NAVAL COMMITTEE REPORTS.

NAVAL COMMITTEE REPORTS.
( Concerning the Carnegie Companys Armor
Frauds-The Report Causes Discussion.
Washington, August 23-In the House,
Mr.. Cummings, Democrat, of New York,
chairman Of 1.-The committee on naval
affairs, presented privilege report from
the committee relating to the investiga-
tion of fraudss'aIleged in the manufac-
ure of iron plates to be taken from GER
tain vessels.
Mr.. Payne, Republic an, of New York,
suggested that none of the minority
members of the commit tee were present.
to which Mr.. Cummings responded the
report had the sanction of the Repub bli
can mem bers, and he was authorized
by the. committee to make the report.
C. W. Stone, Republican, of Pennsyl-
vania, said he had been informed differ
emily; but had no desire to contradict
the gentleman.
The resolution was read and Mr.. Stone
asked if anything in the report which
looked to the refunding of the lines i'm
posed on the Carnegie Company, in case
these plates furnished were up to the
standard required by the contract.
Mr.. Cummings replied the resolution
was drawn in exact consonance with
the resolution of the House directing the
committee to make the investigation,
The committee had not arrived, he said,
at a point whtre it was necessary to
know further about the plates, and that

only could be learned by the tests pro-
posed. After some further colloquy be.
tween Messrs. Stone and Cummings, the
latter asserted the sole purpose of the
report as to show the necessity for maxi
ing the test. At the request of other
gentlemen, the clerk began reading the
report, but was speedily interrupted by
Mr.. Stone, who said he didn't care to
further press the request for reading the
report. He wanted to ask the consent
that the minority of the committee, no one
of whom was present today, might be
permitted to file report in casc they
desired
sub-com mlttee were unanimous in max
ing the report, and he saidsobjected to the
request of the gentlemen.
Mr.. Cannon, publican of Illinois,
asked Mr. Cummings if the report con-
tained anything about the fining of the
Carnegie Company by President Cleve-
land. Mr. Cummings replied that was
not included in the resolution author
izing the investigation. The committee
did not refer to it.
Mr.. Stone said: 3Now, in absence of
the members OF. the minority of the sub
committee, simply ask that II they
have desire to file minority report
hereafter, they have leave to do so."
Mr.. Cummings-"Do you want the
Carnegie Company to attempt to buy
somebody to make minority reportf"
Mr.. Stone-"I want the Car negie Com
pany to have what they have not yet
had, fair play in this thing. which they
will not have if you have your way
about it.n
Mr.. Cummings -aThey had fair play.
The Carnegie Company had In its em-
ploy for two years an officer of the Unit
ed States navy, given leave of absence

cemb ber, an officer who represented the
Carnegie Company at every meeting had
by the committee on Investigation,
while the navy department was unrepre-
sented. The company had it's own stem
ographer before the committee taking
the testimony. Has the Carnegie Com
pany had fair play or not?n
you refuse accompanying your report
with the statement OF the minority of
this investigating committee"
Mr.. Mr.Cummings-"I am not authorized
by. committee. on naval affairs to ac-
cept any SUCH"
why not accept it," Mr.. Henderson,
Republican, of Illinois, said. He
hoped there would be no objection to
the condition of the resolution by ..any
member.
A minority mem ber of the committee
told him there was to be no minority re-
port.
Mr.. Stone said he desired only fair
play, and did not want to appear as an
obstructionist, and would withdraw the
opposition to the resolution. He re-
marked that he objected TO bringing in a
verdict before the testimony WAS heard.
MIR. Cummings stated the resolution is
as not based upon the testimony of what
the Carnegie Company called inform
ers," but upon admissions of Carnegie
off cials themselves.
Mr.. Stone-"A All right; nobody is OBJ
jecting to your resolution.
The resolution was agreed to, and the
report ordered printed in the Record and
as document. The committees called
for reports, and afterwards the House
adjourned.

But it is Believed the President Will Allow
the Tariff Bill to Becomea a Law

But it is Believed the President Will Allow
the Tariff Bill to Beeomea Law
Washington. August 23.-When it was
known that Speaker Crisp had seen MIR.
Cleveland today there was rush of men,
bers to the Speakers room to learn the
Presidents intention to the tariff. All
the Speaker would say was that the Presi-
dent would probably allow the bill to be-
come a law without his signature. He said
the President had not told him what he
would do, but from his general conversation
regarding the bill the Speaker made the
fore going deduction. The President, It'll
said, has not hesitated to express to some
of his callers his objections to the bill.
These objections are the same today as
when the famous letter to Chairman Wilson
was read in the, House more than month
ago. None of those who saw the President
asked whether hefwould veto the bill. The
constitutional limit on which the bill may
become operative without the Presidents
signature will be reached at midnight Mon
day.
Some of the Democratic leaders who saw
the President this morning have urged him
to sign the bill. They reported any other
course would disturb the party and be
serious handicap to them when on the
stump during the October campaign. The
President is reported to have heard these
gentlemen patiently, and shown by his re-
sponses that he was not insensible to their
arguments. In some cases they returned to
the Capitol feeling there was possibility
that the Presidents signature would be
affixed to the measure.

AUGUSTA NEWS.
Sport Loving People Want to See Base
Ball-Other Locals.
Special to the PRESS.)

Especial to the PRESS.)
Augusta, August 23.-A movement is on
foot among several of the local base ball
cranks to have series of base ball games
played here this fall. 1t is mentioned that
Portland and Bangor could play at least
three games in Augusta and that a large
number would attend the games.
Augusta has not had base ball team for
several years, and if such an arrangement
can be perfected that Bangor and Portland
may be induced to play here, there is sure
to be large crowd to attend the games.
1t is understood that favorable reply has
been received from Manager Garrity of the
Portlands. Mr.. E. E. Hutchins. the State
street druggist, is at the head of the
scheme. and says that if sufficient guarantee
can be obtained Augusta will see some good
base ball games this fall.
An Augusta man, Mr.. George e. Dunton,
has been offered position in the govern.
ment printing Office at Washington. Mr..
Dunton has been for many years superin-
tendent of electrotyping in the Allen
Publishing House in this city. He has
also contributed several articles on
electricity..to the Electrical World, ,ssand his
many friends here in Augusta think the
position that has been offered him will be a
stepping stone to something higher. This
position came to Mr.. Dunton unsolicited, SO
you can see that the fame of Maine man
extends all over the United States. He will
enter upon his duties September l.

Will Have an Opportunity to Uphold the
Honor of the State.
Biddeford. August 23.-The Infantry
rife team will have a chance to shoot
for glory early in September. The Car
son Guards of Colorado have won the
reputation of being one of the best
teams in the country at all distances
and they will be among the teams which
are to compete at Sea Girt, Nj,
against the state team The good work
of Maine marksmen has reached them
and.they have sent to Colonel Earring
ton an invitation for any ssMaine team
to meet them after the Sea Girt Ematch.
Without hesitation, Colonel Harrington
designated the Biddeford team, and the
five men who are picked to mp hold
Maine's honor are William F. Cummings,
Ed. Cram, Charles S. Scammon, Isaac
D. Adams, and Charles e. Jeffrey. 1t is
strong quintette, and the Colorado
men will have to beat their best to win
against this team.
The matchwill be rrshot sometime be-
tween September and Is. Each man
will have ten shots, and the distances
will be 200, $50, and GOO yards. 1t is not
yet known where the match will take

Saco, August 20 Charlie Welch, the
12-year-old son of Timothy Welch of
Saco, was accidentally shot in the cheek
late yesterday afternoon, and the cir
cum stances of the acc ident were most
peculiar. Miss Augusta Dearing, who
lives on Union street, went across the
street to Perley Young's, and seeing a
rev Oliver in tHe house suggested to Mr..
Young's father that they should go out
into the garden and shoot at target.
They loaded the revolver and went out,
and board in the fence was selected
as a mark. Mr.. Young looked around
and no one could be seen, and as no
houses were in range it seemed safe to
shoot He fired lone shot and then Miss
Dearing tried her hand. The bullet cut
the upper edge of the board, and must
have glanced upward or it would have
been buried in the ground in so wards,
at the angle she fred. 1t did not = into

field, an struck the boy under the apple
tree more. than 10 yards away.

close by the..station, this morning. He
was walking on the side track, and
though warned by the crossing tender,
Thomas Brown, who tried to stop him,
started across the main track in front Of
the approaching train. He was badly
cut up. No blame seems to attach to
Mr.. Brown. who, with another man,
were nearly run over in trying Ito save
him. Mr.. Springer lived in house on
Spruce street, near the railroad, and
was in the habit of walking on the
track, and had been repeatedly warned
of dangsr, and has been rescued from
approaching trains several times by
employees of the railroad. He was rather
deaf, and went about with q preoccu-
pied air, owing doubtless to business
trou bles.
Mr.. Springer was the son of John and
Susan Springer, and was born in Rich
mond, then part of Bowdoinham, Au-
gus 9, 1918. In his early life he was en-
Ii
awhile in Bath. during which time he
built for himself and others forty or
moresvessels of different sizes and rigs.
He followed that business until about
the middle of the fifties, when he gave
it up and became proprietor OF the Foun-
tain House (hotell Afterward he
bought the Richmond House. which ho-
tel he carried on with a few breaks dur
ing which it was rented to others), up
to about two years ago. when he went
to Portland and topened a hotel He
soon gave up the business there, and
this year returned to Richmond, and en-
gagged in looking after his business
affairs and settling the accounts.between
himself and the firm of l. j. Preble &
Co., of which firm he had been a mem
ber for nearly thirty years. He served
as tax collector several years, and was
chosen in 1884 as representative to the
legislature He was an ardent Republi
can, always took an activespart in poll
tics, and was for many years a member
of the Republican town committee. He
married Cynthia a Preble, who.died
Februarya2, 1885, leaving no children.

Fall River, Mass, August 2 Tonight
marks tne commencement of the great
est lockout of operatives ever known in
this city, and that implies the greatest
lockout of textile operatives in one GEN.
Manufacturers Association makes any
pretension of telling how long it will
last, for it is brought about by the low
condition Of trade and voluntary vaca-
tionn entered into by vote of 96S men,
bers Of the Weavers' Union. With the
possible exception of the Kerr Iron
Works, the Conananicut, and the Seconnet
mills, every corporation in town will re-
main closed until it is shown by vote
of three-fourths OF the spindles repre-
sented in certain agreement il shall
decide the gates may be reopened and
an opportunity offered for3 the workers
to return to their places. Thirty-four
mills are idle, employing 1880 persons,
with weekly payroll of s155, AIS. 1t is
possible the Seconnet may not be able
to run as 1t now hopes to fdo. During
this lockout the weavers will not receive
assistance from the unions, as they voted
to dispense with the benefits by voting to
take vacation, beginning last Monday.
Whether the spinners will receive bene-
fits will be determined at a meeting to be
held Monday night 1t is not probable
