Campania's Great Squirt Beaten by the
Cruiser Columbia.

Boston, Novem ber 16.-The trial of the
United states cruiser Columbia was
started today over the measured course
between Cape Ann and Cape Porpoise
Before fifteen minutes of the four hours
run had been accomplished. Edwin S.
Cramps was compelled to abandon the
race against time because the high
wind had blown the buoys and marking
boats out of position. If the weather
permits the trial will be made Saturday.
In the short run made the cruisers speed
was at a rate of 20 3-4 knots an hour.
Elk act but unofficial figures are given
out in connection with two remarkable
bursts of speed made by the Columbia
during the unofficial run Tuesday. Go
ing up the course on that day, with every
pound of steam in use, the ship made
7.74 knots between the seventh and
eighth buoys in 10 minutes and Z
seconds, or at the rate of "a. 30 knots an
hour On the return the distance be-
tween the same two buoys was accom-
plished in is minutes and 81 seconds, or
at the sate of "a. s5 knots an hour,
Combining these two remarkable bursts
of speed, gives the. Columbia record at
a rate of ID. go knots an hour. The greatest
previons speed on recorde made, by the
Campania, was %. 80 knots in one hour
run. Several little torpedo boats de-
signed for harbor use have on short runs
showed a speed power above 20 knots.

WANTED TO BUY THE LITTLE GAME.
Why John G. Trumb1e of Sandy Creek Is
Sixty Dollars Out.

Boston, November Is. 6.-John C. Trum-
BILE, from Sandy Creek, Me-, arrived a
few days ago and is now $50 poorer >as
the result of bold game put up by
some of his new found acquaintance.
He was in the Eastern station of the
Boston & Maine road yesterday afternoon
when he was approached by young man
who politely asked him if he would tell
him when the next train for Bangor left.
The mention-of the word Bangor made
John interested, as he believed he had
found person who came from Bangor,
place where he was acquainted The
pair struck up an animated discussion.
during which the stranger invited Mr..
Trumble to take drink. The latter ac-
quiesced and then took in a shooting
gallery, where they threw base balls at
the little stuffed manikins on poles.
John threw the balls around for while
and then the supposed owner of the
place brought forth three shells and
little rubber ball, by which he explained
to John that he could make fortune if
he was to take the game down home At
this remark, Trum bio became more in
terested and when the stranger asked
him to put bill down on the board so
that he could see how the game was
played, he did not hesitate, but took out
his roll. All that he had was in $40 bills
and he laid one Of these down on the
counter. "Oh, put down some more, y
said one of the gang in the place, and he
then placed two more of the same
denomination on top of the first one.
One of the fellows lin the place picked
the money up in matter of fact way
and placed 1T in his pocket. Just then
Trumble became excited and exclaimed:
Hold on there, what are you doingsn
The man told him to keep quiet and one
Of them dryly asked him if he had come
there to rob the place. Another one
then said to keep quiet or the police
would arrest them all, when still another
caught hold of John by the arm and
rushed him out of the place Trumble
notified the police. After investigat the
case the police placed the alleged
proprietor under arrest on a charge of
larceny. He gives the name of John G.
Williams. He professed to never have
seen Trumble before, but the latter dis
putes the matter with him. Despite the
arrest of Williams Trumble is still
minus his $50 in greenbacks.

SENATOR FRYE HoNoRED.
Given Portrait of James G. Blaine by
Boston's City Council.

Boston, November 16.-A compliment
tary dinner was given to Senator VIM. P.
Frye at the Parker House this afternoon
at O'Clock by the Blaine Eulogy COM
mittee of the city council. Those who
sat down were Aldermen Flood, Charles
W. Halstrom, Jacob Fottler, John F.
Dever, Councilman Seth P.Smith, VIM.
H. Merwell, WE. Donovan and Clarence
z. Weston, with the guests, Senator
Frye Frye, Il; 3 W; Bmerthromng. Bert John John +; Lee,
James Hilliard, John P. Brawley and
Alvin III. Peters. After the dinner, Alder
man Thomas W. Flood, on behalf of the
City of Boston, presented Senator Frye
with a life size, three-quarter length
crayon portrait of James G. Blaine,
executed by II. W. Berthrong of Airing
ton Heights. On the lower edge of the
heavy oak frame is silver plate bearing
the words, Presented to William p.
Frye, by the Boston City Council,
November 16, 1893."
Senator Frye, in responding, expressed
the opinion that it was one Of the best
portraits OF MI. Blaine he had ever seen.
he said: Gentlemen, could not, if
| would, disguise the fact that this oc-
caslon is grateful to me. Some months
since, when you called me to the duty
of eulogizing Mr.. Blaine, I was filled
with dismay, and serious apprehen-
sion. You were inviting me to leave the
familiar path of political. economic and
commercial discussion to enter new and
untrod. field. The conspicuousness of
the affair, the unexpected and unmerited
honor conferred on me by the Queen
City OF New Enlgand, the personal rela-
tions I bore to this distinguished states
man and extraordinary man, the fact
that eulogisticwords touching his virtues,
his wonderful gifts and his remarkable
achievements had already been ex-
hausted-all those considerations com
bined increased my apprehensions and
maagnified my self ssdistrust. But the ad-
parently sincere and certainly enthu-
siastic congratulations, lifted me from
this dependency. Your generous treat
lnent cannot be forgotten by me, and I
accept this beautiful gift, not as re-
ward of merit, but only as another evil
dence of your kindness. 1t will be to me
and my children source of unbounded
pride through future years"

had it not been fer the arri ival of the
tug. The schooner's cargo was damaged
by water, but is insured.

WILLIE RILEY SEES BACKWARD.
He Is One of Rare Glass Known as Mir
ror Writer'S

Vineland, N. j., November 1e.-The
scientists of the University of Pennsyi-
vania and of the Neurological Society of
Philadelphia, are greatly interested in
the case of Willie Riley, thirteen-year-
old boy, who is an inmate of the Home
for Feeble Minded Children at this place.
The boy is one of the rare class known
as mirror-writers. While writing he
unwittingly reverses his letters so that
they appear upon the paper as ordinary
penmanship would be reflected by a
mirror He begins writing words or
sentences in the upper right hand corner
of the paper and writes from right to
left
The singular fact about his perform
ance is that he cannot realiz the oddity
of his work. He does not understand
that his writing differs from thai Of
others.
The boy was admitted to the training
school few months ago. He was then
unable to write and was placed in tbe he
ginners' class. 1t was not until the how
had learned to form his letters fa;riy
well, although reverse, that the sitnation
dawned upon the teacher Sha +noi

THE JUDGE DIDN'T FINE HIM.
So the Man Who Put On His Hat Too Soon
Is Out of Jail. s

Hartford, Conn. November 49,
Michael Murphy, sent to Jail for five
days for contempt by Judge Barbour of
the police court, was released late this
afternoon by Judge Wheeler in the SUI
perior court on habeas corpus proceed
ings. The only offense Murphy COM
mitted was to put on his hat as he was
leaving the court room before he had
passed out the door. His release was
obtained on a technicality. The law re.
quires punishment by both fine and i'm
prisonment for contempt of court, and
one without the other is illegal. This
point was raised by the counsel for Muir
ply and sustained by Judge Wheeler.
On this the prisoner was set free.

Marseilles, November 16.-The city
was thrown into state bordering on
panic last night by an attempt to blow
upsthe residence of Gen. Methelin, COM
mander of the Fifteenth Army Corps,
whose headquarters is at Marseilles. The
house occupied by Gen. Mathelin is sur
rounded by high walls, and about the
premises there are placed sentry boxes.
Sentries are constantly pacing their
posts, and no one is allowed to. approach
the place unchallenged. Notwithstalld-
ing these unusual military precautions,
some one managed to pass the sentries
without suspicion and placed in the room
in the house occupied by the orderlies
some sort of an internal machine. AT
midnight the occupants of the house
and every one in the vicinity were
dlouSCo ny d GcIIluC oAplOS1Ou 1udU SuOOk
the houses to their foundations. Every
body rushed into the streets to ascertain
the cause of the explosion, and the
streets near the division headquarters
were soon filed with an excited throng
of people, many of whom were only part
ly dressed.
After the excitement had subsidized
somewhat, the police, who were soon at
the house, made an Investigation. 1t
was found that the explosion had made
breach in the walls, and that large
quantity of debris had been hurled
through the guards-room. Though the
orderlies were in bed at the time, none
of them were injured. The windows of
all the houses in the vicinity were
smashed. A ladies' school adjacent to
the headquarters sustained the most
damage. The scene here after the expIo-
sion was most exciting. All the inmates
of the school had retired, and when the
explosion occurred they were thrown in
to a state bordering on frnzy. Many of
the girls and women went into Mysteries,
and medical assistance was required to
restore them to their senses.
The police found the lid of a tin case
that is believed to have contained
dynamite. They also found an:unexploded
bomb in the corridor of the generals
residence. An Italian has been arrested
on suspicion of being the author of the
outrage.

TROOP ORDERED OUT.
Marching to the Mexican Border to Guard
American Interests.

Denver, Col, November 1e.-Gen.
McCook, commander of the department
of Colorado, has ordered all the troops
under his command to proceed to the
scene of the Mexican troubles. These
consist of four troops of cavalry. Gen.
McCook says the troops will be instruct
ed to guard American interests and pre-
vent any violation of the neutrality laws.
Aid has been asked by Americans to pro-
tect their interests on this side of the
line. The trouble on the border is due
to the taking of the town of Los Pal
mos, Mex. by revolutionists who occupy
the surrounding country.

WILLIAM RETURNS THANKS.
Glad Because the Army Is Lager But
Wants More Money.

Berlin, November 16-The Reichstag
was opened today by His Majesty, Empe-
ror William, in person. In the speech
from the throne, opening the session.,
the Emperor said:
when I, in July last, convoked the
Reichstag, expressed my confident hope
that you would not deny me and my
high confederates your cooperation in
developing the army institutions, which,
in the interest of the security of the en-
pire, had become necessary. I am very
much pleased to find that my confidence
was not deceived, and greeting you to-
day l feel that want to express to the
Reichstag the imperial thanks for it's
patriotic readiness and for the manifold
proofs OF warm sympathy of which I am
pleased to have been the recipient in
various parts of the Empire These proofs
are security to me of the satisfaction
which the nation feels at the organiza-
tion that has been secured in the German
army, in which there is guarantee of
protection to the Fatherland and main
tenance of peace
at will now be your foremost task and
common labor with the federated gov
ernments to care for the raising of means
to cover the increased expense caused by
the increased peace footing of the army.
The proposals wich you will receive will
move on broad basis, wich will be con-
current with the new regulations of the
financial relations of the empire to it's
separate members.
"The financial administration has not
yet found a definite solution of these
problems. Past experience has, however,
proved that arrangements between the
Empire and single states can no longer
be postponed. The Empires financial
system must be built up in such manner
that the past vacillations in the empires
demands on single states will be
abolished, and their payments and the
empires return of It's surplus to the
states must be fixed in such manner
that legally secured share in the EN-
pire's ownsreceipts will be secured to.the
single states for a previously fixed;period.
Such an order of things will secure to
our state oganization its harmony with
it's federal character, the undisturbed CO.
operation of the Empire and the single
states. !"
