The armored cruiser West Virginia.. one
OF the newest ships in the navy. arrived
yesterday from Newport. r. l., and anchored
OF 1ompLinsville. She left Newport on
Wednesday and on the trip nearly every
thing on the ship from the guns to the
engines was tested by board Of inspection.
They had no Official comment to make
when they landed yesterday. but from
officers OF the cruiser It was learned that
none OF the tests could have been more
successful.
The West Virginia has been in the water
for eight months and her bottom Ii pretty
foul but in spite Of that fact she spurted
along under forced draft at q rate OF
2lL knots to show the board what she
could do.
This is only about half knot slower
than she made on her official speed trial
with smooth bottom and II is considered
an especially good performance in view
OF the fact that the engine room force was
very short handed.
Each gun was fired with full charge
and at several angles, but no imperfections
were brought to light by the test. Capt.
Conway H. Arnold said yesterday that he
was delighted with the manner In which
his ship behaved. The cruiser will 60 into

KING AND KAISER MAY MEET.
German Plan to Take Sting Out Of tho
Conference with the Car.


Special Gable Despatch to TIE SUN.
LONDON, Aug. IA newspaper in Vienna
a few days ago printed a rumor that
meeting was impending between King
Edward and Emperor William, and sug-
eested that the intention WAS to show that
the meeting between the Gar and Kaiser
had no special significance and that 1t was
not aimed against Great Britain.
The report seemed unworthy Of special
notice, but 1t has been received in various
quarters In Germany In . manner indicating
that such meeting would be widely well
coined, except by the fire eaters. as a relief
from the tepsion Of the last few weeks.
1t is known that Emperor William is going
to Wilhelmshohe on Aug. 10. This place
Is within easy distance Of Frankfort-on-the-
Main, the suggested rendezvous. King
Edward will arrive at Msrienbad for a
holiday on Aug. IA, and will pass through
Frankfort on his way thither.
This is actually the basis OF the report,
which cannot be confirmed in Berlin or
London, although the official repudiations
Of knowledge OF meeting arc given in
such way as to cause belief that the plan
n not improbable.

has Just come out that approximately
100000 in bonds Of the Grand Rapids
Mich.) Edison Company were misappro-
priated by F. G.. Bigelow, the bank buster
now in prison, and were by him disposed
Of to innocent purchasers. The ques-
ton as to Just where these bonds are now
held il one that Is worrying the company.
The Grand Rapids Edison Company
needed 100000 at one time and as Bigelow
was director Of the company he advanced
the loan through his bank. The Edison
Company gave its note for the loan. and
in addition gave as collateral 100000 In
bonds which were intended for the First
National bank here. The package came,
however addressed to F. q. Bigelow az
president.
It is now declared that Bigelow failed
TO turn these bonds into the bank by
which the money they were intended to
c,ver had been advanced. Instead, It
ia said, he sold the bonds on his individual
account. The Grand Rapids company
has been trying TO recover them.
The bonds are 6 per cent, have q market

workmen began yesterday to strip from
the walls Of the County Court House the
ivy which has grown thickly on all sides
OF the structure since 1t was erected.
The outside of the building Is to be sand
blasted, and to allow for this treatment the
ivy is to be torn away.
When the City Hall was subjected to the
sand blasting process last spring there
was indignation. The case Of the County
Court House is worse. The chief exterior
attraction of that building, architects say,
is the ivy, which has climbed around it
and hidden it's lines.
Mr.. Ahearn was not in town yesterday.
and the only satisfaction which could be
obtained from his subordinates was that
the ivy would grow again and that. anyway,
Ivy had deteriorating effect on stone.
