Complimented for
NEW YORK , July 23. After nn absence of
nearly ten weeks the United States cruiser
New York arrived liere today and anchored
In North river. Captain Evans , when seen
by the reporters of the Associated proas , ex
pressed himself as being hlgnly pleased with
the ship , and said with no little show of
pride that she was the boss of her class. Of
the average speed Captain Evans said : "We
had moderate to fresh gales nearly all the
time , and , although we only had three-fourths
boiler power for six days and half boiler
power three days , we made the trip from
Land's Kncl to Sandy Hook In the excellent
time of nine days and four hours. We had
heavy head seas and tlie wind , which was In
the beginning northwest , veered around. We
cncountetcd a heavy swell from east north
east , and it seemed to me we were to the
southward of a circular storm. I gave the
ship a full speed trial of eight hours' duration
In a head sea , and with 122 pounds of steam
the engines developed 103',4 ' revolutions per
minute under natural draught , and the cruiser
averaged a speed of seventeen and a half
knots an hour , with 9.DOO tons displacement.
Her horse power was developed with the con
sumption of 1.87 pounds ot coal , which Is the
lowest on record.
"I also gave her a good fair trial In a head
sea with a speed ot fourteen knots , and there
was not one moment during that time when
we could not have brought the guns on the
upper deck and all those on the gun deck ,
with the exception of the two forward guns ,
nto action. "
"How about the visit of the German em-
Deior ? " asked the reporter , "and what did
lie think about the ship ? "
"Well , now , " said the captain , 'iiigh'ng ' ' , "I
don't propose to tell the German cr.iporor's
"ecrets , but I can tell you I never met a
man like him In my life. Ho seems tn Unow
a great deal about everything. HI3 knowl
edge of naval architecture , particularly , EIT-
prlsed me very much , anil you can't fool him
in a single detail from the keel to the truck.
The night that he and his s > ulto dined wlt'i
us on board he gave me a sample ot his tech
nical knowledge about a man-of-war.
'About 1 o'clock In the morning , although
he had been already shown over the ship , he
express : ; ! a desire to see the er.gina room and
dynamo. After going throut ; ° i the engine
room , where ho made a clo'o examination

ST. LOUIS , July 25. A special to the Post-
DlspXtch from Hannibal says : H. H. Still-
well and wife arrhed here today from Chicago
cage , accompanied by Mrs. Susie Hayward ,
and It Is thought Mrs. Hayward's mission
hero Is to go before the grand Jury and tell
all she knows about the Stlllwell murder and
the relations existing between Dr. Hearne
and the widow of the murdered man prior
to and after the murder.
Mr. Mahan , counsel for the San Francisco
paper , says they have * plenty of good evidence
to defeat the libel suit.
Dr. Hearne and wife are still In the city ,
and will remain here until after the grand
Jury reports. It is generally believed that
Dr. Hearne wants the grand Jury to return
an Indictment against him. as ho feels con
fident that he cannot be convicted of the
murder -at Amoa J. Stlllwell. A committee
composed of three grand Jurors Is Investi
gating t-o ! evidence brought out In the depo
sitions , and a report is expected soon.

All the hope of a season illislpatcd In a

These are outlines of th ? picture presented
by Nebraska one year ago today , July 2G ,
1891 , will be remembered In Nebraska after
Julyi and Christmas are forgotten. Alt
the dreadful dettltutlon and suffering that
followed the total destruction of the crops of
the state In a ( tingle day will never be
known. All that has been told ot it Is but
a little of the real facts.
Today broad fields of growing corn , great
stalk ! of ripened grain stand monuments to
the anniversary , and people talk more freely
of the dreadful day , now "only a year ago. "
It was Just before midnight on the night
of July 25 that the wind began to blow from
the south. Ily 1 o'clock It had freshened tea
a stiff breeze and by daylight It was blowing
a gale. It Is difficult to write so as to give
one who did not experience It an Idea ot that
awful wind. It fairly blistered , scorched ,
withered everything endowed with life. All
day the sun shone with fierce Intensity , anil
all day that terrible wind bore clouds of dust
mid bits of rubbish along , making outdoor
life Impossible and existence Indoors all but
Intolerable. At daylight the heat was In
tense , but It steadily Increased until the local
record at least was broken. From the gov
ernment records figures are obtained showing
It was above 100 from noon till after sun
down. At 7 o'clock on the morning of July
26 the government thermometer registered
85 ; at 10 o'clock. 85 ; nt noon. 101 : at 1
o'clock. 102 ; at 2:30 : , 105 ; at 3 o'clock. 106 , the
liottcst ever known In Omaha. From this time
the heat slowly receded till shortly baforo 8
o'clock In the evening the mercury had
dropped below the century mark.
Itut all that night the dreadful gale con
tinued , and diminution In the temperature
seemed so slight as to be scarcely noticed.
One thing remarkable In the day's experi
ence was that there were but few cases of
prostration. This was remarked at the time ,
and was then ascribed to the lack of mois
ture In the atmosphere , the relative humid
ity being extremely low , a result of the
drouth that had so long prevailed.
Omaha and Nebraska were not alone In
their misery. Kansas , western Missouri and
Iowa , eastern Colorado. South Dakota , Mon
tana and Minnesota received their full share
of the nwful visitation. Dispatches printed
In The Uee nt the time give details of the
terrible sufTcring Immediately resulting from
the hot blast and destruction of the crops
that followed.

Next Monday afternoon at South Omaha
and In polic ? court an Investigation of the
Dawson-McCarty affair will be had. The
queen ot England has become so anxious to
get to the bottom of the affair wherein Dawson -
son and his family were assaulted near South
Omaha on July 31 , 1893 , by the McCarty
gang , according to the story which is cur
rent , that the United States has concluded It
can put off her majesty no longer. The Brit
ish lion will wait no longer on ceremony.
The secretary of state has requested the in
vestigation.
Orders to proceed with the Inquiry were
received by W. W. Slabaugh yesterday from
Governor Holcomb , directing him to take the
testimony In shorthand of all tha witnesses
he can get to testify concerning the affair.
Mr. Slabaugh has Invited more than twenty-
five to be present and tell what they know
of the case , even If It results In Uncle Sam's
being forced to beg the queen's pardon for
having had citizens EO bad that they would
not hesitate to give British subjects a trounc
ing while migrating- American soil.
Governor Holcomb expresses the hope that
the investigation will be thorough , as he has
heard It Intimated that the South Omaha au
thorities have been lax In getting at the true
story ,
The peculiar part of the Dawson story lies
In the fact that after they claim that their
property was destroyed and they had been
beaten and detained on their westward Jour
ney the Dawson family accepted an Invitation
from the McCarty people , went to Vic Mc-
Carty's house and Joined In merrymaking at
the nuptials of their daughter , which were
celebrated there. This occurred after the al
leged assault. Some lengthy depositions have
been sent Mr. Slabaugh , trying to explain
away the fact.
