they should fall little short In the initial
attempts: but there is good ground for not

eions OF the compound plate; and a
verifcation Of it's results was furnished
shortly after at the Ochta Polyeon, near St.
Petersburg. In the latter trial the Brown
compound plato was declsively beaten both
by the ScHNErDKR nickel.steel and by the
vIcKERs all-steel, Just as at Annapolis the
CAMMELh plate had been beaten by the
SCHNEIDER steel and nlckel-steel. Since
BROWN and CAMMELL stand at the head Of
compound armor manufacture. although
there arc also well.known makers OF It in
France, no further demonstration on that
point was required.

the report was also In favor Of the nickel.
steel over the all.steel. During the past
twelve months on our naval proving
grounds tests OF plates OF varying degrees
OF thickness have invariably led to the same
result. Still. steel and nickel-steel appear
against each other once more in the pres
emit contest, partly In order that there may
be no doubt as to their relative merits. but
chiefly in order that each may illustrate
the advantage Of being treated By the HAR.
vEY process.
This process gives the surface of the plate
increased hardness by carbonization. 1t 10

made last January and May yielded tho
most promising results. But since the
May tests were OF armor only three inches
thick, it was deemed advisable to mako
trials with loN-inch plates. While the car

easily broken up on Its hardened surface.
tho back OF the plate is left In Its original
state in order that its tenacity may remain.
The process accordingly aims at the same
object rs the compound plate. but avoids
the liability Of the latter to have the hard
steel face torn off from the softer iron back
under the impact Of heavy projectiles.
The confidence already felt that nickel
steel treated by the HARVEY process makes
the best armor has caused 1t to be used
for the plates Of the Monterey. But the

GUS for giving a fair field in oil It's trials Of
guns and plates. 30 that the approaching
contest at Indian Head will be conducted as
II there had been no indication Of the
superiority OF any one system over the rest.
The result OF these exhaustive trials will be
to furnish an assurance that the armor
carried by American ships will at least
equal any other in the world.

TWO SPEAKERS ILL,

Many Regrets Over Mr.. Writer'S Illness
Speaker Comfy Better.
The news that Mr.. Witter was dangerous
ly i'll at his home in Dillon was received
with much sorrow by democrats and repub-
licans alike. Later in the day Lieut.. Gov.
Richards received a telegram from ex-Gov.
White that Mr.. Writer'S death was probable.
He was really i'll when he left here last
Thursday noon, though no one anticipated
serious results. The news of his approach
to death was therefore a great surprise.
Mr.. Witter was a very popular representa-
tive and was recognized rs one of the ablest
men of the house. He had enjoyed valua-
BILE experience i'll legislative work, and was
a prominent man in the republican party.
His many friends and all interested IN
good legislation earnestly hope that he
may yet stcm the tide of death and return
to the united legislature.
BY a curious coincidence Speaker Comfy
is also ill with pneumonia. He was better
last evening, and it il hoped will be able to
return to his post OF duty within a few days.
The Helena independent. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1875-1943, 1891-01-29

Perhaps am more at fault than others.
The caucus seemed somewhat shaky
about leaving the last point entirely to my
Judgment. Several of the members told
me this morning that the motion was only
put in there to stiffen my backbone and get
half of the committees if I could" If
the senator could lave carried the point he
would nave don't it, but his Judgment was
against the continuance of the deadlock
when only such a difference was in the
way.
Senator GODDARD openly expressed his dis
approval of the course pursued by these
men, and the republicans in the senate
agreed with him. The senator is entitled
TO much credit for his part in bringing
about harmony between the two houses.
Senator Thornton has likewise been ~tireless
in his efforts in this direction. Last night
both houses held caucuses. At the house the
question of temporary speakership came up
and a vote was taken, which resulted in
the choice of Il. G. Humber. The republi-
cans, when they learned of this, refused to
be bound by the democrats choice. There
after they pledged their words of honor
that they would assist in the election of a
democrat for temporary speaker. The
democrats waived this point, and then the
agreement was signed by ali members OF
the houses present. Mr.. Roberts, of Silver
Tow, added under protest" after his
Rme.
