BRICKLAYERS' STRIKE,
Navy Department Omcials Consider
ing It's Settlement.

Navy Department Officials Consider
ing It's Settlement.
Officials CT the Navy Department are
anxious that the strike shall be concluded
at once. They are DESTROYS of reaching an
amicable settlement Immediately Of the diff
ferences existing between the workmen and
the department. and late this afternoon
there was every indication that such q set
tlenent would be reached not later than
tomorrow.
Lieutenant Commander Henry McCrea,
chief of the department Of yards and docks
at the navy yard, called at the department
late this afternoon and held a conference
on the subject with Acting Secretary
Hackett and Chief Clerk Peters Com
mander McCrea stated that the bricklayers
mad called upon him at the yard and in
formed him that the union had ordered
strike, directing the imposition Of fine of
Sloo In the event the men refused to quit
work. Commander McCrea was informed
that union br1cklayers outside the yard
were being paid wages Of $3.50 day. The
wages at the yard, he stated. are only "a q
day.
After an extended discussion Of the SUBJ
Ject, Mr.. Hackett directed Commander Nc
Crea to ascertain by investigation outside
the yard just what amount of wage was
being paid to union brick masons and to
department.
1t was stated this afternoon at the de-
partment that IL Commander McCrea finds
that brick masons outside the yard are re-
ceiving $3.50 day he will recommend that
the navy yard bricklayers be paid the same
amount This recommendation, X made,
Will probably be adopted by Acting Secre-
tary Hackett.
Commander McCrea Is a member of the
board which meets every six months to de-
termine the rate Of wages paid by the de-
partment to workmen at the various navy
yards of the country. This board does not
meet until November 1 next.

THE sHAMROCK's TRIAL.
1t Was Most Satisfactory r


1t Was Most Satisfactory Per-
Torrance.
Shamrock II had her first trial spin In
lower New York bay yesterday. and al
though It only lasted ninety minutes. it
was a most satisfactory performance from
start to finish.
Sir Thomas Upton, who arrived on the
Teutonic Wednesday night, and Designer
George L. Watson, both of whom were on
board the yacht during her trial, expressed
themselves as perfectly satisfied with the
result
In sailing about eight miles dead to
windward against a two-knot tide. she
covered the distance In 81 minutes, and
the reach back Of six miles in 40 minutes.
The wind was fresh and fairly steady from
about south by east and of from ten to
twelve knots strength. The yacht carried
mainsail, working topsat, forestaysaH and
jib.
At times while on the wind she put her
lee rail under trifle, but she showed
herself well able 10 carry her sail. and
she appeared to be quite as stiff as either
the Constitution or the Columbia. Her
sails set remarkably well for the first time
out The mainsail, splendid piece OF
duck, with narrow cloths, wide seams and
first time today. It fitted to perfection,
with the exception. perhaps OF a slight
looseness in the leach, which can be reme-
died by inserting three batters, for which
pockets are already supplied. The head
sails set well. as did the jibheaded topsail
she carried
The trial was all in smooth water, ex-
cept during the last mile of windward
work, when she passed out by Coney Island
Point. There slight easterly swell made
her pitch a little, but not enough to stop
her Roadway to any extent. She makes
very little fuss under her lee bow, and
carries hardly any Quartering wave Her
wake is clean and smooth, and from OBJ
servations taken from directly astern
while she was close-hauled her sails trim
very fat and she is able to lie within four
points OF the wind with every sail full.
Many thought her pointing" was fully as
close as that of the Herreshof boats, but
The yacht Is so perfectly balanced ON
the wind that she carries neither lee nor
weather helm. her long tiller being exactly
amidships.
During the eight or ten tacls she made
to fetch from her anchorage to the buoy
at the junction OF the swash and main
ship channel, where she turned back, the
average time from full to full In stays
was about seventeen seconds. 1t was plain.
However, that Captain Sycamore was not
putting her through her best PAGES in that
direction. The crew trimmed and handled
sails with that smartness and precision
that shows experience and q thorough
knowledge of their ship.
