With brooms at her mast-heads and
yard-arms announcing that all records
had been swept aside, the new armored
cruiser North Carolina returned to the
shipyard to-day. During her third
speed test, run off the Virginia Capes
between 1880 and 1880 o'clock last
night. the ship maintained an average
speed Of 22.48 knots or forty eight hum
dredths of a knot In excess of the con-
tract speed required. This was the
best speed ever made by a vessel of
the armored cruiser class. From Cen
eral Manager w. A. Post to the small
est messenger boy everybody aboard
the ship was wild with enthusiasm

noon at o'clock. A forty-knot gale
was blowing and the sea was running
high but when off the capcs the yes

hour, and each hour thereafter the
ship ran faster. The engines turned up
1873 revolution per minutes, or nearly
four more revolutions than were neces-
sary to drive her at the required speed.

L.
ASHEvILLE. n. c.. February 16.-
There is war among the Republicans of
this, the Tenth Congressional District.
and the nomination of the Hon. j. j.
Britt, as the Republican candidate for
Congress from this district in what is
termed by the "insurgents'' as star
chamber proceedings, has caused
much outspoken criticism and bitter
ness.
Announcement was made yesterday
in communication signed by a Repub-
lican committee, of which T. F. Roland
was chairman, and which included
Thomas S. Rollins, Y: S. Lusk, Joseph
prominent Republicans, that at a "iarge
and enthusiastic mass-meeting OF Re-
bublicans OF Asheville and Buncombe
county" held on October 18th, the
the Republican candidate for Congress
from this district. and Mr.. Britt had
consented to accept the nomination.
In response to this announcement
they have had no notice or knowledge
OF a large and enthusiastic mass
meeting of Republicans" and, further
Britt has allowed himself to be drag
ged into the race by q clique. after
his announcement that he would not
accept the nomination y rendered, and
added the information that "our party
in this section has suffered greatly In
the past by these star chamber pro-
Iceedings."
The "insurgents,' now declare that
they will smash the ring" and nomi-
nate j. G. Grant or some other indie
pendent Republican TO make the race
claim that The majority of the Re-
publicans of the district are with them
and also that they have the support OF
the Hon. c. j. Harris. An exciting con.
test, and perhaps interesting develop
nents. are expected.
