Preliminary Report of the Investigation
Has Been Made.

Preliminary Report of the Investigation
Has Been Made.
The House committee to investigate the
Carnegie armor plate will give hearing to-
day to Superintendent Carey, of the Home
stead works. The company has asked to
have the superintendent recalled to explain
some of the testimony given by Commander
Sampson on his last appearance as a witness.
A preliminary report of the investigation
will soon be made by Chat rman Cummings.
the first draft Of which was read to the COM
mittee yesterday.
The report will say that some frauds in car
rying out the Specifications for preparing the
armor plate have been shown by the testi-
mony, but that the effect OF the deviatIons
from the specifications cannot be accurately
told. l. will recommend trial of plates
from different groups which have been fur
nished the government as the only way to
determine whether the armor plate b as not
the requirements Of the contracts, and will
ask for an appropriation to make the tests.
A suggestion may be made that the govern
ment pay for those plates which may pass the
tests satisfactorily, and that the Carnegie
Company pay the costs for trials OF plates
which fail.
Until these trials have been made the COM
mittee will not make It's final report, so that
will not be forthcoming until the next session
of Congress

Senators Defeat the Spiders in a Game
Full of Interest.
When twilight came last evening the Sem
ators and Spiders were still battling for su-
premacy, the former having the best Of the
game by one run. The locals were as slow in
getting to play in the eighth as the Cleve-
landites were eager. 1t was quite dark, but
the resolute Timothy Hurst could see and
he made the others see and the Washingtops
having been retired forthwith went at the
Spiders. and not visitor reached first base.
Then did the redoubtable Hurst call tine game,
and P. O. Tebeau called out to Manager
Schmelz to start the games earlier hereafter.
Bad base running by Cleveland lost the
game for the Spiders. There was plenty Of
hitting, good fielding, and the errors were OF
the rankest kind. Shiebeck showed how easy
a baseball player can slip up on a sure thing,
when he dropped McAleer's fly in the fourth
inning. The batter did not run, but as the
ball fell out of the players hands, he started
for first. With plenty of time ShieDeck picked
up the ball and sent it way over Cartwright's
head, McAleer reaching second.
joyce had his eve on the ball, hitting out OF
the diamond at one time and at another he
beat out a bunt. Ex-senator George Tebeau
made a triple and two singles and covered
first in way that would make Tommy
Tucker envious. Hassamer made a sensa-
tional catch and was roundly applauded.
The home team did not score until the third
inning when they made three runs on Shie-
beck's base on balls. singles by Joyce ana Nc
CURE, put out. and wild throw by Nc
Kean. They kept up the good work in the
fourth. when Radtords single. a force out. "A
triple by Joyce, and Hassamer's single scored
two runs. Another was made in the fifth on
McKean's error and Cartwright's long double
to left center. Joyce's single and Hassamer's
double in the sixth earned a run.
The Spiders began spinning in the second,
scoring one run on McGarr's double and Nc
Aleer's single. In the fourth they added three
more on q. Tebeau's triple. Shiebeck's double.
