ToRPEDO-BOAT DESTROYER
is SUCCESSFULLY SPEEDED

BOSTON. Jan. 4.-The torpedo-boat de-
stroyer MacDonough, built by the Fore
River Ship and Engine Company of
Quincy Mass. was successfully speeded
over a measured mile off Wood End
Provincetown, to-day. She exceeded her
contract requirements of 2S knots, making
one leg at rate of 1886. The best two
runs over the mile averaged 2s02, which
was the speed which gained her accept
ance by the Government board.
This trial was so encouraging that at it's
conclusion 1t was decided to try another
Government test, that of an endurance
run of one hour, at a continued speed of
26 knots. This was attempted on the trip
back to Boston, across Cape Cod Bay. but
after three-quarters of the time had been
consumed valve blew out and the trial
was postponed until Tuesday.

self-supporting.
The agricultural department to-day is grevi-
ously hampered by lack of proper accommo-
datons and by lack OF adequate funds. Much
of the work OF the department is so specifically
bound up with the material interests of the
State that specific and largely increased pro-
vision should surely be made by the State for
its development and support.

MUCH SPENT FOR LAND.

During the last two years the greater por-
tion of the entire fund for permanent improve
ments has been spent in the purchase of land.
The open tract to the south of the main cam
pus called the 'Hilegass Tract" including
fifteen sixteen acres, was evidently
needed by the university
The tract was the property of five different
owners; the price for the five separate prop
tries, including the house and outbuiIdings of
the Meyer property aggregated in total S1Ss-
100 81. The rapid rise I'm the market value
of Berkeley real estate since the date of the
purchase has greatly increased the value of

STATEHOOD BILL DEBATE.
Indications Point to Its Early Conclu
sion in the Senate.

Washington. Feb. all indications
point tc the conclusion of the debate
on the statehood bill during the pres
ent week, but no one can tell at this
time just when the change will come
or how it will come. If the plans of
the Republican leaders who oppose
the statehood bill are put into effect
the committee on territories will bring
in a substitute bill early in the week.
providing for consolidation and the ad-
mission Of two states. This will prob
ably not be done, however, unless as
surance can be secured thai the full
Republican vote can be obtained for
the consolidation. If this plan does
not take shape Senator Quay is likely
to present his statehood amendment
on the agricultural appropriation bill,
and a test of strength would ensue.
The vote on this amendment will be
very close, if taken, and while the
omnibus bill advocates feel that they
have a majority, they realize that it
will not be so large as it would be on
a direct vote on the statehood bill by
itself. There is now some talk OF ad-
hitting only Oklahoma, but if this
should be undertaken 1t would be only
as a last resort and will be postponed
until towards the end Of the session.
All senators are becoming very rest
less under the present conditions and
it is evident that they cannot long con
time.
