81. PAUL, Mimi, June 29-Ihe
United States of America, in an action
brought yesterday in the circuit court
at st. Paul, by its special counsel, John
E. Stryker, alleges that a NUMBER OF
the most prominent lumbermen IN
Minnesota have, without any warrant
whatever, been devastating the north-
ern part of the state, denuding the
territory of its timber, and that they
must pay the full market value OF The
lumber to the extent of the round sum
of SIG, 474. "a and interest
The defendants are the Pine River
Logging and Improvement Co.. j.. h.
Bassett & Co. and C. A. Smith Il Co.
The technical name of the offense al
legged in the action IS conversion. De-
PENDANTS are charged with unlawfully
entering on the territory within the
Mississippi and Winnibagoish reserva-
ton and Systematically cutting h
timber and converting it to their W n
use.
The timber has been worked into
lumber, and the market value OF the
lumber is represented in the amount
of damages demanded. W. L. Bas-
sett, of J. i. Bassett Il Co.,
said this afternoon that the new
suit is a revival of the controversy
of several years ago. The inter
ested firms had a contract with b
government for cutting timber on the
Indian reservation around Leach lake
At the time there arose a question as
to the number of feet that had been
cut, the governments agents claiming
that the number returned was below
the number actually out.

THE CRUISER OLYMPIA
70 be Thoroughly Tested and Sent to
Chinese Waters.

Cnlnese "aCcEb
WASHINGTON, June 29.-The new
cruiser Olympia went to San Francisco
from the Mare Island navy yard
Thursday, preparatory to a cruise at
sea for the final inspection, when she
will be driven at various speeds and
turned to determine her technical di-
ameter as we'll as have her ornaments
thoroughly tested. Her stability will
also be carefully noted under varying
conditions, recent official reports hav-
ing indicated that she is rather
cranky in heavy seas, rolling badly
and recovering her equilibrium slowly.
In this respect she is similar to the
flagship Philadelphia, and it is not
thought that her propensity to roll
will necessitate any change in her
weights, as it is not desirable to have
a war ship too stiff at sea, stiff vessels
having a tendency to jerk themselves
to pieces.
From an official report received yes
terday it is demonstrated that the
Olympia is a very fast vessel under
most economical conditions. She re-
Gently ran from San Francisco to Santa
Cruz, a distance of sixty-eight miles,
in four and a half hours, using but
two of her six boilers with five
eighths of an inch air pressure;
and returned the same distance
on two boilers with natural draft
at a twelve-knots gait. Forced draft
is 21E inches air pressure, and it is be-
lieved that with this pressure and all
her boilers the Olympia will make
over twenty-five knots. as it was, on
two-thirds boiler power and very
slight pressure, she maintained over
fifteen knots.
The Olympia leaves for China to re-
place the flagship Baltimore about the
middle of July.
