FASTEST BATTLEShlP AFLOAf.
The Big Illinois Is the Finest OF Uncle Sans
Warships.. Successful Trial.

Boston (SpeciaD With the proud
distinction OF being the fastest battle
ship in America and the speediest OF her
class in the world. the new sea fighter
Illinois lies at anchor in Presidents
Roads, after most successful trial.
Over the government course, from Cape
Ann to Cape PorpoiSe and return, a
distance OF 90 nautical miles, she raced
under the watchful eyes OF United
States naval representatives and estab-
lished a new record by maintaining an
average speed OF 1871 knots for four
consecutive hours.
Not only did she demonstrate that
she was faster than any warship OF her
size ahoat, but she proved her ability TO
turn upon an enemy with extraordinary
quickness by describing complete cir
Gle within 800 yards or little more than
twice her length. in three minutes and
ten seconds, while plow:ug through the
sea at full speed.
Steadness and reserve power charac-
terized the performance OF the ship
throughout the severe test. The work
OF her engines was smooth, and even
the records OF the day showed but one
tenth of knot difference between the
northern run and the return. The ma
chinery easily met every requirement
and not an accident OF any kind marred
the success OF the day.
Rear Admiral Evans, who acted as
president OF the trial board, as we'll as
the other naval officers who participated
in the trial, were thoroughly pleased
with the new champion, and as she
steamed back to her anchorage with a
broom at her masthead, the officials oil
the Newport News Shipbuilding Com
pany, whose three years OF labor had
reached such happy climax, were en-
Enthusiastically congratulated.
The completed figures Tor the entire
GO knots gave 3:3S:4o elapsed time and
the average speed 1871 kno S per hour
Tidal corrections may make slight al
terations in these figures. but the
chances are not likely to affect the re-
suit materially.

Big Coal OUTPUT Last Year.

Ofhcial reports show that the year 1000
closed the century with the largest coal
production ever recorded in the United
States and continued the supremacy of
the United States among the coal pro-
ducing countries of the world. Practi-
cally completed returns to Edward w.
Parker, statstician of the United States
Geological Survey, show the total out
put of coal in 1000 to have been 267, 542,-
444 short tons an increase over the pre-
cedng year of I3,8o2,452 tons, or little
more than 5 per cent.
The value of this product was $2o7,-
100000, an increase of 10 per cent. over
1899. Coal producers felt much great
cr benefit from the improved trade con-
dltions in 1909 than in either 1893 or
1899. Coal contracts are usually made a
long time ahead, sometimes more than
year, and much coal was delivered in
1890 at less than ii cost to produce it,
the price OF labor having advanced be-
tore the operators could advance the
price of coal. The value of the coal
product in 1900 (the value being free on
board cars at the mines) was equal 10
nearly one-third of the value of the
total mineral poduct of the United
States in 1900.

WEST BADEN HOTEL
DESTROYED BY FIRE.
Three Hundred People Have Narrow
Escape in Indiana.
SCENES OF Widest CONFUSION.
Not Certain That Al the Quests and Employees
Escaped. as the Register and All Records
Were Destroyed..Fire Breaks Out Early 10
the Merning, and 10 Few Minutes Sweeps
Through the Large Frame Building.

West Baden. Ind (Special) The
Mineral Springs Hotel, at this place, is
mass of ruins after one of the most
disastrous hotel fires in the history OF
the country. The flames broke out at
O'Clock a. M. while nearly 900 people
were asleep in the building. The scene
during the next hour was one of the
widest confusion. but seemingly by a
miracle no lives were lost.
In less than two hours after the flames
were discovered the hotel had been burn
ed to the ground. The loss is about half
a million.
There were 22s people registered AZ
the hotel. The employees sleeping in the
building made the number in the hotel
at the time OF the fire nearly 800 The
large frame structure burned so rapidly
that those in the builing had difficulty in
escaping. The hotel guests and others,
aroused from sleep. were forced TO leave
the building without their clothes Many
streamed forth into the street in their
night clothes Hundreds were also bare
footed.
Those staying at the hotel lost their
trunks and everything in their rooms, as
practically nothing was saved.
Scenes of the widest confusion mark
ed the progress of the flames. Women
rushed to the balconies which surround
ed the hotel and jumped to the ground.
Those who occupied inside rooms rushed
down the stairs. Many tainted from ex-
element. On the streets. in the chill
night air and rain, several hundred peo-
pie in their night clothes we're huddied
for hours. During the early morning
many wealthy persons begged from door
to door for wraps and clothing of any
description.
The Mineral Springs Hotel at West
Baden was erected IL years ago and
contained 700 rooms The owners re-
Gently refused $I,ooo,ooo for the hotel,

LIVE NATIONAL AFFAIRS.
For lhe Britlsh American PIan.

Washington.--The news dispatches
from Pekin convey to the official mind
here the belief that what is known as the
British-American plan Of settling the in
demnity question is making headway,
and that il will in the end be adopted as
the only feasible scheme. Although
often mentioned, the details of the Brit
ish plan have not heretofore been given.
and they were learned from an authorl-
tative source to be as follows:
The Chinese government is to issue
bonds to each of the powers to the
amount of the indemnity due each. These
bonds are to bear 4 per cent interest, with
clause providing u per cent amortiza-
ton. Certain of the Chinese revenues,
not specifically designated in the propo
sition, are TO be ear-marked for the liqui-
dation of the bonds. A committee APP
pointed by the foreign powers is to take
charge OF questions relating to the reve-
nues thus ear-marked, and the commit
tee is to arrange details by which the
revenues are to be applied on the bonds.
In case of default on the bonds the de-
fault is to be 20 the committee, and not to
the several powers. The foregoing is in
substance the entire proposition, but later
1t was proposed in addition that the
period OF the bonds be 80 years and that
they be issued in installments In this
form the proposition stood up TO within q
few days ago, but it is not known in what
particulars il may have been. modified by
the ministers.

FERRY BOAT SUNK
IN A COLLISION.
Lives Lost in Terrible Accident in
New York Harbor.
MANY PEOPLE LHApnD OVERHEARD.
Over Hundred Dragged 0ut Of the Water by
The Crews Of Steam Tugs and People Along
the Shore :. The Sidewheeier NorthflcId
Rammed by the Steel Propeller Maueh
Chunk Just OF the Staten Island Ferry Slip.

New York (SpeciaD The wooden
side wheeler Mortified, which has been
in the service OF the Staten Island Fer
ry Company for the past 38 years, was
rammed by the steel-hulled propeller
Mauch Chunk, used as a ferryboat by the
Central Railroad OF New Jersey. The
collision occurred just of the Staten
Island ferry slip at the foot OF White
hall street. and in less than ten minutes
afterwards the Northheld. which was
crowded with passengers, sank at the
outer end of the Spanish Line pier in
the East river.
The Mauch Chunk. which was badly
damaged, landed the two dozen passen-
gers who were aboard OF her. Over a
hundred OF the passengers OF the sunken
Mortified were dragged out OF the
water by people along shore and the
crews OF the fleet OF river tugs. which
promptly responded to the ferryboat's
all for help. A few OF the Mortified S
passengers were hurt in the accident.
and the police believe that some lives
were lost.
Captain Daniel Gully, OF the tugboat
Mutual, who saw the ferryboats crash
together, says that Immediately after the
collision between twenty-five and thirty
OF the passengers leaped into the water,
and that many OF these perished. Cap
tain Gully also declares that he is sure
over a hundred OF the Northield's pas
sengers were drowned. The captains
OF other tugboats who were early on the
scene. however, are inclined to think
that the disaster was not so serious as
regards the loss OF life. Thus far no
dead bodies have been recovered.
The reason for such a difference OF
opinion as to the extent OF the disaster
is that the widest excitement prevailed
on the Mortified The tug Mutual
saved in all about Is persons from the
Mortified, and the tugs Unity and Ar
row saved between them $50 persons.
Two policemen OF the Old Slip Station
claim to have rescued nearly 80 people
between them.
AS soon as the crowd which followed
the sinking ferryboat along the river
front were able to render any aid they
worked with a will and in many in
stances men sprang into the water to
save life. The greatest service was rem
dered by the tugboats. which, as soon
as is was possible, circled around the
Mortified and made a Fridge to the
Spanish Line pier, and men and women
clambered over the tugs to the shore.

Expects a Great Crash.

Congress will have plenty to do next
winter and abundance OF time in which
to do it, said Representative Mercer,
Chairman OF the House Committee on
Public Buildings and Grounds.
Among other things, | expect con-
siderable progress will be made toward

Secretary OF Agriculture, and he has
planned Tor all elegant structure on the
site OF the present department building.
Attorney General Knox appears to be
satisfied to wait for further Congress
sional action before erecting the De-
partment OF Justice Building. The site
Tor that building is too small and some
day we may have fine structure else
where which will accommodate the De-
partment OF Justice, the Supreme Court
and the Court of Claims.
The trust question will doubtless be
literally discussed in Congress. | have
not paid much attention to the Babcock
bill and have no views to express con-
cerning it. | think the trusts will
sooner or later care for themselves and
anticipate heavy crash at some future
time. They cannot hope to continue
consolidating time after time. and every
time they consolidate injecting a guam

ties. Sooner or later there will come a
time when the holders OF the securities
will want to be paid and where is the
money to come from? The way they

larger amount The people hold these
notes, and some day they will want

The field events came to an abrupt
ending and the participants joined in

hospital, with a score OF physicians and
surgeons in attendance.
