BREAKS RECORD FOR NAVY,
Speed of sO.s Knots Attained by the
New Torpedo Boat De-
strOyer Bailey

In a squirt of about two minutes du-
ration the other day at Newport in
government test for the standardiza-
ton of its propellers, the torpedo-b boat
destroyer Bailey made rate of speed
of 30 $40 knots. This is higher rate
than any vessel of the United States
navy has yet reached. The Bailey is
built to make but 80 knots. 1t is not
believed or expected that the Bailey
can maintain the record speed for any
length of time, but the test showed how
swife descent upon an enemy the boat
could make in actual war. The engines
worked with remarkable smoothness
and evenness and the board of naval
officers conducting the trial were sur
prised that the vibration of the craft
was hardly noticeable.

NOTED MAN OUT
 OF PUBLIC LIFE Rear Admiral Philip Hichborn is Now on the Re-
 tired ist

Washington, February 24-The retire. ment of Rear Admiral Philip Hichborn, for eight years past chief Constructor of the navy, marks the passage from pub lie life of one of the ablest naval men in our history. From shipwright appren- tice at the Boston navy yard he rose steadily through the various grades of the construction branch of the service until in July, 1893, he was appointed chief of the bureau of construction and repair. the highest position in the construction corps. In 1880 when Congress determined to reorgnize the navy Admiral Hich- born, then a naval constructor, was chosen to serve as a member of the first naval advisory board and four years later was selected by Secretary Chandler to go abroard in the capacity of a naval expert and investigate progress In Eu- rope. He has always been a staunch ad- vocate of sheathed ships and In the face of strong opposition succeeded in having this type of vessels into the navy.
 Admiral Hichborns designs of ships and invention of naval accoutrement are in evidence throughout the service, prom inent among them being the Barbette turrets commonly known as "Hichborn turrets," the Franklin life buoy, which Is in use in this and nearly all European navy submarine boats, water tube boil CTS, fire-proof wood and complete set of ship boats which have been adopted as the standard. The admiral also has been foremost in the design and construc- ton of the battleships and cruisers for the new navy now being contracted for by shipbuilders throughout the country. Admiral Hichborn retires by age limit March 4th, but already has relinquished the active duties of his position.

RESIDENCE ROBBED
 FOR THE THIRD TIME
Mrs. Nixon's Fashionable Boarding House Again Entered by Burglar.
 Two Gold Watches Stolen.

For the third time in three months the residence of Mrs J. T. Nixon, Fourth avenue and Twenty-first street. was en- tered Saturday night by burglar and some of the inmates were robbed of val uable belongings.
 The house, which was formerly the res- idence of the late Dr. H. M. Caldwell, is large and roomy structure and Is kept by Mrs Nixon as a fashionable boarding house. In addition to Mrs Nix on's numerous outside boarders, ten or dozen of the leading young men of Bir- mingham occupy rooms in the house.
 Yesterday morning 1t was discovered that some burglar had robbed each of two of the guests of a valuable gold watch, and had rified the pockets of oth- CTS. though falling to secure much that was of value.
 Investigation showed that the burglar had planted a short five-round ladder against the window of bath room at the rear of the house, had forced tho fast enings of the window by some thin and sharp instrument, and by such means en- tered the house. Practically the ladder Is the only clue. It Is short and of cheap est make, and there is clear evidence that it had been standing for sometime pre- viously in an ashheap. presumably in some backyard in low quarter of the city.
 The police were informed of the out rageous burglary, and a detective was sent to the scene of the crime
 It seems especially deplorable that Mrs. Nixon's residence should be so frequent ly robbed, but doubtless the personal im- portance of her guests lends the impress sion that there are always valuables which burglars may secure. In one of the previous robberies the burglar secured part of his booty an eighteen hundred dollar watch, the property of William Mudd Martin, and nothing has since been heard of its whereabouts, though MT. Martin offered a reward of $500 for the return of the watch

 FEAR THE FUTURE
Looking Forward to April l
 With Much Concern
MINERS MAY AGAIN STRIKE
The Organization of the Miners Is Trying to be Conservative and Believes That a Strike
 Can Be Avoided.

Pittsburg, Pa, February A-The Com nercial Gazette tomorrow will say:
 while the industrial east, with its rail- ways and other interests largely dove AaIIsd with the anthracite collieries, is ,eostnG forward with dread anticipation f.r the advent of April 1, as the day on which another great miners strike may ha called, the body of the United Mine Workers Is standing on a conservative piasrorrn, which Is reasonably certain to shviate anything of the kind.
 Even if the anthracite operators refuse Q meet the miners in joint wage confer snrs, 1t is possible that strike can be avoided. Consent in any form. even if sniy tacit, to allow the present anthra- stnn ae7eeruent to continue, thus opening ths way for the miners to correct various leoal cordftfons, promises to close the nsFter, Miners of the bftaminous fields Ere vastly interested in the outcome of the proposed wage scfredsIas In the an- thractte field. Tho opinion of represen- ts&sys nnirsrs dn thn Battsburg district would seem that since the bituminous fields have settled their wage scale at last year rabes, barring local complica- ssons, the anthracite wage question might hs settlsd on the same basis.
 Hhe Indianapolis convention directed xRe ofrsoezs Of the anthxactbe district to nl5ck a custom of operators to lay up lazve seccAs of coal by organizing cur sanment of wosk to meet the conditions sk the nnaxQcef Thts Is now being done end ik the miners are making their only Aggressive move that may figure in the pvopossd settlement next month.
 R. D. Ryan, sscrstazy-traasurer of the Illinois miners. said recently in relation b the anthracite situation:
 with satisfactory scale settled for tho batzminous fields, hitch in the an- thrarate fields would hardly justify the calling on strike of the entire organiza- ton"
 In the Pittsburg district prompt re- affirmation of the present scale will probably be tied up for time by a de- mand of the miners for the chsck-off sys- tenn. It would mean everything to the organization here, putting 1t in the way of trebling in a year its present member ship in good standing of about 12, 900.
 Representatives of the miners are going abroad in the unorgantzed Irwin and AL legheny valley fields. They hope that the organization may be in a position to make a demand for the Irwin field with fair prospects of establishing it on April l, with the possibility of declaring a strike and organizing marches.
