The impregnability of the armored cruiser
New York, built at Cramps ship yard, and now
being prepared for sea, is said to have been
considerably lessened by vertical armor plates
in her turrets and barbetts, instead Of inclined
ones. as the contract calls for The builders OF
the vessel rivet on these armor plates, and be-
yond that have nothing TO do with them, it be-
ing managed in Washington by the naval ad-
visory board, who act between the contractors
and the government. The contract called for
ten inches Of solid steel in the turrets. and IL
was intended to be inclined for the purpose Of
DETECTING the shot Of the enemy. The excuse
for the change given by the board 10 that more
room would be taken up by inclined than verti-
cal armor, and that there would be less space
for gunners inside Of the turrets. The armor
is of nickel steel. manufactured by contract by
the Carnegie-Phipps works.
The New York Is being pushed as fast as pos
sible at Cramps yard, but the delay in finish
ing the steel, through strikes and other causes,
needed in other parts of the vessel will keep
her at least two years at the wharf after the
builders are through with her.

Telegraphers Want More Pay.

About thirty Baltimore and Ohio photographers,
members of the Order of Railway Telegraphers,
met in Pittsburg yesterday and will be in SEES
sion for three days, the principal objects being
to formulate new schedule Of salaries and re-
arrangement OF railroad telegraphers' working
hours the schedule to be submitted to the general
order when il assemblies in national convention
In tine latter part of September. The only
point determined yet is that the minimum
salary shall be $50 per month. The present
rate is about cent pea hour more than section
hands are paid, and when the responsibility of
the operators work is compared with that of
the section hands the difference is regarded ms
being absurd. The Order of Railway Teleg-
raphers has no special grievance against the
Baltimore and Ohio railroad. and the request
for better wages and less hours Of service will
subsequently be made to all the railroads in
North America
