Her Speed Even Better Than at First
Indicated.
WASHINGTON, July 18.-The Minneap-
oils has done even better than the first
reports indicated on her trial trip. Yes
terday Commodore Selfridge telegraphed
the Navy Department that the vessel
made 23.O5 knots. subject to tidal cor
rections. These corrections were made
last night, and to-day the Commodore
reported that after making allowance for
tides and currents the average speed was
23.O7 knots. By the contract she was re-
uuired to make 81 knots, and the con-
tractors were to receive bonus for ex-
cess of speed on the basis of $500 for
each quarter knot, SO that according to
Commodore Selfridge's figures the
premium earned will amount to $414 600,
the largest ever earned by vessel.
When proposals were received for build
ing the Minneapolis, it was found that
the Bath Iron Works were the lowest
bidder at $2,69O,OOO. Cramps coming
next with bid of 50, 1850. The Secre-
tary of the Navy thought the Bath Iron
Works had hardly a sufficient plant to
undertake the construction of SO large a
ship, and he offered to bestow the con-
tract on the Cramps if they would re-
duce their bid to the figure of the Bath
Iron Works, which they did, so that,
with the premium earned on the trial,
the total cost is So, 204, 900.

ALIENS GOING HOME.
Exodus From Chicago That Will Make
Demand for Labor.


CHICAGO, July 1S.-The Evening Jour-
nal prints the following: The European
low rates inaugurated by the trading
steamship lines may result in wholesale
exodus from Chicago of many men con-
nected with the late strike. Never be-
fore in the history of steamship rates
has it been possible to 60 from Chicago
to an European port so cheaply. Since
the cut rates have been inaugurated, the
exodus from Chicago and the Northwest
to various points in Europe has figured
up a third of the local traffic to New
York according to estimates of local
steamship lines, and the announcement
of the last cut in rates has started a real
hegira of European born people. Dozens
of men who said they were now On strike
have been making inquiries at the local
steamship offices within the last few
days, expressing their intention of going
to the cold country" in case the strike
was a failure. There were half-doZen
interesting phases of the present situa-
ton. and their is much food for thought
in the depletion of the standing army of
unemployed in this country by return Of
workers to their homes abroad. 1t is es-
timated that before long labor will be at
a premium instead of discount, and
there are not few who figure on sea-
son of prosperity as a consequence OF the
return to Europe of thousands who have
been in the past six months unsuccessful
candidates for employment.

Asto Exact Nature of Bill in Equity Filed
Against the Southern Pacific.
WASHINGTON, July 1S.-Attorney-Gen-
eral Olney to-day expressed his doubts
OF the correctness of published reports
as to the basis and purpose of the suit
brought against the Southern Pacific
Railway Company at Los Angeles. Late
last week the Acknowledgement received
telegram from Attorney Denis, stating
mat he had reasons for believing the
southern Pacific was not making proper

Suit Brought Against the Union Pacinc
Railroad Company.
Topeka, July 7.-Suit was filed IN
the United States Circuit Court to-day
against the Union Pacific Railroad Com
pany to foreclose bonds amounting to
Sill, 725, 900. The suit was filed by
George J. Gould and Russell Sage, trus-
tees of the bondholders of the Kansas
Pacific, by their attorneys, Rossin1gton,
Smith & Dales. It is alleged the bonds
are in default. It is also alleged that
since the property of the Kansas Pacific
passed under the control OF the Union
Pacific its revenues. which were suffl-
Gent to protect bondholders, have been
used to defray expenses on other parts
of the system. Plaintiffs ask for the
appointment of receivers to look after
their interests. Judge Foster appointed
S. II. III. Clark, Oliver w. Mink and r..
Ellerv Anderson, three of the five re-
ceiyers of the Union Pacific, as receivers
of the Kansas Pacific, with instructions
to continue to operate the road as part
of the Union Pacific system, keeping the
accounts separate. 1t is rumored mere
that this is step toward the reorganlza-
ton of the Kansas Pacific.

He Warmly and FeeIing1y Commends
CIeve1and's Course.
WASHINGTON, July 18.-In view of the
criticisms that have been uttered in
certain quarters on the legality of the
course pursued by President Cleveland
in usin: Federal troops, notably at Chi
cago, not to preserve the peace, but to
execute the DEGREES of the Federal jul
dietary and keep in operation the pro-
visions of the interstate commerce law,
the following letter from one of the most
able opponents of the constitution in the
land, Judge Thomas H. Cooley, has
peculiar application. 1t was sent to-day
to President Cleveland:
"Now that the great strike in which
your official intervention became SO nee
essary has been clearly shown to be a
failure, | beg to be allowed to express
nv unqualified satisfaction with every
step you have taken in vindication of
the national authority and with the
restoration of law and order which has
been followed or is now in progress.
The caution and deliberation with which
YOU have proceeded are, | think, worthy,
like the accompanying firmness, OF high
praise, and am specially gratified that
a great and valuable lesson in constitu-
tional construction has been settled for
all time with remarkably little blood
shed. You and the Attorney General
also have won the gratitude of the coun-
try, not for this generation only, but for
ali time, and may God bless you for it,
is my sincere prayer"

Receivers Ask That They be Separated

ST. PAUL, July 18.-To-morrow the re-
ceivers of the Union Pacific will be asked
to appear before the court pursuant to
an order to show cause why large num-
Der of the branch lines of the Union Pa
cific road should be considered and con-
Quoted as part of the Union Pacific
system and not be hereafter regarded as
independent lines. The reason for this
action is that the branch lines are not
earning sufficient money to pay operat-
ing expenses and taxes. They are con-
slant drain upon the income of the
Union Pacific road, which has been oo-
liged to advance money to maintain them.
The present receivers ask that their &C
ton at previous times in making these
advances be approved by the court: The
names of the branch lines are Indicated
in the petition as follows: Cartoon Gut

BeIligerent Message Sent to the Japan
ese Government.

Belligerent Message Sent to the Japan
ese Government.
NEW York, July 18.-A Washington
dispatch to morning paper of pro-
nounced administration proclivfties
says: The fact has just come to light
that the administration, through Secre-
tary Gresham, has committed another
diplomatic blunder which is considered
even more serious than the attempt to
restore Queen Liliuokalani, which may
have more important results. Members
of the diplomatic corps, among whom
the facts have created something of a
sensation, tell another story of it. The
Chinese Minister, who has been In ire
ouent consultation of late with the Sec
rotary of State regarding the strained
relations between Japan and Corea, has
finally induced the Secretary to send an
official cable dispatch to the Japanese
government expressing the dissatisfac-
ton of the United States with the policy
which Japan has followed with Corea
and closing with the words:
"The United States views with regret
the levying OF an unjust war Dy Japan
upon a weak and defenseless nation like
Corea."
This is considered a greater diplomatic
blunder than the Secretarv's action In
the Hawaiian controversy, but there has
not been time to realize the full extent
of the message. The Japanese govern
ment has made no reply, and has prob
ably not yet recovered from its astonish-
ment. At the Japanese Legation here
the officials profess to know nothing
about the belligerent message, and ex-
press grave doubts as to the accuracy of
the story. There is no doubt about the
existence of the dispatch. Secretary
Gresham has shown a copy of it to Sir
Julian Pauncefote. The Chinese and
Corean Legations have copies of it, and
the fact Of its existence is known to
several members of the House and Sem
ate Committees on Foreign Relations.

TRIAL OF HUGH LYNN.
He is Charged With the Murder of Two
Men Last October.

Men Last October.
VANCOUVER, B. c., July 18.-The trial
of Hugh Lynn, charged with the MUIR
der of Jack Green and Thomas Taylor
on Savary Island last October, COM
menced this morning before Justice
Drake. The murder was one of the
most atrocious ever committed in the
province. Green kept store and Tay-
lor was an employee. Lynn, the accused,
and kloochman lived on the island,
he being employed by Green. When
the bodies were found, Lynn and the
kloochman were missing. Both men
had been shot with rifle bullets, but the
murderer had placed shotguns in the
hands of the deceased to make it appear
that death was the result of duel. The
house and store had been raksacked, and
the money, furs and provisions had been
stolen. Lynn left by his own boat,
which was found subsequently adrift off
Comox, where he had purchased canoe.
A trail of shot was discovered from
Green's store to where Lynn embarked,
and similar shot were found in the boat.
Lynn was arrested last spring at Orcas
Island, in United States territory. It
was learned that he had traded a rifle
similar to one belonging to Green and
also had sold furs like those missing from
the store. Lynn's kloochman and little
boy gave damaging evidence against him
at the preliminary hearing, and these
facts have been worked up by the officials
into strong case. Lynn is a native of
British Columbia, his father having been
one of Colonel Moody's engineers, sent
out here by the British government in
early days. He has the reputation Of
being desperate.
