KEARSARGE IS A FAST BOAT.
Big Hattie Ship Averaged Nearly IL
Knots in Yesterdays Trial


The battle ship kearsarge on her official
speed trial over the Cape Ann course yes
terday averaged 1854 knots per hour. On
the outward run of thirty three knots she
averaged 1872 knots, with smooth sea and
wind abeam On the return she averaged
1851 knots against head wind. The con-
tract requirement was sixteen knots. The
trial was successful in every particular.
The Kearsarge carried four blge and two
docking keels. the Iowa alone being pre-
scented in this shape for her trial run, and
it is to the credit Of the kearsarge that
her relative speed with 800 horsepower
less and $50 tons greater displacement, was
approximately equal TO that of the Iowa
although the latter on her trial made 1902
for average.
The course of thirty-three knots was
marked by five boats, as follows: The
Scorpion at the start, next the Lilac, May
flower, Potomac, Resolute and at the outer
mark the Leyden.
The run to the eastward showed fine fig
ures. whatever tide there being on
the third and fourth legs. The run was
without incident, and the average was
much better than IL knots. AS the Ley
den passed the ships helm was put
first to port and then to starboard, the
maneuver being repeated to show with
what degree of nicely she answered the
wheel. Finally the wheel went hard over
and the ship circled to port and headed
on the return, having been over % min
utes maneuvering. On the run back the
conditions much changed. the wind
blowing strongly from ahead and the
being swept by long sWells.
The Kearsarge, while nominally a 16-
knot craft. will probably be spoken of in
naval circles as of II knots, based on her
performance yesterday with a green crew
and under economical conditions. Accord
ing to Rear Admiral Rodgers, president of
the board Of inspection and survey, she is
remarkably stiff and a fine boat in every
respect Summary:

VICTIMS LUReD ON MANACLES
Mysterious Current said to Draw
Mariner Toward Rocks-PHris
strikes N Pier.

FALMOUTH, Eng, July 1S.-On entering
the tidal harbor today the steamer Paris,
recently aground on the iManacles, under
the influence Of the wind and tide, became
temporarily unmanageable. The stern
swung round and struck the end of q
wooden pier upon which large crowd of
people had assembled. The pier shook
from end to end, the spectators became
panic stricken and made an ugly rush to
escape Ultimately control of the ship was
regained and 1t was anchored safely.
Superintendent Aisbett OF the wrecking
company gave a representative Of the AS
ISOLATED Press today a contribution of a
startling nature to the controversy as to
the cause of wrecks on the Manacles. He
said: "ln bringing the Parls TO Falmouth
it narrowly escaped the big Manacle rock.
1t was ebb-tide, with uortherly wind blow
ing which would naturally take the vessel
south; but we found 1t getting nearer and
uearer the Manacles until within 400 yards
of them, whereas we ought to have been a
mile to the southwark Things looked queer
for a time, but we altered our tactics and
cleared the rock.
From what / have seen during the last
six weeks l am confident some mysterious
current draws the vessel toward the rocks.
While working on the Paris we warned
numberless vessels OF the danger they
were in"

CONSUL ROSE DEFENDS HIS COURSE.
German Omcial in Samoa Attempts to
Justify His Position.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-Herr Rose, the
German consul general at Samoa during
the recent exciting events there, arrived in
Washington Unexpectedly today and re-
ported to the German embassy. Ambassador
Holleben was about to start for New York
to meet Mr. Mumm, the official who has
come on from Berlin to act as charge
d'affaires this summer but before his de-
parture he accompanied Herr Rose to the
State department and presented him to Sec
retary Hay and Assistant Secretary Hill,
This gave an opportunity for rather ex-
| tended conference on Samoan affairs in the
course OF which Herr Rose defended his
course during the troublous days of last
spring and explained his view of many of
the incidents in which he and Admiral
| Kautz and the various other officials at
Samoa were concerned
The period of Herr Roses service covered
also the contention over Chief Justice Cham
bers decision as to the right of Malietoa
| to occupy the throne OF Samoa and the clash
| with the natives following the questions
raised as to this decision. Herr Rose pre-
sented his version of these incidents quite
! fully. lie will remain here for several days
before going to Berlin, His visit to Wash
| ington is said to have no special signif-
cance further than to meet the officials OF
| the German embassy and the State depart
ment. Herr Rose brought word that the
work OF the commission might be prolonged
beyond July IA, when they had hoped tc
sail on the Badger.

eight wagons with several bucks, resisted
arrest on Buck creek, Wyoming. for killing
game contrary to law.
Amos Demming, deputy sheriff Of Con-
verse county. and posse left Lusk on
Wednesday with warrants for the arrest of
the Indians and overlook them at Buck
creek Thursday morning. After reading
the warrants the Indians refused to so with
the sheriff and drew a line and told him
that if he crossed it there would be war
and backed 1t up with their Winchesters.
There was a moment of great suspense,
the deputies being clearly out of 1t, as
the Indians were decidedly in the majority.
Being outnumbered the sheriff went to
Edgemont to get help and papers for the
arrest of the Indians in South Dakota, as
they crossed the line. Deputy Sheriff
George Miller of Edgemont will go out with
them in the morning with an increased
force.
Sheriff Demming telcgraphed the Indian
agent at Pine Ridge to have force OF
Indian police go out to intercept the In

and Wyoming posse. 1t is expected the
Indians will be overtaken somewhere near
the agency, as they crossed Cottonwood
creek, near Edgemont. this afternoon. and
are travelling for all there is in it.
The Indians have travelled over sixty
miles today, but their ponies are still going
seemingly as fresh ever, although the
deputies are certain they are nearly played
out.
The Indians went through the sheep herd
of n. S. Tubbs this afternoon and stole all
the herders' bedding and food. William

OPENING CHINA TO THE WORLD
Immense Alliance of British aud
American Capital is Dedicated
to the Enterprise.

NEW YORK, July 13.-The Tribune will
say: A business alliance of American and
English capitalists has been recently formed
which is of unusual interest and Importance
because of the leading positions held by
these men on both sides, and the many mil
lions involved in it, because the United
States government is about TO he asked to
give the compact official sanction and moral
support: because England has already
formally approved it and because the field
of it's operations is beyond the jurisdiction
of both nations.
Announcement of this alliance was made
yesterday by F. w. Whiteridgc, of the firm
of Cary & Whiteridge, who now fills the
place left vacant by the death of eX-Sena-
tor Calvin S. Brice. as chairman of the
executive committee of the American China
Development company. The company is one
party to the agreement and the other is
the British and Chinese corporation. This
makes a combination of the most powerful
companies in the world. The field OF their
activities is China

cured from the Chinese government for the
American China Development company con-
sists of the right to construct railroad 75S

and other industrial franchises Of less indi'

The British company had contract tt
build a 1s0-mile railway from Canton tt
Kowloon on the sea coast. The company re
solved to pool their undertaking and thu
profit. The British company apparentl!
got the better of the bargain, but their abil
