FAST VESSEL.
The Olympia Made 20 Knots an
Hour in Rough Weather.
Official Report Of a Speed Run Made
to the Navy Department.
She Ran Under Natural Draught-It is Pre-
dicted In Smooth Water She Can Make
23 Knots, Thus Becoming the Sec
ond Fastest Cruiser in the World.

WASHINGTON, March ia recent
speed run of the cruiser Olympia be-
tween two Chinese ports was made the
subject of an official report, which has
just reached the navy department. Not
withstanding very rough weather, the
Olympia averaged 30 knots an hour and
would have made % knots, according
to her officers, in smoother water, thus
becoming the second fastest cruiser in
the world
The Minneapolis, of our navy, which
holds the record, made her remarkable
speed of 80 knots and a fraction in her
official trial, where every condition was
favorable to speed and where forced
draught was used.
The Olympia ran under natural
draught. Her headway was so great
that the decks were swept by the waves
and it was necessary to slow down to
avoid damage. AS it was some damage
occurred. The Olympia was built un-
der private contract at the Union iron
works, San Francisco.

Tariff Comparisons.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 21.-It was
asserted by Republican campaign
speakers and managers that the present
or Wilson. tariff law is free trade law
and that the loss in revenue is due to its
free trade features. The figures of the
revenue derived under the Mckinley
law and the Wilson law are as follows
1S94-Mckinley imports, $685.. 6l4, e
400 S5; duty paid, sl2S, ISL ,s6s, equal
to 20. 25 per cent.
1S95-Wilson imports, s731 1862 900
duty paid. sl47 ,OO1 els, equal to 20. 90
per cent.
ls96-Wilson imports, 1853, 6s4 ,0s4
duty paid, 1856, 100 sos. or 81 per cent
Ii will be seen that the duty paid on
imports has increased under the Wilson
law to 81 per cent.
The revenue under the Wilson bill
increased from sles, 600, 600 to STAT. =
0OO, 900, and in 1896 TO $l56, 600 600
The increase in the first year was more
than sl9. 900 900, and in the second
year s2s 900. 600.
The increase in the first fiscal wear
under the Wilson tariff was Is per cent
over the Mckinley tariff, but il
increased in the second year to % per
cent, as compared with the Mckinley
tariff. The Dingley bill calls for is
per cent increase on the present system.
