able speed.
GLOUCESTER Mass, Oct. 1.-The
new American line steamer 81. Paul,
which left Delaware Capes at 1 80
O'Clock yesterday, anchored OFT this
port at 1 30 pm. today. During the
run up the coast the ship behaved ad
mirabiy, aud the working of the ma
chineTy was 20 satisfactory that for an
hour the ships engines We're run at an
average of ninety revolutions per miu-
ute. One of them was spe edei up to
ninety four on "A squirt, which J. within
one stroke of the maximum capacity,
aud during this period the steam pres
sure ran up To 1917 pounds, three pounds
less than the maximum. An eStiWa-
ted speed OF twenty one knots was
acquired, with - horse power Of about
20, 600 The machinery having been
used but little over two days, the re-
suits obtained are considered remark
able. No one on board the ship
doubted that she will easily develop
the twenty knots AN hour necessary To
place her in the auxiliary cruiser
class, and many believe she will beat
the ~. LOUIS, which on her recent
trial in the English channel averaged
22-3 knots an hour for nearly five
hours.
The official trial board will consist
of Commander Bradford, Lieutenant
Commander Schroeder and Lieuten-
ant Muiligan. The ships ability To
carry guns in time OF war meets all
the requirements OF the auxiliary
cruiser.

Bill Nye at MetZerott's.-A great many of
the humorous sayings that are current in
this country at the present time had their
origin In the brain Of that remarka Bile ge-
MUS of fun who is commonly called bill
Nye.' Mr.. Nye possesses a wonderful fac
ulty for seeing the droH side of life; be
makes himself the mark of his inimitable
fun. He is most admirably seconded and
supported by the brilliant genius who ac-
companies him in his platform work. Mr.
Bert Poole is an inimitable entertainer,
through rare faculty of producing most
rapidly very humorous pictures He Illus
trates as rapidly Mr.. Nye talks, and Is
said to catch the very spirit of Mr. Nye's
utterances, and embodieS it in his pictures
These two delightful entertainers have
ramificatlons. Reserved seats for their en-
tertainment We're placed on sale this morn
ing at Metzerotts music store.
'Black America.'-The opening perform
ance of BLACK America" will take place
tonight at Convention Hall. The aggrega-
ton arrived in this city Saturday evening
over the B. and o. from Philadelphia,
where 1t has been playing for week, and
the train is now quartered on a siding in
the freight yard. The cars are white, and
the picturesque train has attracted a great
deal of attention since its arrival 1t is
composed of nine sleeping cars. a baggage
car. cooking car and Mr.. SalSbury'S pri-
vate car. Mr.. Salisbury travels with his
great production and personally attends to
the supervision of the whole concern. The
crowds that visited the yards of the b. and
.. railroad yesterday were very large. and
the soldiers who are now with BLACK
America were stationed SO as to keep the
people al a fair distance from the cars. The
show which will be presented will not be
the regulation minstrel performance. or
anything approaching it. but will consist of
scenes before the war. when the southern
negro was in his glory in regard to singing,
eating and having a good time generally.
The dancing which is produced is intensely
interesting, while all the other features of
southern life are reproduced in startling
realism. The parade today was one Of the
features of the show, and attracted vast
numbers of people to the streets over
which it passed. 1t started at 1890 at Con-
vention Hall and wound up at the same
place, where it disbanded and began to
make preparations for the evening per-
Torrance.

Electric Road ON Street is Now
Under Way.
The actual work of constructing the F.
street electric line of the Metropolitan Rail-
way Company was begun this morning at
the corner of South Carolina avenue and
18th street southeast. Lincoln Square.
Long before the time FOR commencing
operations for the day an immense crowd
Of men. nearly all of whom were colored
assembled for the purpose of asking for
employment. Col Perry Carson was also
very early on the scene. and interested
himself in a number OF those present.
Fully nine-tenths of those looking for
work We're doomed to disappointment, not
more than fifty being given employment
by the foreman for the contractor. 1t was
stated by one of the bosses that the reason
SO few men We're engaged was that the sup
ply of picks became exhausted, and that 1t
was impossible to work more men to ad-
vantage at that time. An additional lot of
tools was, however. ordered by the fore
man, and they are expected to arrive during
the day. when. the foreman said, he would
take more men.
1t was understood to be the wish both of
the railway company and Contractor SaxIon
to push the work as rapidly as possible, and
that with tEiS end in view employment will
be given to all the who are able TO
handle pick or shovel that can be protitably
managed.

MIR. PADGETT STILL SICK,
Columbia typographical Union Has
Another Meeting to Discuss Finances

Columbia typographical Union Has
Another Meeting to Discuss Finances.
Columbia Typographical Union held a
meeting yesterday afternoon to consider
again the financial condition of the organ,za-
ton in consequence of the sickness and flight
of the secretary, Mr.. Padgett. 1t was ex-
pected the latter would be present, but Pres
ident Tracy announced that he was still
unable to get out doors. There was large
attendance, and an effort was made to de-
clare the office of secretary vacant and
choose new incumbent. This failed, and
Mr.. Ed. Toner was continued as secretary
pro tenn. for one month. A resolution was
adopted increasing the regular monthly as
sessment of members from one to two per
cent of earnings. This is expected to in
crease the revenues Of the union to about
$2,oOO month. By this action the notes Of
the union due October 26 and extended by
the holders to meet the peculiar situation
can be met. The committee of investiga ton
made an informal report, stating that they
had called to see Mr.. Padgett and found
him physically unable to give them any lucid
account of the condition in which he had
left the financial affairs of the union The
committee was given until November l to
check up the books and make preliminary
report. The increased assessments will lie
due in November, but portion, to the
amount Of $1,000. is payable today, SO that
