GLOUCESTER Mass, Oct. 2.-The new
American line steamship St. Paul is an
chored of this port During the run up
the coast the ship behaved admirably,
and the working Of her machinery was so
satisfactory that for an hour the ships
two engines were run at an average Of 90
revolutions per minute. One of them was
speeded up 10 % on a spurt, which is
within one stroke Of the maximum ca
pacity, and during this period the steam
pressure ran up to l97 pounds, three pounds
less than the maximum,
An estimated seed of 81 knots was ac-
quired, with horsepower development Of
about 90 600. In view Of the fact that the
machinery has been in use but little over
two days the results obtained are consid-
cred remarkable.
Until the hours fast run was made the
journey had been made at a moderate
speed, those in charge of the ship not oar
ing to test her until they were assured
that the machinery was in good condition.
No one on board the ship doubted that
she will easily develop the 20 knots an
hour necessary TO place her in the aux
iliary cruiser class, and many believe she
will beat the st. Louis, which on her re-
cent trial in the English channel averaged
22 3-l0 knots an hour for nearly five hours

the lieutenant in conversation later, "un-

the methods He was asked II he believed
in the possibility Of reaching tho pole by
aid of balloon and said that he had not
given the balloon theory any special

He said his party suffered much on the
last trip, but il was because we were un-
able to keep sufficient steam in the human
boilers. In other words, wo could not car

fully sustain our strength.
"Thefe are three things, no said, "that

Neither Professor Dyche nor Emil Die

that the explorer win ever go northward

more than 10 or - miles farther north
than ho had been ON his first voyage and
the expedition was practically barren OF
any valuable results.
Professor pycho declared that nc could
not speak officially for Lieutenant Peary,
hut he believed that the explorer ascribet
his failure chiefly TO the fact that larg,
quantities of provisions no had previously
stored along the route could nob be found

they had beon stolen by natives, or per
haps there had been an error In marking
