FASTEST ON RECORD.
THE WARSHIP COLUMBIA MAKES
A GREAT TRIAL TRIP.
Spins Through the Water at Rate of
Twenty-Five Knots an Hour,
Eclfpsing All Time.
Special to the REconp.Ux1ox.

Special to the RECoRD-UNIoN
BosToN, Nov. 19.-Faster than ever
sped warship or merchant vessel, the
new warship Columbia steamed over the
coast from Cape Ann to Cape Porpoise on
her trial trip, with the United States
Board of Inspection on board. Her aver
age speed for forty-eight knots was 22.81,
but she steamed seven and three-quarter
knots of the run at rate that averaged
25.03 knots at hour, fairly winning the
title of Queen of the Ocean.
1t was magnificent display of speed.
By her little four-hour spin she won for
her builders, William Cramp IL Sons, the
neat bonus of $350.000.
The ship made false start, and Cramp
ordered her back for new run. At $40
O'Clock she was off for Point Porpoise,
speeding at 22l-knot gait. She reached
Inana, the second mark, at 10 O'clock,
making the first mark on her course at
the rate of 2206 knots.
From the kearsage, the next marking
vessel, to the tug Leyden, the speed of the
ship was only 22.S knots per hour. Then
she was given more steam, and the whole
form OF the Columbia viDrated with the
fearful velocity of the engines. The
mighty shafts revolved two and one-half
times every second, and the huge screws
churned the water into caldron that rose
high about the quarter galley.
The Narkota was anchored seven and
three-quarters knots from the Fern. and
her stalky masts were just visible on the
horizon as the Columbia shot at cyclone
speed past the Fern. The speed fell to
q. .53 knots. but it proved that the Column
bia was only gathering power. She
swept by the Fortune, the seventh mark
boat, at 1l:3l:2S o'clock, and then the
three big propellers hauled up the
mighty mass of seething, boiling water,
and left a trail a couple of miles long in
her wake.
The Fortune was left far astern in a
twinklng. Spray leaped in over the bow
and drenched the forward deck and
whitened the whiskers of Captain Sar-
gent, who was on the bridge. The
Columbia was rapidly nearing the first
half of the trial, and was bent on smash
ing all records.
The Columbia had covered the last II
knots at the rate of 25.3I knots an hour,
or little better than thirty miles, and
the average since the start had been y, ,92
knots an hour.
At l2:l4:56 she crossed the line on her
return. The ship was reeIing off Pitt
knot gait. and one of the patent log lines
could not stand the strain and was carried
away.
Just as the ship passed the Fortune
there was a commotion in the engine
room and every light went out. The
boiler which drove the dynamo had given
out and the result was darkness. When
light was restored the engines were set TO
work turning off 13S revolutions min
ute. The speed rose to 23I knots almost
Immediately, and when the kearsarge's
crew got into the rigging and cheered her
as she sped by she was at steady o.
knot gait. From this to the end of the
course she remained at 224 knots speed.

excuse for their presence on Hawaiian

was informed that the authorities were
willing and able to preserve order, and
to protect American interests. The
troops were stationed across the street

TO protect them in their act OF rebellion;
that stevens recognized the Provisional
Government according to the procon-

WHEREAS, We recognize that farmers

they are heavily taxed to protect others;
and whereas, this condition of things
tends to impoverish the farmers more
and more; and whereas, we recognize the
fact that the farmers are our customers

are identical; and whereas, Mr.. Lubin has
presented plan that promises to remedy
at least partly this injustice; therefore
be it
ReSotUed, That the San Francisco Labor
Council deems Mr.. Lubin's plan worthy
of careful consideration, which we affirm
our purpose of giving; again asserting
our desire to aid the farmers in any pos

Perhaps the most significant was the

MINISTER WILLIS ADDRESS.
''1fr. President Mr.. Blount. the late
Envoy Extraordinary ofthe United States
TO your Government, having resigned his
Office while absent from his post, | have
the honor now to present his letter of re-
call and to express for him his sincere re-
gret that he is unable in person to make
known his continued good wishes in be-
half of your people, and his grateful ap-
preciation of The many courtesles, both
personal and official, of which while here
he was the honored recipient.
81 desire at the same time to place in
your hands the letter accrediting me as
his successor. In doing this l am di-
rected by the President to give renewed
assurances of the friendship, interest and
hearty goodwill which our Government
entertains for you and the people of this
island realm.
Aside from our geographical rrox-
unity and the consequent preponderat-
ing commercial interests which center
here, the present advanced civilization
and Christianization of your people, to-
gether with your enlightened codes of

of American zeal, courage and intelli-
gence.
at is not surprising, therefore, that
the United States was the first to recog-
niZe the independence of the Hawaiian
ISLANDS and to welcome them into the
great family of free, equal and sovereign
nations; nor is it surprising that this his
toric tie has been strengthened from year

advantageous to both Governments.

happens to encounter one of Mello's
formidable warships, such as the Aquida-

however, that the Nictheroy can avoid
such meeting, and is competent to go
against Mello's weaker vessels. 1t is
