A GREAT ARMOR TEST.
VIII Take Place at Indian Head TO-
1morroY Morning.

morrow Morning.
WASHINGTON. May 16, 1894. Preparations
have been completed for the greatest armor
test thus far made by the Government, and
it is possible that the first attack upon the
maximum ship protection may be
made with the highest powered rifles
yet constructed at Indian Head tomorrow
morning, unless Commodore Sampson, Chief
of Ordinance, is detained at Pittsburg,
in which event the trials will take place on
Saturday. Two plates have been mount
ed, typical of 1,400 tens of contract
work They are both Harveyized and for
the first time the great 15-inch peacemaker
rifle will hllrl its half ton projectile
at an obstruction designed to resist
its terrible impact. The first plate
is 1S inches thick and represents the
side armor of the Indians, and upon its re-
pends the acceptance of 613 tons Of
the heaviest plates made in America.
These plates have been ready for some
time awaiting the completion of q gun
that could be expected to make an appreci-
able impression on them. With the excep-
tion of 500 pounds of hexagonal powder.
producing a muzzle velocity OF nearly 1000
1,100 pound shot will develop any
weakness existing in the plate and ordnance
officers have no doubt of the practical invul-
nerability of the Indiana, if her armor
passes SO severe an ordeal.
At the same time a 17-inch Harveyized
plate from the barbette of the battleship
Massachusetts will be attacked by
12-inch rife and upon its action under fire
will depend the acceptance Of TIA tons of
armor which it represents. If the two tests
are successful the first two battleships of the
navy will be rapidly completed.

LONDON, May 16, 1s94.-The strike of the
cabmen, though it has caused some incon-
venience to habitual car riders, has had its
compensating advantages in relieving
the normal congestion of traffic
in the centres where cabs are in
greatest demand About the railway sta

stands are almost deserted. A number
of small cab owners have agreed to
the mems terms and the service Of
these vehicles has been resumed, the
drivers showing a card upon which fair
price is printed and above which they dare
not go. Lord Shrewsbury, the largest
of the London cab owners. has
arranged terms with some of his
cabmen, but all the other large owners
and some of the snaaller ones still resisted the
demands of the cabmen. The owners have
hitherto charged cabmen from sixteen to
nineteen shilhngs per day for the use of their
cabs, according to the season.
The cabmen claim that the maximum
charge should not be above fifteen shillings,
including items which have hitherto
been charged for by the owners.
At this rate they claim they can exc

barely saved, as the fire spread SO rapidly
that the firemen had to run for their lives.
