Oil Is Said to Have Expedited the Ves- sel More Than Wine. SOME OURIOUS FACTS ABOUT THE RECENT TRIAL TRIP—CLAIMS OF THE CONTRACTORS — THE RECORD OF SPEED—DIFFERENCES OF OPINION AS TO THE INDICATED HORSE POWER. Naval officers are just now engaged in guess- ing as to the results of the recent trial of the new cruiser Bajtimore. It is understood that the Cramps are claiming that she developed an indicated horse power of 9,500, or 500 over her contract requirement. This would give them ® premium over and above the contract price of $50,000, from which must come the penal- ties incurred for overtime and the ex- penses of the trial, The penalties will not amount to much more than $10,000 and the expenses of the trial will be some where in the same neighborhood. It will be remembered that this is the second official trial and that there was some dispute atthe Navy department between the officials and the contractors as to who should pay for the first test. The bills for this amounted, it is said, to about $15,000, be- ing somewhat swelled by an indefiuite item called 4 “STEWARD'S ACCOUNT.” This, rumor says, consisted very largely of the cost of certain pleasant liquids, which, on that occasion, flowed quite freely. The condi- tiors of ships’ contracts usually include a stip- ulation that the government shall pay for the successful trial, The contractors urged that they would not let the vessel go for acceptance = the pate of the Sens test rear pee ry to pay for that trial. ey urge: that hey were entitled to a new trial and finally | Pade the Secretary to approve the first bil MORE OIL AND LESS WINE. They utilized, it is said, every possible cent in the line of improving the service on the trial, and there were about two hundred men on board—stokers, oilers and helpers of all kinds. There were twelve oilers in one engine room alone. It is said that the steward’s bill was much smaller and that the trial, as far as the officers went, was comparatively a very dry one, The result of spending money in the engine room instead of in the ward room be- comes apparent in the increase of the ship's horse power. The ship undoubtedly made a fine run, but there are some things about the trial that are not generally understood, In the first place SHE FAILED BADLY during the last hour of the run owing to the heating of the main crank pin, It grew so hot that the engine room water supply was found insufficient to cool it and an alarm had to be turnedim, The big deck hose, 25¢ inches in diameter, was brought down, and after playing on the hot metal some minutes the joint finally contracted enough to permit the engines to run at full speed again. THE AVEBAGE SPEED OF THE SHIP during the run is given by the trial board at 2034 knots, as calculated from the indications given by the patent log used. It is said that the patent log is unreliable and that guess work corrections have to be made on every run for inaccuracies. When Capt. Howison, the president of the board, was telling the Secretary about the run of the Baltimore he mentioned the fact that 3 per cent had been added to the log’s record for correction. She logged something under 20 knots, and the correction made it run up to 20% The Secretary asked: “Why did you not per cent?” THE QUESTION OF HORSE POWER. Although the contractors claim that the ves- 8el made 9,500 horse power, officials at the de- partment think that the figure will not exceed 9,200. in which case the premiums and the pen- alties and trial expenses will just about balance each other, leaving the contractors’ profit de- pendent upon their contract margin. It will e some time before the computations are com- pleted and the actual figures known. THE MARITIME CONFERENCE. A Short Session Today—Rules for Fish- ing Boats. When the international marine conference met today the amendment proposed yesterday by Dr. Sieve-King of Germany was considered, This provides that vessels engaged in trawling when under way, and all other vessels, shail keep out of the way of vessels and boats en- gayed in fishing with drift nets or in line fish- ing and of the nets of such vessels and boats, and that all vessels under way, other than ves- sels and boats engaged in fishing with drift nets or in line fishing, shall keep out of the way of sailing vessels engaged im traveling. y After discussion the amendment was laid aside for the present. Capt. Richard of France then moved that in view of the fact that the articles contained in the report of the committee on lightS for small craft had been disposed of yesterday hurriedly and without due consideration that the confer- ence order that these articles be reconsidered at some fugire meeting. The motion was unani- mously adopted and the conference then ad- journed till Monday, NOTES, The rules of the road have now been nearly completed, and the next topic to be taken up by the conference will be the uniform maxi- mum loud line, At the session yesterday afternoon, on motion of Dr. Sieveking of Germany, a vove of thanks was tendered Mr, Thos. Gray of Great Britain for his valuable work in the conference. He is in very poor health and was compelled to leave for home yesterday. —_ for Building New Steel Gunboats. Advertisements have been issued from the Navy department for proposals for building the new steel gunboats Nos. 5 and 6,of about 1,000 tons each, and for a steel practice vessel of about 800 tons, for the Annap- olis naval academy, to be opened January 22, 1890. The contracts will stipulate that | the gunboats shall maintain a speed of thir- teen knots an hour for four con»ecutive hours, and the practice vesse) show a speed of twelve knots an hour during « four-hour trial, For every quarter knot developed in excess of the required speed the contractor shall receive a premium of $5.000, and for every quarter knot the vessel fails to reach the required speed, the contractor shall forfeit $5,000; provided, that incase the gunboats fail to show a speed of twelve knots an hour and the practice vessel eleven knots, they shall be rejected, ‘he cost of the gunboats, exclusive of speed premium, is limited to $350,000 each, and of the practice ship to 260,000. These Railroads Will Have to Report. Some time ago Commissioner of Railroads Taylor rendered a decision requiring the Chicago and Northwestern, the Omaha, the Manitoba and the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul railroad companies, which have land grants given them by Nebraska and other states, to make reports to the Interior depart- ment concerning their condition, the same ay railroads which received land subsidies from the federal government. All officers of these | roads have contended that they were not | required to report to the commiissioner of rail- roads, as are companies which have received grants of land from the federal government, on the ground that the interests of the federal gov- ernment were in no way involved as in other jand grants, Commissioner Taylor, in his decision, held that lands granted these raiiroads were the same as lands granted to other railroads directly by the government, since the states granting the lands secured them from the Mrs. Rowland Exonerated. The charge of embezzlement against Mra. Anne M. Rowland, formerly matron of Dr. Hammond's sanitarium, was ignored by the grand jury today, thus ending the case. She was charged with having on July 30 embezzled $60 of the monies of Dr. Hammand, and was subsequently arrested in St. Paul by Detective Mahon, and on a very full the Po- lice Court the case was sent up to the grand jury.

The Rivers Suddenly Overleap Their Banks. RAILROAD BRIDGES SWEPT AWAY. Knights of Labor Pressing the Eight- Hour Movement. WASHINGTON PLAYERS WITH BUFFALO THE FLOOD ABATES. Railroads Will Be Running All Right by Tomorrow. Examna, N.Y., Nov. 20.—The flood reached its height here at 9:30 this morning without doing any more serious damage in the city than fill- ing cellars, caving in sewers, &c. The loss, however, is serious, as thd@persons affected are those who lost by the June flood. The Northern Ceutral road resumed business northward this morning and is now open to Canandaigua. South of this city the road is open only to Ralston, half way to Williamsport. Several bridges are gone below Ralston, and the road will not probably be opened for several days. The Erie ran no trains last night and only operated the Buffalo division west of Hornells- yille, It is said at the railroad offices here tha’ trains will be running regularly this afternoon and everything will be in good shape by to- morrow. The Lehigh Valley trains could not reach Elmira last night, as they come from Waverly over the Erie’s tracks. That road now is all right as far west as Waverly, The Delaware, Lackawanna and Western is all right today and was only delayed a short time last night by high water near Corning. EIGHTEEN FEET TOO HIGH. Wriviamsport, Pa., Nov. 20.—The river here is a little over eighteen feet and about ata standstill, Travelon the Philadelphia and Erie and the Reading roads has been resumed. The trains run on the Linden line, on the south side of the river, and passengers are transferred by an engine and car over the railroad bridge at the lower end of the city, the Linden bridge not being safe for the trains. The trains are getting through but are more or less delayed. The Philadelphia and Erie and the Reading trains use the road of the former as far as Montgomery and of the latter to Sun- bury, where they cross the river, each taking its own line there. Three spans of the Mar- ket street bridge here went out during the night. One of the bridge crew went down with the first span, but was rescued. The smail streams have fallen and all danger is be- lieved to be over. A large number of county bridges have been swept away. THE SUSQUEHANNA RISING. Lancaster, Pa., Nov. 20,—The Susquehanna river at Columbia is rising rapidly and very high water is anticipated tonight. The lumber men are apprehensive of great damage. DROWNED. William Dill was drowned at Marietta while estroge drift wood this morning. His boat capsize THEY WERE TEMPORARY BRIDGES, Reapino, Pa., Nov, 20.—The Philadelphia and Reading today sent to Milton from here | alarge force of carpenters to construct tem- porary bridges in place of the three structures washed away during last night by the flood, It may take two weeks to repair the damage. A large force of linemen were also sent to Sun- bury to look after the telegraph wires. The three bridges carried away were temporary ones erected in place of those wrecked by the disastrous tloods of several months ago. THE ALLEGHENY. Ouran, N.Y., Nov. 20.—The heavy and inces- sant rain of the past two days has caused a flood in the Allegheny river similar to the one last spring. The river is rising at the rate of 10 inches an hour and the rain continues, The new bridge over the Allegauy, built to replace the old one, is liable to go if the rain continues. Property along the lowlands is in great danger. Life-saving crews are being formed to be pre- pared for any emergency THE ALIBI DEFENSE. Further Evidence as to O’Sullivan’s Whereabouts May 4. Carcaco, Nov. 20.—A large number of Irish- men applied for admission to the Cronin mar- der trial this morning. They bad been at- tracted by the announcement that John Finnerty, Justice J. D, Lyon and anumber of prominent Irishmen had been summoned to testify in behalf of John F. Beggs. The testi- mony of these men, it was understood, would be in relation to the inner workings of the Clan-na-Gael and would doubtless be interest- ing. When court convened, however, it was manifest that the day would not be given over to the testimony behalf of Beggs, as the testimony for O'Sullivan was not complete. Miss McCormick, a sister of Mrs. Tom Whalen, O'Sullivan’s relative, was the first wit- ness called, She said she was at Mrs. Whalen's on the night of May 4and that Brennan and the other men, who have sworn to O'Sullivan’s alibi, were there. After supper witness and Mrs. Whalen went out to a ftriend’s, It was about 8:30 o’clock, at which time O'Sullivan was in the house. They returned about 10 o'clock and were admitted by O'Sullivan, who arose from his bed tojgo to the door. After- ward Miss McCormick and Mrs. Whalen went to O'Sullivan’s room to get a cot bedjon which Miss McCormick was to sleep, and wit- ness saw O'Sullivan and Mulcahey in bed to- gether. Ou May 5 witness was at Mrs. Wha- len’s house when Mrs. Conklin called and had a conversation with O'Sullivan about Dr, Cro- nin. Witness staid at Mrs, Whalen’s until about 7:30 o'clock Sunday evening,when she returned to her home. Shortly before leaving the two Hylands came into talk with O'suili- van, ‘CROSS-EXAMINED. Under asharp fire of questions the witness became confused and said that while she was sure she was at O'Suliivan’s on Sunday night, the 5th of May, she was not quite sure that sh was there on the preceding night, which wa: the night of the murder. The witness, how- ever, being further questioned repeated the story of her sopping xpesition with her sis- ter on Saturday night, the 4th, and their return tothe house just as she had told it on her direct oxamination, Mrs. Tom Whalen was the next witness called, and, after describing with great mi:futeness the plan and situation of her house, the location of the bed room and other details, proceeded to corroborate the testi- mony just given by her sister as ta their doings and O'Sullivan’s whereabouts on the night of May 4 and on the 5th. Mrs, Whalen further tevtified that she heard O’gulli- van previous to May 4 speak of his con- tract with Dr. Cronin at the supper table to the men. She also testified as to Conklin’s visit to O’Sullivan on the 5th of May and us to bis conversation coucerning Dr. Cronin’s disappearance. The witness wasnext asked to give her testimony concerning the visit of Mr, Ciancy, the New York cor- respondent, who called on O'Sullivan the day that Dr. Cronin’s body was discovered. Mr. Clancy, the witness said, came into the house and a agree alge — — discove: r.

Ferson, Irwin, Carney and Mack Have Signed With Baffalo. Bostox, Nov. 20.—Jack Rowe of Buffalo has signed the following players for the brother- hood club: Ferson in Manchester, John Irwin in South Boston, Carney in Salem and Conny Mack in Hartford. All these men were with Washington last season, With Wise. Rowe and White this makes seven men now signed by the new Buffalo club, AL MEYERS. Sr. Lovts, Nov. 20.—A special to the Republic from Terre Haute, Ind., says that Al Meyers, sec- ond baseman of the Philadelphia base ball club, whose release was recently purchased from the Washington club by the Philadelphia manage- ment for $4,000, yesterday signed a brother- hood contract. ee B. AND O. IN CHICAGO. An Elevated Road Into the Heart of the City to be Used. Curcago, Nov. 20.—A morning paper inti- mates that the Baltimore and Ohio is endeavor- ing to secure an independent entrance to this city by utilizing an ordinance passed last spring granting @ franchise for an elevated road be- tween Wabash avenue and State street as far north as Van Buren street close to the business heart of the city. The Baltimore and Ohio at resent secures entrance over the tracks of the Llinois Central, but has been notified to find other facilities. The matter is in the courts, and so fur the case has gone against the Balti- more and Ohio, so that the prospects are that it will have to vacate its present quarters. ‘MR. KING DENIES IT. Battrmore, Mp., Nov. 20.—In regard to the dispatch from Chicago in reference to the | trouble between the Baltimore and Ohio and Illinois Central railroads regarding terminal facilities, Mr. Thomas M. King, second vice president of the Baltimore and Ohio, states that his road knows nothin; of an elevated railroad franchise in Chicago and is making no arrangements to secure any. ‘There is no trouble between the Baltimore and Ohio and the Illinois Central over terminels. A difference exists between the roads regard- ing a small piece of ground which the Illinois Central thinks the Baltimore and Ohio is not entitled to under their agreement, but this does not seer the Baltimore and Ohio's terminals at al JEFFREY TO GO BACK. Sr. Louis, Nov. 20.—A movement ison foot looking to the reinstatement of E. T.

English and Holland boudhoiders do not indorse Acting President Harriman in retiring Jeffrey. DENIAL. Cuicaco, Nov. 20.—A dispatch from Indian- apolis, Ind.. says: M. E. Ingalls of the Big Four system said to a reporter yesterday that there was no truth whatever in the report that the Big Four was to purchase or in an way acquire the Chicago and Eastern Illinois prop- erty. THE FOREIG) BUDGET. SIR HENRY. Lonvow, Nov. 20.—Continuing his speech in behalf of the Times before the Parnell com- mission today Sir Henry James referred to the flight of Patrick Ezan as proof of criminal con- duct and declared that there was other proof of his association with the Phenix park mur- derers, He next referred to Byrnes’ alleged complicity in the murders while he was acting as secretary for the Parnellite party. Alluding to the suppression of the league's books Sir Henry said he did not wish to direct suspicion against Mr. Lewis nor to make allegations against him. Still, he could not help a that that astute gentleman had been impose: upon regarding the missing book.
