Speed Tria. of the Wilmington Pcstpon

Speed Tria. of the Wilmington Postponed
New London, Conn.,, March 24.-The
new gunboat Wilmington failed to re-
ceive her official speed run this morn
ing, on account Of very unfavorable
weather conditions. All was in readi-
ness and the boat went about a way
to the starting point, u was forced
back to the harbor by a high wind,
thick fog and a heavy sea- The new
boat behaved admirably in the nasty
sea that was running part Of the time
was out. Her engines worked with
out a hitch, She rolled considerably,
but not more than was expected Of a
vessel that draws only eight feet of
water forward and little more aft. It is
the intention to take the Wilmington out
again at 6 o'clock a. m. tomorrow, to
attempt to make the trial run, but the
present indications are that the
weather will still be so boisterous that
the run will have to be postponed
again.

THE SEMI-WEEKLY MESSENGER, FRIDAY, MARCH 26. 1897.

once read from him. He and Lord Sal
isbury have shifted attitudes. Mr..
Gladstone in power was the friend of
peace as we'll as OF humanity. Lord
Salisbury has been always something
bellicose when in Office and out of Of
fee. Now he is for peace and Glad
stone sounds the trumpet In ringing
appeal for bold action, ever for war.
Such, We infer. is his attitude, as we
have gotten from newspaper discus
sion. The Philadelphia Record says of
this change Of places in the two lead
ers:
"Parochial politics used to be a
term Of reproach applied by the con-
servatives to Gladstonian politics. Now
1t is the tories who show a desire to
change the subject. and who manifest
an intense interest in educational
measures or in parish affairs when
ever the opposition becomes too in
quisitive concerning the policy of the
government in the eastern crisis.
Mr.. Gladstone in his attack on the
so-called concert of Europe breathes
the true spirit of John Bull, with hiy
contempt for humbug and shams. He
makes short work Of the claims for the
utility of the concert, and what he says
will aid in dispelling the fears so wide
ly entertained that disaster would fol-
low the secession of any one of the six
