made by this vessel. The Olympia passed an
excellent inspection. She made 1876 knots.
which is regarded as a very good speed.

speed OF the vessel. which has heretofore
reached p knots. the present being merely a
trial under ordinary circumstances and not
speed test. The speed given was made
while in sight of measured distance. in or.
DER tnat the board might tell exactly how
fast they were going. The board believes
however, that the ship exceeded this speed
ana bases Its belief on the fact that for
three hours the ship was out at sea and had
no means OF measurement save the log. She
was making more revolutions during this
sea trip than within measured distances.
The trial on which the present renort is
based was not an official trial but merely a
sea trial ordered by the department to learn
what the ship would do under ordinary cir
cumstances. The Olympia is contract ship
and had her official trial some time ago
earning $4,000 for the Union works. by

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE status of
agricultural education in the United states
is given an extended review in the forth
coming year book of the Agricultural De-
partment 1t shows that there are sixty
FIVE institutions in operation, under the pro-
visions of the acts of July 2, 1852, and
Aug 80, 1890. Sixty of these maintain
courses in agriculture. In fourteen States
separate institutions are provided for white
and colored students. Special courses in
dairying and other agricultural industries
have been recently established at few
Of the colleges. The value OF additions to
the equipment of these institutions during
1894 is estimated at $l,4l5,i95. Agricultural
experiment stations are now in operation
in all the States and Territories. Sub
stations have been established in several
States. Exclusive of these, the total num-
ber of stations is fifty-fve. of which fifty
one receive the appropriations provided for
by law The total income of the stations
during 1894 was $99615 of which Sl19,S30
came from the government and the re-
station bulletins are now regularly dis
tributed to half million persons closely
identifed with agricultural interests. The
experiment stations are conducting wide

The gains which the Tories have secured
in the elections thus far held insure them
majority of 80 in the next house, even
IL the remainder of the seats to be voted
remain the same heretofore. The pro-
portion Of the electors who went to the
polls was higher than on any former occa-
sion- The superiority of the Tories was
manifest both by the magnitude of their
own majorities and by the extent to which
they pulled down their opponents. Dadab-

the dismissal of ex-Postmaster-general Nor

RoSeberys Cabinet who has been sent into
seclusion. At Northampton, which is
deemed Radical stronghold, Henry La

The result of last evenings returns was
so convincing that there has been little en-

adds strength to the theory held by De-
tective Geyer, OF Philadelphia, and
Chief Splan, OF this city. that the body

crimes of which he was believed guilty.
The persistency with which Mr. Geyer has
worked upon the case is remarkable He
has never ceased to follow the clews he
was given last September. He has worked
day and night, travelled from Philadelphia
to Chicago. visiting all leading cities, and
then went to Toronto TO unearth the best
evidence OF great tragedy. the two bodies
of the missing children. Before leaving
Philadelphia, Geyer had many talks with
Holmes and learned all he could OF his
travels. He came West with the story
of the crime well fixed in his mind. How
he, with Chief splan, found where Holmes
and the children had stopped while in this
city, how IL was ascertained that the boy
mysterously disappeared here, and at The
same time trunk was quietly removed
from the rear entrance OF the tlfcie f1outts

Little has been added to the investigations
