was largely attended but of
short duration. Those in favor of con-
testing the proposed organization were
largely in the majority and the vote taken
was decisive and it is probable that at the
next executive session an effort will be
made to settle the matter behind closed
doors. and that failing the fight will be
transferred to the open session.
