FINEST WARSHIP AFLOAT
THE WISCONSIN ATTAINS MAXIMUM
SPEED OF 1854 KNOTS.
Battle Ship Makes an Average of 1925
Knots Over q Course Of
Sfxty-FOur Knots.

SANTA BARBARA, Cal, October --.-
The Wisconsin has just completed the most
successful trial trip ever made by a battle
ship, and she is pronounced the finest ves-
sci ever turned out by the Union iron
works. At the start many things seemed
against a successful trial. An easterly
wind was kicking UP a choppy sea and
threatening a squally voyage. After pre-
liminary spin over part of the course the
big vessel steamed full ahead, passing the
eastern beacon at 1920 m. at a speed ex-
ceeding 16 knots. The course was marked
by the battle ship Iowa, gunboat Ranger,
training ship Adams and cruiser Philadel-
phia. Between the Ranger and Gavieta
wharf the Wisconsin gained her maximum
speed Of 1854 knots per hour, and MAIN
tanned throughout the westerly course an
average speed Of 1888. The average speed
Of the entire run "a Knots, was 1925 knots
per hour. The only other battle ship ap-
preaching this speed is the Alabama, which
averaged 1903 knots and attained a maxi
mum speed of 1903 knots. The average
number Of propeller revolutions during the
western run was 1884 per minute, and on
the return 1915, q difference Of only 10 of
a revolution So close run has never been
made before. The average steam pressure
was $50 pounds, and the vessel was under
forced draught. The boiler valves lied
frequently. When at her maximum speed
the vibration was slight; approximately
the horse power was 11,SOO. 1t Is expected
that the tidal corrections when computed
will indicate greater speed than recorded,
as the current was against the vessel for
longer period than with her
The weather continued squally, some rain
railing until more than half the course was
completed. After turning at the western
beacon off Point Conception, she had a
whitecap sea, bows on, for nearly. one
fourth of the return course. She shippe
no water forward but the water rose in
the bow wave twenty-five feet From the
start TO fnish there was not a marring in
cident, not an irregularity in the move
ments of the machinery. Without stopping
the engines, the trial board took charge of
the ship after the run and put her through
the required evolutions.

Bryan and the Labor Vote.
THE CHILE-PERU DISPUTE.
Points Left to the Decision of the
Queen Regent of Snain.

Minister Calderon of Peru had a rather
long talk with Secretary Hay today. Mr.
Calderon has only recently presented his
credentials, and the conference was for
the purpose of going over the relations be-
tween the two governments, which at pres
ent are Of the most harmonious character
Concerning the reports of serious trouble
impending between Chile and Peru, Mr..
Calderon says that everything points to
satisfactory adjustment of all pending
questions. 1t appears that the Queen Re-
gent of Spain has been chosen as arbitra-
tor of two points on which the governments
have not reached a settlement, all the re-
naming points being included in a written
agreement. This agreement has already
been approved by the congress Of Peru,
and will be submitted to the Chilean con-
gress, which is about to assemble. The
points left to the arbitration of the Queen
Regent of Spain relate chiefly to those who
will be permitted to vote in the plebscite
as to the future of the provinces of Tacna
and africa. The sovereignty over these
provinces has long been a source of con-
tention, and is to be finally determined by
a plebiscite among the people themselves
The desire of Peru Is to have the plebiscite
confined to natives of the two provinces or
actual residents at the time the settlement
was made. But this and other questions as
to the franchise right will be determined by
the queen regent. With this question de-
terrnined, Mr.. Calderon says, Peru's foreign
relations will be placed on a most satisfac-
tory and stable basis

upon the question of the tardness of the
work on the large addition to the bureau
Of engraving and printing. July IA con-
tract was awarded to Z. L. Leech & Son

addition to the bureau. The plans call for
q structure of the same shape and appear
ance as the existing building and to be

have five large rooms, one on each floor,
and will be used by engravers and other
workmen, relieving the present crowded
condition Of the building.
The contract calls for the completion Of
the building in six months. So far little
more has been done than to make the exca-
vaion and there is little prospect of COM
pletion in the time set. 1t was decided to
notify the contractors that they must at
once take steps to hasten the work. If they
do not do so they will be given the re-
quired notice and the work done in some

COLUMBUS, Ohio October 12.-Reports
from the general registration Of voters
which is required in all the large cities be-
gan yesterday, and, though necessarily in
complete, so far as they have been re-
ceived tend to disprove the general apathy
in the election that appeared on the sur
face. In this city, which is a fair exam
pie. the registration ran 169 voters per pre-
cinct to 142 per precinct on the first day Of
registration in 1896. Natural growth Of
the precincts will account for most Of this
increase, but that the registration should
even approach that of four years ago, when
interest was intense, is a surprise.
The hours were from Am. to pm. and
pm. to pm. The registration In the
first session was very low and that at the
second correspondingly rapid, since the first
session was intended mostly for profess
sional men and the second for laboring
men. The fact seems to indicate that the
laboring men are interested in the election
and the professional men are less SO. From
this the republicans argue that the pres
ent Industrial conditions suit the laboring
people Strong republican and strong DEM
ocrauc precincts showed alike heavy regis
trations. while the close ones were lighter.

Prescribed Response of Army Officers

The War Department has issued a gen.
eral order !nstructing officers as to the
character of the response they are to make
TO writs of habeas corpus calling for the
production in court of enlisted men or gen.
eral prisoners. This action was taken be-
cause of a recent action in Maine court,
whereby a civil court enormously discharg-
ed from the custody of the military author
tiles a minor who was awaiting trial by
court martial for fraudulent enlistment.
This order, known as No. 127, directs the
army officers to decline to produce an eh-
listed man or prisoner upon habeas corpus
issued from a state court, though the an
swer must be respectful and must cite the
fact that the United States Supreme Court
has decided that the state court is without
jurisdiction. In case of a writ issued by a
United States court, however, the prisoner
or enlisted man must be promptly delivered,
