RERLIN. May l9.-Despite the riotous
scenes among the miners delegates at
different times the international Congress
has shown that the miners Of all nations
are nearer union I'm thought ana actloh

pacity to understand the continent poiut

Those in the Battle-ship Texas Given a
Successful Dock Trial.


WASHINGTON, May l9.-The trial
board which conducted the dock trial
of the battle-ship Texas at the Norfolk
navy-yard has practically completed its
report. and as soon as few technical
calculations are worked out IL VIII be
submitted to Acting Secretary McAdoo.
The report will show that on the whole
the machinery Of the Texas, which was
constructed by the Richmond Locomotive
Works. performed very credltably ana
showed excellent workmanship. The pur-
pose Of the trial was not primarily 70 ue-
velop horse power. but to ascertain the
ability of the engines to work OH steam
and to operate smoothly. but It Gratihed
the board To find that the machinery,
which was designed for 3,400-horse power
actually indicated 400. The screws ran
at S5S revolutions while the vessel was
tied up TO the dock. which IS a suf1clent
indication that when the ship Is running
free the speed will be above the l23 revo-
lutions calculated upon by the designers
Mr. Joseph McMakin has Just returned
from Norfolk. where he has been Tor the
past month i'm the employ of the Rich
mond Locomotive and Machine works
engaged in preparing the Texas for her
dock trial Speaking Of the trial he said
II was made at the dock. and was for
the purpose Of determining whether the
machinery was sufficiently strong to stand
the strain which would come upon 1t IN
a trial at sea under full power when
trying to meet the requirements Of the
contract Mr. McMakln stated that every
thing worked well for a new enSine, and
that the results more than came mp 10
the Navy Departments requirements.
1t is worthy Of note that the engines
of the Texas are the first ENGINES for a
mau-of-war built in the South since tho
war, the Merrimac's having been built
there before the war by the Tredegar
