Chicago Criminal Roundup.

CHICAGO, Oct. l9.-Crime has
been rampant in Chicago for the
past week. There have been
numerous cases of highway rob-
berry as we'll as burglaries, and at
least one murder has been added
to the list. In consequence, Chief
OF Police Badenoch has given Or
ders to the police inspectors and to
captains to begin a general "clean-
ing up" The work began last
night when Inspector Shea sent
out the patrol wagons in the west
division OF the city Immediately
adjacent to the river. The order
was to bring in every man and
woman who looked like dangerous
characters, and, as a result, forty as
tough.looking customers as ever
graced police station were
brought in. Two Of them have
been partially identified as having
been concerned in hold-up the
night before last, and the police ex-
pect to connect some Of the others
with recent depredations before
they are through with them.

The New Recruiting Orders

WASHINGTON, Oct. 19.-The ad-
jutant general has submitted to
the secretary of war his annual re-
port for the past fiscal year. The
report shows that the recent
change in methods of conducting
the recruiting service, whereby re-
cruits are no longer held three
months for instruction, but are
promptly forwarded to regiments
from recruiting stations and rem
devious, has been productive of
good results.
The act of August l, 1894 cOnfin-
ing first enlistments in the army
to persons not over 80 years of age
who are citizens of the United
States, or who have made legal
declaration of intention and who
can speak, read and write the Eng
lish language; and, the more re-
cent prohibition by the secretary OF
war of the acceptance of minors,
except as musicians, have resulted
in a material improvement in the
character of men received as re-
cruits and have not interfered to
prevent the enlistment of men in
sufficient numbers to keep the
ranks well filled throughout the
wear,

THE INDIANA,S TRIAL.
Splendid Performance and a Credit
to the Government.

DOSION. oCls ~ Il lit DdItltSlllp
Indiana made her official speed
trial run yesterday, over the gov
eminent ocean course, 81 knots
eastward from Cape Ann and re-
turn, and showed an average speed
of 1851 knots per hour, which, If
not decreased by the tide allow
ance, will entitle the Cramps, her
builders, to a bonus of $50, 900, as
the ship was required to show a
speed of fifteen knots, while for
every quarter knot above that re-
quisite the firm is entitled to
$25, ZOO.
At the end of the runs the In
diana had shown herself to be the
finest vessel of her class afloat.
The government board is satisfied,
the Cramps are pleased, but
"Fighting Bob" Evans, who is to
command her, is manifestly as
happy as a king. Notwithstand-
ing the fact that she had her trial
practically in fighting trim, the
battleship did not roll even in the
slightest degree, which is deemed
wonderful by the naval experts
who were on board, as warships of
this character and class are noted
generally for their tremendous
roll. The Indiana made her fast
est time on the last leg Of the
course, doing the 60 knots in %
minutes and 40 seconds, an aver
age speed of 1874 knots, develop
ing over IL, 900 horse power and
winding up her splendid perform
ance by making complete turn
inside of 400 yards. One by one
the mark boats were passed, and at
II :05 10 the end of the eastward
run of 81 knots was reached and
the Indiana was swung around for
the return trip. Not much time
was consumed in this maneuver
and at 1924 :015 the run to the
westward and the finish line was
begun. This portion of the trial
was not attended by any incident
or consequence, although the ex-
element was intense while the
last leg was being covered and the
increased vibration told of the
grand final effort which was being
put forth to make a fitting ending
to a splendid performance. The
finish was passed at 2:30 :21!, and,
without any reduction in speed, a
helm test was made which Cap
tain Evans afterwards character
lied as the finest he had ever seen.
After the quick turn the Indiana
was brought about and without
any delay steamed slowly back to
Presidents Roads.
Late last evening she started for
Philadelphia. During the run she
developed an average Of 5000 horse
power and the trial was as whole
satisfactory in every respect. The
eastward run was made against
tide. 1t is question whether the
corrected schedule will increase
the Indiana's average or not, but
it is thought possible that it may
show a speed of 1915 knots or
over

FRIDAY, MARCH az, 1895.

Recent changes in public sentiment
make it highly improbable that there
will be any division in Luzerne coun-
ty, as is contemplated by the bill now
pending before the State Legislature.
Opposition to the proposed new coun-
ty is daily growing, and many of those
who were most enthusiastic for the
division at first are now against it,
because of the large increase in taxa
ton which would follow.
The influential delegation that was
in Harrisburg last week have brought
back word that there is very little
chance of the Legislature passing the
measure, and that if the friends OF
United States Senator Quay really
want to get a county in the state
named after their favorite they viii
have to go outside of Luzerne.

The unprecedented defeat in the

and the overwhelming disaster which

sufficient to justify every one who has
given the matter serious consideration

AN APOLOGY Is DEMANDED.
Secretary Gresham Talks Plainly to the
Spanish Government.

MADRID, March Is.--Mr. Harris
Tay Ior, the American minister, to day
presented to the minister of foreign
affairs demand from his government
for an apology and reparation from
the government of Spain on account
OF he Allianca affair. Mr.. Taylor's
action was based on the following de-
spatch from Mr.. Gresham, dated
Washington yesterday:
This department is informed that
on the Sth inst, the United States
mail steamship Allianca, on her home
ward voyage from Celon to New Work,
when six miles from the coast of Cuba,
off Cape Maysi, was repeatedly fired
upon by Spanish gunboat with solid
shot, which, fortunately, fell short.
The windward passage where this oc-
cured is the natural and usual high
way for vessels plying between points
OF the United States and the Caribbean
sea. Through it several regular lines
OF American mail and commercial
steamers pass weekly in sight of Cape
Maysi. They are well known and
their voyage embraces no Cuban por'
of call. Forcible interference witt
them cannot be claimed as belliger
ent act, whether they pass withir
three miles of the Cuban coast or no
and can, under no circumstances, b'
tolerated when no state of war exists.
"rhis government will expec
prompt disavowal of the unauthorize,
act and due expression of regret o.
the part of Spain, and it must insis
that immediate and positive orders b
gwen to Spanish naval commander
not to interfere with legitimate Amer
can commerce passing through tha
channel, and prohibiting all acts wan
only imperiling life and property Law
fully under the flag of the Unite
States. You will communicate tn
to the minister for foreign affairs an
urge the importance of prompt an
satisfactory response.

A disgraceful legislative riot occurr-

of the nth inst, wherein the law
makers joined in the riotous proceed
ings during which the governors Sec
retary was mobbed and locked in the
elevator for safe keeping.
The trouble originated over a bill
to supplant a Democrat with Re
publican and which was pending in
the hands of the governor In the
absence of the civil service reform
law, which shields the incumbent in
Office against all corners, such things
have been known to happen before
The bill in question was vetoed, but
the Gagged messenger failed to get there
in time to make it effectual before
ad djournment.
