OUR LATEST CRUISER.
The Montgomery Proves Herself Faster

The Montgomery Proves Herself Faster
than Either Detroit or MarbIehead.
The Nays latest cruiser, the Montgomery,
made her trial trip on Long Island Sound Jan.
10. and in spite OF stormy winds, proved her
self faster than either the Detroit or Marble
head. She entered her course at 10:26:33 a. IN.
There was i66 pounds of steam in the boilers,
and the screws were revolving III turns per
minute. Tie wind, abean blew at l6knot
gait and the tide was against the cruiser. The
pbin marked the first buoy. The second,
mark ed by the tug Loyden, was six miles from
the start and was reached in 30 minutes and
three seconds. which represented speed of
nearly Is knots against the tide. In two hours
and seven minutes she covered the whole SO
miles. When she turned II was without re-
ducing the speed of either engine. aud when
she headed up into tho wind the spray dashed
entirely over her.
She entered on her return trip at 124S:56.
Everything went smoothly until she reached
the third buoy, when the wheel which works
the steam stecrine-gcar in the pilot-hous be-
came unkeyed. The pilot lost control, aud the
wind took her OF her course. She headed
straight for the tug Fortune, at anchor near
the buoy. but fortunately took sheer and
passed 100 yards 10 the right OF the tug.
| Though Tor five minutes the steering apparatus
was useless the full speed OF the engines was
not reduced then the wheel on the bridge was
| connected and the ship brought back to her
| course the deviation causing loss Of but one
minute. The return runlof 80 miles was made
| in one hour 4S minutes and 80 seconds. Going
! out against the tide the Montgomery made
1870 knots. returning with the tide 20. IL
| knots which makes an average. the tide elimi-
| mated, of I943 knots. This will probably ell.

The engines worked smoothly and without
mishap. They were 10 revolutions per minute
more than the Detroit. and five more than the
Marblehcad. The average revolutions of the
port engine during the trial were 1870 and
for the siarboard engine 1908; an average o.
5000. The average steam pressure was i6t

ported adversely by the Senate Committee on
Pensions. Accompanying the report is a letter
from Pension Commissioner Loehren, ia which
he says that the bill ought Tot to pass. as its
effects would be to greatly retard the work of

Under such law" he says, the Bureau
would Immediately be invaded by all the claim

lug claims and compelled to devote their time
to exhibiting all the fles to such agents, who
would seek them for data on which to construct
additional claims and claims for increase"

To the initiated it is an amusing thing to
hear the Presiding officer of the Senate. when
that body is about to enter upon Executive
| session, announce peremptorily aud with wave
of the hand. "The Sergeant-at- Arms will clear
tho galleries and close the doors" But the
Sergeant-at-Arms, mace in hand, does not APP
pear; indeed, one does not remember when he
ever did appear to execute this high sounding
order to put the public out into the corridors,
willy niliy. That worthy gentleman is usually
occupied with some of the THOUSAND and one de-
tails which generally fall To his lot, while the
spectators at the announcement scramble from
their seats with aoc,iity and agility sometimes
to degree tEst involves :orgetfulness OF hats
and umbrellas

The big tree at the corner in front of Will
lsrds Hotel has become the favorite spot for q
congress of sparrows to hold their noisy ses-
sons. Some one has suggested that their in
cesSant "scrapping" is reminder TO late rising
representatives in the hotel near by that they
are wanted AS soon as possible at the Capitol to
go through with similar performance; others
say that il should remind Congressman of the
uselessness OF their own chatter, buta Represent
ative himself takes a more poetic view. Did
you ever notice them ?" asked fellow men,
her of Mr.. John J. O'Neill at the Capitol the
other day. Don't you know why they
there?" asked the Missourian in fcgned aston
ishment. NO, do not, said the other; do
your" "0f course" was the reply. They
congregate in that tree by the connivance of
the landlord. When the gentlemen from the
rural districts who stop at the hotel wake up in
the morning they hear the birds singing and
imagine they're in the country"

One member OF the mmittee ex pressed his dis

that if this bin were destroyed. bill amounting
to practically free trade would be brought in,
and whether it passed not the issue there
after would be between protection and absolute
free trade.

Tire nomination OF Wheeler II. Peckhsm,
prominent New York lawyer. for Associate
Justice Of the Supreme Court OF the United
States, in place Of Mr.. Hornbiower. Was a sur
prise and appearances arc strong that Mr..
Pecklam will be turned down." as his prrde-
cessor was. through the in guence of New York's
Two Senators. Mr. Peckham has fought Sen
ator HiiI 10 politics since 1858. when that gen.
tleman WAS running for Governor and since
that time he has been anii-macbine anti
Tammany. anti Hill, anti-cverything that
smseked of the regular Democratic organiza-
tion even going 70 the extent of siding with
Republicans al times. He is known in New
York as a professional ref0rmer. 1t is pre-
dicted that the fight over the omination next
week will be hot one, that no stone will be
left Bnturned to defeat the nominee, but as to
the outcome nothing can be stated definitely.
A rather amusing incident occurred on Sat
arsay during the tariff debate, when Mr. Hop
kins OF Illinois, was urging his amendment
regarding stockings. and with much felicity
and huency discussing the various grades and
modes of manufacture, Jerry simpson, of Kan.
sas. famed as the Once-sOckles Statesman, came
forward to investigate the samples that Mr
Hopkins displayed as Of American n,anufac
ture. He took up pair and examined them
whereupon Mr.. Hopkins said: The legs are 9
little long for wear, but will make you pres
ent OF them, and il will do you ne harm q
wear them"
By the way, Mr. Simpson has authorized hi
friends to announce that he will be candi dat
for reelection to his seat in Congress. He hs
changed his mind as to travelling through th
various States endeayoring 20 instil enthH
siasm in the public mind over the People
Party and its wonderful possibilities. Now b.
thinks the Democratic party is so weakened b,
the mistakes of it's leaders that the Populist
must surely hold the balance of power in til
Bext election, and as the Presidential eectio
will be settled in the House. the Populist
should have men Of experience in Congress
who know all about Congressional practice AM
parliamentary law.

1t is understood that the line of argument
that Mr.. r. yner and other Democratic members
OF the Foreign Affairs Committee will take in
the House on the Hawaiian question will be that
a great wrong was committed in the overthrow
of the monarchy; that Mr.. Stevens was one of
the moving spirits in the conspiracy that he
was guilty of violating his duty as Minister,
and all the usage of international law. IN head
ing the movement to overthrow the Govern
ment 10 which he was accreditcd. The further
ground viii be taken that the restoration of
lhe Queen is utterly impracticatle; that even
admitting the Provisional Government was
brought into existence through the efforts Of
the Uuited States Minister, that Government
must be recognized as de iaeto and that Con-
gress will treat with it until it may be super
seeded by such other form Of Government as may
be determined upon by the wishes and suf
frages of the people

UNDERGROUND WIRES.

Los Angeles May Follow Other Cities In
tho Great Reform.
As the city grows larger, the demand
for reform ia the matter of electric and
other wires grows stronger, and ere
many months no doubt an effort will
DO made to place all wires underground.
Several weeks ago the council was
shown the danger of eSerhead Nj res,
when that body was appealed to to
remedy the evil to some extent by
mar king the electric wire posts so that
lnemeu aud others could readily, in
both night and day, distinguish them
from other wires.
The demand for change 10 general,
and the reasons are apparent to all.
The loss OF life through the crossing OF
suspended wires; the danger TO and
consta loss OF property fIom the same
cause the barrier they present to the
fire department in their dangerous and
difficult work by reason OF the vast
mesh OF wires and forest of poles of all
sizes.
Several councilmen we're approached
on the subject, and each expressed the
belief that while the reform was more
or less of necessity, it would be raj
years before a change will be made. The
construction of conduits in the streets
brings up phase OF the question that
makes the subject a very complicated
one. Whsther it would be better for the
city to construct single conduit, go
made as to accommodate all compan les
enjoying franchises, or to force the com.
panies to construct their own conduite,
ia an open question. 1t ia conceded,
however. that the better plan would be
to build only one conduit in each street
and allow the companies to pool their
issues and do business smicably in the
same wire-ways.
The reform has been made In many of
the eastern cities and it is only a ques-
tion OF time when Los Angeles will take
itup.
