THOSE ARMOR PLATE FRAUDS.
AR. Duuphy Urges a Full and Immediate
lnyestieation.

lnyestigation.
WASHINGTON, May 1S.-Representa-
tive Dunphy, Of New York, had hear
ing to-day before the House Rules Com
mittee on his resolution TO investigate
naval arDor plate frauds. He went
into detail OF the frauds to show the
committee the deSrsbility OF probing
the matter TO the bottom. Mr.. Dunphy
said that the frauds for which
the government had already
assessed the Carnegie Company
sI4O, 600 occurred between November,
1892, aud September, 1898. The same
class OF evidence, ne said, showed that
similar Irregularities occurred prior to
November, 1892, and subsequent TO
September. 1893. II vas further urged
that the investigation now making oy
the officers Of the Navy Department
would be futile, as there was no power
10 summon witnesses or 10 administer
osthS 20 those who voluntarily appear
ed. Mr.. Dunphy had statistics show
ing that 81, 200. 900 would soon fall due
to the Carnegie Company. The pay
ment could not be delayed, aud If once
made ia would cut of an investigation
and destroy all means OF redress.
Speaker Crisp and his associates on
the committee questioned Mr.. Dunphy
on the details Of the alleged frauds. He
specified one instance in which an ar
NOR plate on the Monterey is said to
contain a blow hole eighteen inches
long. The man who saw the blow hole
when the armor was cast dropped his
card into the hole aud is said TO be ready
TO locate the defective plate and identity
IL by his card. The committee took no
action. bat Mr.. Dunphy believes they
will report back the resolution with the
recommendation that the Naval Com
mittee start the einveStigation al once.

RocuE's POINT, Ireland, July 24.-The
Vigilant and Britannia started race
again this morning for cup offered by
the ROYAL Yacht Club, of Cork, valued
at 100 guineas. Tho cruise sailed over
was the same as that in yesterdays race,
fifty miles, the finish being in front OF
the club house. Tho weather was
cloudy and occasionally rain fell and
what little breeze there was blew lightly
from tho northeast.
The yachts crossed tho limo almoss
together at lO:30:02, tho Britannia
having q noso the best of it as far ns L
lead vas concerned, but thu Nigilant
seized tho weather berth and this offset
her Slight disadvantage. The Britain
mia, after going half the distance to the
first mark, ran under tho stern of the
Vigilant and got tho weather berth.
The Vigilast, however. was the frst OF
tho yachts to turn the mark a. Poor
head with a lead Of 40 seconds. She
steadily increased her lead throughout
the race and finished four minutes aud
IS seconds ahead of the cutter. The
corrected time of tho Vigilants victory
is three minutes and three seconds.
Tho Vigilant, while sailing free on
the last round between Poorhead and
Daunt's Rock, broke the j,ws Of nor
