Americas supreme concern in China,

ST. PAUL MAKES RECORD
FAST WESTWARD PASSAGE BY THE
AMERICAN LINER.
Exciting Race with the Curnarder
Campania-Passengc Were In
tensely Interested.

NEW YORK, Aug. 31.-The American
line steamer st. Paul, Capt. John c. jamie
son. arrived to-day from Southampton and
Cherbourg. after a quick passage of six
days, seven hours and six minutes. This
time is the best made by the ST. Paul be-
tween this port and Cherbourg. and beats
the best time OF each of the big fleet OF
ocean greyhounds plying between Cher
bourg and this port. with the one excep-
ton of the present record holder. the Kaiser
William der Crosse. whose time is five
days. seventeen hours and thirty-seven
minutes. The best westward record OF the
steamer Deutschland from Cherbourg is
six days, seven hours and seven minutes,
which the St. Paul beats by one minute
The days runs of the st. Paul were: 1851
50S.7. 4S5.S SOLE. sos. 5o42 and 1643, making
a total of 3.052 miles with an average speed
of 20.l9 knots per hour. The st. Paul was
in company with the Cunard line steamer
Campania. having sighted her yesterday
morning and remained in company with her
the greater portion of the day.
The ST. Paul now holds second place in
the westward records of both the Cher
bourg and Southampton routes. Her record
from Southampton is considerably better
than the Cherbourg record. On the voyage
of the ST. Paul. ending Aug. IA. 1896. the
time of passage from Southampton was six
days and thirty-one minutes. making an
hourly average speed of 2lOS knots
After the St. Paul reached her dock to-
night the passengers told OF the great race
the liner made with the Cunarder Cam
pania. They said the interest in the race
was so great that nearly all the passen-
gers remained awake Thursday night and
until dawn Friday morning. On Thursday
evening, before nightfall the Campania
was sighted about five hundred miles out
and was then ahead of the st. Paul by
about four miles. A race was inevitable.
The st. Paul made burst of speed and
steadily forged ahead. The nerves of every
passenger and Of the crew were keyed to
the straining point. The interest i'm the race
continued while the vessels were in sight
of one another, but before the dawn the
st. Paul was so far ahead that the Cam
pania could not be seem The ST. Paul was
at her dock when the Campania anchored
at quarantine for the night.
Among the passengers con the St. Paul
were Hon. Nelson w. Aldrich, Hon. Frank
j. Cannon, Hon. John Dalzell and Hon.
