HA sITcCEssFUL TEST.

New York June 1.-The United States torpedo boat Porter was put through her maneuvering paces today and came up to all expectations. The board of inspectors were taken down to the lower bay in the morning..
 The little black flyer cut her way through the waters and although no at- tempt was made to obtain phenomenal speed all other craft were left quickly behind. Once out of the channel the work of testing the torpedo guns was begun. Three torpedoes were fired, Two work ed excellently, but the third was not sue cessful as the locking device refused to work. Then the little flyers ability to twist and turn was exhibited. Her turn ing circle was found to be about HOO feet In reversing from full speed ahead to full speed astern and vice versa she proved wonder taking only 25 seconds and moving less than her own length be- fore she gained momentum in the direc- ton desired. After various tests of her maneuvering qualities the Porter brought the board of inspectors back to the city. These gentlemen expressed great satis- faction over the results of the trip.

Eau res approaching visit to Russia by the Emperor Nicholas, President Faure, Count Muravieff, the Russian foreign minister. and M. Hanatoux, French for eign minister. The treaty whose terms have already been settled will be one of the most laboriously constructed ins ru- ments of recent years. Ever since 1889 it has been in process of construction. Two czars and three presidents, toge 0her with their successive ministers, have been working on it. A military convention was carefully considered, and the netru- ments exchanged were settled upon basis satisfactory to both countries and was signed in 1894 This has bsen the sole document hitherto binding the two countries.
