Some Important Work Going on at the
Navy Yard.
VALLEJO, July 2.-The beginning of
the present fiscal year finds two import
ant jobs we'll under way at the navy yard
tho construction OF new steel tug and
the rebuilding Of the Hartford.
Mr. Baxter was glad to find there was
authority of some months' standing to
rehabilitate the sloop Adams. which has
spent the past year in rotten-row.
Shortly after she was hauled to that point
there began to be rumors of impending
trouble in the Orient. and q survey was
held on her, which resulted in ascertain-
ing that she could be fixed up inside the
20 per cent. limit, and such was recom-
mended to be done. The department,
however, by the time the report reached
Washington, had made other arrange
ments, and the necessary appropriation
was not made. Through the efforts Of
Mr.. Baxter the money was short time
ago set apart, and made available July
lst. AS q result the vessel is now
alongside the quay wall near the stone
dock, and shipwrights are sounding her
streaks, replacing with new planking
that which is found rotten. The bottom
is in good condition. having been cleaned
and attended to shortly after her arrival.
The Adams is to receive general over
hauling.
The replanking and coppering of the
Hartford's bottom is going on BOOM
ingly, and Farragups old craft is fast as
Stunning spick and span appearance-be-
low water line, at any rate. Com
mandant Howison says he can put her
we'll along toward completion as far al
the hull is concerned, if the dock be not
wanted just yet. He names the 10th
inst. as the day when she can come out.
From Captain Cotton of the Phila-
delphla it is learned that that ship will
come to the yard next Friday.

A Machine Which 1t Is Said VIII Set
$4,000 an Hour.
LONDON, July y2.-Invitations have been
issued to several hundred prominent
newspaper men to witness test trial of q
new typesetting machine, which, it is
claimed, will compose $4,000 letters an
hour-a task equal to the labor of thirty
six compositors.
The new machine Is the invention Of
the Rev. Father Colondoll, Sicilian
and q member of the Dominican Order.
The difference in speed as compared with
existing machines lies in the TACT that,
instead of the letters being made to fall
separately into the composing stick, en-
tire words can be composed III an instant
by the simultaneous application of the
fingers of both hands. 1t is in appear
ance like harp, whose cords are replaced
by metallic tubes adhering to each other
in four series.
All these tubes communicate through
an ingenious electrical device with key
board, or rather chessboard, divided into
twenty-one small squares, covered with
electrical knobs. Each letter is printed
on the little knobs. III those squares
vowels are Implicated and surround the
consonants i'll a very ingenious way,
which permits the composition Of most
syllables with a single finger in touching
two knobs at the same time: as be, bo,
bu, etc.
Practically, the skillful operator plays
the part Of pianist. who by the use of
his ten fingers is able to strike SO, 600
notes an hour. Classification" is ac-
complished by the foot of the operator,

The fleet was towed out to North
Heads this morning. The line was let 60

the first ten miles, then it increased to q
four to six knot breeze. Off Williams'
Lauding the regular summer winds,
ranging from twelve to fourteen knots,

NEW BATTLESHIPs.
Plans forAthe Three Authorized By tn
Last Congress.

EI8uS IOr1Cno I0ro0 authorized Dy the
Last Congress-.
WASHINGTON. July NAVAL Con-
structor Hitchborn has made plans for
the three new battleships authorized by
the last Congress. and as they are de-
signed radically different from the exist
ing battleships. naval officers are very
much interested, and Secretary Herbert
has devoted much personal attention to
Constructor Hitchborn's reforms. On
two points the designs agree first as to
speed. being for sixteen-knot ships. and
secondly rs to size, for they will be /, loo
tons larger than any ship in our navy,
even the big battleship Iowa. This great
size is made necessary by the heavy
armament and thick armor the ships are
to carry.
The constructors suggested the follow
ing battery: -Four Pinch rifles. mounted
in two turrets; eight S-inch guns.
mounted in four turrets, ana sixteen 5-
inch guns. The Bureau Chiefs. how
ever, decided that they would have a
main battery to consist of l3-inch guns.
1t now remains for Secretary Herbert to
say, after hearing from officers whom he
has addressed to confer with him,
whether the ships shall be on conserva-
tive or radical lines.
