A BIG BONUS 'FOR BUILDERS. “’enther Conditions Favorable For the Test—Light. Winds and a. Smooth Sea—Experts on Board—Descrip- tion or the Big Warship. Boston, April 8.———The new battleship Iowa. left 'her anchorage belowlBoston light early today for her Official trial of speed over the Cape Ann course. The government steamboats which mark the course went out to their respective posi- tions early. A light westerly wind pre- vailed in the bay, the sea was compara- tively smooth and the conditions for the trial were perfect. During the night the 300 men who make up the vessel’s complement were kept busy making all final preparations for the trial, so that everything was in perfect condition when she started to- day. The vessel got up steam before day- light, and by sunrise was ready for her test. At 8 o’clock the tug Kate Jones, which acts as the Iowa’s tender, flying the Cramp flag, went alongSide with the guests and such members of the trial board as were not already on the ship. Conspicuous among the visitors were ex- .lfresident Jorge Moritt of Chile, now ad- miral in the Chilean navy, and Lieuten- ant Luiz Gomez of the same navy. Everything on the, vessel that might catch the wind and impede progress and that could by any possibility be re- moved was got out of the way., The boats were slung in behind the super- structure and the fines. The flag pole astern, which could not .be readily un- shipped, was sawed off close to the, rail. The course over which the trial was made was 33 nautical miles in length, and for the purposes of taking time and -making tidal observations this was di- vided into five equal parts. Each of these parts was marked by a. station in- dicated by a. black can buoy, so that there were six stations in all. To mark the stations further and also to give the pilot of the Iowa a larger mark to pick out than a. can buoy, a government ves- sel was anchored just inshore of each buoy. , A Rapid Run. On these were stationed the officers who make the tidal observations and add to or deduct from the indicated speed of the ship the force of the tide as it was against or with her so that the computed speed would be as made in slack weather. The assignment of * vessels to the several stations was as follows: Station 1, torpedo boat Por- , ter; station 2, navy yard tug Iwana; .station 3, revenue cutter Dallas; sta- tion 4, revenue cutter Woodbury; sta- tion 5, tug Leyden; station 6, naval transport Nina. ‘ The Iowa crossed the starting line at a. very "rapid rate at 10:06:45. She steamed through the water with‘ ap- parently more ease than her sister ships that have been tried over this course. She passed the second stakeboat at 10:33 o’clock, going at a. great rate of speed. The timeifrom the first to the second mark was 0:26:15. The vessel passedthe‘third stakeboat 24 minutes later. ' The Iowa passed. the Dallas on her return trip at 1:39:52, having made an- estimated speed of 16.50 knots per hour for the run. A Powerful Warship. The Iowa is the largest of the four completed battleships in the United States navy. The act of congress mak- ing appropriation for her construction was approved on July 19, 1892, and on Feb. 11 following the contract was awarded to the Cramps at a. contract price of $3,010,000. The vessel’s keel was laid on Aug. 5, 1893, and ,a-little over a. year ago the ship was launched. ' Her length on the load water line is 360 feet, hei- extreme beam 72 feet 2.5 inches and her normal displacement 11,- 410 tons. Her normal coal'supply is 625 tons, and her total coal capacity 1,780 tons. , The hull of the Iowa. is of steel and is ingeniously built so as to secure great strength with comparatively little weight- Of metal. ’ She carries a main battery censisting of four 12 inch and eight 8 inch breech- loading guns, a secondary battery com- posed-of six 4 inch rapid fire rifles and a. supplementary force of twenty 6 pounders, four 1 pounders and four gat- ling guns. The Iowa is the last- of the original. contract ships built by the Cramps up- on which a bonus will be paid by the government of $50,000 for every quarter" knot attained over the 16 knots require- ment; ' —No claims, no aflidavlts, but. a GAZETTE advertisement gets therej ._.; .. _..__‘....; ....... . \» A1321. C. [Io This a Gand‘d'ttc for Governor of New Ion-k State Last "Year. . VVafertown, N. Y., April 8.—Daniel G. Griffin died here today. Mr. Griffin was taken ill suddenly yesterday with an. acute attack of s.oma.ch trouble, to which he had been subject for years. rw----—-—- —— u —‘ \a”..-... - ....I .1. “-4. Daniel G. Griffin was born in Wilna, Jefferson county, in 1848. ucation was obtained in the district schools of his native town, in the Wa- tertown High school and in the acade- my at Antwerp, N. Y. Soon after leaving the academy Mr. Grifl'ln became superintendent of, city schools in VJatertown and held this place for five years. He read law in the office of Hubbard & Watts, and in 1876 was admitted to the bar. Soon aft- erward Mr. Griffin formed a law part— nership with Joseph Mullin, Jr., and the firm soon built up at large practice, having among‘ its clients the New York Central and the Rome, Watertown and Ogdensburg railway. Mr. Griffin was afterward for a, time in partnership with Wilbur F. Porter, who was nom- inated by the Democrats at Buffalo last fall for lieutenant governor, and sub- sequently for governor on the with- drawal of Mr. Thacher from the tick- et. For about, 10 years preceding 1895 ,Mr. Griffin was a member of the Demo— 'cratic state committee. He did consid- erable service for his party, and during the campaign of 1891, which resulted in the election of Roswell P. Flower as governor of this state, he gave his whole time to the work of the commit- tee. Governor Hill appointed Mr. Griffin a member of the constitutional com- mission in 1890. Mr. Griffin declined an appointment by Governor Flower as county judge of Jefferson county to fill a. vacancy. Before the meeting of the Democratic state convention. in 1895 Mr.‘ Griffin was the only person mentioned for the nomination for at- torney general, and there seemed to be no doubt of his (getting it, but he re— fused to allow his name to be presented because the committee On credentials had decided not to give the State Dc— mocracy equal privileges wi'.h the Kings coun y Democrats. . Mr. Griffin was one of the strongest Democratic opponents of Bryan in the state last fall and strongly advocated calling a. convention for the nomination of a gold Democratic state ticket. This convention met in Brooklyn on Sent. 24, and the nomination for,governor was given to Mr. Griffin. He ,was also temporary chairman Of the Indianap— olis convention which nominated Pal- mer and Buckner. Mr. Griflin’s standing as a lawyer was high. The \Veather.
