Offictal Report of the Recent Trial Trip— Horse Power Below the Requirement. A report received today in the bureau of steam engineering, Navy department, from one of the inspectors on the new cruiser Charles- ton, built by the Union iron works for the gov- ernment, states that the horse power developed by the ship in her recent official run will prob- ably not be reported above 6,700 by the trial board in their official report, The vessel worked beautifully, every part of her ma- chinery moving in perfect shape without the least heating. She was run six hours instead of four, which the contract stipulates, and she worked better during the extra two hours at | the end of her run than she did at first, thus proving her excellent staying qualities, Her speed during the six hours averaged about | 1834 knots. If this be confirmed by the offi- cial report, as is very likely, the ship will have failed to make her contract requirement of 7,000 horse power by 300, which will subject her to A PENALTY OF THIRTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. There seems to be no doubt that the vessel was worked for all she was worth and that 6,700 horse power is all she can possibly de- yelop under the most favorable conditions. The boiler a in this ship has been in excess of that of the Yorktown in proportion. The contractors did everything in their power to meet the requirements of the contract, im- Porting hand-picked Welch coal for use on the ‘he vessel, it will be remembered, was built on the plans of the Naniwakan, Enghsh de- signed, which had about twenty-fonr trials be- of the Rose,” Ruchardt; Obligato by Mr. Harry | fore she was accepted. It is probable that the contractors will go to Congress for relief from the penalties on the ground that the plans for the vessel were defective. THE DEFLECTIVE ARMOR TEST. Why Inventor Clark Thinks it Will be a Failure. The Clark deflective armor is to be tested to- day at Annapolis before a portion of the naval advisory board, as announced in Tue StaR of Monday. Nobody, not even the inventor of the armor, Chief Engineer Olark, has any idea that the test will be successful. It is a singular thing, a naval officer remarked to a reporter not long ago, that ordnance tests always result one way, and that is not in favor of anything that is originated, designed or invented out of the bureau having these things in charge. Mr. Clark, in an interview yesterday, expressed himself as satisfied that the target to be fired at down at Annapolis today will be broken be- fore anything is demonstrated. He cor- rected several errors which were com- mitted unwittingly in Tue Srar’s pub- lication of Monday “The naval ad- visory board.” he said, ‘in a letter to the Secretary of the Navy in’ February, 1833, asked for 220,000 for the investigation and test of the deflective turrets designed by me. Congress granted this March 3, 1883, making the money immediately available, the investigation and test to be made by the advisory board. The matter. therefore, did not drift into the hands of that board, as you expressed it. The tur- ret which the target is intended to represent has double curvature, but the target has not and is therefore much weaker than the turret; but the wenker target was accepted with the understanding that it was to be tested immediately with the largest gun then in the possession of the department, which was of 6-inch caliber. After accepting the wouk target they decided that they must wait for an S-inch gun, which required two years, and then when they got an 8-inch gun they decided to make the test with a 10-inch gun, for which waited three years more, and now the test is to be made with a 10-incb gun, und not by an $-inch, as you were informed at the department. The pro- jectiles to be fired against the target are to be of 500 pounds’ weight, when the target was de- signed for a weight of projectile of not over 200 pounds, so that I share the opinion of the ofticers who think that the first shot will de- cide the matter.” ABOUT COMMISSIONER TANNER. A General Belief that He Will Have to Retire—The Reason Why. There is a very general belief now that Pen- sion Commissioner Tanner will have to retire from the pension office. His most unpardon- able sin, it is said, is talkativeness, and for this it is believed he will have to go. The Presi- dent's sympathy with the soldiers inclines him to approve liberality toward them, and it is believed that even if a point were strained in that direction he would be slow to condemn. It is not thought that any charge of dishonesty or perversity of motive could hold for a moment against the commissioner, and there is no idea that he will be removed under any such implication; nor is it at all likely that a charge of toogreat liberality on the part of Mr. Tanner would influence the President against him—unlesa it should be something really gross, The thing, it is said, the administration bas to complain of is that he talks too much and without sufficient discretion, and is controlled by sentiment and impulse, rather than by calm “ime ber of Congress, speaking with a Sr. A member of Con; hy ing wil ‘AB reporter today, said that he did not think they — afford to remove Tanner before the eleo- ion. ‘The idea is, however, that the removal, if made, would be for reasons that would not offend the Grand Army. The report that General H.V. Boynton,corre- spondent of the Commercial Gazetie, may suc- ceed Mr. Tanner is without foundation, as Gen- eral Boynton says he would accept no position under this or any other administration. The New Gunboat Petrel. The Secretary of the Navy has notified th president of the Columbia iron works of Balti- more to have the gunboat Fetrel, recently tried by an official board, painted and cleaned, ready for the final inspection. This means that the vessel is satisfactory and will undoubtedly be accepted by the government. Pending final action, however, the Secretary is considering a claim by the company to the effect that they were ready for the trial thirty-three minutes before the board began to take the records of the engines, which were during that period at their best. When the test actually began the engines had a to fall off and before the end of the run had gone down quite low. They argued that they were entitled te credit for the performance of the ship for thirty-three min- utes before the records were taken and that an equal amount of time be taken from the end of the four hours, In this case their indicated horse power would be very neur 1,100, which 18 the requirement, This claim is likely to be al- lowed, in which case the penalties from this cause will not amount to much. She has, how- ever, earned a large sum for the governmentin time penalties, Satisfied With the Administration. Representative Sherman of New York is in the city.

An Interesting Talk on the Subject with Mr. Gladstone. Special Cable Dispatch to Tax EvExine Stan. Loxpon, Sept. 4—I had a most interest- ing and important conversation with Mr. Gladstone immediately before his departure for Paris on the proposed Catholic university. Gladstone was in high spirits and very out- spoken. He feared nothing and ridiculed the idea of Balfour's tentative suggestion that the endowment of a Catholic university would en- danger the liberal’s alliance with the home rulers, He had read and sympathized with Davitt’s protest against the echeme, believing it would die before it was born. He recalled Carnarvon’s suggestion to Parnell and the lord mayor's announcement in 1868 that Disraeli’s government would grant a charter and endow- ment to a Catholic university, He recalled the speech he made in reply to the lord mayor, quoting with characteristic particularity the very pages in Hansard where the passages could be found in which he declared that all such schemes WERE DEAD BEFORE THEY WERE BORN. The demand of the Irish bishops for absolute control of the university endowed by the im- perial funds could not, he thought, be tolerated for a moment by the English non-conformists, who constituted the great bulk of the liberal party. The non-conformists would never agree to that. They would, however, raise no objec- tions to a home rule scheme which allowed the Trish to endow their own university with their own responsi Gladstone evidently thinks home rule capital can te made out of the Bal- four suggestion. He is confident that non- conforinists and Protestant prejudice will ren- der Cutholic endowment impossible, The ministerial recognition of the need for a Cath- olic university will lend another argument to the case for home rule, which is an indispens- able sine qua non, Gladstone considers him- self bound band and foot by his declarations agaiust the lord mayor, and ed that Balfour should be invited to show his hand and come out into the open. The Irish members, he said, had been rather precipitate, but would ultimately prove themselves very reasonable. pti air mlonc THE CRONIN MURDER TRIAL. The Defense Using Up Theit Peremptory Challenges. Curcaco, Sept. 4.—Though no jurors were finally accepted in the Cronin case yesterday considerable progress was made. The defense expended nine peremptory challenges in addi- tion to the four used Saturday, thus exhausting thirteen of Dan Coughlin’s quota and reducing the number which the defense can exercise from one hundred to eighty-seven. As it is evident that not torty can be obtained until all their peremptory challenges are exhausted by the defense it is clear that the use of nine yee- terday murks much progress, MASSACHUSETTS PROHIBITION, Its Apostles Hold a State Convention Today. Worcester, Mass., Sept. 4.—The state pro- hibition convention was called to order at 10:30 this morning at Mechanics hall. A perfect permanent organization was perfected with Mr. George Kempton of Sharon, as chairman. Mr. Kempton on ae the chair was cheered very enthusiastically ani made an ad Iress, adding a postwcript directed to the temperance republicans as “Our friendly opponents.” The usual committees were sappointed and they retired for conference. It is understood that the committee on resolutions is engaged ina wrangle over the woman's suffrage plank. abe tesa PENNSYLVANIA DEMOCRATS, They Meet in State Convention at Har- risburg Today. Harnispura, Pa., Sept. 4—Clouds and sun- shine alternated this morning as the delegates to the democratic state convention began to bestir themselves and there was an absence of brass-band enthusiasm and decorations when they arrived at the opera house, There was a long delay in the assembling of the convention and it was about 11 o'clock when Chairman Kisner rapped the delegates to order and re- quested Secretary Nead to read the call. = Even at that hour there were core paaetvely few people in the hall and the preliminaries were listlessly gone through with On the stage were representatives of all the lead- ing newspapers in the state and a few of the more prominent democrats, who came to par- ticipate or look on. There was a conspicuous absence of the old-time leaders and the convention seemed bese when it was whispered about that Wm. A. Wallace of Clear- field would arrive before noon. As was the ease at the republican convention there are many young men among the delegates, and NUMEROUS NEW FACES. There were few substitutions as the of the roll proceeded and when Secretary Nead’s voice died a’ on the last name it was found that there was full representation for all the districts. Hon.
