J. The old postmaster, Samuel Haag, retired
from the Office Saturday evening, and Sun

THE NICKEL-sTEEL ALLOY.
The Naval Experts to Give the New Com
pound II Thorough Test.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Oct. 3d. Spc-
iall-The Navy Department is moving
with great circumspection in the matter
of adopting nickcl-steel armor for it's
vessels. The Annapolis tests appeared
to be conclusive as to the merits Of the
particular nickel-stccl plate by compar-
ison with all-steel and compound plates.
But tho ordinance bureau has not yet
been entirely convinced that it should
proceed at once to adopt the alloyed
plates as standard.
The plate which was tested was of
foreign manufacture, and it may be that
even II an adequate supply of nickel is
obtained. domestic manufacturers can
not succeed i'll making an alloyed plate
that will equal in resisting power the
plate tried at Annapolis. 1t may be
that if the successful process is discov-
cred, the manufacture will be inordi-
natcly expensive. These matters must
be determined by experiment. and Com
modore Folgcr, chief of the ordinance
bureau, says that it will require several
months time to ascertain the result.
Incidentally, experiments which the
bureau will undertake will be directed
to an aSccrtainmcnt of the value of the
nickcl-stccl alloy for strengthening
