is very satisfactory for a heavy battle

Admiral Taylor chief OF the bureau
of navigation, speaking about the voy-
age tonight said:
There was no test of maximum
speed possible, but only a test of the
usual running Inder all boilers. 1t is
customary in ordinary cruising to use
only about tWO-thiTds or three fourths
of the full boiler-pOwer of the ship. All

GALLANT RUN OF
THE KEARSARGE
Famous Warship Reached Bar
Harbor Yesterday.
CAME IN READY FOR ACTION
OFFICERS AND MEN ARE VERY
ENTHUSIASTIC.

Bar Harbor, Ne, July 26.-The Unit
ed States battleship Kearsarge arrived
at Bar Harbor at 5:42 p. m, and
dropped anchor in the upper harbor at
6;lS. All day the shore path had been
thronged with people anxiously watch
ing the eastern horizon for the frs
glimpse of the famous ship but il was
not until ) o'clock that her Immense
nun appeared out of the mist in tho
east. Coming full speed. the battleship
entered the harbor. and passed the 9th
&c ships Of the squadron at anchor, and
then proceeded to the upper harbor.
where the battleship Illinois. with Ad
miral Barker on board, was anchored.
After the usual formality the repre-
sentative Of the Associated Press was
received on board, and was the first to
greet Captain Hemphill. who expressed
surprise that their trip should be of in
terest TO others outside of the navy de-
partment. He said:
Record of the Trip.
I'VE left the Needles at 1:25 .. IN. on
Friday, July 18th, and Mount Desert
rock at 1880 today, covering the dis
lance of $500 miles in nine days. four
and quarter hours. an average speed
Of 1916 miles an hour"
The highest speed attained was lit
tie over fifteen knots an hour and the
lowest was ten. Three times during
the trip the ship was slowed down. once
on account OF being i'm the vicinity of
an iceberg and twice on account of a
very thick fog. Head winds and thick
weather retarded the speed of the ship
and under favorable circumstances
she would have covered the distance in
less than nine days. Captain Hemp
hill says that ne could start on a re-
turn trip at once and beat the record

days and in port twenty-nine days. and
Curing all this time there has not been
a single accident to the machinery. or
stop Of any kind. She is ready foc
action.
When she left Portsmouth she car
ried 1,640 tons of coal. She now has
on board 40 tons. cOnsumiag 1.23O tons
on the voyage, an average of 1876 tons
daily. As her coal carrying capacity
is but 1881 tons, some coal was taken
on deck
Officers Enthusiastic
The trip of the Kearsarge has DEM
oLstrated that a ship of her class can
maintain an average speed of over
thirteen knots on a long voyage with
out INJURY TO her machinery: that her
coal cA'rying capacity is adequate for
a trip of 1000 miles under full speed;
that in time of war ships of her class
can scrOss the ocean and engage an
enemy at once; that the Kearsarge is
one of the most perfect ships in the
world and fully equal to any emer-
gency.
Ca9tain Hemphiu and his officers
are very enthusiastic over the way in
which they have been entertained
while in foreign waters. Everywhere
the stars and stripes was cheered as
TIE Kearsarge moved in and out of
port. A big crowd watched her de-
parture from Portsmouth as she start
ed on the voyage that has ended so
successfully.

Service Was Packed.

Mr.. Smith reseuts the statement that
the rural free delivery service was packed
with employees I'm the interests OF the in
dividuals. just before classification, as In
dictated by the fact that ffty-siX were
appointed in the twenty-siX days just
preceding classification on November p.
1901. while only seventeen were ap-
pointed between that date and May, 1903
He attributes the large number of ap-
pointments Just before classification to
the great increase of work as indicated
by the fact that the appropriation for the
rural free delivery service for the year
ended June 60 1902 was double the
amount for the preceding year.
