AT RAILROAD SPEED.
Remarkable Record Made by the Gu
harder Lucania.

A Remarkable Record Made by the Gu
harder Lucania.
Queenstown, May 27.-The Cunard
liner Lucania, Captain Mckay, from
New York May IS, has beaten her daily
average speed record. She made the
trip in 5 days, II hours and 40 min
utes, being hours, 3 minutes behind
her own eastward record of days, s
hours and minutes, made in Septem-
Der, 1894, but on the trip just COM
pleted the Lucania made an average
daily speed of 22.O1 knots per hour
Her best previous daily speed record
was 21.89 knots, made in June, 1894.
The Lucania, according to her log
passed Sandy Hook lightship at 1924
P. M. on Saturday last May Is and ar
rived off Daunt's rock at $40 A. M.
today. Her daily runs were 431, 4O5,
524, 522, SIT and 38. In latitude 1895
north longitude 22:45 west, she passed
a derelict whose timbers were showing
SIX 1eet ABOVE water. Oh MAY ~ Une
steamer met with much ice. The
United States cruiser Columbia was not
sighted by the Lucania after the latter
passed Sandy Hook. The cruiser passed
the hook 20 minutes after the Lucania.
There was no race between the two
ships.

The Fierce Forest Fires.

Superior, Wis, May 28.-Reports
were received here this evening that
disastrous forest fires have been raging
all day in some of the heavy wooded
districts of Northern Wisconsin.
Along the line of the Duluth, South
Shore & Atlantic railroad fires broke
out early this morning at several points
and spread rapidly. consuming miles
of valuable pine. Near Iron river, fifty
miles east of here, the fires were partic-
ularly destructive. One hundred car
loads of ties and four boxcars owned
by the Northern Pacific were destroyed.
The north bound South Shore limited
was delayed about four hours by the
burning of ties under the train. The
train crew reported the heat from the
flames almost unbearable. Five cars
were fired by sparks and narrowly es-
capped burning. A stiff breeze blew all
day and the smouldering fires, which
had been partially extinguished by
heavy rains, were again famed into
roaring masses of fire.

Thinks Well of Cornell.

New Haven, Conn, May 20. In
speaking of his trip abroad Bob Cook
saws in regard to the Henley regatta, in
which Cornell is to be representa-, that
Cornell stands a good chance of win
ming race. She will not meet typl-
cal college crew, which will make her
chances so much more favorable. Con-
corning his observations of boating
matters on the other side, Mr.. Cook
says:
1.-THE Englishmen are not interested
in Cornell. They told me they had
more fear of the German eight this year
than from any other crew they would
meet. While l think Cornell ought to
have a good chance to win at Henley
T do not admit that Cornell is superior
to Yale in oarsmen. We do not care
to row Cornell every year. but II she
feels that she has a good crew, would
inst as soon row her race for the pur-
nose of easing her mind bit, either be
fore she goes to England or when she
RETURNS. That would settle all this
talk going on all the while about Cor,
nell,s fast crew for once and forever,
believe.

ANOTHER GREAT SAVING.
Press Dispatches Put in Type Direc
From the Wire.

from the WIRE.
Louisville, May 2S.-An interesting
and successful experiment was made
there this morning, when the Associ-
ated Press news was taken direct from
the wire by typesetting operator. The
introduction of typewriters into the
telegraph business has been means of
greatly facilitating the transmission of
the press service of the Associated
Press, and several newspapers have
been experimenting of late with view
to doing away with the typewriter
and substituting therefor the linotype
machine, thus setting the news for the
paper directly from the wire. This
morning loop from one of the Associ-
ated Press wires was run into the
Evening POSTS composing room, and
B. G. Boyle, managing editor of the
Post, and Richard Cogan, chief opera
tor of the Associated Press, who are
both telegraph and linotype operators,
succeeded in receiving dispatches and
putting them in type directly from the
wire. The experiment proves that
the telegraph can be worked success
fully with the typsetting machines and
a maximum rate of speed of fifty words
a minute attained. In an hours work
this morning an average speed of thirty
words per minute was maintained.

The Gnyernnr AnneaIed To.

Denver, May ga letter was re-
ceived today by President Dubois, of
the veterinary and sanitary board, from
J. G. Edwards, owner of 100000 sheep
now in the northern part of Routt coun-
ty, asking the sanitary board and the
governor to use their influence to in
duce the cattlemen to allow sheep to
come through. The northern part of
Routt county, where the sheep are now
located, is common ground and both
cattle and sheep Craze there without
any friction between the owners. AS
Governor McIntire is out of the city,
what course he will pursue in this case
is unknown, but his authority in the
matter can only be used after the sher-
iff of the county has done everything IN
his power. However, it is practically
admitted that the sheriff is powerless
to render any assistance in an event OF
an uprising of the cattlemen.
Mr.. Edwards states that he is an old
resident of Colorado and a heavy tax
payer. He wants to drive his focks
through the lower part Of Routt county
until a shipping point ON the Rio
Grande road can be reached, and has
promised the cattlemen that no damage
shall be done to the range or ranch
property. He has proposed to the OBJ.
iectors that they shall select the trail
the sheep shall take, but they demul
and have called another meeting to as
semble at McCoy's, Garfield county
this week, to organize for resistance.
Edwards asks the governor to attend
this meeting and argue for moderation
and recognition of sheep growers.

FL Paso, Tex, May 81. - Samuel
Clayborn, a negro about IS years old,
who came originally from Tuscaloosa,
Ala, arrived here yesterday from Mex
leo, accompanied by his wife and two
children. He tells sensational story.
he says that negro named Bill Ellis,
who lives at San Antonio, visited
Georgia and Alabama last fall and in
duced colony of 500 negroes from the
states to follow him to Mexico and To-
cate in barren valley ON the borders
OF the states of Durango and Coahuila,
about forty miles east of Mapimi, on
the Mexican Central railroad. Clay
born says he told the people that they
were going to perfect paradise; that
lands were fertile, and that homes
would be given to every family free.
But when the poor negroes reached
their destination they were put to i'm
proving land under Mexican overseers,
were not paid for their work and were
fed on the vilest food, and compelled to
sleep on the ground.
On May Clayborn his family and
about forty others of the negroes made
their escape and were pursued by armed
Mexicans. Clayborn became separated
from the other fugitives, and succeeded
in reaching chihuahua. The others
were captured, and one of their num-
Der, Antonio Bones, of Eutaw, Ala,
who again made his escape and reached
chihuahua, says the pursuers shot and
killed all of his party except himself.
The United States consul at chihuahua
is investigating the affair.

The Bicycle Riders.

Syracuse, N. Y, May 25.-Both
John S. johnson and Tom Eek have
been released from their contracts with
Stearns & Co. The firm states that,
inasmuch as they have been expelled
from the League of American Wheel
men, they are of no further use to them.
One weeks notice is given in each case.
Eek and johnson took their discharge
very coolly. They do not expect to go
abroad, as the season is too far advanc-
ed. Both say that Stearns has treated
them with scant courtesy, and that,
after keeping them in this city for
months, it was scarcely fair to dismiss
them with only week IS warning. Both
say, in case professionalism ever comes
to be recognized by the league, they
will have nothing more to do with the
firm

The Railway Trainmen.

Galesburg, ILL.,, May 27.-The con-
vention of the Brotherhood of Railway
Trainmen today heard charges of neg
lect of duty against Grand Master
Wilkinson during the three months he
was in California. He made a state
ment in defense admitting he had been
guilty of indiscretions, and had not
looked after the affairs of the brother
hood as he should. Many in the con-
vention were inclined to deal leniently
with him. Grand Secretary Shepard
was included in the charges, but he
claimed not to have known that the
grand master was neglecting his work.
No conclusion was reached, but it is
likely Wilkinson will be allowed to
serve his term out. The affair caused
heated debate.

Winnebago Reservation.

Omaha, May 3O.-If troops are sent
to Fender, in an attempt to interfere
with the tenants of the Flournoy Real
Estate & Live Stock Company, they
will be restrained by the federal court.
This Is the sentiment declared today
by John T. Meyers, of Fender, secre
tary of the Flournoy company, VINO

positively that a restraining order
from the federal court will face the

positive information that the courts
VIII compel the Indian agent, Captain
Beck, and the interior department, TO
wait until the matters at issue are ad-
Indicated by civil process. The lndlct-
ment of Sheriff Mullin has wldened
the breach between the county officers
and Indian police at Fender, and 1t Is
thought quite likely the next attempt
made by Captain Beck to evict ten
ants will result in trip of Sherln
Aullin and a posse to Winnebage
agency with the avowed object of plac'
Ing the Indian agent under arrest.

THE COLIMA WRECKED
The Pacific Mail Steamer at
the Bottom OF the Sea.
uINDREDS OF PERSONS LOST
,,.,.tiruIars of the Disaster Have Not
Vet Arrived at San Francisco,
and Little Is Known.

San Francisco, May 30.-In a strange,
vague way the first news of the wreck
of the Colima was received tonight at
III. Merchants Exchange. A tele-
,,eonp message was received at the ex-
change saving that a resident of this
,itv received a telegram this evening
from his father, who was a passenger
m, the Colima. The telegram, as re-
,,.,ted to the Merchants Exchange,
WA. dated Manzanillo, May %, and
read as follows:
Saved. Will wire further particu-
lars.
The man who sent the telephone
MESSAGE did not give his name. r. P.
c.bverin. superintendent of the Pacific
Mail steamship Company, received the
message notifying him of the disaster
several hours after the telephone mes
s3oe was sent to the Merchants Ex-
change. Therefore when inquiries
were made early i'll the evening, the To-
zeal CONSERVATIVES of the steamship
company had learned nothing of the
calamity, and in fact they doubted the
a7rhanticitv of the news until the Off
rial message to the general manager
confirmed the vague and anonymous re-
port.
w. Fl. Avery, ticket clerk OF the
steamship company, said that probably
the wreck occurred at Point Tejupon,
the headland which the Granada struck
lime %. 1889. The point is not far
from Manzanillo, which is the only tel
pgraph station in that neighborhood.
From Manzanillo came the first news
of the wreck of the Granada.
According to her sailing schedule,
the Colima would be due at Acapulco
today.
The Colima was commanded by Cap
tain ]. P. Taylor, and was an iron YES
sci Of 1906 tons She was built in
1873 by Roach & Sons, of Chester, Pa,
and was owned by the Pacific Mail
Company. Storekeeper Richardson, OF
the COlima, was the one who sent the
first news of the disaster. 1t was he
who sent the message to his son in
this city that he had been saved. The
Colima carried a very heavy cargo of
general merchandise, and in addition
to the cabin passengers carried a num-
Der of Storage passengers.
Assistant superintendent Avery, OF
the Pacific Mail, stated late tonight
that the Colima carried 1872 people,
and only nineteen were saved. There
Were forty cabin passengers, thirty
seven Storage, forty three Chinese. and
the crew numbered seventy-two. Most
Of the cabin passengers were bound
through to New York. The statement
Of lost and saved is based upon the
message to Superintendent Schwerin.
This stated the ship was wrecked May
p, and that ships boat containing
five Of the crew and fourteen passen-
gers arrived at Manzanillo today.

The American Tin-PIate Industry.

New York, May 28.-The Metal
Worker says: "The marvellous growth
of the American tin-plate manufacture
in less than four years presents one of
the most remarkable instances of indus
trial effort in history. From nothing
it has become an established industry
of large proportions, which already
gives employment to some $4,000
hands. At the present moment, as far
as can be gathered from the latest re-
ports, there are in actual operation %
tin-plate works proper, rolling their
own plates. Ten more are building,
two or three of which are practically
complete and ready to start up, while
the majority of the others. are expected
to be in operation by July l."

Proved an AIihi.

Seattle, May 27.-William A. Will
cox, who has been on trial the past
week for the murder of old Mrs. Char
lotte Fetting, in South Seattle in Sep
tember, 1898, was found not guilty this
afternoon by the jury. The verdict
was reached after the jury had been out
one hour and twenty five minutes. Will
cox was tried last January, and con-
yicted of manslaughter, but the SUI
preme court granted new trial This
time the state tried to prove that Will
cox murdered the old lady, and after
ward killed James King, of Tacoma,
who was supposed to have had hand
in the first crime, and who was about
to confess because Wilcox had not given
him his share of the money which was
stolen from the Fetting cabin. Wilcox
proved an alibi.

Royalists Disappointed by the Result of
Richard and Walker Case.
San Francisco, May 28.-The steam
ship China arrived from Honolulu to-
night, bringing the following advices
under date of May 20:
The correspondence between British
Commissioner Halves and the foreign
Office will soon close with the laurels
in the hands of the foreign Office. The
claim made by the political prisoners,
Richard and Walker, has been COM
pletely refuted by the evidence submit
ted by the foreign Office. The written
application of these men for naturaliza-
ton, the payment of the fees, the tax
ing of the oath of allegiance and the
service of year in the legislature one
of them has been carefully proved
The British commissioner finds that he
was deceived by the statement of these
men, and will so report to the British
foreign Office. 1t was the expectation
of these men that the British govern
ment would interfere in summary
manner and the royalists are bitterly
disappointed that the case goes against
them.

Great Injustice Is Done Them.
New York, May 27.-Some of the
testimony taken by w. L. Cannon, jr.,
referee in the certiorari proceedings in
which the estate of Jay Gould and Jay
Gould's children resist paying personal
taxes here on the ground of non-resi-
dence, is interesting. The commits
sioner of taxes and assessments put
$40, 100000 valuation upon the person.
atty of the estate for taxation in 1894,
and assessed the personal property of
George J. Gould at $500, 900, and put
an assessment of 100000 each upon
the personal property of Howard, Ed
win and Helen M. Gould. The Gould
children, besides alleging non-resi-
dence, complained that there was great
injustice done them in the making of
the assessment, inasmuch as other
wealthy people and estates were taxed
at less rate George Gould testified
that in 1898 no estate was taxed as that
of William II. Vanderbilt, which was
taxed ON $8,OOO,OOO valuation, al
though the estate was supposed to be
worth 500, 100000, with the exception
Of the assessment which was made
against his fathers estate, which was
put up at $1O,OO0,OOO He said Cor
nelius and William K. Vanderbilt
were each taxed on a valuation of
100000 of personal property, while
they were said to be worth 500, 00O,-
900. Russell Sage had been assessed on
a valuation of $4,000 that year, the
Tilden estate on $500, 200, Andrew
Carnegie ON $40, 600 and G.. P. Hunt
ington, one of the wealthiest railroad
men in the country, ON $3.50, 900.
