BROTHERHOOD or locomotive Il
ENGINEERS ELEcTINe.

Columbus, o., June AFTER re-
peated efforts on the part of dissatis-
fed delegates to the international con-
vention Of the Brotherhood of Loco
motive Engineers was this afternoon
persuaded to rescind it's action fixing
the compensation Of delegates at $7Sa
day to be paid through the general Of
fee. The old system of paying dele
gates will remain in vogue. Under
this the subdivisions fix the compen-
sation their representatives which has
ranged from Sc to $40 a day and ex-
penses. The chief opposition to the
plan for uniform compensation came
from those engineers whose sub-di-
visions pay their delegates from s. to
$40 a day.
The election of officers was not
completed today and will be taken up
again tomorrow. Ed. Corrigan, of
Hillsboro, Tex, was elected assistant
grand chief; Harry Murray, of San
Luis Potosi, Mexico, first assistant
grand engineer and J. G. Currie Of
Jersey City, second assistant grand
engineer.
Tomorrow the committees appoint.
ed to select the next convention and
the place for headquarters will make
their reports.

NAVAL CRITICS WERE WRONG.

The shooting tests, which the naval
constructors conducted in Hampton
roads, with the monitor Florida as a
target when the monitor withstood
the shocks of five twelve pound shells
fired at a range of but a few hundred
yards without her turret being put
out of commission, not only demon
strated the value Of turret construc-
ton, as the naval authorities have
stated, but proved that the monitor, a
type of warship which naval critics
have long declared obsolete, is still a
pretty good fighting machine. While
the monitor may not be fast enough
for ocean going squadrons, the test
demonstrated that she ought to be a
good coast defender. If a test such
as was conducted in Hampton roads
proved so favorable for the monitor
it is evident that under actual warfare
conditions, where the distance from
which the shots would be fred would
be several thousand feet farther,
there would be little possibility of
putting the cessel out of commission.
In the first place there is but a small
space on the monitor to shoot at and
in the second place her Waterline is
50 10y that she would not be apt to
receive as Gripping q shot there as
the large battleships.
Once again, apparently, the naval
critics have been proved to be wrong.
Future tests will be watched with in
terest by the country at large to see
if they are as favorable to the mont
tor as have been those in which the
Florida proved such ability to with
stand the onslaughts Of an imaginary
enemy.
