SPEED OF THE SETTS
Her Builders VIII Get n Premium of
$125,OOO.

Sec retary Herbert this morning received
telegram from Commodore Dewey, pres
ident of the naval inspection board which
has just concluded an inspection and speed
trial of the battle ship Massachusetts,. He
says, in regard to her speed trial Saturday,
that tidal corrections having been applied
to the observed speed Of the vessel gives
her an average speed over the course of
1920 knots per hour. This is 1.279 knots
greater than the contract requirements.
With the premium allowance of s25, 900 for
each quarter krot in excess of fifteen knots
the contractors will get premoum Of S125,-
co., Usually the tidal corrections reduce
the observed speed, but the reverse was
the case with the Massachusetts. She
showed ht1 self much superior to her sister
ship, Indiana, in the matter Of speed on
her trial trip, and she gained a much
greater premium. The Indiana made Is. 81
knots, and won but $4,000 for her build
ers. The Cramps built both vessels.

gnrding Cavalry Horses.
CHICAGO, April PA special to the
Chronicle from Chamberlain, s. D., says:
John D. Hale of Tolford, one of the
most prominent stockmen in South Da-
kota, some months ago received the con-
tract for furnishing the eighth cavalry at
Fort Meade with some seventy or eighty
horses. Notwithstanding that he visited
practically every prominent horse ranch i'll
western South Dakota, eastern Wyoming
and southeastern Montana, in the effort to
secure horses that would pass the rigid in
spection, every horse so far turned in for
Inspection, he says, has been rejected. The
horses, according to Hale, We're the best
that could be secured. Some of the horses
could not be purchased on the range or in
the markets of Chicago and New York for
Zoo each Horse raisers in this section are
discouraged at the result, and say that any
board that holds strictly to the REQUIRE
ments or the government in the selection Of
cavalry horses will not be able to get
enough horses to mount one cavalry reKi-
ment."

Mr.. Hepburn's Opposition.
THE SENATE.

The absence of a quoiUm at the opening
of the Senate today occasioned some delay
while Senators were being summoned. Mr.
Chandler (N.H) presented supplemental
report concerning alleged election frauds in
Alabama.
The naval appropriation b.l- was then
taken up.
The main features of the Ein are the
items fer four sea-going coast line battle
ships designed to carry the heaviest armor
and most powerful ordnance, to cost s., 49,
600 each; three torpedo boats, having a
speed of thirty knots, to cost S>p1pr0 and
ten torpedo boats, to cost S5O1.up1. These
provisions are the same as the House pro-
vided, except that the number Of first
class torpedo boats, as tine bill came from
the House, is reduced from five TO three
and the speed ircIeased from twenty-six
to thirty knots.
Guns for Auxiliary Cruisers.
The unimportant amendments of the
committee were all agreed to- The item
Of reserve guns for auxiliary cruisers
caused some debate. Mr.. Quay offered an
amendment increasing the appropriation
for this item from $4,000 TO 100000
Mr.. German commented on the delay in
furnishing guns at the Washington navy
yard. At one time the work had been
much expedited, probably as result OF the
war talk. But Of late the contractors had
failed to furnish the Jackets, ETC., of gunsy
and this had occasioned delay. The Senar
tor doubted tn. expediency of providing for
lot of new guns and following it up with
