CUHGLOR.YONTHE OCEAN
THS CHARLESTON’S SHOWING A
SATISFACTORY ONE.
Comparison With Her Japanese Pro
totype R<3'3Ulta in Her Favor—The
Atlanta’s Loss of Speed Explained
by a Broken Cross-head—An Order
to Prev-iut Favoritism.
Santa Barbara, Cal., May 10.—The
crui er Clmrle-ton pnt to sea early this
m lining. During yesterday the naval ei
gineers had been working with the results
shown by the cards taken during the down
ward {was sage from San Francisco, to dem
onstrate the horsepower developed. The
maximum horse power shown was
about 8,000, under which impulse the
ship was driven at a speed
exceeding fourteen knots. The problem
now of forc’ng the cruiser is to attain the
7,000-horse poser des red by the govern
ment, wi ich will probably be solved duri g
the cruise ente-ed upon to-day, providing
thoengi es will behave as well as during
the t'enty-three hours preceding her ar
rival here. If the cruiser does not meet ex
pects iors to day, and it is found necessary
after making the morning start to subject
the engines to a still longer test
in order to enable t'.era to drop in
easy working condition, the cruise will bo
extended over to-day. For that purpose
the four-hour te3t will not occur until Sat
urday. The comparisons made of the
cruiser’s run on Wednssdav with the results
nude by fast Japan se cruisers of the same
type, are said to be in favor of t e Charles
ton, up to the i oint attempted in developing
her torse-power. The Japanese c.uiser
Tacacbito Kan. which is is the prototype of
the Charleston, in making seve 'tv-two rev
olutions of i er propeller in Ytddo harbor,
developed 1,349 horse-power a id a stood of
11.53 k ots, while the e gineaof theCharles
tor, with seventy revolutions, developed
l, horse-' ower and drove her at a speed
exceeding 13 knots.
WHY THE ATLANTA LOST SPEED.
Washington, May 10 —The steel cruiser
Atlanta which arrived at New York fro ti
tue South A lautic station just i efore the
centennial celebration will probably be de
tained at that port f r some time. It ap
pears that the cross-head of her main engine
was p rtially fractured two years ago when
on her trial trip. This accounts for her
suppos and loss of speed when in actual
service. The engines ore stilt capable of
running up to forty' i evolutions per minute,
bu'it is not deemed pru ent to . How the
ship to go to sea until a no v cross-head has
been supplied, which will take soma time.

A TERMINAL DEAL.
The Minority itock of the Richmond
and Danville Bought.
New York, May 10. —The big trade
made by the R chmo.id terminal managers
to-diy w.-.s no doubt among those im
portant negotiations which were referred
to by insiders who sa : d, day before
yesterday,that because of such negotiation t
i was especially u idesirablo ih it Jomi H.
Inma i should resign the preudancy of t. e
terminal comp ti y just at th s time. The
directors m t to-day and by -hr imou;
vote concluded t- e purch iso of 7,339 (shares
f Rich i ond and Danville slock. This
makes the Terminal Company own the en
ure enpital stock of the Richmond and
Danville. Wren a controlling interest was
bought ab ut three years ago certain mi
nority stockholders declined to seii, and it
was their interest which was bargained f r
to-day.
THE PRICE.
The price paid to-day for 7,337 shares wns
the same as that paid for ha majority
stock t. ree years ago, namely $235 pe
share. This j urcb-.se money is not
paid in cash, but in securities o>
the Terminal Company as follows:
For every share of Danville stock SBS
is to be paid in a 5 per ceut. collateral trust
Terminal bond, and the re nainmg SISU
(making $235, the price at which the Dan
ville stock w,s tioug it), is to be paid m
Terminal common stock at $23 per share.
A NEW ISSUE.
This will require sornetii g over ?4,000,-
(00 of terminal, which will be provided by
an issue of that mac i news ock.am juding
to just about a 10 per cent, inc ease < f the
present canitaiizatio . Tne price paid for
the Danville stock to-day is th uzht by some
to be a fancy figure, but others count it a goo i
bargain for tne Te int al Con pane. N (til
ing w. s heard of the trade until just befor
the market clo el, and even th tn it was
known t > but very few. It proved open
secret enough, howeve , to make free sell
ing and a snarp decli e in Terminal stock,
the price breaking a full poi t dur
ing the last fifteen minutes before 8 o’eloex.
CLAIMS OF THE MANAGEMENT.
It is suggested by the un-anguino to
night that tuis mere •*;>• f stock is only a
iu tiatnry step in that direc i n, which wib
no doubt lead to further actio t of tile .'a a
sort. Those who appr. ve what was don
io-day say it is not only a leg -
tiniate but an advantageous move,
since the Terminal acquires liy the
trades big dividend-paying security ad
pays for t.ie greater part of i
in its own common stock,
bich is in no sense a fixed charge.
Whether the deal was wise or unwise, out
undebatable tact results. There will now
hoover 40,000 shares more ot Term! ;b
stock than heretof' r>, and the market will
have just that mu' ii mere to t ike < 'IT.

A TALK on pensions before the
SCOTCH-IRISH RALLY.
He Outlines His Podcy of Increasing
the Stipends of Ex-Union Soldiers as
Much as Possible—An Assertion That
It Is the Duty of the Southern States
to Care for the Ex-Con!ed rates.
Columbia, Tenn., May 10. —The opening
prayer at the Scotch-Irisb convention this
morni g, by Dr. Mclntosh, was followed
by an address by Dr. Kelly of Nashvil e.
He said, among other t tings, that the doc
trine that government was only by the con
sent of tiie governed through representation
was first announced by the Scotch-Irish
Presbyterians in a formal reply to tiie lo g
parliament of Cro uweli, and that the voice
of the Scotoh-liisii was tha first to ba
heard for co istitutional libarty on Ameri
can soil, ibat they pou-ed into this coi i
ent in steamers of 12,000 a r ear during tie
eighteenth century, s < tha* Quaker Penn
sylvania cried out, “save us from these
Presbyterians;” that ex uni-mum has
convinced him of the fact that
to C aiglead belonged the honor of
laying -he foundation of American i de
pendence. Some dou t has been raised in
regard to the Meckleuberg deelarauo t, but
e had seen the authentic copy nail by
Thomas Polk on that, memorable >< c ision,
which had been ca efully preserved by a
grand-niece of Polk, and is now oxta t.
He then pointed out t e dis-.i guishmg
feature of the WautiUga declaration pro
mulgated by the Scotch Irishmen, and that
to which the May-flow- r gave birth. The
latter commenced with a declaration of
loyalty to too people.
GRAPHIC WORD PAINTING.
He then gave graphic and inter

GLOWING TRIBUTES.

to the memory of Jaine, 1C Polk, Hugh L.

of whom were are of Sco.ch-Irish ex rac

CORPORAL TANNER SPEAKS.
Corp. Tanner f llowed dr. Kelly.
Iu the ourse of his addres ; C mmissioner
Tanner said that he was p oud of the fact
that he c uld bring from his comrades ii
the north a sentiment in perfect harmony
with the peace and good feeling dominant
t.ere to-day. N > mat er, ho said, ho v
earnestly you may fitht, a man; no matter

OUTLIVING HIS POLICY.
In speaking of the policy to be pursued
by him as commissioner, in the adminis
tration of the pe. siou bureau, lie said, m
part:
For long years I have had one conscientious
conviction in tny heart which has grown with

that no man aho wore the b!u“ and laid it off in
honor shall ever fee 1 ihe necessity of, or be
permitted to crawl under the roof of an alms
ouse for shelter. Th wolf of want must in
common decency be driven from the door of
the maimed or diseased v t ran, and of the
widows and orohani of those who have already
laid down t orn- lives. Only a few weeks since

prayer, which could be distinctly heard in
the street.
The prisoners ate their supper with as
much relish as usual and appeared very
quiet, except Matthews, who was taking
his fate very hard. Ho passed a restless
night, praying at short intervals, asking
the Lord to give ! itn strength to go through
the ordeal and claiming that he was a mar
tyr. Ho did not sleep over two hour, dur
ing the night. The two Walkers retired
about 11 o’clock, went to sleep and did not
wake until alter 4 o’clock. They stated
that they rested well. They were up

said: “I have to die, but thank (1 and lean

to regret. I went out througli the hole, not
because I was guilty, but to esea e a

TRADE IN A MIXED STATE
SOME BRANCHES FLOURISHING
AND OTHERS LANGUISHING.
The Period One of Readjustment and
the Symptom Therefore Not an Un
usual One—Money Reported Easy at
Most Points—The Failures of the
Week.
Nkw York, May 10.—R. G. Dunn &
Co's., review of trade for tho weeks says;
Post-centennial business here has abund
dantly satisfied tome houses, but greatly
disappointed many others. It is the most
prominent characteristic of tho present
situation throughout the country that the
usual consistency of commercial action ia
lacking; transactions and results for some
branches of busiua-s are highly satisfactory,
and for others much the reverse. This ia
not an untisal symptom of a p*ri:xi of
commercial and industrial readjustment,,
when everything has to b ad .pted to :■*
new scale if price* and p ofits, aid to now
conditions, but it has hardly ever been mors
orom none than it is now. Many iron
works are closing, f>r example, but many •
are doing remarkably w ell Many wo )len
mills are idle, but others are at worx on
full lime with lair profits. The approaching
transition fro none crop yea to another,
tho recent change of administration,
changes in the interstate comma ce law,
and the rapid development of manufactures
at t.ie south, are producing effects which
cannot yet lie fully measured.
IRON PRODUCTION DECLINING.
Iron production has b gun to decline, the
output weekly of anthracite and hitumin
us, May 1, being only 133,774 tons, a de
crease of 4,343 tons weekly since April 1.
But the announcement by tiie Thomas Iron
Coinpnuv that it will supply No. 1 foundry
at stl> 50 at tide, and gray forge at sls, or
lower, if necessary to meet south
er i competition, is expected to
accelerate a re luction of the output.
