year that amount will be considerably

down silver mines when the boom col

fortunate in the last forty-fve years,
in which it has opened up the vast

UNCLE SAINTS NEW COMMERCE
DESTROYER.

When the new war ship, the Colum-
bia, which came on to Boston early
last week for her official trial trip, was
being built at the Cramps shipyard *
Philadelphia, the workmen named
her the Pirate. They did so partly be-
cause of her rakish lines, but more
particularly because she was being
constructed to out-sait any cruiser
afloat. She is the only steamship ever
built that can carry coal enough to
sail around the world without stopping
at coaling station. Lightly built and
lightly armed, she resembles exter-
nally an innocent merchantmen, but
in case of need she can deliver fright
full rain of death dealing proiectiles,
and her ightning-li speed can car
ry her in an instant beyond the reach
of vengeful but heavier enemy.
There are only two sea going steam
ships in existence which could escape
her. These are the two new Cunrad
ers, Campania and Lucania, and in
certain conditions IL the Columbia got
after them the race would have a
doubtful ending. The Columbia is 50
feet longer than the New York, six
feet narrower, and her engines are of
4,500 more horse power. She is ex-
pected to develop a speed Of % or %
knots an hour. At an unofficial trip
Wednesday the Columbia made the
unprecedented record Of % 81 knots
an hour, which represent a speed Of
2912 miles an hour.
Saturdays test Of the cruiser Colum
bia came up TO the expectations, the
record for the course being an aver
age of 22.81 knots. Between two of
the buoys speed of 5.31 was reached
and it is thought that an average of
twenty three knots would have been
obtained if water in one of the engine
rooms had not compelled the slowing
down of that engine. The trial proves
the utility Of triple screws, and dem
onstrates that the United States pos
sesses the sWiftest war vessel in the
world. The builders secure a premi
um of $3.50, 900 for the extra speed de-
veloped. The record is made at 22.81
knots, but it is believed that much
faster time can be made when the
machinery has had further use.

whole world To this Government OF
Hawaii Mr.. Blount was commissioned
and so was Mr.. Willis. To attempt to
overthrow even an unjust but recog-
nized government Of friendly power
is a crime; to attempt to overthrow a
righteously organized republic, and
| put in it's place discredited monarchy
is an outrage beyond words to des-
| cribe. To land soldiers to remove
such a Government by force is an act
of war. We do not listen for a mo-
ment to the pretense that it is an act
of PREPARATION; it would be act of vio-
lence and crime. And yet it is just
such an act Of war against a neighbor
ing infant republic, against our own
child that asks to be allowed to come
to it's mother's home, which Mr.
Gresham and Mr.. Cleveland have
planned to commit, and which Mr..
Gresham has publicly defended.
It is difficult to understand how the
Administration has managed to make
such an atrocious blunder. The most
likely OAEIdIdUlOH OIaU Has OOSH SuS
gested brings in a very unhappy per
sonal element. The treaty of annexa-
ton would have been ratified during
Mr.. Harrison's administrat ton, it is
said, if Mr.. Cleveland had not sent
word TO the Democratic Senators ask
ing for delay. 1t is known that Mr..
Gresham was candidate in 1888 for
the Republican nomination for the
Presidency, but was defeated by Mr..
Harrison. Last year, with no good
will to Mr.. Harrison, he went over to
the Democrats. He has not wished
President Harrison's policy endorsed.
We seem to see his hand in the defeat
OF annexation by the Senate last
spring; and it is his blunder which
has almost, if not quite involved US in
war with our own kith and kin. We
believe the protest of the people, and
the Indignation Of Congress, which
will demand an explanation Of such
an unlawful declaration of war, will
defeat the crime and prevent the in
fanny Of it.-Iadepe7ldent.

OF Police Mcmahon from A. G.. Werner
OF Butte, Mont, stating that the muir

was delivered to Attorney General Clark:

with Gov. Fishback upon the matter
and they decided to wire the Butte au-

taking any definite steps. The dispatch
was sen with the governors signature.
No answer had been received up to

of Conway county, has been in this city
several days on this case. Ia an inter

lived in Conway county for "a number of
years. When he left no ono knew what

Fishback and Attorney-G General Clark
think the reported arrest of Clayton's
murderer is Il fake, but they will not
rest until they get at the truth Of the
business. One reason for this belief is
this:

The assistant secretary holes that ac-
crued pensions can be fully paid to grand
children. AS to reimbursement for "last
sickness and burial" the assistant secre-
tary concludes that while only a widow
or minor children of the deceased soldier
can take the accrued pension, the only
person for whom expenses of last sick
ness and burial can be allowed is the sol
der himself. From the date of and
under authority of an opinion by Sole

where the deceased was an impecunirus

CH1CAGo, March 2j.-Phil Mayo of
Cleveland had an idea this morning that
he was going to ''do" Rob Fitzsimmons
when they met tonight in the Second
Regiment armory, but tonight he knows
better. His knowledge came to him
slowly with returning consciousness after
Fitz had knocked him clean out IN the
second round of what would have been
"a four-round contest had Mayo been able
to keep his jaw out of the reach of the
lanky Australian.
1t was the first public appearance of
Fitzsimmons since his famous fight in
New Orleans and the crowd of 5000
welcomed him with cheers when he
climbed upon the platform shortly after
10 o'clock. His first contest was with
Sam Bird of Chicago, who was easily
disposed OF, FitzsimmOns merely using
him to give an exhibition of cleyer duck
ing and sparring. Now and then he
smacked Bird just to touch him up and
before the third round was over Bird
grew dizzy and fell against the ropes.
Tie was caught by Fitzsimmons who
helped him to his corner.
After Bird left the ring Mayo, who
had been training carefully for two
weeks, climbed through III. ropes. He
was in excel ent condition and looked tit
