A dispatch from Washington says:
Navy officials are looking forward with
interest to the speed trial Of the ram
Kathadin, which is to take place on oc-
tober g. The vessel was built according
to the designs furnished by Admiral
Ammen ten years ago. The contract
under which the boat was built calls for
II knots an hour. At the private trials
which have already been had the speed
was not attained, but some Improvements
have since been made and the build
ers are hopeful that the contract require
ments viii be met on the official trial. 1t
is recognized that the vessel promises
great power, but to turn part OF, the
power into speed is one of the problems
in connection with the vessel. The vessel
was built at Bath, Maine, the contract
price being $sSO,OOO. The contractors have
made change in the propellers of the
ram since the last trial, giving them
greater pitch The next trial win consist
of two hours trial Off Cape Porpoise
southwark towards the Isles OF hoals.

HUNTING FOR GENTRY.
THE MURDERER OF MADGE YORK
SUPPOSED TO BE HIDING IN
THE CITY.
A Young Woman of Good Family,
for Whom the Comic Opera
Proved too Attractive, Falls
Victim.

New YORK, Feb. 19.-Inspector
Mclaughlin has his best men
Titus, Mushiland, Heidelberg, Arm.
strong and McCloskey - looking
for Gentry, who murdered Madge
York, the actress, at Philadelphia
on Sunday night. The police feel
sure that Gentry is in hiding in
this city. The man Gentry is
about 30 years old. He is sallow
and stopped and far from good
looking. He has a scar under his
left eye. Even his speech is I'M
pleasant, as he talks within strong
nasal twang not usual in native
OF so southern a place as Richmond,
Va. 1t appears that he has been
an actor for fifteen years or more,
never very successful, never rising
above a third or low comedy part.
He was an agreeable companion
and was well liked by his brother
actors, except when his moody dis
gust with his failure as an actor
led him to drink and dependency.
1t was about three years ago that
he met this young woman whom
he murdered Sunday night. She
was Scotch by birth, her father
having been in the employ OF big
linen house in his native country
until fifteen years ago, when he
came to New York to travel for a
firm Of linen importers. There were
four children in this family-two
boys and two girls-and OF the
four Madge York was the cleverest
and most attractive. She grew up
into fine looking young woman,
with a sweet soprano voice and a
figure and a manner that served
to fit her peculiarly for the comic
opera stage. She used to sing at
home. Her father, proud OF her
talent, let her take lessons OF a
teacher. She told her father at
eighteen that she wanted to go on
the stage. He was much disturbed.
He was enough Of man of the
world to know that there are many
dangers and temptations on the
comic opera stage, and he feared
for his daughter, because Of her
youth and attractiveness. But at
last, in 1890, when she was nine
teen years years old, he gave his
consent, and he himself helped her
to get place in the chorus Of the
Casino.

Wants to Hunt the Ch,cora.

ST.. JOSEPH, Mich, Feb. l9.-Cap-
tain Ed. Napier is so sure that he
can find the lost Chicora in the
Spring that he has offered to find
her and give property valued at
$4,000, for half Of the boat, cargo
an6 all. Captain Napier has fire.
quently said he was satisfied as to
where the ChicOra can be found.
He had drawn diagrams showing
a wonderful knowledge OF the sit
uation, as well as a minute &C.
quaintance with every detail. The
hull and machinery OF the Chicora
would be in fair condition and the
thirty-five car loads OF flour would
be practically intact. 1t is said
that even IL the water penetrated
the barrels it would form a water
tight paste with flour at the top
and thus protect the rest Of the
contents.

CONVERTING CHICAGO.
BILL FOR A COMPLETE CHANGE IN
THE ADMINISTRATION OF
ITS AFFAIRS.
A Mayor With Absolute Authority
and a Cabinet to Consider all
Things, Very Much
Like PARIS.

SPRINGFIELD, ILL.,, February l9.-
There will be introduced simulta-
neously in the House and Senate
today a measure that, IL passed,
will completely reOrganizeIthe city
government OF Chicago. 1t was
prepared by the legislative COM
mittee Of the Civic Federation. By
it's provisions the city will be in
almost absolute control Of the
mayor. Instead of the depart
ments, as they now exist, the may
or will have a cabinet similar to
that OF the President Of the United
States, to be known as the Board
OF Control. 1t does away with the
election Of city treasurer and pro-
vides for the election Of one alder
man from each ward for term OF
two years, and twelve aldermen at
large for a term Of four years. The
Board of Control will consist OF the
comptroller, to be at the head OF
the department of finance; the
commissioner of public works, to
be at the head of the department OF
public works; the treasurer, to be
at the head of the department OF
public funds and disbursements ;
the commissioner Of public safety,
to be in charge of the police, fire
and health departments; and the
corporation council, who will have
chargg of all the legal business of
the city.
The office of city attorney is
abolished.
The salary Of the mayor is to be
$4,000, and of the heads Of depart
ments $4,000 a year. The salaries
of aldermen are to be So, 800 year
and they will not be allowed to
hold any other office.
The mayor is to have power to
remove any of his cabinet at any
time and is given absolute veto
power. The Board of Control shall
say in what banks the city's money
shall be deposited and such banks
must give bonds.
All franchises must be passed
upon by the Board of Control and
then sold to the highest bidder at
public auction. Purchasers must
pay a per centum Of earnings to the
city. The Council will elect its
own presiding officer.
The committee in preparing the
bill studied the methods by which
almost every large city in the
world is governed, and the bill pro-
vides for the government Of Chica-
60 on a plan almost like that OF
Paris.
