but also probably the most speedy in the
world when continuous running is taken
into consideration The true official fig.

2S.7 TO ISIS knots, but it was quite ap-
parent to those on board that the boat was
not forced to her limit and that she might
be rated as a 30 knot bgat II in the hands
of a trained crew, for at no time was the
steam limit of 225 pounds reached, nor did
her propeller reach 400 revolutions pen

that she was equal 20 much above this

posed Of in the United States and else
where during the past y months.
The greatest precaution has been exer

Gently il has been question whether tie

WASHINGTON, Feb. 1l.-There is tacit
