Trial Of the Cruiser Denver.

BOSTON. October 22.-The new United
States cruiser Denver. built by the Neaffie
& Levy Company of Philadelphia, left this
harbor today for official trial over the Cape
Ann-Boon Island course. The conditions
were no less favorable than were those
which attended the test made over the same
course by the battle ship Missouri yester-
day.
The Denver's contract calls for a speed
of 1865 knots The trial was in charge
of the same board officiating at the Mis-
sourfs trial yesterday.
ROCKPORT. Mass. October 22.-Many
sailing experts assembled at the head of the
cape here to watch the speed trial Of the
Denver today. The air was clear, the sea
smooth and the wind blew from the south
This meant that the cruiser would have
fair breeze during the first half of the
course to Boon Island and a head wind on
the return to Rockport.
The cruiser crossed the starting line at
10:47 .O6. and completed the first leg at
11:1O:46. as timed by observers on shore
This was estimated to indicate a speed of
Is. - knots an hour
On the next leg the cruiser surprised those
watching her by her speed. She passed the
mark boat at the end OF the second stage
at IL :33 :33. or at speed OF 17.3S knots 1t
was clear enough today for the mark at
the end of the third leg to be seen. but ac-
curate timing was difficult. Those on shore
thought the Denver passed the mark at
IL :5S. This would indicate a speed for the
leg of 1853 knots.

NEW YORK, October 22-Two hundred
of the followers of John Alexander DOwie

of reforming New York city and wanted to

work and give others a chance to. take it UP
to step forward at the early meeting in
Madison Square Garden today.

he had received many bogus checks since
coming to New York, but that others had

suits by merchants of Chicago. They are
against me personally and not against
Zion

RACE FEELING AT FORT RILEY.
Members of 10th Cavalry and Texas
Troops at Odds.

FORT RILEY, Kan. October 22.-An the
troops al Fort Riley were on the same side
of the military problem today. and the
enemy was wholly imaginary. 1t was as
sumed that a strong force was advancing
to attack Fort Riley. and the entire COM
mand was marched, out to take up a posi-
ton covering the post. 1t was the idea of
Colonel Wagner. the senior umpire. to give
instruction as to the proper method Of
deploying a division in line to repel an at
tack of the enemy. Brig. Gen. F. D. Grant
had command of the depIoyment. Lieuten-
ant General Young rode out with General
Bates to witness >the manuevers.
Some friction has developed between the
members of the Texas regiment and the
troopers of the 10th Cavalry, who are col
ored men. Some of the Texas men have
forbidden the troopers to pass through their
camp any pretext, and the colored SOL
diers. who comprise one of the best cav
airy regiments in the army, are displeased
at the order. Numerous fist fights have al
ready occurred. and last night a detach-
ment of the troopers descended upon the
camp of the Texas regiment and carried off
one man. who, however, was released in a
short time. Men of the Texas regiment
have found it necessary to travel in squads
whenever they visit the commissary store
near their camp.
This evening Colonel Wagner will deliver

SALARIES FOR CONSULS.
Assistant Secretary Peirce Thinks That
Thew Should Be Better Compensated.

Mr. Herbert II. d. PIERCE third assistant
secretary of state, returned to TINS city
last evening from an extended tour OF IN
spection of the United States consu1ates in
Europe. The main object of his tour was
to see what steps are necessary for the
proposed Improvement of the service.
He sad today that his investigation was
necessarily of a tentative character, II
being impossible to cover the entire field IN
the few months allotted. He visited thirty
of the principal consulates in France, Ger
many, Holland and Belgium. and gathered
a mass of valuable material.
Il cannot speak" said he. ''of the report
l shall make to the State Department. but
there are one or two things That are ap-
parent. In my op Mon it is essential that
our consuls should be paid by salary alone
and that all notarial fees should go to the
government. Compensation to consuls in
most cases should be larger. All the vice
and deputy consuls should be American
citizens, as such important positions should
not be intrusted to foreigners.
MANY Americans who travel are apt to
forget that the first business of consul is
to act as business agent for Their govern
ment and to think he has nothing much to
do but make himself agreeable and useful
TO his fellow citizens.
''On the contrary every one of them is
busy man. The proper certlf1catlon of in
voices is necessary. especially when we
consider the Importance of our protective
tariff. No fore gner could be expected to
take the proper amount of interest in see
ing that articles are invoiced at their
proper value.
"One result of the tariff is that the
amount of the governments business
consul attends to is often large. From an
average place like Antwerp as much as
SlO.WD.1n worth of goods is exported to
America in one year. Even in small place
like CALAIS the value of exports to the
United States runs up to several millions
The consul at Calais gets about $500
year. but for the same time he turns in
for certificates of invoice and other official
ices nearly $1,000 a year to the United
States government. which sum represents
invoices of several millions dollars worth
of goods. There are half dozen American
business houses keeping agents in Calais
who each receive a larger salary than the
government representative there to protect
their interests
