HER FIRST TRIP HERE.
of the Gunboat Bennington
From Acapulco.


VALLEJO, April 30.-The United States
gunboat Bennington arrived at Mare Isl-
and navy-yard this morning. coming d.
rect from Acapulco, leaving there week
ago Saturday. She only stopped once for
coal at Mon tevideo since leaving Gibraltar
The Ranger was coming out of the dock
just as the Bennington arrived at the yard.
The Bennington went into the dock on the
same tide as soon as the caisson was IN
place. The crew commenced to scrub off
the hull as the ship was lowered on the
keelbiocks. There were very few barnacles
on her. She had been cleaned by divers
three months before. Painters will be put
to work on her tomorrow.
While coming up the coast an accident
occurred to the machinery, which was re-
paired on board. Only temporary repairs
will be made at the yard. as she is ordered
to be away from here Tuesday or Wednes-
day of next week, and the commandant
says she will CO. Good weather was expe-
rienced all the way up the coast. 1t is the
first time the Bennington has been on this
coast. She is sister ship to the Concord
and Yorktown. As soon as the necessary
repairs are made she will be coaled and
proysoned for her Boring Sea trip.

HARDLY PARLIAM ENTARY.
Canadian Statesmen Indulge in Some
Wild Talk Also,

OTTAWA, Ontario. April 2O.-In the
House of Commons resolution calling for
the deepening of the s.. Lawrence River
canal to twenty instead Of fourteen feet
as at present was introduced. The execu-
ton OF this scheme will cost at least $780,
100000. During the debate Joseph Martin,
Liberal member from Winnipeg, ex-
claimed that the execution of this scheme
was necessary as the Canadian Pacific
freight rates were so exorbitant as to keep
the farmers of the Northwest in poverty.
Mayne Daily. Minister of the Inferior,
charged Martin, who was m ember of the
Liberal Government in Manitoba. with
having an understanding with President
Cakes of the Northern Pacific by which
Manitoba was debarred from enjoying
option of the cheap shipments on that line
Martin said it was false and Daily said
there were statements on oath that showed
Martin to have been, if not in collision
with Cakes. too near that gentleman for
Canada's good.
Speaker White called the Minister of the
Interior to order. and Martin said he
would make Daily prove his allegations or
acknowledge to the House that he is a
slanderer.

of Various Chemicals.

NEW YORK. April 3o.-1he prosecution

day. Nothing new was developed by the
testimony. Prosecutor Mcintyre read an
anonymous letter signed Eau Echo" which

Meyers almost induced to enter into his
swindling scheme and to whom he confided
his plans. 1t says DR.. Flint, travelling
mesmerist. frequently operated on Mrs.
Meyers, and that Meyers under his in
structions learned to throw her into con-
dition when she would become slave of
his will. The writer argues that the
woman was under DR.. Meyers mental
control when she participated in the plot
He gives the names Of several Chicago
crooks who were in the scheme and who

which they would administer 10 tramps
and then watch the effects. He expressed
confidence that the police can lay their
hands on the crooks and that they will

house on West Second street. and at ]

speech in the vacant lot opposite the
Metropolitan Hotel. In substance he said
the movement was the greatest scheme

astrous results would follow unless the
