IT EARNS A SPLENDID BONIS In Every Detail the Trial Test Exceeds Expectations and Demonstrates Anew the Marked Superior, ity of Yankee Ilruliis. Boston, Oct. 18. In her official trip between Cape Ann and lloone Island, a distance of thirty-one knots, the battle-' bli tp Indiana made an average speed of 15.01 knots for four hours. This Is 61-100 knots above the speed required by the government, and as there wns a premium offered of I'iu.OOO for every quurter knot made over fifteen, the Cramps will receive $J0,OOC as a bonus In excess of the contract price offered. This may be Increased to $75,000 when the tidal observations are worked out, as the allowance for tidal obstructions will probably give the ship 16.75 knots. The very satisfactory speed developed by the Indiana is secondary to the won derful wav In whluh the machinery worked. The run to Oape Ann con sumed two hours, and on the way there the big boilers were bottling up steam fur the dash across the line. Forced draught was turned on an hour .before the starting point wns reached. At 10 o'clock the Indiana approached the starting line. At 10.03.13'A Captain Hradford cried "Mark." and the Indi ana was off. The run toBoone Island was made against the tide, an consumed two hours, two minutes and seven sec onds, the ship passing the last stake boat at 12.05. The average speed for the thirty-one knots was at the rate of 15.24 knots per hnur. The average speed be tween the six buoys was as follows: 14.CS, 15.2S, 15.54, 15.45.. 15.19. Tho Kctnrn Journey. The speed mmle. to Boone Island was disappointing, but It was expected, and the expectation was fulfilled that the f hip would do better on the way back. In making the turn nineteen minutes was consumed, and the Indiana passed the Fern at 12.24.01. The speed of the ship was noticeably greater. Un der the able superlntendency of Walter 8. Cramp the engineers and firemen were straining every nerve. The en gines were revolving faster and faster, and the Immense hull was quivering and vibrating with the rapid pulsa tions. The first leg was reeled off at an average speed of 15.99, the second at 18.12, the third at 15.85. the fourth at 15.70, and the 'last stake boat was left astern at a speed of 16.30 knots. It was 2.30.21 when the trial was over, Just one hour, fifty-five minutes and thirty-five seconds from Boone Island, and a total of three hours, fifty-eight minutes and twenty-eight seconds. A gain of eight minutes on the westward run was made and the average speed was 15.90. This brought the average for the four hours up to 15.01, a com fort alble excess over the contract speed of fifteen knots. , A Genuino Yankee Triumph.- A remarkable circumstance was the speed made between the last two stake boats. It proved that the Indiana was nible to do better after her machinery had been driven at high pressure for a considerable time than when the en gines were first put under forced draught. This Is In marked contrast to the performance of English battle ships of the Royal Sovereign class. The English have never succeeded In get ting much better than sixteen knots out of their first-class battleships, and when they have attained this speed, it has been at the expense of ruined ma chinery. The Indiana's machinery is a triumph of American construction. The engineer officers of the trial board were surprised at the wonderful per formance of the engines today. Not the slightest dim cutty developed, and the engineers were unanimous In the opinion that the engines were the best they have ever handled. During the last fifteen minutes of the run 1,1,800 horse power was developed. The aver age horse 'power developed was 9,700, which 'is 700 more than required by the government. It Is expected that 'the Indiana will go into commission some time about the first of next month. A. O. U. W. SESSION ENDED. Nominations for Officers Mado at the Johnstown Convention. Johnstown.

DIN'S WEEKLY REVIEW. nusineM for the Week Has peon Fair, but Not Phenomenal-Evidences of Im provement Exhibited In Certain Direc tions. New York, Oct. IS. Dun's review to morrow will say: The events of the week are promising In nature, though to speculative marknts not entirely en couraging. The great advance in cot ton had arrested exports, and so de ranged exchanges that shipments of gold were for a time apprehended, but the break In the market Indicates Mint the natural movement of the product may soon be restored. The halting of demand and moderate yielding of prices In the great Industrial markets Bhow that a season of reasonable attention to natural conditions has arrived, and gives hope that the future demand will be more nearly proportional to actual consumption.! The week has brought a little further decline In Iron and steel products, In hides and leather and a more yielding tone In boots and shoes. Wheat does not go out freely, and the attempt to advance prices on "Monday was followed by an Immediate decline. The Atlantis exports, flour Included, hnve been in the past three weeks 4,558,455 bushels, against 7,248,111 last year, and the bl shipments from Russia and of late from Argentina show that the world is not yet obliged to ipay Atlantic prices for American wheat. The Iron industry Is still fully engaged on old orders, but new business 4s so scanty that many of the works are seeking it at some concessions in price, and the only large contracts have been at $1.75 to $1.80 for bridge plates, quoted at 1.9 to 2.0 cents. Quotations ere not lower, though any good order com mands some discount. Billets sell at $21 and rod at $28 at Pittsburg, want of business In wire and wire nails continu ing. 'Mills have to complete In pig Iron and other products with speculators who took large quantities on advanc ing tprices, and ncturl consumption will not be fairly measured until the effects of the speculation are out of the way. Failures for the -week havebwn 263 In the felted States against 253 last year, and 46 in Canada against 43 last year.

Paroled In Custody of a Deputy Sheriff. Hot Sprtngs, Oct. 18. Champion Cor bett arrived In this city this morning from his training quurters at Spring L,ake and was met at the depot by Sheriff Houpt and Manager Braly, Joe Vendlg and other friends and the otllclals of the Florida Athletic club. Corbett, Brady and the sheriff drove to the office of the Justice of the peace, W. A. Kirk, Where everything appeared to be In readiness for the Judicial proceed ings that had evidently been agreed upon. The sheriff presented his pris oner to the court. At this Juncture, Mr. Martin, attorney for Corbett, entered the court room and: presented a petition addressed to Hon. Iceland Ieatherman, Judge of the cliuncery court of Garland county, and praying that the Judge award Corbett a writ of habeas corpus "to the end that the cause of his detention may be In quired into and for other relief." The warrant upon which Corbett was arreated and brought before the Justice of the peace states that "there are good an'I sufficient grounds for believing that d. J. Corbett is about to engage and has threatened to engage In a glove con test and prize fight with one Robert Fltzsimmons In Garland county, Ar kansas, and the said glove contest and prize fight will be of a charaoter en dangering human life. It was sworn out by Justice Kirk upon statements of Prosecuting Attorney Teague. The petition of Corbett was granted and he was arraigned before Chancery Judge Leatherman. Details of the Trial. After the arraignment adjournment was taken until 1.30 p. m. At that hour the court reconvened and Attorney (Martin read the official documents to the court and announced that he was ready for trial. The first evidence in troduced was fhe enactments of the legislatures of 181 and 1893. and from the house records It was plainly made to appear toy the attorney for Corbett that the enactment of the laws of 1891 was illegal, because they passed by a viva voce vote Instead of roll call, as the constitution of the state provides shall be done in all cases. The first witness was Joseph Vendlg, by whose testimony it was proved that the defendant 'had made an agreement to engage in a glove contest In this city Oct. 31 with Robert Fitzslmmons for a purse of $11,000 under the auspices of the Florida Athletic cluib. Before the testimony of Mr. Vendlg was com pleted. Attorney Martin requested the chancellor to allow Corbett to depart for 'Little Rock,, where he has an en gagement to show tonight. The chan cellor granted the request, but required the sheriff to send a deputy with him to see that he returned tomorrow. The court then adjourned until tomorrow at 1.30 p. m. Interview with Prosecuting Attorney. IA United Press reporter Interviewed Prosecuting Attorney Teague this morning as to the law which gives the governor the power to send the militia for the purpose of suppressing riots or mobs. Attorney Teague stated In ef fect that the governor has no right to send militia Into any county of the state without having first been called upon to do so by some of the civil au thorities from the county In which the militia is to be sent, and that they were not to be called upon until the civil authorities found that they were not able to suppress the riot or mob. which ever it might be, under the circum stances. "In case the present proceedings that have been instituted go throuKh, as the friends and backers of Corbett think they will, what will then be the attitude of the governor?" "He will be tied up as tight as Dick's hat .band," replied the prosecuting at torney. "Then if Judge Duffle should call upon the governor to send the militia to stop proceedings, would the governor be compelled to do so?" "Yes, I think he would. He would be bound to respect the call of the cir cuit Judge In that case. But In event that he should do so, the militia would be under the orders of the local peace officers. The sheriff would have su preme control over them after they had entered the county." Could Do with Them as lie Wished. "If the sheriff has control of the troops after they have come Into the county, what would be rhe result?" "Wtill, he could make whatever dis position of them he saw proper. The laws provide that the militia shall be under the control of the local peace oflleors, and the sheriff being the head he couM plant them down at the race track if ihe felt so disposed, and keep them there until their services were necessary to suppress any mob or riot." "What effect. If any, will a writ of habeas corpus have, supposing that the chancery Judge should grant one?" "It will act as a check upon the of ficials.
