THE PHlLAOELPHIA'S SPEED.
1t viii Probably Enable the Ship to Reach
Honolulu Saturday.

WASHINGTON. January I.-The Phil
adelphia is scheduled to steam into Homo
lulu harbOr next Saturday morning. AL
though she is rated as n twenty-knot
ship. she could make that speed only for
a few hours at a time, and with such an
enormous expenditure of coal that her
bunkers would be exhausted In three days.
Her most direct course between the Col
den Gate and her destination is 2,0s9 miles
long, and her most economical steaminS
rate for this distance, having her coal
capacity in mind, is fifteen knots per hour
Ordinarily she would cruise at "A ten or
tweve-kuot rate. She will undoubtedly do
the best she cdt for the distance. which
wiz o. by Manufacturing fifteen knots per
hour the whole way over This will en-
able her to make $50 knots a day. and as
fair weather may be confidently expected
in the Pacific at this season after passing
one hundred miles west of San Francisco.
there Is no doubt that the ship, barring
accidents. will drop her anchor before
noon on Saturday next at Honolulu.
