here today on her four-hour endurance
test in which she is required to aver.

in which water consumption data will
be obtained. The windup of the build.

ing which the trial board will observe
the workings Of combination coal and
oil fuel.
The ship is expected to arrive at
Philadelphia next Tuesday and will be

inside of the month. She will probably
be placed in commission by Aug. Is.

The fastest mile made by her sister
ship, the Arkansas, was 21.5. Through
the top speed runs the Wyoming aver
aged 1898 on her five fastest miles, as
against 21.153 for the Arkansas.
This record is attributed to the Ions

equipped the Wyoming. These propel
lers have larger diameter by -four
inches.
A still better showing would have
been made but for trouble In the en-
gine rooms, as acknowledged by the
shipbuilders shortly after the ships
arrival. The firemen are alleged t1

acter of the food with which they
were being served.
Their demands were adjusted and
with the trial at its height demand
for increased wages is said to have
been made. Failure to accede to this
demand was followed, 1t is claimed, by
