POLICE COURT ACCOUNTS.
Trouble Caused by the Disappearance
of Williams,

The disappeS raEce of Policeman Dan
Williams, alleged to have gone off with Po-
lice Court funds. has made considera BILE
extra work for the clerks Office, and with
three clerks away it is almost impossible
to give anything like good service 10 the
public. Although the two clerks have been
greatly over~Crked since the flight of the
officer, none of the clerks away on leave
have been recalled and the public is great
ly Inconvenience thereby. Trouble in pro-
curing warrants, witness fees and orders
for the return of stolen property is being
experienced and in some cases to the detri-
nent of the citizens.
This afternoon, for instance, a colored
man banned Clark, who had been robbed
of a whitewash brush, and a man sent to
jail yesterday for stealing it, wanted an
order for the return Of his brush. He had
been waiting in court nearly all day to get
the order. He said he could do no work
without a brush, and as he didn't have
money enough 10 buy new one. it was
absolutely necessary for him to get the
stolen brush before he could return to
work 1t was II o'clock when he reached
court, and at pm. h, was still waiting
The absence of three clerks at a time is a
new departure, so it is said, for never be-
fore has the business of the Office been so
badly crippled.

FASTEST OF HER CLASS.
Naval Officers Are Proud of the
DFOOklyn'x Record

: Naval officers are jubiant over the great
performance Of the ar,nored cruiser Brook
Ign on her official trial trip over the gov
eminent course off the coast of Massachu-
sets yesterday. The result is briefly told
in telegram received by Acting Secretary
McAdoo this morning from Commodore
Dewey, president of the board of inspection.
in the following words:
Brooklyn had successful speed trial
Made 2l92 knots. Tidal corrections not
yet obtained"
that on u run of four hours under forced
draught she shall average speed of at
least twenty knots an hour For each
quarter knot in excess of twenty speed
premium of $4,000 .s allowed. A round
trip over the eightythree knots course
travelled yesterday was therefore calculated
TO consume four hours, including the turn
at the upper end. which was made without
slackening speed. The actual time of the
round trip was ; hours Al minutes 13 Is
seconds, producing an average of 21.92
knots an hour. Had she made .0S of
knot more the premium would have been
$4,000 higher, but as no allowance is made
for fraction of a quarter knot the bonus
will be calculated on her speed of n 3-l
With broom at masthead, the Brooklyn
put into the harbor of Boston yesterday
afternoon with the proud record of the
fastest speed of any vessel of her class in
the world She is the last. perhaps, of the
long line of American warships to run
against time, and the men who designed
and built her and those who engineered
her over yesterdays course are celebrating
her fine performance. Her speed of 21.92
knots entities her builders. the Cramps OF
Philadelphia, to premium of s350,OOO in
addition to the contract price of the ship.
Her record places her, in the matter Of
speed. next only to the Minneapolis and
Columbia, and ahead Of the New York. the
only other armored cruiser in the navy.
The two vessels which have higher speed
records are trple-screw protected cruisers.
Although the Brooklyn will not be ready
to go into commission for at least a month
yet, considerable gossip is being INDUCED
in with regard TO her officers. 1t is be-
iieved that either Capt. Colby NJ. Chester
or Capt. Francis A. Cook will be given
command Of this latest addition to the
navy. and it is stated at the Navy Depart
ment today that the question will be set
tied in short time.

Offer, which Was to BE

along declared, that this is q campaign of
Tillmanism and Altgeldism on the Bryan

substantially this. and that the democratic
response is a challenge from Tillman,
which. they assume. means that the demo-
cratic committee have selected him as their
champion to be pitted against Harrison.
They do not think there is any probable
ity that Mr.. Harrison will agree to speak
from the same platform with Tillman; yet,
of course, Mr.. Harrison opened the way
for the challenge by mentioning Tillman by
name. Tillman seized upon this as a war
rant for the challenge
