Englneer-in-chief Melville has just re-

ne witnessed the trial Of the machinery OF
the armored cruiser Maine. The trial was
q preliminary one requested by the con-
tractors In order that they might receive a
portion at least Of the money which had
become due. They first asked for a full
power trial: which If successful would have
entitled them to receive the full contract
price. But the hull Of the ship is still
far from complete owing to delays In the
delivery OF armor, and the naval construc.
tor in charge reported that it would endan.
ger the vessel to apply the full 5000 horse
power to the empty hull tied to a dock,
So as compromise the trial was made
with each set of engines separately. Chief
Engineer Melville says. that so far as II
went 1t gave every evidence that the ma.
chinery would do all that was demanded
when the final trial. which must take place
at sea, comes of after the completion ,of
the ship. The actual horse power developed
by the two engines cannot be known, how
ever. until the large amount Of data col.
lected during the trial has been worked
out.
