orr. TESTS ON WYOMING.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-The Uni
ted States monitor Wyoming will soon
leave Mare island navy yard, San Fran
cisco, for coast trial trip, in which
she win experiment with oil as a fuel
for steam purposes.
The Wyoming, 4200-ton ship. is
the largest craft of the American navy
yet to experiment with oil. The fur
naees of the monitor have been equip
ped with oil burners similar to those
now in use by harbor boats and other
craft engaged in Pacific coast trade.
The experiment is not new one with
the navy. In fact, the value of oil has
been clearly demonstrated in the past
to such an extent that the new tor
pedo boat destroyers to be built under
the last naval appropriation act are to
be oil burning boats exclusively. In
addition to this all of the bigger ships
of the American navy are equipped for
oil burners as well as COAL The prae-
teal good to be demonstrated by the
Wyoming may result. from a reduction
in the cost of fuel for ships from the
Pacific station.
The steaming capacity of oil is about
forty per cent. greater than coal and
the cost of oil, pound for pound, com
pared with coal, is about the same rate
cheaper. The coal used for the Pacific
coast is largely British Columbia coal,
with some Welsh coal. The price charg-
ed is exceedingly high. Navy depart
ment officials hardly lsok to the time
whom oil will he uSed bv all big ships,
but they do believe that the fuel has
tremendous possibilities for coast de-
tense work.
The first experiments with oil in the
American navy were in 1865, and about
eight years ago boiler test in the
Washington navy yard was the subject
of comprehensive report to the de-
partment. The British navy has ex>
perimented considerably with oil, but
the dual plan of burning oil and coal
in conjunction on British men-of-war
was found impracticable and ahan-
doned.

WILL MAKE TEST Of
CAMPAIGN FUND ACT

A test case viii probably be fled in
the United States court today or to
morrow to ascertain whether corpor-
alton in the Territory of Hawaii comes
under the provision of the Act of Con
gress prohibiting corporations from
contributing to campaign funds.
There is considerable doubt in the
minds of many leading attorneys here
as to whether the act applies to Ha-
wall. When U. $. District Attorney
Breckons received a letter from Wash
ington recently in answer to his in
quiry concerning the act, he was in
structed that if any such contributions
were made he should bring the matter
into court, and papers are being pre-
pared to meet the issue.
The ACCESSIBILITY of testing the act
was discussed by the members of the
Republican County committee Tuesday
evening, but there was some hesitancy
about taking up the matter. Nobody
wanted to be the martyr.
