CRUISE OF THE COLUMBIA.
The New War Vessel Makes q Good
Showing on Her Trial Trip.


Philadelphia, May 22.-The cruiser Co.
lumbia returned to her anchorage of the
League Island navy yard this afternoon
at 80 o'clock from her deep sea trial
The trial was successful in every way,
and the ship bore out all the excellencies
developed at the trial last summer off
the Maine cost Three six-hour
steam trials were made, one under
full speed with natural draught and
with the three engines working, and with
two screws working and the center screw
disconnected, and one with the center
screw working and the wing screws dis
connected. No particular effort was made
to force the ship to great speed, but under
natural draught she developed 49, knots
an hour, great performance for
ship as deep in the water
as she is. The test for coal
endurance showed that under speed of
ten knots an hour the Columbia can
steam on thirty-fve tons of coal per day
and going fourteen knots she can steam
with seventy tons per day. The horse
power developed will not be known until
the indicator cards have been worked out
During the time the Columbia was at sea
her battery was tested. AL the guns were
fired three times, once with a reduced
barge, and twice with a full service
charge. Some slight defects were devel-
oped in the secondary battery. 1t was
found that the openings at the sponsors
were too small, and that sufficient room
had not been left behind The guns to al
low them to re freely swung when the
full gun crew is working them. These
defects are trivial, and can be easily
remedied

Newspaper Me n to Be Summoned.
Washington, May %. The Senate com
mittee investigating the charge of bribery
in connection with the tariff bill, made
but little progress to-day, owing to the
failure of Maj. BUTTE to return this morn
ing and conclude his testimony The
Sergeant-at-arms was sent after
the witness but did not find
him. He learned, however, that he
had gone to a suburban town for a man
with whom he believed he should have
conference before he concluded his testi-
mOny, and that he would be before the
committee the first thing in the morning
This information was also conveyed to
the chairman of the committee by MIR.
MCGOWAN, the attorney OF MIR. DutUL, who
called on Senator Gray to explain the alb
sence of his client. The committee be-
lieves it will be able to conclude this
branch of the case tomorrow.
THE HOLLAND LETTER.
There are evidences of the fact that
the committee intends to push ahead with
the investigation of the charges that the
sugar trust has been interfering with leg
islation, for the sergeant-at-arms was to-
day instructed to wire E. J. Ed
wards, the author of the Holland"
I6LU6F IN RnuaQelpnla paper,
wherein the sugar trust was arraigned,
and ask him if he would accept service
and appear before the committee on
Thursday morning next. This was done,
and Mr.. Edwards replied that he would
accept the telegram as service and be in
Washington at the time named.
NEWSPAPER MEN TO BE SUMMONED.
1t is also understood that humble of
well-known Washington newspaper men
have been decided upon as the proper per-
sons to summon before the committee, to
tell what they know regarding certain
stories they have been publishing IN con-
nection with the sugar schedule and the
means by which that schedule was
adopted. If the committee cannot do that,
IL is said that it will, at least,
show that the newspaper men got their
information from what they believed to
be reliable sources presumably mem bers
of the Senate), and will then proceed to
summon senators and run the rumors to
their foundation. The committee expects
to complete the investigation of this

Offering to accept a hribe of 81 nD0 from
the agent Of the French Line of steamers
for certain wharf privileges. came up
this morning. a large crowd was in at
tendance. The hearing was greatly re-
tardcd by the frequent objections OF the
defence. All the witnesses for the state
were examined, and their testimony was
very damaging to the defence. Charles
Is. Burdeau, who acted as an interme-
diary between the agent Of the French
Line and the indicted Councilmen, tes-
titled that al q meeting with Kane and
Thrifiiley concerning the ordinance grant
ing the provisions wanted 10y the French

ley used the pronOun Il or we said the

dinance through without paying the $1,000.
He felt assured that II the company was
called upon to pay the money there would
be objection"
the ordinance failed 10 pass, and said
they were very sorry. Thriffiley and
Kane called again later, and asked him If
he thought there would be any trouble
about the ordinance before tse grand
jury. They told him to say nothing about
the ordinance. and IL would be reintro-
duced and passed without any compensa-
tion.
Witness said that after the grand jury
began To Investigate the councilmen cases
Kane and Thriiiley called and proposed
that the ordinance would be passed with
out any compensation, provided that I'VE
would keep our mouths shut regarding
the transaction and say nothing about
it."
Burdeau was asked as TO whose names
had been mentioned In the payment Of
the 81 900. He replied Kane, Thrffiley,
Desforges and Cautteld."
This was all mentioned I'm the presence
OF the four men named above. He was
asked II this proposition to pass the ordi-
