probably will never bo equalled by
any of the present flyers operating
on this coast.
The distance the Charlotte has
steamed in equal to six and ono-hulf
llmod the circumference of tho world
at the equator; fifty-three times tho
illxtancc frcrn New York to Liver

Yokohama, and 26 times the distant
from Victoria to Hongkong.
Chief t.nglncor Heritago says that
tin distant t steamed up to March

Vr a month to have her annual
overhaul, was 1 54,467 nautical mile,
which vis covered in 9,267 hours
nul I t minutes, at au average speed 1
of 16.67 knots an hour. This Is
claimed by the officers of the Cliar

days, tho Princess was never out of
commlslon, except for a day or two
when It wm found necossary to

paint her hull.
Ater a careful search In the re

been found that the liners to come

As a result of the statement that
lobbyists are working overtime In

been started which began operation
today. Every Senator and Congress
nun will bo Interrogated regarding

Washington, Junp 3 ? Tho senat
ors are Innocent of wrong doing and
wrong Intent. For tho past few days
they havj been uudergolng an ex
amination to ascertain If uny undue
Influences are being lined upon then
to sway tielr votes on the tariff cr
other questions, und the results havo
shown that such is not the caa?.
Far fron. It.
Tho probing committee have tak
.?n up th" charges made by 1'renl
lent Wii?or. that lobbyists exist la
the nation's capital, and the commu
te ? members have asked the senators
I' tho statements are true, and they
have denied that any undue influ
ences have been attempted. In fact,
'he reports of tho senators seem to
indicate that, the lobbyists are ex
ceptionally considerate and truthful
Individuals They would not Influ
ence a senator no sooner than o
senator would be influenced.
It Is claimed by senators and lob
byists that each side has a perfect
right to work for the bills which
they think will bo to tho advantage
of tho people of their districts, but
that to offer bribes, or to Influ
