WISCONSIN A WORLD BEATER
FASTEST BATTLEsHIP IN THE WORLD WONDERFUL RECORD
MADE ON HER TRIAL TRIP

Santa Barbara, Calf, Oct. 12.The
Wisconsin has just completed the most
successful trial trip ever made by a bat
tleship, and she is pronounced the finest
vessel ever turned out by the Union Iron
Works At the start many things seemed
against a successful trial. An easterly
wind was Kicking up choppy sea and
threatening a squaly voyage. After
preliminary spin over part of the course
the big vessel steamed full ahead, passing
theh eastern beacon at 1920 Il. M, at
speed exceeding 1G knots. The course was
marked by the battleshp Iowa, gunboat
Ranger, training ship Adams and cruis-
ler Philadelphia. Between the Ranger and
Gavieta at which point the Wisconsin
gained her maximum speed of 1854 knots
per hour, and maintained throughout the
westerly course an average speed of 1919
knots. The average speed of the entire
run, 64 knots. was 1925 knots per hour.
The only other battleship approaching
this speed is the Alabama, which aver
aged 1903 knots and attained a maxi
mum speed of 1903 knots. The average
number of propeller revolutions during

WEhE CONGER'S GUESTS.
Return of Mrs. Woodward and Daugh-
ter From Pekin.

2 Chicago, Oct. 12.-Mrs. M. S. Wood
ward and her daughter lone, who spent
several months at Pekin as the guests of
United States Minister Conger, and who
Were imprisoned within the British lesa-
tion during the long weeks of waiting
and hardships while the Boxers We're
menacing them, arrived at their home in
Eva aston last evening. They We're ac-
companied by Mr.. Woodward, who met
them in San Francisco when they landed
from the steamer Coptic, on which they
had made the trip from the Orient. The
story of the trials and suffering of the
white missionaries and Chinese converts
in Pekin is graphically told in a letter
just received in Chicago from Maud
Mackey, California girl and one of the
Presbyterian missionaries in North
China. DR.. Mackey has been in China a
little more than year and her station
was at Pao Ting Flu. She had gone to Pc
kin in the spring to secure Chinese
teacher and thereby escaped the death
which befell the other missionaries at
her home station. She was in the COM
pound at Pekin during the assault and
bambardment by the Boxers.

the western run was 1884 per minute
and on the return 119.15 a difference Of
only 10 of a revolution. So close a run
has never been made before. The aver
age steam pressure was $50 pounds and
the vessel was under forced darueh
The boiler valves lifted frequently When
at her maximum speed the vibration was

rections, when computed. will Indicate
greater speed than recorded as the cur

period than with her. The weather con-
lnued squally, some rain falling untir
more than half the course was complet-
ed. After turning at the wesern beacon,
Off Point Conception, she had whitecap

was not marrins incident, not an irreg-

run and put her through the required evo.

few among them who have Sir Charles
bikes courage in stating his conviction
with perfect frankness and consistenc".
lr. Clarke, who has done more harm to
the liberal cause than any other liberal,
has been completely routed at Caithness,
13 months after he advised Mr.. Kruger to
seize the passes in the Transvaal. Mr..
Harmsworth, a strong liberal imperial
list, barely succeeded in defeating the
unionist candidate there after an excit-
ing contest. A well known firm of news
paper owners is at last personally repre-
sented in parliament.
Lord Salisbury persists in brooding
over affairs in silence and all conjectures
respecting cabinet changes are prema-
ture. Lord Cromer's return to England
is generally interpreted as sign that he
will enter the cabinet, but as to this
there is no authoritative confirmation.
He has military education and has dis
tinguished himself as f1nancier and
diplomat and is a man of great force and
capable of great effort.
The shrewdest men in political clubs
assign him to the foreign Office. They ex-
pect the election of Lord Landsowne to
Dublin as lord lieutenant of Ireland, and
the continuance Of Mr.. Chamberlain in
the colonial office, but they do not ex-
plain how the vacancies in the admiralty
and the war office will be filled. 1t is an
idle guessing match while the chief ora
Gle is silent.
Interest is beginning to be taken here
in the American presidential election.
The Post expresses the prevailing opin-
ion by the remark that if the American
people think Bryans convictions may en-
danger their prosperity, they will ward
off the peril by kee"ing him out.
The policy of Germany in China, re-
mains as before a search in the dark af-
ter a common basis of action on which
the powers can be united. Lord Sails
bury is apparently bent upon bringing
Germany and France together, and will
ultimately sanction the amended propo-
sitions of both these powers. The Berlin
and Paris dispatches assume that he has
already accepted the German and French
plans in principle, but reserves his judg
ment on the methods and the imperial
edict for the punishment Of Prince Tuan
and other leaders is a sign that the pow
ers are close together.

Schneider, the defaulting clerk. Is sup

The detectives for the surety company
which is on the clerks bond, and the
Pinkerton detectives, gave out th;.t they
had no clue to his whereabouts. Mr..
Schleimer, during the service of the re-
plevin papers on Mrs. Hart and others
yesterday, stopped long enough to say:
I'VE think we can lay our hands on
Schreiber whenever we want him. We
want to be sure that he will not kill
himself, and he must be approached
carefully. We will not say where he is,
but he is not in Europe"

New York, Oct. 12.-Horse circles are
stirred over the news given out by the
Fasig -Tipton company that the great
racing stable of c. ]. and j. II. Hamlin
has been consigned to the Fasig- Upton
great ten days sale that follows the
Horse Show in Madison Square Garden.
The reason for the breaking up of this
stable is said to be due to a desire of c.
] Hamin to retire from the business
and hand over to his two sons the entire
breeding and management. The Ham
Inns have decided that the enterprise is
too big for them to conduct, and they
have decided to sell out the entire racing

horsemen to be a judicous one, as all of
the horses are now n their zenith and

was turned in and soon every engine in
the city was at the scene or on the way

buildings occupied by Schaper Bros,

The loss of buildings and stocks of
goods is approximately $l,500.000.
Definite figures are exceedingly hard
to obtain. The fact that it was Sun
day. and that neither proprietors nor
insurance adjusters were at their
places OF business, contributed much
to this. Few proprietors or owners
could be found, and those who were
declared their inability TO give def
mite information. There were six re-

in varying proportions among a score
or more of small shop keepers or firms.
Only two concerns suffered losses of
