Secretary Tracy has notified Crnmp.
The contractor for building the Balti-
more, that the vessel may have another
trial. The conditions have not becl
made public, but it is said they do not
wholly agree with those proposed by
William Cramp in his conference with the
Secretary.
An order has been sent to San Fran
cisco from the navy deparlmcn, recon-
ycning the board which snpcrintcnded
the recent official trial of the "Charles
ton," built by the Union iron Works
company of that city. In the report
upon the trial, the board, after stating
that the vessel had been constructed in
accordance with the contract, said that
certain changes and improvements ought
to be made. This ambiguity, Secretary
Tracy wants the board 10 explain, and
mas asked Commodore Rcnhan to call the
board together for that purpose. The
order reconvening, the board does not
contemplate another trial of the Char
lesion.
