New LONDON Conn, April 1.-THE
new United States cruiser Detroit made 3
glorious record on her trial trip to-day.
1t had been tedious wait, but it proved
OF great advantage to the builders. The
weather was fine and the water could
hardly have been in better condition,
Inc Detroit started out at Sis with the
Naval Board aboard, and Il:30 was de-
clded upon as the time for the real start.
Up to that time she was kept circling
about in the vicinity of the starting point.
When she finally started the engines
were kept vibrating to their full capacity
for long time.
1t took but 29.l4 minutes to reach the
Bache, which was anchored about nine
miles from the start and the center stake
boat was passed 3l.46 minutes later. In
2S.l7 minutes more she reached the Blake,
about nine miles further on, and 29.I7
minutes later had passed tho boat at the
end OF the course. But 6.46 minutes were
occupied in turning and coming again
upon the course. The run to the Blake
was made in 1923 minutes, then to the
center stakeboat in 1888 minutes, The
Bache was made in ZIP minutes. Next
came the most exciting nine miles of the
whole run, because it was the fastest.
There had been some shaking up of
things on board before, but now every
evidence of speed was multiplied, and
the Detroit flew across the finish line in
25.55 minutes, after passing the last stake
boat at speed of slightly over twenty
knots, or upwards of twenty three miles
per hOur

SAN Francisco, April l7.-Giovanni
Digiani, an Italian glazier residing at
12O5 Stockton street, made a most horri-
BILE attempt upon his life this morning,
and in all probability he will die before
nighttall. Digiani left his home this
morning as usual and started out on his
days labors, carrying his glass and tools
in the customary box on his shoulder.
About ll:50 O'Clock this morning lady
residing in a house on Van Ness avenue,
near Lombard street, heard noise as if
some one were groaning in pain beneath
her residence, and thinking that some
animal had sought refuge there, depu-
tlzed heryoung son to drive it out. The
urchin started on his mission, bat re-
turned in a few minutes and informed
his mother that there was a man living
beneath the house and that he was COW
cred with blood. The neighbors were
soon notified and the men in the neigh
borhood started to get him ont.
The glaZier was lying at full length on
his back, with his head resting on his
box, while around him was a pool of
blood that had run from a number of
gaping wounds in his throat. In his
right hand he still held piece of glass,
covered with blood, with which he had
committed the CHASTITY deed.
The patrol wagon was summoned and
Dlglani taken to the Receiving Hospital,
where the wounds We're examined and
pronounced fatal. He had slashed his
throat in most horrible manner, the
wounds being all the worse from the fact
that they had been made with dirty.
jagged, dull piece of glass. One of the
wounds had penetrated through into his
trachea.
Late in the afternoon he regained con-
seriousness and stated that he had COM
United the rash act because he had grown
respondent over some trouble he had had
with another Italian who resided in the
same house with him.
He said he had arranged the glass in
in his box and then brought his neck
down on the jagged pieces as hard as he
could, after which he sawed his neck
across the glass until he became uncon-
scious from lack of blood.

Bloody Work of a Negro at the Auburn,
y. Y, Prison.
AUBURN On. W, April II. - John
Johnson, known as "the Blue Niger
from Clyde" ran amuck in the broom
shop of the Auburn Prison this morning,
armed with a sharp knife used in cutting
broom corn. He first attacked Charles
Peck, a fellow-convict. Leaving him
dead in his tracks, he next fatally stabbed
Daniel Britton, a convict, and severely
wounded several others. The blade en-
tered Britton's stomach, from the effects
of which he died at 1870 o'clock in the
afternoon. johnson stabbed right and
left while at liberty. The blade of the
knife was broken off during the melee
and cannot be found. He directed
vicious blow at Keeper Mitchell after tho
blade was broken, but did not penetrate
the clothing. The keeper drew a revolt
yer, but just as he was about to pull the
trigger somebody hit his arm and the ball
went wide of its mark. 1t frightened
Johnson into surrenderiDg, however, and
he was taken to the prison Jail.
Peck came to his death from a wound
in his breast, which penetrated his heart.
The autopsy showed a cash in his heart
in which a finger could be inserted. The
cause of the trouble is said to have been
an old grudge helG by Johnson against
number of convicts in the shop. He
made a threat that as soon as Captain
Baker had a day Off he would do up the
shop. Baker was not on duty to-day and
johnson started in early to carry his
threat into execution,

Very Fast Vessel.

New YORK, April 1.-THE Argentine
cruiser, Ninth of July, Admiral Enrique
G. Harvard, Captain Martin Rewards, ar
rived this morning. She was built at
Newcastle and completes to-day her first

she steamed at the rate of twenty-three
and half knots au. hour, hence is the
fastest cruiser afoat. She will take on a
supply of coal at this port and proceed to
Hampton Roads to join the fleet.

Brother to Begin To-day.
SANTA Rosa, April 1.-THE second
trial of Albert Boggs Carriger for the
murder of his brother, William w. Carri-
ger, last summer, begins in Judge
Dougherty's court here tomorrow. Car
riger is son of Nicholas Carriger, one
OF Sonoma County's earliest pioneers.
He killed his brother at the latters home
near Sonoma. Nobody was present when
the shooting took place, and Boggs claims
it was accidental.
He was tried in December, and the jury
found him guilty of murder in the second
degree. \ motion for new trial was
made on the ground that erroneous in
structions had been given the jury, and
it was granted. Carriger has wealthy
relatives in Sacramento, Oakland and
other places, and determined effort will
be made TO clear him.

Vanheest of Chicago and Dannie Russell

the referee gave the fight to Vanheest.

affair was brutal slogging match, and
nothing else up to the end of the sec

CONGRESSMAN MAGUIRg.
He Is Opposed to the Annexation O
the Hawaiian Islands,

the Hawaiian Islands.
CHICAGO, April 17.-Congressman Ma
guire of San Francisco is at the Grand
Pacific on his way home from Washing
ton, where he has been aiding the office
seekers of the Pacific Slope. ''San Fran
cisco has not had her share of positions"
he said in response TO a query. "Iy
opinion is that all Consulships in ports
from which most of the import trade of
San Francisco is shipped should be filled
by men who understand the reuuire-
ments of the office. For instance, what
does farmer from South Dakota know
about the duties of a Consuis office in
say a Chinese port. San Francisco is
built up by her international commerce
and in her growth is also the growth of
the United States"
Talking about the Hawaii question he
said: II have never seen a sound BUSH
ness argument advanced in favor of an
nexation. The whole cry seems to be
based on sentiment, which, if yielded to.
would entail constant outlay that the
Nation can and will expend in other di-
rections. The islands are entirely de-
OH wv sugar AhuuSlIy, anu
under American rule our laborers could
not compete with labor there if the con-
tract system were allowed to continue,
and if it were not where would the sugar
industry be? Another objection to an
nexation is the undesirable class of i'm
migrants it would draw here. There are
hosts of Chinese and japanese laborers
on the islands, and if they were annexed
these people could come here when they
pleased. Another objection is it would
be establishing a dangerous precedent
and would create a source of weakness in
the event of war;

SAN FRANCISCO, April 1.-THE local
delegates to the Transmississippi Congress
met this evening and, after spirited dis
cussion, adopted resolutions in support
of the mining debris bill. Considerable
objection developed to the passage of the
resolutions, on the ground that it was not
compatible with the recent action of the
Legislature in iavoring the Improvement
OF the San Joaquin and Sacramento Riv-
ers. 1t was concluded however that the
two propositions could be reconciled and
favored by the California delegation be-
fore the Congress at Ogden.
