SAILS FAST SHIPS ACROSS ATLANTIC
Miss Rickers Allowed to Hold Wheel
Sailing From London to
New York :.

NEW YORK, May 26.-Miss Renie
Rickmers has steered across the At
lantic the biggest and fastest sailing
ship afioat.
The big hip whose course Miss Rick
mers guided is the r. G. Rickmers,
which is named after her owner. She
is a five-masted bark and in a fair
breeze can sail at the wonderful speed
of seventeen knots an hour.
Miss Rickmers is a beautiful girl of
20 and is an enthusiast about ships
and the sea. Early in the voyage she
asked to be allowed to handle the
wheel and was permitted to do so.
She was enthralled by the delight of
guiding the vessel and seemed never to
tire of acting as pilot.

Cars Reply 10 Douma's
Address The Cause.
MAKES few CONCESSIONS
Denies General Amnesty and
Reappropriation of Land
Votes Want of Confidence

ST. PETERSBURG, May 26.-Pre-
mier Goromykin today gave the gov
ernment's reply to the douma. Few
minor concessions are made, but the
demands of the dOuma are
refused or ignored When the address
was read the deputies made fiery
speeches charging that the premier's
speech was open to challenge and hints
were made as to the probable course
of the douma. The unrest was increased
by a rumor that a decree will be is
sued tomorrow dissolving the douma.
Goromykin announced the granting Of
universal suffrage but the czar rejected
the demands for full amesty and the
re- e-appropriat ton of land. Nahokoff de-
clared that the douma had a right to
address the czar directly and insisted
that the situation was constitutional
absurdity. Administrative power must
submit to legislative authority.
The situation is regarded as criti-
cal. Goromykin has expressed fear
that a conflict is unavoidable.
This afternoon by an almost unani-
nous vote the douma voted lack of
confidence in the ministry.

TO ESCAPING PRISONERS
Enlisted Man in Army Commended for
Shooting Comrade Who Made
Breakaway.

WASHINGTON, D. c., May 90
The war department has received a
copy of the general order, among the
first issued by General w. p Duvall
newly appointed brigadier general, and
now in command of the department of
the Gulf 1t is unusual to the extent
that official commendation is given to
an enlisted man of the Seventh infantry
for firing as a sentinel on an escaping
prisoner at Fort Mcpherson, Georgia,
few weeks ago. The sentinel killed the
soldier, who was trying to escape from
prison, and received the department
commanders Acknowledgement of
prompt performance of duty. General
Duvall adds:
1.-The prisoner paid with his life for
his utter disregard for the sentinels
repeated calls to halt. Happily, the
necessity for such extreme measures is
rare, but it is a distinct satisfaction
to know that when such summary
action is clearly demanded there are
always trained men to execute it. 1t is
hoped that this case of thorough dis
charge of an extremely disagreeable
duty may remain clearly impressed on
the troops of this commando

assistant secretary of the navy, Mr..
Newberry, has addressed letter to the
commandant of the navy yard, to be
handed to Frank Davis, gunner's mate
on duty at the Brooklyn navy yard,
commencing him for gallantry which he
displayed on the afternoon of August
1, 1905. The heroim was shown by
Davis on the East river on the date
mentioned. At the risk of his own life,
Davis jumped overheard and succeeded
after severe struggle, in reScuing
Hugh McGovern. a roofer, who had
leaped from the wharf with suicidal in
tent. The case was brough ito the at
tention of the navy department at the
time by Lieutenant Commander Craven,
executive officer of the Granite state, of
the naval militia of New York. Mr..
Newberry said in concluding the letter
of commendation: 1.-The department
takes great pleasure in commencing
you for your gallant act, and regrets
that so long a time was allowed 10
elapse before the matter was brought to
its attention" This latter remark is
interpreted as a severe rebuke of the
red tape methods in the department,
which have repeatedly been criticised
by Mr.. Newberry and other officials.
