Battleship Iowa Preparing For, Her
Official Trial Trip.
TEE PRELIMINARY TESTS.
Nearly Sixteen Knots an Hour Attained
Under Ordinary Conditions—A Slight
Accident In New York Harbor.
‘Vliere the Test \Vill Be Made.
New York, April 1.—-The' battleship
Iowa, bound for her official trial trip off
the New England coast, reached the
Brooklyn navy yard today after a. suc-
cessful run from Philadelphia. She
will be put in drydock for a few finish-
ing touches to make her trim and fit
for the speed_test between Cape Ann,
Mass, and Cape Porpoise, Me., next
week. The contract speed requirement
is for 16 knots, with a. bonus 'of $50,000
to her builders, the Messrs. Cramp, for
every quarter knot in excess of that fig—'
ure. If her behavior on the run from
Philadelphia be any indication of her
powers, she will exceed the stipulated
speed and earn a handsome premium
V.—
THE BATTLESHIP IOWA.
for her makers. This is the last of the
warships for which such a. bonus will
be offered. The Iowa had three runs
between the lightships off the five
fathom bank. This is a distance :of
11.125 knots, and the trials were made
under forced draft with ordinary coal.
The speed attained on the first and sec-
ond legs was 15.30 knots an hour,'but
on the third she spurted up to 15.75. The
revolutions of the screw were 104 under
a steam pressure of 140 pounds and the
maximum indicated horsepower 11,000,
with 110 revolutions".
There was a light southwesterly breeze
during the trials, but the sea was smooth
and there was no vibration whatever.
Captain Sargent, who navigated the
ship, and Superintending Engineer Ed-
win S. Cramp, who exercised general
supervision, were entirely satisfied with
this performance and are confident that
the Iowa will make a record on her of-
ficial trial. It had been anticipated that
tests would be made looking to an al-
teration in the pitch of the screws, but
everything worked so smoothly that it
was decided to make no change.
A Seagoing Battleship.
The Iowa, which is the first of the
new navy’s seagoing fighters, left her
pier at Cramp’s shipyard, Philadelphia,
at 7 o’clock Monday morning and steam—
ed slowly down the river, the chart dot-
ting the stream bidding her a shrill
parting salute. The usual difficulty of
getting over the shoals near Reedy is—
land involved a delay until 6 o’clock in
the evening, and the intervening time
was utilized in the adjustment of the;
compasses. She anchored at the Brown
shoals, five miles inside the capes, at 11,
o’clock Monday night, and at 6 the next
morning weighed anchor and pointed
her nose to sea. The capes were round-
ed a half hour later, and the Iowa made
for the southwest lightship off the five
fathom bank.
The morning was consumed by the
speed tests, and at 12:15 o’clock she
headed up the coast, doing a steady 14.
knots all the way to Sandy Hook,
which was reached at 6:30 o’clock last
evening. Here a pilot was taken aboard
and the Iowa entered the harbor.
About two-thirds of the way up the
main channel and just outside the Nar-
rows the‘first difficulty of the trip was
encountered, and that was a trifling
one. The Iowa’s starboard bow struck
can buoy N0. 6 a glancing blow, and
the anchor chain of the buoy became
entangled in the propeller blades. It
took an hour’s work to get the buoy
free and then she was cast adrift. No
damage was done to the Iowa. At 11
o'clock last night the ship was an-
chored off Tompkinsville, and to-
day she passed up the East river and
harbored at the navy yard. As the big
warship steamed up the stream she re-
ceived a worthy greeting. Every boat
on the river saluted her, but the first to
greet ‘her were her sister ships. the
Indiana and Massachusetts, which were
lying oft' Tompkinsville.
Plans For the Official Trial.
The Iowa acknowledged their greet-
ing with a half dozen walls of her siren.
At the navy yard she anchored beside
the cruiser New York, which was hav-
ing muster, and as the Iowa was being
made fast the band of the New York
played "The Star Spangled Banner."
The work of scraping her bottom and
painting her will be promptly begun.
This will probably occupy until Satur-
day, and at 2 o’clock on the afternoon
of that day she will steam for Boston.
The trip around will be made by a
party of government officials, who will
board her here, and the official trial
board will convene ins Boston, where
she is due on Sunday night. _On Mon-
day she will steam over‘ the Course to
'see that the buoys are properly placed
and the vessels marking the course
are in position, and then she will return
to Boston harbor. Tuesday Will be de-
voted to a. general cleaning up of ma-
chinery and boilers, and the trial will
be held on Wednesday. Throughout
the trip from Philad lphia the weather
was perfect and, the [$.a smooth. There

A Fire Island Bill.
Albany, April 1.—Senator McNulty
(Dem., Kings) introduced a bill in the
senate today to. make Fire island the
site of the state camp of the national
guard. The bill carries an appropria-
tion of $25,000, to be used by the adju-
tant general in making the necessary
equipments for the island for camp pur-
poses. It is hardly probable that it will
receive favorable attention.

The correspondent of The Daily

“A thousand reservists reached V010 to-
day. This is extremely important, as I
am confident that the national society

held here this afternoon sent a deputa-
tion to welcome Prince Constantine and
tell him that: the whole population hopes
for an immediate advance. The crown
prince thanked them for their loyal de-
votion, said he was profoundly touched
by the boundless enthusiasm and added:
‘I am confident'that if the cruel neces-
sity of war should arise we shall all be
ready to do our duty for our country.
Let us still hope, however, that peace
will crown our just and patriotic am-
bitions. In the meanwhile let us feel

king and the legal authorities, who will,
