resulting as follows: Steam pressure.
l80 pounds; revolutions, 231h; speed.
1873 knots per hour.
1t was expected that both the Marietta
and the Wheeling would attempt to
make the highest speed possible on these
trials, but there being no premium Of
fered for speed in excess Of that named
in the contract, 1t was decided to run
them only little in excess of that
speed. thereby saving much expense, as
it is understood the contracts for these
two vessels will cause the Union Iron
works some loss. - F." 90
That the Marietta can do all that was
expected. of her was amply proved by a
run made over the measured mile at
full speed at the end of the four hours
trial today. when, with 1S0 pounds of
steam, with 149 revolutions, she accom-
plished the distance in 3minutes 8 40 Sec
onds, representing a speed 1906 nau-
tical miles. Throughout the trials eve-
rything worked most satisfactorily, the
machinery working without fault, the
vessel proving so rigid that the vibra-
tons were hardly perceptible, and her
maneuvering qualities were most ex-
cellent. The trial of the Wheeling is
set for Friday.

Many Pilgrims

HARTFORD. Wis, May 26.-Sixty
Chicago people with over 1000 others
made the pilgrimage to Holy Hill. A
large delegation left Beaver Dam, Fond

THE CRAvHN DEEDS
A Day Spent IN aumpel's Cross
Examination

SAN FRANCISCO. May. 26.-The
whole of today's session of the Angus
Craven case was consumed in the cross
examination of the expert. Max Gumpel.
It was shown by the defense that the
witness had been at work upon the va
rious documents in controversy for the
past eighteen months, and that he had
reached the conclusion that the pencil
will was forgery on November 16, 1885,
An effort was made by counsel for the
defense to show that Gumpeps employ
ers in the meantime had asked him to
testify that the will wae genuine one
but the court promptly checked this
line of Interrogation. Gumpel stated that
he had not examined any of the gen.
uine Fair letters written in the early
eighties, because they were too remote
from the date Of the disputed writing.
Several undated letters were shown to
Gumpel, who stated that he had not ex-
amined any documents which bore no
date, as there was nothing to show
when they were written.

gained so large a following that the
tabernacle was built, chiefly through
the efforts of Mr.. Bruen.

Kansas agitator. [volume] (Garnett, Kan.) 1890-1905, 1897-07-23

Antonio Rubinocci, secretary OF the
Federation of Labor of Italy, recently
wrote a letter to Samuel Gompers,
pI esident of the American Federation
of Labor. in which he says: Italy
possesses but single virtue-her beau
ties. But, as the stomaches of its mil
lions Of Inhabitants cannot be filled
with sunshine and its beautiful views,
our government encourages emigra-
ton, and tries ever to keep the servile
state of mind among the population,
in order to avoid the troubles 1t creates,
and thrusts them on other govern
ments. From our government, then,
there is no hope. On the contrary,
all hope lies in the organization and
brotherhood of the working people.
With such faith in our hearts We mean
to dissuade from emigration those I'M
happy people who may be led to dream
to find in far off countries great well
fare and fortune, but owing to the
ignorance of language and the differ
ence in manner of working and many
other causes, find only disappointment
and suffering, and are compelled to
work for their subsistence and become
the slaves of avaricious employers,
thus injuring their own interest and
those OF their fellow-laborers of your
country"

Among the supplemented folks of the
