ENGLAND BEATEN ON STEEL.
No Necessity to go Abroad for Ordnance
and for ArmOr Plate.


WASHINGTON, Dec. 16.-The committee
appointed by the last Congress to inquire
into the steel-producing capacity of the
works of the United States will be pre-
pared to report soon after the Christmas
recess. The report will present an ex.
haustiye review of this important branch
Of metallurgical industry and VIII also
give an exhibit of the capacity Of the
works and the character of product with
special reference to the Manufacture of
ordnance and armor-plates. The result
Of the inquiry shows that the steel works
of the United States produce better
quality of equal grade than is produced
by the most celebrated works of England
and Germany. and therefore tnere is no
occasion TO consider the feature of de-
pendence on any outside country Tor the
supply OF this class Of material for gov.
eminent use.
An important feature OF the report will
be the formulation o. plan hy means of
which the government would bo in c0nd-
ton to manufacture its own ordnance.
The subject OF national foundry viii
also be considered. The riyalriee Of sec
tons, it is feared, however, would stand
in the way Of any very prompt action by
Congress on thispoint. All things con
sidered, the members OF the comm ttee
recognize the superior advantages Of
philadelphia for location. but Boston is n
formidable rival in quality OF material.
The House committee consists Of Randall,
Hewitt, lIiscOck, Phelps and Reed.

ject, OF which Senator Hawley Is chair
man, expects TO be ready 10 report about

CREAM AS A FIRE EXTIN-
GUISH Err.
n Curious Case In RockIand County
that will Interest Insurance Men.


From the Neto Fork Sun.
"Fires that have threatened the de-
struction of life and property are often
extinguished accidentally" said Mr..
John X. Oakley, well-knOwn insurance
adiuster of this city; ''but the strangest
incident of the kind ] ever heard OF was
one with which had to do professional
ly. Up in ROckland county is an old
wooden farmhouse. The kitchen part is
certainly 100 years old. In the kitchen is
big fireplace, in which man can stand
upright. over this fireplace was a wood
en- mantel. The mantel was, of course,
as dry as chip; so was the floor in front
of the freplace.
The other morning when the farmer
went down into the kitchen to build the
fire as usual, he nearly fell into a black
chasm in front OF the fireplace. When he
recovered from his surprise, he found that
the mantelpiece was half burned away;
that the floor in front of the fireplace had
been burned, and that the sleepers on
which the floor rested had been burned
nearly in two. Most astonishing of all,
the fire had entirely gone out. There was
not spark smoulderlng anywhere.

bricks OF the chimney rested. The back
Of the beam was flush with the fue Of the

brands from the mantel dropped to the
floor and set that on fire. SO much for the
cause OF the cOnfiagration. The hard
question remained. Why had the fire
gone out when it was feeding on such
well-seasoned materialI Here's my an
swer:
Before going to bed the night before the
fire, the farmers wife drew close to the
| fireplace, in which the fire was well COW
cred, an old cherry table, and on it placed
large crock of cream in order that the
heat might hasten its souring before it
was churned. The fire caught in the
legs of the table, burned them off, the
crock fell, the cream ran over the floor
| like oil and smothered the fire as though
a blanket had fallen on it. The cream
