Cruiser Colorado All Rlaht.

Delaware Breakwater. Del. July a.
On the unofficial or builders trial trip
yesterday. the United States armored
cruiser Colorado achieved n maximum
speed over a measured course OF 22.31
knots an hour. an average OF two runs
under forced draught being at the rate
Of 22.10 knots an hour. This result
is highly gratifying to the builders, MS
the requirements of the contract were
exceeded in every respect. Experts on
board predicted after the run that the
Colorado will average 22h knots on
the Official trial trip and thus exceed
the contract speed requirement by ut
least one-half knot.
Vice President Edwin s. Cramp OF
the Cramp Shipbuilding Company,
said:
"The model of the ship is so excel
lent that at the top speed there was
remarkable absence of waves both at
the bow and at the stern.
Another noticeable feature Of the
trial was the entire absence of vibra-
ton at all speeds.
"The results, altogether, show the
Colorado to be without peer in the
American navy or any other navy"

"Orders were given to commence
pumping and also to the passengers to
put on life belts and be ready to get
into the boats, which were ordered to
be put out.
IT went down with the steamer. My
right leg got jammed between two
stanchions and was very much in

noticed a number Of bodies floating.
THE Norge was afloat only about
twenty minutes after striking.
"I swan for about twenty minutes,
and came across Second Engineer
Braun, who is a good swimmer. We
kept company for about an hour and
a half, when we noticed boat some
distance off, and we both made for it.
IT was hindered by my sore leg and
the engineer reached the boat first.
Both of us were taken on board, ex-
hausted. We found that 1t was life

der the charge of Seaman Peter Ole

After recovering a little, took
charge of the boat and provisions.

and two TASKS of water. The boat was
steered for St. Kilda, $50 miles dis

AT about 10 o'clock Sunday land

St. Kilda.
Some time afterward n steamer
was noticed coming from the west
bearing down on our boat. She proved
to be the Energie, and at o'clock we
were safe on board.'

Western Federation of Miners, whom
they are Holding in confinement at
Telluride. :. The court ordered Sheriff
,Gorbett to arrest the two officers.
Judge Stevens severely criticised the
sourse OF Governor James II. Peabody
and5the military authorities, saying
they appeared to be In insurrectlon
against the court. Gen. Bell, through
Assistant District Attorney David
Howe, of Telluride, excused his failure
TO produce Meyer on the ground that
he deemed 1t unsafe to bring Meyer to
Ouray or to reduce the military force
In San Miguel county by so doing, and
that the Governor had ordered him to
disregard the writ. Judge Stevens said:
"A very grave question is presented as
to whether It is the striking miners or
the Governor OF Colorado and the Ma
!;onal Guard that are engaged in in
surrection and rebellion against the
laws OF the State. II there Is to be a
reign OF military despotlsm in this
State and civil authority is to have no
