declared that he was the humble creature
Of the House, and always ready to jump

TRIAL OF THE ANNAPOLIS.
First Cruising Vessel of the Navy
With Tubular Boilers.

Bridgeport. Conn. April Fl .-Thenewc corn-
posite gunboat Annapolis, which is to have
her trial tomorrow arrived here today from
Elizabcthport, \. j., where she was built
in the shipyards of Lewis Nixon, the de-
sgner of the Indiana type OF warships.
The contractor is required to produce
speed of twelve knots, with heavy penal
tics for deficiency and no premium for ex-
cess On the trip the Annapolis made
twelve and seven-tenths knots an hour
over measured course OF twenty-five and
one-half miles.
The fact that this is the first cruising
vessel of the Navy TO carry tubular boilers,
that it is the first of the composite copper
bottom vessels to be brought out for trial
and the first naval vessel, except the
Bancroft, to be made at NiXons yards, in
creases the experimental value of her trial.

DEFECTS IN THE PORTER.
Serious Flaws Discovered in the
New Torpedo Boat.


The Navy Department Is in receipt of a
a report from Naval Constructor Bowies
relative to the defects In the torpedo boat
Porter
The report sets forth that the worst
feature OF the ships construction is the
lack Of watertight doors and watertight
compartments.
In addition, some OF the ships hull
pilates are ptted, due to the galvanic &C
ton created by the contact of the brass
valves with the zinc, used in the construc-
ton of the vessel.
1t has also been reported that the Porter
is three feet out OF trim, and that her
draught, instead OF being four feet. is SIX
feet. The matter Will be looked into, as
will the other defects found.
The torpedo boat Porter was given a
preliminary trial early in March, the yes
sci exceeding her contract speed or u 5
knots per hour, and was accepted on the
recommendation made by the board OF In
spection and survey. The hoard reported
that she was "a marvel OF mechanical
ingenuity In view OF the fact that the
formal acceptance has not yet been made

make alterations and charge the builders

war may he prolonged and bloody, but it

School closes Friday noon for the

for the same reason.

and many will remain in sunny Canon.

cliffs exclude all light, save from the
twinkling stars above. Spray is dashed
in his face from the rushing torrent
and above the roar unearthly voices
echo and re-echo among the crevices.
At length he stands upon an iron bridge
suspended in air. with sky above, water
beneath and perpendicular walls on
either side. The m oon arose above the
highest peak as Fred Balfour above the
herculean chasm, transfixed, gazed upon
the awful scene,

Precipitous cliffs tower hundreds of
feet like sentinels OH either side, while
far up in the filmy heights overhanging
crags, surrounded by bristling pines,
inclining rocks threaten to loose their
hold and crush all in their path. Weird
shadows trembled on the walls; dark
c;lverus opened Oh every side while
eliish figures seemed lifting to and fro,
-creaching and chanting dismal strains.
Gradually chaos ceased, his scattered
senses returned, and though his guid-

forward The bridge was far behind
the silver queen rising higher and
higher when, just above steep and
barren ascent, the star twinkled in
changing luster. Up, up, he went till
at length he stood on a broad plain
yellow-tinted in the silvery light and
ped peaks.
Suddenly the star shot across the
plain and fell, where for an Instant il
burned iii dusky red as signal then
sank into the ground.
With sharpened stick he dug deeper
and deeper, the cleaning star ever
receding till suddenly the ground all
around shone in particles of yellow and
he realized that he had gold, gold--a
mountain of gold. All for himself.
