Vessel Reaches a Maximum
Speed of 22.31 Knots an
Hour Over Measured Course

DELAWARE BREARwATER, Del,
July 2.-On the unofficial builders trip
to-day the United States armored
cruiser Colorado achieved q maximum
speed over a measured course of 22.31
knots an hour, the average Of two
runs under forced draught being at the
rate OF z210 knots an hour. This re-
suit is highly gratifying to the build
era. as the requirements OF the con-
tract were exceeded IN every respect
Experts on board predicted after the
run that the Colorado would average
not less than 221z knots on the official
trial trip and thus exceed the contract
speed requirement by al least one-half
knot.
In speaking Of the result Of the test
Vice President Edwin A Cramp Of the
Cramp shipbuilding Company said:
The performance Of the machinery
was perfect in every respect The
Nicolaus boiler, about which there has
been so much controversy. performed
its functions admirably. The model OF
the ship is so excellent that at the top
speed there was a remarkable absence
Of waves both at the bow and at the
stern. Another noticeable feature of
the trial was the entire absence OF Vi
bration at all speeds. The results al
together show the Colorado to be with
out a peer IN the American or any
other navy"
The weather conditions were ideal
and everything favored good results
generally.

OYSTER BAY WELCOMES

Politics Is Forgotten in the Home
coming of the Country's
Chief


OYSTER BAY, July president
Roosevelt's homecoming was made the
occasion Of a cordial demonstration, in
which the citizens OF oyster Bay. Mr..
Roosevelt's friends and neighbors for
years, united TO do honor to the chief
executive. Irrespective Of political ANIL
iations the residents Of this pretty
village turned out TO welcome the Pres
ident 10 his home. It was a genuine
fete day in Oyster Bay. Business was
practically supended and residences
and business houses were decorated
with flags and bunting.
The station at oyster Bay, which had
been beautifully decorated, was
throhged with people. AS the train
stopped the crowd cheered enthu-
siasticalIy, and when the President ap-
peared on the platform of his car the
gathering received him uncovered, hun
dreds waving flags. Through space
which had been roped off the President,
bowing right and left to scores in the
crowd whom he recognized, was escort
ed to his carriage. There was no hand
shaking.
= At the carriage the President met
Mrs. Roosevelt and his children, who
had driven from Sycamore Hill TO join
his welcome home. The Oyster Bay
Roosevelt Club marched to the station
headed by a band and participated in
the greeting. but as the demonstration
was purely non-partisan the club took
no further action. The band played
Hail 10 the Chief as the President
entered his carriage, and party of
men in field near the station fired
giant crackers and small brass cannon
in noisy welcome.
With Mrs. Roosevelt and his children
the President drove Immediately to
his Sycamore Hill home. The entire
route, three miles. was hung with
Americas flags.

ST. LOUIS, July 2.-Lithographs of
two Presidential candidates appeared
to-day in the corridors of the hotels
and in the shop windows. The picture
of Judge Parker, in his judicial robes
and with a massive law book on his
arm, gave the impression Of the con-
servative candidate. Beneath the por-
trait of a young looking man is in
scribed in fac smile the name will
liam Randolph Hearst" The pictures
of Hearst are more numerous than the
others and were displayed wherever
they could possibly attract the eye.
Occasionally some struggling dele

and asks for the Parker headquar-
ters. 1t seems that notices were sent
to great many delegates some days

and make themselves at home" But
some of the Parker men, when they
reached here, discouraged the head
quarters idea.
We are supposed said one of

and it should not be coupled with any
thing so commonly political as head

POLICY OF ROOSEVELT
Predicts Great Future for United
States If Presidents Doctrine Is
Carried Out.

ST. PETERSBURG, July 2.-The No
vosti in an article on the political situ-
alton in the United States says:
There is no doubt that President
Roosevelt has gained the confidence
and sympathy of the whole Republican
party by his strength of character and
his fear.essness in conflict with all kinds
Of abuses in the shady side of Ameri-
can life. Thanks to his personal eff
forts. Congress will vote to increase the
American navy so that in short time
the United States will occupy the sec
ond place among the powers. AS a
leader of imperialism Roosevelt some
times goes to extremes"
The Noyosti then cites President
Roosevelt,s letter regarding Cuba, and
concludes thus:
This letter completely alters the po-
litical programme, creating the 'Roose-
welt doctrine 1t has been violently
criticized, but it's fundamental idea is
correct. II the United States should go
from words to acts South America
