Washington, May 2S-In the armor-
plate investigation today, Captain Samp-
son, in explaining the manner of taking
samples, said the employees of the Car
negie works took the samples and sub
jected them to machine tests. The Car
negie employees called off the results,
and the government inspector took the
figures as called off.

Chairman Cummings asked for the sci

should cost more than steel rails.
! Captain Samson said the Bethlehem
works had spent A,O00,000 on their first
plant. 1t was largely in an investment
on experiment. The making of steel
rail was a simple process; the making of
an armor plate was an intricate process
covering six months.
Chairman Cummings asked as to the
statement of Representative Coombs, OF
New York, that the first government con-
tract had paid the Carnegie company for
the cost of the plant, and yet new con
tracts were being made at the old rate
thus paying the Carnegie several times
for their plant
Captain Sampson said he thought it was
to some extent true that the more recent

tracts with the cost of the plant con

Query PuzzIinE a Tenor Singer at
the TivOIi.

San Francisco, May 2S.-The Even
ing Post prints a curious story about
Miro de La Motta, tenor singer now
filling an engagement at the Tivoli
opera house.
De La Motta is in doubt whether
he is the son of w A Collins, of Hart
ford. Conn, or John De La Motta, a
Spanish Hebrew who died in Philadel-
phia a few years ago, leaving, it is
said, a large estate.
De La Motta had always supposed
himself the son of Collins, but two
years ago in Chicago he met woman
in Chicago who convinced him that she
was his mother. She was the widow
of Silver Flint, a well known ball
player. long with the Chicago team.
Her story was that she had, when quite
young, married De La Motta, but left
him and gave her child to Collins for
adoption. When she saw her adult son
in Chicago, she recognized him, though
many years had elapsed.
Mrs. Flint accompanied De La Mot
ia to this city and died here May II.
She was once the wife of Louis Bene-

THINK SHE is A HOODOO.
Sailors superstitious About the
LydEate

New York, May 2S.-The unfortunate
ship, the Lydgate, lies at her anchorage
off the battery. Her agents have made
frantic endeavors to secure a crew for
her, so that she might make the return
voyage to Liverpool but without success.
Only a few seamen can be induced to
enlist, as the opinion is that the ship is
a ..hoodoo.'
The Lydgate is a four-masted vessel and
is almost new. When she started from
Liverpool to America she had on board
a crew that was enthusiastic over her
fine lines and general shipshape appear
ance. 1t was expected that the voyage
over would take twenty days, and some
were even sanguine enough. to believe
that it could be accomplished in a shorter
time Instead of that it took six months,
and when the Lydgate finally put into
port last week, the sailors with one ac-
cord packed up their kits, clambered over
the rails of the vessel and swore never
to- set foot on her again.
Captain Ridley, master of the vessel
says that he will sail her back If he has
to man her with green hands.

Buffalo, N Y, May 2S.-The northern
part of the city known as Kensington
is all agog over the story of elopament of
pretty Nellie Shrively and the exciting
pursuit made by her brother, Rev. Will
lam Shrively, the pastor of the Kensing-
ton NJ. E. church.
Miss Shrively lived with her brother
until Saturday She was in love with
a young carpenter named Bert Sayles,
but her brother disapproved of the match.
Saturday night, he looked out of his
study window and saw the couple making
their way rapidly up the street in the
rain. The parson opened the window and
shouted to his sister TO come back In
stead, Nellie and Bert started across the
fields, the preacher after them without
hat, coat or vest He overlook the couple
half mile from the house. Young Sayles
grappled with him and threw him down,
sat on him and cried: Run, Nellie,
run
Nellie did run, and took refuge in the
house of j. j. Warren. Then Sayles re-
leased the preacher and ran. He and
Nellie went into the house of MIR. Warren,
but when Rev. Mr.. Shrively arrived, Mr.
Warren ordered them out. Sayles refused
to go, but was forced to do so by two
policemen, leaving Nellie behind Then
Mr.. Shrively took his sister by force and
put her into Warren'S carriage which
stood in front Of the house, and made
dash for his home. Sayles ran along be-
hind the carriage and as the roads were
muddy, managed to keep up with the
horse.
When the carriage drew up in front
OF the mouse, Nellie jumped out and ran
into the house and slammed and locked
the door behind her, barring her brother
out. Then she ran to the rear door and
passed out into the stable Her brother
did not discover her escape until he had
searched the whole house In the mean
time, Sayles had joined the girl and

NO SMOKE FROM THE TUNNELS.
New Invention Saves Money and
Discomfort.

New York, May sS.-No smoke issued
from the tunnels of the Hamburg -Ameri-
can steamer Grimm as it proceeded to its
pier early Sunday morning. The boat ar
rived late Saturday night from Berlin.
It's furnaces consume all the smoke
and gases The craft is filed with fur
naces that so completely burn the, coal
and all the products of its furnace that
it requires 80 per cent. less fuel to run
it than would be required with ordinary
furnaces The Grimm was laid up for
six weeks in Hamburg before it proceeded
to Bergen and then to New York There
the old furnaces were removed and the
