rounded the Jail when the news of the es-

"Tke tests generally were in all respects
practically the same as those imposed
upon the cruisers and smaller naval
vessels. But the Oregon, you know, is the
third of the big ttle-ships to be built in
the United States. and the first to be built
on the coast. As she is the finest of her
class, so she is the greatest ship that the
Union Iron Works has ever built.
mo, her speed is not due to any pc
culiar formation. She is built on the
same lines as the other battle-ships, the
standard design required by the Govern
ment, and she has the same water-line as
the others. Her great speed is due to
superior workmanship in her construc-
ton, and the credit belongs to the me-
chanics of San Francisco.
California can surpass anything in the

GREETED BY STUDENTS.
Sarah Bernhardt Vas Har,nIy Welconed

at Rochester.
NEW YORK, N. Y, May 16.-A Re-
corder special from Rochester, N. Y, says:
Seventvfive students of the University of
Rochester "Wednesday met Nine. Sarah
Bernhardt by appointment in her private
car that was sidetracked at Rochester.
They entered the car at one end, passing
through in file, each one shaking hands
and speaking to her, many of the students
utilizing their smattering of French to
good advantage.
The madame asked all about the univer-
sity, the duties and studies, and seemed to
be much interested in her young admirers.
AS they left she instructed her attendants
to give them some tickets for the evening
performance of LA Tosca"
After leaving the car the boys had
great row over the distribution of the
pasteboards. For an hour or so they
wrangled, continuing their rumpus into
the halls of the college building and into
room, where hostilities broke out. Chairs
and other movable objects were hurled at
those who had possession of the tickets in
the attempt to make them surrender. At
the evening performance the students oc-
cupied prominent seats and made their
presence known in a demonstrative man
ner.

whole cruise that he mentioned.
"It began blowing" said he, "at O'Clock
Thursday afternoon when we left Santa
Barbara, and when we rounded Concep-
ton we encountered gale and a heavy
sea.
at had taken US from o'clock until
half-past to go over the same course that
we covered in two hours in the morning.
We had to slow down to six knots, for the
sea was so heavy that solid masses of
green water broke completely over the
turrets and reached height of forty feet
above the water line.
Iron matches that were not bolted down
were torn loose and one was washed over
board. But with all the force of the storm
and the continual breaking of mighty
seas she was so steady that at any time
her guns could have been effectively
operated Of course she pitched in riding
the enormous swells, but she never rolled
at all.
1.-The storm was still raging when we
turned Tito Monterey Bay at 4:3O P. M.
yesterday to get out OF IL.
"We left Santa Cruz at 7:30 this morn
ing and we came in through the heads at
1920 this afternoon. On the way up this
forenoon we completed what was left of the
maneuvering tests required and they were
all most sa satisfactorily performed.
1.-The other tests were made at Santa
Barbara soon after the trial of speed for
that was over by II o'clock Thursday.
"Then for couple of hours, while we
cooled down the machinery and let off
steam, we made such maneuvers as we
could before we anchored at Santa Bar
bara and gave the press representatives the
official results of the speed test. The
maneuvers consisted in stopping and IN
reversing the engines while at full speed,
steering with one wheel working and then
the other, with one set of steering gear
and then with the other.
"On the trial trip there was a good deal
of swell when we started, but we had al
ready waited three days for it to subside
and also for the stake boats to be anchored
in position along the course. When we
got along pretty well west, along toward

inches armor belt and II on the turrets.
The Comanche has a 350-horsepower en-
CINE and the Oregon $500. The Comanche
could once go six knots, while the new
battle-ship adds ten to that record.
The Oregon carries four 13-inch, eight
8-inch, four 6-inch and a secondary bat
terry, and the Comanche carries two paro-
dies. Should the Oregons steam launch

After passing out of the thickest of the
moored shipping, the Oregon let out a few
links and began to put the bay behind her.
just in practical demonstration of what
she had done. The waves on the ram went
up the incline a little higher, and the
wake astern had more foam in it.
The battle-ship was only going twelve
knots, but there is so much of her and her
motion is SO apparent that she see ms to
be racing away and will soon drop below
the horizon.
Off the Union Iron Works the Oregon
got her "home" reception, and the volume
and spirit OF it was truly royal. Every
whistle shrieked to split its metal throat
and every workman dropped his tools to
cheer for the great, beautiful, perfect
thing he had helped to create. They
wanted all the world to know that thev

Her average speed of 16. 70 knots beats the
Massachusetts 16.l5, beats the Indiana s
1851. When the peerless Oregon was
laid on paper she was told to go fifteen
knots an hour. Then the SCOTS ham
mered that idea into the ribs, beams,
plates and engines. The great trial proves
that they builded better than they knew
and the new battle-ship has OUTRAGED her
theoretical speed.
Yesterday morning the Oregon weighed
anchor at Santa Cruz, where she had
taken nights cool-off after she had set
the pace for the battle-ships of the world
1t was plowing across the ocean and a
heavy swell was on, but when the "big
one" got herself in motion she simply
went through the blllows. Nothing in
the way of water can stop the Oregon, for
what can withstand about 10000 tons of
metal driven by force estimated at over
10000 registered horsepower? AT II 80
she was sighted off the Heads and the
whole "har bor' went out to meet the
grea white queen.
She slowed down to few knots speed,
and, with her tug escort, came up the
bay. There never was such an imposing
water scene. The battle-ship moved slow
ly among the shipping lying at anchor
and the vessels screaming their steam
whistle welcomes around her. Bunting
waved from every mast on the bay and
from every staff on the docks. The ship
herself had her ribbons on. and from the
great military mast blew outward in a
wide sweep the "homeward pennant. t."
This long streamer always flies in the
breeze that sends the absent cruiser home.
The battle-ship passed in close to the
wharves, giving crowds of people thereon
an opportunity to see the new addition to
the navy. Captain Minor Goodal on the
bridge handled the ponderous mass with
extreme caution, we'll knowing that
slight starboard wheel might run down

docks and possibly plo6 up the concrete
