Battle-Ship Oregon's Fine
Run to Santa Barbara.
FASTER THAN THE MASSACHUSETTS
The Trial Trip Will Probably Bo De
layed T'ntll Tuesday Getting
tstakeboats Into Position.
Sasta Bakbaba, Cal., May 10. The
battle-frhip Oregon dropped anchor in
. the channel at 11 o'clock thia morning,
outside the kelp. An Associated Frees
reporter was the first aboard. In an in
terview, Irving M. Scott said :
"It will be Tuesday before we get off
on the trip. The stakeboats have to get
into position of the ranges. This must
be carefully and accurately done. The
position of the stabeboats will be as fol
lows: At the eastern end, opposite
Goleta wharf, the TJnadilla; the Mc
Arthur at the western range, 31 miles
north from the start ; the Albatross off
Gavita wharf; the Gedney at a point
midway between the Unadilla and the
Albatross, about 10 miles apart.
"The ran down was most satisfactory.
We left the whistling buoy off the bar at
10:15 Saturday, the engines making
revolutions of 952, with an average
speed of 132 knots. We arrived at Port
Harford at 12 o'clock. From Port Har
ford to Point Conception, we loafed along
until daylight, to catch beacons and be
come familiar with the course. Here we
'hit her up' and made time from this
point to the lower range at a rate of
16.34 knots, for a distance of 15 or 18
miles."
Enthusiasm aboardship is unbounded,
and the record of the Massachusetts, of
16.15 knots, is doomed, crowning the
Oregon queen, and placing her-at the
very front among ships of her class, in
all the naties of the world.
Admiral Beardalee, Captain Cotton,
Captain Good all, and all the members
of the trial board, corroborated the
statement of Mr. Scott.
"The Oregon behaved admirably and
we will beat the Massachusetts or bu'et
something," eaid Chief Engineei For
sythe. A WAR CANDIDATE.
John Bookwalter - Believes Cleveland
Will be Nominated.
Cincinnatti, May 10. A special to
the Commercial Gazette from Spring
field, O., gives an interview with John
W. Bookwalter, the democratic candi
date for governor of Ohio in 1877. He
predicts that Grover Cleveland will be
nominated for the fourth time at the
Chicago convention. He eulogizes the
president as the leader of tariff reform,
and says he is now wanted as the leader
of the war party in this country. Mr.
Bookwalter believes the condition of for
eign affairs, especially with Great Brit
ain and Spain, will be such, two months
hence, as to compel the democracy to
take up President Cleveland, and that
the - war sentiment will be id bis
favor in November. He says the ad
ministration will be heard at the prop-
er time on the Cuban question, and
also on the Venezuela boundary, and
then it will be Cleveland's call. Mr.
Bookwalter also predicts a free silver
platform, and that the party will thus
be kept together for a great struggle.
Mr. Bookwalter is away much of his
time, but is now cultivating his old
home constituencies, and expects to go
to the Chicago convention as a delegate.
MR. STAGGK GONE.
Denver People Said to be Looking; Anx
iously for Him.
Blood will tell. Lionel Stagge turns
out to be a rogue after all. Some two
years ago a good deal of sympathy "was
waeted upon this gentleman, who with a
penitentiary record, was .appointed 're
ceiver for a prominent Portland bank.
Highest of all in Leavening Power. Latest U. S. Gov't Report
- SSOILWTeEv D5JE5E - .
The experiment of covering a wrong
doer with a mantle of charity, has in this
case proven a failure, and re-establishes
the truth of an old saw: "Once a
rogue, always a rogue."
The Denver Post of Tuesday, May 5th,
has the following, which will be of in
terest in Oregon :
"The police are looking for Lionel
Stagge and a dozen or more mining bro
kers are mourning'his sudden departure
from the city. Under a pretext of pub
lishing a manual of mining he gulled the
brokers for a total of $150, but he used
an afternoon political organ as a cloak
to cover his transactions, and the brokers
are even more wrathy because of this.
One broker said yesterday : 'It is cer
tainly exasperating that, from quarters
where honesty should be paramount, we
encounter smooth crooks.' The after
noon organ was captured by the suave
manner and handsome appearance of
Lionel, and the cash drawer is nearly
empty. It was touched up to the tune
of $175, and the building is in mourning.
Lionel drifted into this city about two
months ago. He is a decided brunette,
minus a moustache. The name under
which he sailed is no doubt an assumed
one. The police will for that reason
have difficulty in locating their man.
"Lionel proposed the publication of
a book devoted entirely to mining, and
secured the cooperation of a Denver
daily paper, and . the principal mining
brokers of the city. He worked for sev
eral weeks and used the hotel corridors
as a scene of operations with out-of-town
mining men. How many of them he
caught no one will ever know. As he
was well dressed and a good talker, he
likely convinced many that his scheme
was a great one. Without warning he
left town on the 25th of last month, and
the data collected went with him. His
name has been removed from over the
door of his office in the building of the
Denver newspaper which bad gone into
the scheme with him."
AUSTRALIAN BEE HUNT.
How the Natives Find the Well-Filled
Hives.
An Australian savag-e comes up to
an Irishman's idea of human skill, for
"he bates the Dees." A native seldom
fails to get honey when he. discovers
the bee he has been wathching' for. The
following' description of a native's bee
hunt is g-iven in ilr. Arthur's "Kangaroo
and Kiiiiin:"
Wairuyallah, the chief of a tribe,
went with two 1 ittle nets to a small pool,
filled his mouth with, water, and theu
lying down, his head hanging over the
pool, he remained quiet for an hour,
apparent ly looking at his own reflection
in the water. Then the hum of a bee
was heard. Buzz-z-z it went over the
pool, round the black's head, now on one
side, now on the other, and now close
to his ear; but not a motion betrayed
the bee hunter.
But when the bee, dropping close to
the water, gave notice by the change of
its tune that it was about to sip, the
chief, with a. snort, squirted the water
from his mouth over the little "buzzer."
Before it had time to recover from the
unexpected douche, he seized it dex
teriously by the wings.
Then .he prepared it for the chase by
fastening to it a bunch of wild cottotf
with some gum. The bee was let go; it
made for its hive, slowly at first on ac
count of its. novel burden,, which. im
peded its progress and showed a sign in
the air for the chief to follow. Over
bramble and brake went the chief, ac
companied by the men of his tribe, and
in half an hour halted at the foot of an
immense gum tree, into whose top the
bee had gone.
The chief mounted quickly, by cutting
notches into the bark with hi3 stone
tomahawk. In a- short time he brought
down a quantity of honeycomb, a small
piece only of which contained honey.
The Australian bees are si mgless.
