Secretary Herbert has decided to reject the new Ammen ram Katahdin, designed and built strictly for harbor defence. His action in the matter is based upon the re- port of the trial board, which gives her official speed at only 16.13 knots in lieu of the IF required by the navy depart ment. The failure of the vessel to satisfy the government appears to be in a great measure to be attributable to the rash ness of the builders in permitting the trial to take place on Friday last under the most adverse conditions of tide and wind, instead of In the smooth water stipulated by the contract. There appears to be an impression among experts that had proper allowances been made by the board for the disadvantages with which the vessel had to contend during her trial, all re- quirements with regard to speed would have been met with, and under the circumstances 1t may be hoped that the decision of the secretary of the navy to reject the ram will not prove final.
 Ae@AAASNy A6S 0O4AocIou SOmo exceedingly interesting figures on the or dinary performances of the new warships. During the last year the admiral has re- qulred all commanding officers to report to him the rate of speed and the coal con- suned on every voyage made, and tho rs- sults demonstrate that the wonderful bursts of speed, when skilled iockeying Is employed by builders on trial trips to- es- tablish great records, are altogether means ingless as indicating the value of such vessels for everyday naval uses.

new figures do not in any manner detract from the capabilities of the racing cruis- CTS to develop high rates of speed for short distances when emergencies occur that warrant the risk of forcing and strain ing the machinery and hulls, as for in- stance, when $25, 900 a quarter-knot is at stake or an enemy Is to be intecepted or avoided. But the statistics collected show that the figures customarily attach ed to such ships, even in official publica- tions, are entirely misleading.
 The cruiser, New York, for instance, is rated in all official publications as 8 twenty-one.knot ship. The best run she has made since her trial was at the rate of fifteen knots an hour. The Columbia, rated officially at 22.8 knots, while under orders to make 8 record, accomplished IS knots. The Minneapolis is generally, and no doubt correctly, believed to be the fastest warship aaoat, If pushed. She is rated at S9.O73 knots. Her best speed in the last year was 14.3 knots. The Balti- more, rated at 90. O96 knots, yet her high est recorded speed is 12.7 knots. While there Is no doubt. that some of the ships may do better, 1t is indisputable that sev- eral of them cannot.

 Springfield, November, 1895. Fine Furs.
 Not one lady in a thousand can tell any more about fur than how good it looks. How good it is, she knows nothing about. Whether the color is right, whether the fur itself is as it should be; whether the skin is sound or unsound, whether it is properly match ed and put to-gether-all these require knowledge that can be got only by familiarity with furs and skins in all stages of preparation. She who under takes to judge of these quali- ties herself cannot fail to go wrong.
 There is just one way to go right, viz.: Be sure of your dealer, then trust him.
 Now we are not going to SaV that we are trustworthy and that others are not. We have done our share. We have pointed out that you must believe somebody. Be- lieve whom you will. The volume of fur garments going out of here every day simply shows that we have more than our share of the fur trade of this section.
 Of furs over $25 and less than $1oo in price the variety is considerable. Consider these few, if you please: At $25-Electric seal fur cape, 30 inches long 100 inch sweep, Th1bet fur trimming on ! collar and edge. s. At $83-Ch1na seal cape, 90 inches long, 1OC inch sweep, satin lined, pockets tipped with fur.
 At $85-Heavy astrachan fur cape, 8s inches long, sweep Of no inches, heavy satin lining.
 At &S7.5O-Reavy China seal cape, 90 inches long, 100 inch sweep, figured satin lining At $45-WoOl seal caIe, edged with marteI trimming, black satin lining, 30 inches long, sweep of 100 inches At A7-F1ne Electric seal fur cape, astrachaI fur yoke and collar. At $4S-Wool seal fur cape, marten collar and l edge, black satin lining, 30 inches long sweep of 100 inches.

It was said that Armour sold some wheat today, but it was not presumed that his line was perceptibly reduced. In an interview, MT Armour de- ned any efforts on his part at the manipu- lation, but stated that he was friendly to the grain.
