OF INSPECTION. BEE HIVE THE FASTEST ARMORED VESSEL IN THE WORLD. TRIP OF THE GREAT WARSHIP. All Previous Records Broken Four Thousand Patriotic Philadelphians Cheer the Monster as She Steams Down the Delaware Detailed Account of Her Action. Philadelphia, March 26.

With tbe proud distinction of having broken the record of all preliminary trials, and the satisfaction of being tbe fastest armored vessel in the world, the cruiser New York returned to Cramps' shin yard" this morn ing. From tbe hour she steamed down the Delaware until her arrival to cay, naval experts have awaited with deep in terest tbe result of the great warship's initial performance. Despite heavv rain squalls and a biting wind from the southeast fully 4,000 patriotic Philadelphians were present to wish the warship Godspeed as she backed out into the stream, and started down the river on her trial trip. When the giant screws began to re vol and the monster vessel was actually under way tor the first time the spectators shouted them selves hoarse. Oaptain Sargent waved bis cap from the forward bridge and acknowledged the salutes with his powerful siren whistle that seemed to shake the mighty ship from stem to stern.

The run down the river and bay was made with fires half banked and under natural draft. Tbe maximum pressure of steam carried was 120 pounds to the square inch. Starting with forty five revolutions, a speed of ten knots was at tained and held until Greenwich Point was well abaft the beam. After this tbe new vessel seemed to warm up to her work, the throttle was thrown open, nine ty five revolutions reached, and the speed increased to 17.5 knots. Ibis made rather uncomfortable for the figures Liberty abd Justice on each side of the stem, lor they were deluged with cold spray from head to foot.

The vessel seemed to glide through the water as noiselessly as a yacht, however, and there was scarcely any vibration throughout the ship. At the end of an hour pun, tne stew ard came aft in a great state of excite ment and reported the compartments which his provisions were stored, ankle deep in seawater. A careful examination of the forward part of the vessel revealed tbe fact that the water had been forced in through the forward torpedo tube. At anchor, this opehiug is a few feet above the water line! but at a high rate of speed it is almost completely buried in tbe sea. Constructor Nixon placed a water tight buck ler over it in place of the temporary one, and the leak gave no further trouble, 'i1 mi paH'm tilt, compartment being quickly emptied, for sea.

water ana mess stores are not the most agreeable shipmates. Nixon cut the (Jordian knot by having a small hole drilled through the steel deck. This drained the compartment into another on the deck below, one tbat would not be in jured 4by the introduotion of a small amount of water. Without further ex citement the New York anchored at nightfall about seven miles to the northward of tbe breakwater, Wednesday was cold and danrn with a fresh breeze from the Northeast. The New York lay quietly at anchor in the early morning and the prosoect of a run outside looked rather discouraging.

At 8 o'clock it brightened up a bit and the cruiser got under way for the purpose of correcting her compasses and adjusting me compensating magnets, this accom plished, the vessel returned to her anchor age lo wait for good weather to begin her trial. By Saturday morning the wind had hauled to tbe westward and tbe weather was clear. Fires were lighted at dav ligbt and before 6 o'clock the New York was under way, running for the five fathom bank lightship. The race was to be between this and the northeast end lightship, a dislanco of 9.88 nautical miles, the depth of water being 12 fathoms. This table tells the story of the two trials: Five Fathom Bank Lightship to North east End Lightship, course north by east.

dist9.88 nautical miles. Start, 8.2415: finish, 8.53.53; difference, 29 minutes 38 seconds; speed, 20.03 nautical miles per hour. Second Trial Northeast End LightshiD to Five Fathom Bank Lightship, course south by west, dis't 9.08 nautical miles. Start, 9.13.07; finish, 9.42.58; difference. 29 minutes 51 seconds; speed, 19.87 nau tical miles; average lor the two trials.

19.95 miles. In the afternoon the cruiser was headed to the eastward in search of deeper water. In a run of four consecutive hours she maintained a speed of 20.38 knots per hour, reaching as high as 20.57 as the water deepened. With these satisfactory results the New York anchored for the night and steamed up to the shipyard on Sunday morning. TWENTY SIXTH YEAH.

THE PLACE REEKING IH FILTH Condition of the Institution Brought to the Attention of the Authorities and Rebuked in the Strongest of Terms The Secretary of the State Board of Health Writes Up, the Matter.

Columbus. 0., March 26. The atten tion of Secretary Probst, of tbe State Board of Health, was recently called to a terrible condition of affairs at the Colum hiiin Oountv Infirmary, situated four miles east of New Lisbon. An official investigation was made, and tbe result was made public yesterday in a letter by bee rotary Probst to John M. Searas, President of tbe County Board of Visitors at Salem.

Tbe infirmary has 160 or more inmates. Tbe main building was found in a condition unfit for occupancy, with no ven tilation and bad sanitation, and cabbage and potatoes rotting in a dark cellar. It was in the insane department, however, that the horrors were really found to ex isL Secretary Probst says: "The insane department is a serjarate buildiutr of two stories and a basement. Tbe foulness of this building is beyond description. In the bailment there is central hall with rooms for inmates on either side.

TERRIBLE CONDITION OF TIIE FLOORS. "The hall floor, originally cemented, is now broken in places, and a sewer, cov ered in cart with loose boards, runs through its center. The flooring in some of the rooms is worn and broken, showing large openings. The rooms were foul and dirty, and scrubbing must simply wash some of the filth on tbe ground underneath. The patients are filthy in their habits, so that tbe ground under tbe basement floor must be saturated with filth of the worst description.

"The plastering has almost entirely fallen from tbe ceiling, and the walls are blackened aud dirty. Tbe first floor over tbe basement was comparatively clean, although it could be only called so when compared with tbe basement and upper floor. Words cannot describe the foulness of the rooms in the upper story. The temperature was fully 91) degrees, windows were all closed, so that ventilation was practically nil, and tbe stench tbat greeted our nostrils was something never to be forgotten and beyond anything ever experienced by us. TILTH IN TONS ALL AROUND.

"The rooms on each floor are provided with hopper closets, which can only be flushed by a valve outside in the hall; with few exceptions these hoppers were filthy, while in one room the hopper was filled with filth. Inonecorner.lying on the floor, was au insane nero in a condition scarcely to be imagined. feSu TfHk atmosphere of this place would seem incredible, yet some sixty or more inmates inhabited tins building. Ihere is but one attendant, and tbe inmates are locked up at night, the attendant bleeping in the main building, so that in case of fire or accident (and many of the patients are epileptic) not one is at hand to give prompt assistance." SAM JONES SAYS IT IS A LIE That He is Gunning for a Brother Minister. Atlanta, March 26.

Sam Jones, in a telegram to the afternoon paper yesterday denounces as "A great big lie," the statement telegraphed from Carterville to the effect that he and a brother minister were carrying guns for each other. The statement, it is alleged, grew out of rather strained relations between Jones and the Kev. Mr. Dobbs of the Presbyterian church over charges made by Dobbs against Rev. ilr.

Omaha. March 26.

The Omaha Bee special from Lincoln says it has been learned from an absolutely reliable source that Governor Crounse has determined to take active steps in the prosecution of State officers who are just now under a cloud. He is doing this, it is said, to protect his own administration. On Thursday the Governor called Attorney General Hastings into his private office anil after a long and rather excited conference laid before him the choice of resigning or going before the Legislature and defending himself against a warrant of impeachment preferred by the Governor himself. Hastings made a plea that he could not be expected to resign when he had a chance of vindicating himself, and refused to resign. Governor Crounse then stated positively he would prefer charges against the Attorney General, and the conference ended.

The third party who overheard the entire conversation states that the Governor said now that the work was commenced he would push it until tbe government of the State had been cleared. Hastings is concerned, with the other members of the State Board of Public Lands and Buildings, in the frauds at the various State institutions, and especially the cell house fraud, on which the report was made to the Legislature that led to the adoption of a resolution calling for the impeachment of the members of the Board. Tne House received a report trom tne Committee on Legislative Appropriations, which shows that the funds appropriated for the maintenance of the State House has been shamefully misapplied. The affair has created a great sensation. WOMEN WHO WILL VOTE.

6 0TJR STORES WILL CLOSE trial RIGHTS OF LABOR UNIONS. Decision in the Suit of the Government Against the Amalgamated Council. New Orleans, March 26. Ex Judge Billings in the United States Court yesterday rendered an opinion in the suit of the government against the Amalgamated Couneil and the officers of the various labor organizations which ordered the general strike in Novembar lust. An injunc tion against the organizations was asked for under the act of Congress pro oiung combinations in restraint of trade.

In an elaborate opin ion the court sets aside every claim of the defendants and declares that the acts cf the Amalgamated Council and the officers of the union were unlawful in ordering a gen eral striKe ana mat the merchants are en titled to injunctions and other relief. The decision discusses fully the rights of labor unions and is far reaching in its ef iects. as a result or tne cecision, criminal prosecution against the defendants will probably lie, but it is not certain whether the United States authorities will proceed i urtner against tne alleged labor loaders. BEHIND CLOSED DOORS. AN IMPORTANT MEETING OF SWITCH MEN.

They Discuss the Question of a Strike Dnr Ibis the World's Fair But Opinion Was Divided. 0 Philadelphia, March 26. An impor tant meeting of the United Brotherhood of Switchmen was held this afternoon at No. 4,055 Lancaster avenue. Tbe meet ing was held behind closed doors and only known and accredited representatives of tbe Order were admitted.

The meeting was in session for two hours. and when it adjourned, information in regard to its proceedings was refused. Nevertheless, a slight general idea oi the business that came before the meeting was oDtained. The purpose ot the meet ing was to discuss the question of a strike upon the Pennsylvania rail road and the roads entering Chicago during the Worlds Fair, or just prior to its opening. Delegates were present from various points along the line of the Pennsylvania, and from the local branches of the Brotherhood in Chicago.

A numoer oi letters were read, the general sentiment of Which was against a strike. The feelings of the switchmen at the meeting, however, were somewhat more pronounced, than those of the writ ers of the letters, and a strong sentiment seemed to prevail in favor ot taking ad vantage of the coming rush of business on the railroad line to state the men grievances and demands, and to put a pressure oi some description upon the railroad com panies to compel them to grant them.
