The BATTLESHIp ILLINOIS.
Fastest of Her Class in the
World.

Boston, June 12.-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 Presi-
dents Roads tonight after a most sue
cessful trial. Over the government
course from Cape Ann to Cape Por-
poise and return, a distance of IS nau-
tical miles, she raced today under the
watchful eyes of the United States
naval representatives and established
a new record by maintaining an aver
age speed of 17.31 knots for four con-
secutive hours. Not only did she de-
monstrate that she was faster than any
warship of her size afoat, but she
proved her ability to turn upon an en-
emy with extraordinary quickness by
describing complete circle within
300 yards, or little more than twice
her length, in three minutes and ten
seconds, while ploughing through the
sea at full speed. Steadiness and re-
serve power characterized the per-
formance Of the ship throughout the
severe test.
The work of her engines was smooth
and even and the records of the day
showed but one-tenth of knot differ
ence in speed between the northern
run and the return. The machinery
easily met every requirement and not
an accident of any kind marred the
success Of the day.

McLAURfN's PLANS.

Washington, June 11.-Senator
McLaurin, who is in the city, de-
clares he will wage a campaign this
fall according to his own desires, and
does not propose to have Senator Till
man interfere with him. He will con-
tinue to address the people in all
partstsof the State until August, when
he will quit the stump for month
under the urgent advice of his physi-
clans, and resume his speechmaking
tour in September or October, contin-
uing to make addresses at intervals
until after the election next year.
The senator admits that the chances
would have been poor had he gone
into a contest at the present time
with Tillman, because he says Till
man completely dominates the existing
machine, which gives him tremend-
dous advantage in the primaries. But
this machine, he declares, will be
disrupted by the campaign of eduction
he is now waaging so that in another
year the voters will have an opportu-
nifty to assert themselves at the polls.
Senator McLaurin talks with an opti-
mism that is becoming infectious
among his friends in Washington, who,
when he fist threw down the gauntlet
to Tillman. thought he stood no posi-
bic show of victory.

AMERICAN PENSION SYSTEM.

Nothing is more disgusting than the
frothy defamation we hear sometimes
from pension agents and pension
sharks, and the knaves who work the
pension business in politics, that the
republic is ungrateful in its treat
ment of the veteran soldiers of the
civil war. There is no instance in his
tory, ancient or modern, sacred or
profane, where there has been such
profusion and hberality as in the
American pension system. 1t would
have bankrupted the country but for
its marvellous wealth and resources.
From the close of the civil war to the
end of the current fiscal year the pen
sion disbursements from the United
States treasury will have been 2,545
millions of dollars, sum very nearly
as large as the maximum of the ma
tional debt in 1865. In addition to
this outlay worthy veterans have had
the benefit of artificial limbs for the
disabled, preference rin political ap-
pointment, nationl and state homes,
soldiers orphan schools and over TO-
600, 900, acres of bounty land. There
IS nothing to compare IN history with
the liberality and generosity. with
which American citizens have repaid
their debt to the American soldier.
There is a question, however, that
while the pension has been in every
way advantageous to thousands. its
very hberality has had demoralizing
effect in pauperizing other thousands.

A Worse Tnan Barren Victory.

London, June 13-Sir David Bar.
bour, whom the chancellor of the ex-
chequer, Sir Michael Hicks-Beach,
sent to South Africa to investigate
the sources of revenue of the trans.
vaal and Orange River Colony with
the view of estimating how much they
should contribute towards the cost of
the war, reports III favor of 10 per
cent tax on the profits of the mines,
yielding on the basis of the profits OF
1898 e450. OC0 yearly. After paying
this Sir David Barbour considers the
mines will be better off than before as
they will save 100000 per year on
dynamite owing to the abolition of
the monopoly on that commodity. The
Orange River Colony will be unable
for some years to meet the ordinary
cost of administration and pay its
share of the cost of the constabulary.
"It cannot therefore, says Sir David
Barbour, so far as can be seen at
present, pay anything toward the cost
of the war.
The Transvaal, he thinks, can, two
years after the conclusion of peace, be
gin out of its ordinary revenue to pay
part of the cost OF the war. He is
unable now to estimate how much,
He proposes also to apply all revenues
from the Essale Of lands or mining
rights to the war liquidation.

AIabama's New Constitution.

Montgomery. Ala. June 1.-THE
first part of the new constitution was
today adopted by the Constitutional
Convention. The Office of Lieutenant
Governor was created and the Govern
or's salary raised from $1,000 to So
600. The terms of the executive officers
were heightened from two to four
years, but they are ineligible for re-
election.
TIE Governor cannot become can
didate for United States Senator with
in one year of expiration of his term.
The most sweeping suffrage scheme
yet brought forward was that intro
duced today by Burns, of Burnsville.
1t provides that the following classes
shall not vote:
tThose who are bastards or loafers,
or who may be infected with any
loathsome or contagious disease. Those
who have beer convicted of treason,
bribery, forgery, larceny, robbery,
bigamy, seduction, incest, murder, rape
or attempt to rape, arson or burglary.
Those who are descendants of parents
who are of or descendants of two or
more different races: those who shall
have married any women having a liv-
ing husband, from whom she has not
been legally divorced: those who have
committed any assault and battery on
his wife or step-daughter.'
This law destroys 80 per cent of the
negro vote and the ex-slaves who are
not debarred will be less than 5
per cent

A Hypnotist's Victim.
The GaGney Ledger says:

The Gafney Ledger says:
John Smith, one of Prof. Boone's
best subjects, created some excitement
Wednesday morning by suddenly fall
ing in the Gaffney Cotton Mill, where
he is employed as an operative, and
lying in a comatose condition for sew
eral hours, despite all efforts to arouse
him.
John had been hypnotizedss by Prof.
Boone both nights that he was here,
and ali kinds of opinions were rife in
regard to the cause of his action, or
rather, the cause of his inaction.
Some thought that Prof Boone pur-
posely left him under "spell," 9th
ers, that he exercised hypnotic infu-
ence over him from Charlotte, and
still others that the noise and buzz Of
the mill machinery were too much for
him in his weak state rom having
been hypnotized on the preceding
nights and were ir mental IN
bringing on the collaps
Anyway. John sles for several
hours, and as no one co1S bring him
to-" Prof. Boone was wA3d to come
back and awaken him. Finally, how
ever, Nh. Rufus Littlejohn went down
and reused the sleeping boy by laying
his hands upon him. Mr.. Littlejohn
does not claim to be hypnotist, but
says he can place his hands upon a
man and make him do as he wishes,
though as soon as he removes his
hands his power over the subject is:
gone.
John was surprised when he came to-
himself and found so many people
standing over him: but the situation
was explained and he was soon on his
feet again, apparently no worse for
his deep sleep.

PLANS T0 FIGHT STRIKERS.
National Metal Trade Association
Will Have Half Million For
Strike Committee.

New York, June I2.-The convention
of the National Metal Trades assocla-
ton continued its session today. The
closing hours Of the convention are
being devoted to the completion of Or
ganiZation and the final arrangement
of plans designed to strengthen the
hands of the manufacturers in their
fight against the striking machinists.
The sum of $500, 900 raised by assess
ment, is to be placed at the disposal
of a strike committee to be used IN
behalf of the employers.
Asked as to the use Of this fund, ".
J. Chambers, chairman of the press
committee said: Il suppose we will
use it as the strikers do, to support
their fellows, pay tickets and meet
other general expenses. We used Sl66,
600 in the Cleveland strike, where we
paid some men a bonus of 81 day.
There are millions more if they are
needed. We know nothing of concil-
iation committee from Toronto or else
where and no man not member will
get hearing before rs. We seek no
trouble, but propose to protect our in
terests and industry.
The convention decided to make no
definite declarations as to the length
of days work, leaving the question
to settlement locally. After discussing
the matter all the afternoon the fol-
lowing resolution was passed:
1.-The declaration of principles
makes the..question of hours and wages
a local issue.
Resolved, That this association
will support any regular member in
his endeavor to conform to said decla-
ration of principles. -
After passing the resolution the con-
vention adjourned and the affairs of
the association with regard to the ma
chinists' strike are in the hands of the
finance and strike committee, subject
to the general supervision Of the ad
ministrative council.

length of this stay probably will de
