Trial of the Olympia.

WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE report
of the government board on the recent
trial of the Olympia has been received
here and the secretary of the navy is
much gratified with the showing made.
The Olympia made 1916 knots, which
is regarded as very good speed, though
it is not considered as the maximum
speed OF the vessel, which has hitherto
reached 81 knots, the present being
merely on trial under ordinary circum-
stances and not q speed test.

LIBERALS BEATEN
English Election Returns Indi-
cate a Big ConServa-
tive Victory.
A MAJORITY OF THIRTY-TW0.
Four of Rosebery's Ministry
Already Meet Defeat at
the Polls.

LONDON, July 17.-Up to midnight
the returns from the parliamentary
election show the following results:
Conservatives, 900; Liberal Unionists,
81; total, 23l. Liberals, A; Parnell-
ties, 4; McCarthyites, II; Labor, L;
total 81.
The gains which the Unionists have
secured in the elections thus far insure
them a majority of 80 in the next
house, even if the rest Of the seats to
be voted on remain the same as
heretofore. The proportion of the
electors who went to the polls was
higher than ON any former occasion.
The chief event of the day was the
Defeat of John Morley,
making the fourth ex-minister in Rose
bery's cabinet who has been sent to
seclusion. At Northampton, which is
a Radical stronghold, Labouchere had
a majority greatly reduced and ths
Conservatives won the other seat.
The result of previous returns was so
convincing that there has been little
enthusiasm in public places during the
day. Crowds gathered in front of
newspaper offices and there was much
cheering at Conservative gains. Con-
trary to expectation the election of
Joseph Chamberlain seemed to delight
the people, but WIS received with sui
lenness at the Liberal clubs.

rebuilding a dangerous bridge on the
Santa Fe, quarter of mile south OF

train, heavily loaded, passed over the
bridge. The vibrations caused by the
train had not ceased when freight

passed in safety until within three
spans of the end, when suddenly, with
lightning swiftness, trestle gave way
and the whole train fell through the

manner, and grinding the cars into
kindling wood. Mrs. Albert Cooper,
whose husband was at work on the
bridge, was instantly killed, Boss Car

TWO DEAD, EIGHTEEN INJURED.
Immense Warehouses De-

Loss Results.

CINCINNATI, July 1S.-Two firemen
were killed and 1S injured by fire in
Seaman's tobacco warehouse during
the afternoon. The dead are Captain
Michael w. Healy and Thomas w.
Wisely, son of the late fire chief, Lew
Wisely.
At p. m. an alarm was turned in
from box 13. A big fire had started in
the 5-story hay and feed warehouse of
j. H Hermesch 81 Co. at Water and
Walnut streets. 1t spread so as to
threaten the entire square bounded by
Walnut, Water, Vine and Front
streets, and another alarm soon called
out the whole fire department. The
warehouse went up like an explosion.
Then the fire spread to Nelson Morris
& Co. s large stables, but their large
warehouses stood tireproof. The ad-
joining commission and tobacco ware
houses, however,
Went Up Like Piles of Kindling,
causing such confagration as to
threaten the north end of the suspen-
sion bridge. George o. Brown had
80, 600 bags OF peanuts in his ware
house. They burned like shavings,
and burned the stock, taking with it
the large tobacco warehouse of L. Sea-
man e. Co., which was full of leaf to-
bacco. All the streams of water had
no effect ON the fire in these ware
houses and the firemen exerted them
selves to save other buildings. At 2:30
the front wall of the Seaman ware
house fell, burying a score of firemen
in the ruins. Two of the men were
taken out dead and lS injured, several
dangerously. The dense smoke from
the burning piles of tobacco prevented
the firemen from seeing their danger
in time to escape. The total loss is
about $400, 900.

APPLETON, Wis, July 17.-As con-
sequence of the order from the secre.
tary of war forbidding the use of any
water from Fox river for power pur.
poses, all the mills in Fox valley, some
80 in number, are down fat. At Ap-
pleton every mill is down and the stu
alton is further complicated by the fact
that if the order is strictly enforced
there will be no electric street car serv-
ice, no street lighting, and possibly
no light for private consumers who
take light from the Edison company
until that company can substitute
steam for water power, which now
runs their dynamos. In the meantime
several thousand hands will be out of
employment and many thousands of
dollars day in value in product will
be cut off.

SOO'S BIG SCHEME
1t Will Compete for Chicago
Traffic by Way of Lake
Michigan.
IMMENSE FREIGHT FERRIES.
The Company Formed and the
Boats Now Being Con-
StruCted.

ST. PAUL, July 17.-f all reports are
correct, the 500 line has finally played
an important trump card in its game OF
securing strong and thoroughly indie
pendent foothold in the railroad busi-
ness, as far as the traffic out of and into
Chicago is concerned. The scheme to
get control Of this new traffic is a large
and costly one, involving the expendi-
ture of millions. At the same time it
is bold move in the direction of ac-
quiring new territory, and, if carried
to completion, will have a strong moral
effect upon the conditions of freight
traffic. Recently new company was
organized at Chicago, known as the
Chicago Transportation company. Its
original foundation was known as the
Lake Michigan Car Ferry company,
and it is with this concern that the 500
is reported as having formed an alli-
ance. By this connection the 500 Sc
cures
An Entrance Into Chicago
by way Of the Lake Michigan water
route. The new company is engaged
in building % monster ferries, with
which it is proposed to transport
freight cars into Chicago. Each ferry
is to have a capacity of 20 freight cars.
In addition to the line Of ferries, there
is to be added a feet of the most power
full tugboats ever constructed for lake
service. An immense railroad slip is
to be put in at South Chicago, where a
full line of switching engines are to
take care of the cars on their arrival.
The direct route is to be from Pesh.
tigo, Wis, on the upper lake, to the
slip at South Chicago, an almost
straight water line. From Peshtigo,
directly westward about 90 miles, also
on straight line, is a station on the
500 called Faithorn. From there to
the harbor at Peshtigo line or branch
was laid some time ago and is now in
operation. This branch is to be the
connecting link for the ferry traffic.
