When Russia contracted for this ship,
and also for the tremendous battleship
which will be launched in the spring, her
naval chiefs did what other governments
have never done, for they left the plans

that they wanted the fastest cruiser

that such q snip can carry. The Cramps
made various suggestions, and at last
plans were agreed on from which the Va
RAG has been evolved.

three knots am hour, and must maintain
it for twelve hours The severity Of this
test can be easily understood when the
requirements for other ships are mention

only called ON for - knots an hour for
four hours. Both exceeded the contract
speed but the Minneapolis great record
must do nearly this well for twelve hours

Crop Prospect. in Europe.

London, June 27.-The Mark Lane
Express says the crop prospects in
Englan' nd France have improved.
Wheat is heading under thoroughly
satisfactory conditions and a yield of
100000 qrs is expected. Advices
from central Europe show that after
allowing for local troubles a full aver
age wheat crop is promised from the
Baltic to the Adriatlc and from the
Rhine to the Vistula. An almost I'M
broken story of crop deterioration
comes from Roumania, Russia, East
Poland and the East Baltic provinces.

DREYFUS NOT YET LANDLD.
Cruiser Believed to Have Gone IL
Meet the Prisoner
OFFICIAL SECRECY AT BREST,
No Information ObtainabIe ms to the
Probable Time of the Arrival OF til,
Prisoner-French Chambers Vote to
Uphold the New Cabinet.

Brest, France, June 27.-The French
flrst-class cruiser Tage put to sea last
evening, the official explanation being
that she has gone to experiment VIII
carrier pigeons. She is, however, a
much larger cruiser than the Sfax,
which is bringing Capt. Dreyfus, and
the dispatch of such big vessel with
carrier pigeons is quite unprecedented.
Usually a torpedo boat is sent and
the opinion, therefore, gains ground
that the Tage has gone to meet the
Sfax and to take Capt. Dreyfus on
board. The pigeons can be used to an
nounce the transfer and the Tage might
proceed to another port to land the
prisoner.
AS against this theory and as an in
dication that the landing of Dreyfus
will be effected here there is the fact
that large number of gendarmes from
the country around Brest are arriving.
The treasurer of the famous League
OF the French Fatherland reached
Brest last evening from Paris and as
this organization has been at the bot
tom of the anti-Dreyfus movement, it
is thought he has probably come to or
ganize demonstration.

so entirely different from what l had

And then I went to Capt. Dee. He

She was a lovely child, with her

the kitchen. See her and then break
the news to him. He Is very weak

My heart beat fast; at last would

the way he would look at her; he said

"Of course I'm Dollie," she answered

Paris, June 27.-The cabinet minis
tiers presented themselves to chambers
this afternoon. The chamber of dep
uties was thronged and there was great
animation at the opening of the ses-
sion, when it became known that two
alleged hostile groups, the socialist
radical and the democratic left, had de-
cided to vote in favor OF the govern
ment, and that NJ. Paul de Cassagnac
had Withdrawn his Interpolation.
Identical statements were read in
the chamber of deputies by the pre-
mler, NJ. Waldeck- Rousseau, and in
the senate by the minister of justice,
M. Monis. They were as follows:
The chamber of deputies, in ex-
pressing itself resolved not to sup
port any government but one deter
mined to defend energetically repub-
lican institutions and assure public or
