SUCCESSFUL TEST.
The Chitose Subjected to n Very Severe
Trial Trip.

Santa Barbara, Cal, Jan. 3.-The pro-
tected cruiser Chitose, built by the I'm
ion iron works of San Francisco for the
japanese government, has successfully
completed the most severe trial to
which she will be subjected before ac-
ceptance. She made a six-hours' run
over the course in Santa Barbara chan
mel to-day, averaging Pas knots per
hour. where but eos are required and
developing a maximum speed of 81. 3S
under natural draught. This completes
her work In these waters and she
leaves tonight or nor for San
Francisco. But n test remains. a two
hours run under forced draught. in
which she must average 22.5 knots and
this will be made outside of the Golden
Gate. This test has been also practic-
ally completed. for the cruiser has
averaged 22.S6 knots on two separate oc-
casions on a run OF over an hour each
time. The contract, however. requires
that the speed must be maintained for
two consecutive hours and the per-
Torrance will be repeated.

to give his consent to his wishes on that
understanding, he was willing to yield

to go to England, into family that
