six nautical miles, she raced to-day
under the watchful eyes of I'nlted
States naval representatives, ami es
tablished a new lecord by maintaining
an average speed of l","l knots for
four consecutive hours. Not only did
ho demonstrate that she was faster
than any warship of her sle a Moat,
but she proved her ability to turn upon
an enemy with extraordinary quick
ness by describing a coiupleie eirelo
within Ilnfi yards, or little more than
twice her length, In tluee minutes and
ten seconds, while ploughing through
the sea at full speed.
Steadiness and reserve power char
acterized the performance of tlie ship
throughout the severe test. The work
of her engines was smooth and even,
and the records of the day showed but
one-tenth of a knot difference In speed
between the northern run and the re

plosion took place In the Port "Royal
mines at 1 o'clock this afternoon in No.
i shaft. It sent up a whirlwind of
oil, dust und smoke mid proved conclu
sively that the gas is still active in
tho mines. It will probably be toinor
low afternoon before the mine inspec
tors can get together for the purpose
of deciding as to the advisability of
making another attempt to recover the
dead hi the mine before Hooding It.
Coroner Wynne, of Westmoreland
county, commenced an Inquiry Into
the cause of tho disaster at this place
this afternoon. Only two witnesses
were examined when adjournment wan
taken until tomorrow. The Inquest
will probably occupy several days as
the jury, which Is composed of well
known business men, seems deter
mined to get at the cause of the dis
aster if it can be learned.
Tom tileason, pit boss, in his testi
mony at the inquest, said the man re
sponsible for the explosion Is still In
the mine. Ilo testified that ho had
put up a, danger signal which Assistant
Pit Boss Hadley tore down and told
the mull all was safe. The explosion
followed a short time afterward. Glea
son promised to have nt the Inquest
tomorrow two witnesses to corrobor
ate his statement.
Rev. Father Carroll of Sinitliton, in
sists that some of the men in the burn
ing mine are yet alive and asked to
night that he. be. permitted to lend a
relief party.
"I have four experienced miners from
the coke regions," lie said, "who will
go Into the shaft with me, 1 will go
one hundred yards ahead ami will
bring out the men alive or dead."
Some one spoke of reniovlf .' the
plugs lu the river bed and lettl g 'the
water into the mine.
"That would be wrong," said Father
Carroll, "at least until the mine has
been closed seven days."
Father Carroll has offered a reward
of $L',()ni) to any party that will recover
the bodies In the mine or rescue tlie
entombed men alive.
Tlie mine authorities have advised
Father Carroll against going into tho
mine.
