ARMOR-PLATE SCANDAL.
The Report of the House Investf-
eating Committee.

Representative Amos J. Cummings, Chai--
man of the House Committee on Naval At
fairs, presented to the House at Washing
ton, the preliminary report upon the investi-
cation of the armor-plate and bolts fur
nished to the Government by the Carnegie
Steel Company, Homestead, Penn. The In
vestigatior has been in progress for several
weeks, ard during its course testimony has
been given by the principal officers of the
Carnegie Company, by workmen, and by
Government officers. The report is COM
plete review of the case.
The committee finds that the charges OF
fraud have been sustained. condemns the
company severely, and recommends that f1f-
ty-nine suspected plates in use should be
tested, as the only method of proving their
fitness OR unfitness. 1t also finds that the
Government inspection was negligent and
defective. but no charge of dishonesty rests
uponthe inspectors.
The charge, that false reports Of treat
ment of plates were systematically made,
the committee holds, is proved by the rough
records Of the company itself of over seven
hundred plates and lots Of bolts which came
into the hands of the Navy Department.
The records examined show that the
figures in the reports were almost In
variably changed, and in some cases
entirely new reports were returned. There
were "fake" reports of treatment Of plates
that received no treatment whatever, says
the report, and over ninety-fve per cent. of
the records show similar changes which were
evidently made for the purpose OF deceiving
Government inspectors. The reports were
made to make it appear that the plates had
received the uniform and efficient treatment
required by the contract.
The report shows that the contract with
the company covered a period of two years
and three months, from November, 1890, to
FEBRUARY, 1893. The amount of armor plate
contracted for was 1918 tons, costing $5.

Extfrnat1nc Peach YeiIows.

The "peach yellows'' commission, ap-
pointed by the last Legislature to visit every
orchard in Connecticut and destroy, root
and branch, with axe or fire, every tree in
fected with the yellows, has completed just
about half its work. The Commissioners
are six in number, and their pay is $5 a day.
They began their task about the middle OF
July, and must end it on September 1. The
Commissioners have done the work in the
most painstaking way. In searching for
diseased trees they penetrate even into city
doorYards and examine all fruit for sale at
stores or street stands. The main tokens Of
the yellows in a tree are a short, yellow,
sprouty growth and a prematur, ripeninG
on the part of its fruit The malady Is con-
tagious, and it has almost completely wiped
out the peach-growing industry in Con-
neoticut. Owing, perhaps, 20 considerable
unofficial work OF the kind done last year,
the Commissioners thought that the num-
Der of trees that it is necessary to extirpate
is considerably smaller than was anticipated.
The percentage of diseased trees. Chief
Commissioner Hubbard said is five per
cent, as against ten per cent. last season.
The disease is far more prevalent ia old
than in new orchards, sometimes amounting
to twenty-five per cent. of all the trees
there. The Commissioners have arbitrary
powers. The penalty of opposing them
about their work ranges from $50 to 800 in
fines, with or without Imprisonment.

ade in Washington. The parade assembled
at Camp Washington on the monument
grounds at o'clock and marched up Seven
teenth street to Pennsylvania avenue, where
the procession turned and marched in review
past President Cleveland. A small stand,
decorated appropriately, had been erected
in front of the White House, and on this the
President stood during the entire time oc-
cupied by the procession in passing. Mr..
Cleveland, accompanied by Colonel g; A:
Kahlo, Major-General Carnahan's Chief OF
Staff in full uniform, and Colonel John M.
Wilson, United States Army, the Com
missioner of Public Buildings and
Grounds, walked through the White House
grounds to the stand amid continuous ap-
plause, and as he came in view of the thou
sands assembled at that point a great cheer
went up, to which he responded by dofnng
his hat. Following his custom, the Presl,
dent reserved his salutes for the Natlonal

A CYCLONE OF DEATH.
IT SWEEPS ACROSS THE SEA
OF AZ0V.

The First Estimate Was That Nearly
1OOOPeople Had Perished-Amer-
leans I'm Peril-WhoIe Villages
Destroyed - Russian Fishermen
Drowned.
A hurricane In the Sea of Azov wrecked
many steamers and caused much destruc-
ton and loss of life.
A special cable from st. Petersburg, Rus
sia says: wind of death. No other name
can describe the cyclone that swept across
the Sea OF Azov.
It is almost certain that at least 1000 people
have perished, some by drowning, others by
being crushed under falling buses and trees.
The excitement Is very great among the
American colony for 1t is feared that at least
two parties of American touriats were on the
Sea of Azov at the time the wind did its
deadly work.
The wind was first felt at Nogaisk. No.
gaisk Is peopled mostly by fishermen, who
were out on the water. When the hurri-
cane had swept out to the north terri
Ole scene was presented. The village was
razed, overturned as If an immense
plow had been pushed through ii.
Lying everywhere were women and children,
dead or in the last agonies Of death. The
shallow waters of tho Sea of Azov were
leshed to such height that it was plain that
every fishing boat must have been sunk.
The cyclone swept on to the northeast
after wrecking Nogaisk. Its path seems to
have been unusually wide, for at Marinopal
1t devastated the country to point eleven
miles inland, and had its outer edge far upon
the sea. Marinopal was practically blotted
out Of existence. Not three houses In a hun
dred are left standing. It is estimated that
over two hundred perished in this town alone.
North Of M&rinopal the storm seems to
have made sudden turn to the eastward
over Dolgapoint, its left edge inficting
slight damage to the town of Berdimsk.
Houses there were unroofed and q dozen
persons were killed by falling timbers. Once
at sea the storm made its full fury felt.
OF the steamers that touch at the port Of
Berdimsk, not one had come in at the hour
of the latest report. Grave fears are ex-
pressed that every craft on the sea has gone
to the bottom and that every passenger Is
drowned.
In turn Fisk and Achuev were ravaged,
each town being almost totally destroyed.
Telegraphic CON munication with this dis
trict Is suspended and it Is impossible to
learn the extent of the destruction, but at
least 1000 persons must have died on the two
shores.
The Sea of Azov is in the extreme south
ern part of Russia. 1t is separated from the
Black Sea by the island of Crimea. 1t is not
more than about one-tWelfth the size of the
Black Sea, of which it forms tho northern
subdivision. 1t Is connected with 1t by the
Strait of Yewikale. Its length is about 200
miles, its average breadth about eighty
miles; its entire area $4,000 miles.
