SHEBEAT S THEN: ALL !.
WISCONSIN THE FASTEST BATTLE
SHIP IN THE WORLD. IS
in Her Trial Trip the Big Warship
Break. All Records-Her omcial
Average for Four-Hours' Run 10
Announcer as 1925 Knots Per
Hour-And the Conditions Were
Only Fair Mt That-Exceeds the
Alabama's Record by Fifteen
Hundredths of a Knot.

Santa Barbara, Cal, Oct. 13.-The
battlesbip Wisconsin broke all records
on her trial trip here yesterday, and is
the fastest ship of her class in the
world. Her official average for the
four hours run is announced as 17.25
knots, or .15 better than the record
made by the Alabama. The trial took
place over the regular course in
Santa Barbara channel and the con-
ditions were only fair. There was
fresh breeze from the eastward but
the sea was comparatively smooth.
The actual time in which she covered
the sixty-four miles of the trial
course was 3:36:56, including the turn
for the run back. With the time for
the turn deducted and the allowance
for the tidal influences, her actual
speed was 1925 knots.
The battleship Iowa was the stake
boat at the starting point and took a
position at 8 o'clock. The Wisconsin
steamed past her, turned and then
made her way back, a distance Of
about four miles from the Iowa, in
readiness for the start. The measured
course of thirty-two miles was marked
by the Iowa, Ranger, Adams and
Philadelphia at intervals of eight
miles, the Philadelphia making the
turning point. At 10 o'clock the Wis
consin was discerned blowing her way
toward the starting point. and in a,
very short time had reached the iowa,
carrying before her immense bow a
wave of snowy water. But little smoke
issued from her twin tunnels as she
blew her whistle at 10:21:19, denoting
that the race against time was on, and
a quaItity of smoke showed how fine
a quality Of coal was being used, al
though her twin stacks We're already
burned black under the intense heat
Of the forced draft.
Shortly after passing the Iowa the
sun came out and the fresh easterly
breeze moderated, which favored the
stately leviathan upon her run back.
AS she passed the mark upon her re-
turn she blew her whistle loud and
long, and the cheers of her crew and
those on board as the guests could be
plainly heard on board the Iowa. The
Wisconsin in squirt for a short dis
lance made the remarkable speed of
1854 knots.

Youtsey I'm a Heavy stupor.

Georgetown, KY, Oct. 10. - The re-
ports from Henry Youtsey's sick room
last night We're not encouraging. The
only change perceptible is that his
stupor is not quite so heavy. Once or
twice he has lifted his hand an inch
or two and in a weak piping voice re-
peated: There's no blood on my
hands" His physicians fear brain
fever, which would now almost surely
prove fatal. 1t is contended by some
that the stupor is caused by heavy
doses of opiates, but the majority of
people here believe he is almost in a
dying condition, and that his trial
cannot be resumed.
