CollapSeS.
WHEATDAND, Aug. 14.-Seventy acres
of hops on a trellis fell last night in John
Roddan's yard. The trellis was new and
anchored too weak to hold the immense
weight of the vines. The sound of the
falling trellis was heard several miles.
AS the hops are nearly ripe, a few hum
dred dollars will temporarily repair the
damage, and the loss of hops will not be
great. Picking in the burst yards will
commence about Friday next. The hops
on Bear River are about ten days later
this year than last. They are of first-class
quality and the yield will be good aver
age. About 400 pickers VIII be en-

CRUISER NEW YORK.
Her Armor VIII Not be as IInpregnable
as First supposed.

PHILADELPHIA, Aug. 1.-THE impreg-
inability of the armored cruiser New
York, now being prepared for sea, is said
to have been considerably lessened by
the vertical armor plates in her turrets,
or barbettes, instead of inclined, as the
contract calls for. The excuse for the
change given by the Naval Advisory
Board is that more room would be taken
up by inclined than vertical armor, and
that there would be less space TOR the
gunners inside the currents.
The New 1ork is being pushed as fast
as possible in the Cramps yard, but the
delay i'll furnishing the steel, through
strikes and other causes, will keep her at
least two years at the wharf alter the
builders are through with her.

QUEBEC, Aug. 1.-THE shortening of
the trans Atlantic passage to three days
voyage is the inducement now held out
to the Canadian Government by the pro-
motors of the new Labrador Railway
scheme. The proposal involves the estab-
lishment of an ocean steamship port st
Port Manahan. which is situated on Lewis
Inlet, about sixty miles north Of the
Straits Of Belle Isle. 1t is claimed that
the short crossing between Port Mana
han and Milford Haven, in Wales, could
be easily made in seventy-two hours by
the greyhounds now running between
New York and Liverpool.
1t is claimed by the authors of the
scheme that during the season OF naviga-
ton almost all mails between Europe and
America, as well as the bulk Of the pas
senger trade, would follow the shortest
existing route. Public interest in the
scheme was awakened in Canada by the
publication OF a report OF the survey for a
line OF railway from Quebec to Labrador.
The western connections of the projected
line would be more easily controlled by
the Northern Pacific people than by any
BODY else,
