Having Regained His Sanity He Must
Face the Charges Against Him.

NEW YORK, JAM s.-Judge Van Brunt
Of the supreme court today signed the or
der committing Edward NJ. Field to the
custody of the sheriff of this county This

to the effect that Field having been of un-
sound mind and not understanding the ma
kure of the proceedings brought against
him in March. 1892, when he was indicted
for forgery he was then committed to the
Buffalo Insane Asylum. Now, upon GER
tfication Of the superintendent of the asy-
lum that Field has regained his reason,
he will have to stand trial.

budget committee be empowered to
divide the budget into two parts aud

sinking fund In different measure.
Sir William liarcourt said that the
object OF the motion wns to revert
TO the system by which the house OF
lords would be able TO overthrow imam
oial measures emnnatlng from the
| house OF commons, This system had
already been condemned by Dlsraell
and Palmerston, and by the commit

Another reason for Sir John Lub-
books motion was to waste the time
OF the house by involving It In two
bills and in two separate statements
from the committee and In two third
readings. AZ the present time. also
there We're special reasons why the
commons should preserve absolute con-
troll OF the finances OF tho country.
Mr. Goshen and several minor CON

Quextion-Decisivc victory.

Birmingham. May 2i.--Lord Rose
berry breakfasted with the Midland
county's Liberal association at the
Grande hotel. In the course OF his
speech. the premier declared that the
government was bound to bring for
ward the measures to which II was
pledged. Joseph Chamberlain. Lord
Rosebcry said. was unable TO support
the measure, which he once advocated.
lest the home rule bill should be passed
with ihem. This was skating upon
thin Ice. and this great. ardent re-
former was obliged to sink every re-
form upon which he had set his heart
because he was unable to agree upon
the precise form which home rule
should take.
In regard to the house OF lords. the
premier said that a minister could not
announce the details OF the bill for It's
reformation until the government had
received the country's mandate.
He was a member, rather than an
ender. because he did not know Of any
machinery by which the house Of lords
could be ended.
Touching upon the Irish question.
Lord Rosebery said there were points
full of hopes for It's settlement one
was the closer union Of the Irish party
and the Liberals He felt grateful
from the bottom OF his heart for the
way in which the Irish came to the as
sistance OF the government during the
critical division. The other was the
tranquility Of Ireland AN important
factor in influencing the English In
favor OF home rule.
Lord Rosebery was loudly cheered
while passing through the streets Of
this city on his way to the railroad
station, en- route TO London.

asked Chairman Cummings.
Mr.. Dunphy answered in the afiirma-
tive. He said that one plate was pick

Of plates amounting to 34S tons. When

and that in turn passed the entire 3l3
tons of armor. Mr. Dunphy then spoke
of blow holes In the armor OF the mon
itor Terror. Experts had gone to the
navy yard and had located two blow
holes which had been filled up to de-
celve the government. Similar blow
holes existed In the armor of many
other ships, but 1t was impossible for
the experts to locate the defects, as the
ships were abroad at their stations.
That the first charge covered 700 de-
fective plates. In some cases pebbles
had been dropped into blow holes. In
others a calling card had been dropped
in. This was done by workmen as q
means OF detecting the blow holes.
Recent charges covered not only armor
plates, but the bolts and screws Sc
curing the plates In conclusion Mr..
Dunphy said: My Information Is
that the defective plates will be found
on the Oregon. the Machias. the Cas-
tine, the Monadnock, the Cincinnati,
the Terror, the New York and Monte
rey. and that the exact position Of
the plates on each of these vessels can
be located by the parties who made
the complaint and whose names the
committee will be able to obtain from
the evidence on file In the office of
the secretary of the navy. My objectI
In Offering the original resolution OF
inquiry were: First, that the govern
ment might save perhaps millions of
dollars by the discovery Of these great
frauds; and, second. II our cruisers
and battleships had plastered on their
sides or elsewhere armor plates so
defective as to lessen their effective
ness or safety that the government.
upon discovery of It, might take prop
er steps to remedy those evils and pro-
vide for the proper effectiveness and
safety OF the vessels"
He added that the defective plates

Managers of the Tariff Bill Anxious
for Action.

By Associated Press.
Washington, May 24.--The managers
of the tariff bill in the senate grew
somewhat FESTIVE today, on account Of
the delay which occurred over the tariff
bill dming the rast day or Two. There
was consultation between Senators
II II ris, Jones, Vest. Brice, Cockrell and
others, at which II was decided to
notify the Republican side that the
progress made was unsatisfactory and
that unless the bill moved along more
satisfactorily that longer hours would
inevitably result. Several Republicans
who are the beneficlaries of concessions
In the compromise, and other amend
ments to the bill, were informed that
the mea on the Democratic side, who
We're responsible for these concessions,
and who have insisted upon these be-
ing retained, would yield TO the pres
sure upon them and consent TO haV-
ing the Jones and committee amend
ments laid upon the table. This made
a number of Republicans uneasy and
they have replied that the Democrats
should Insist upon longer hours. and
1t would be shown that the Republic
cans would help make a quorum.
It was asserted that Republicans, who
are willing to have the bill move along,
could not control those who are inclined
to have the debate take the widest
possible range and this could only be
met by frightening of the hours
Senator Harris was asked tonight II
the Democrats would insist upon longer
hours, and he said 1t depended en-
ttrely upon the amount of progress
made. He was not ready to say that
such course had been determined
upon. The Democratic senators would
much prefer that the bill should 20
along without any crowding and they
hesitate to insist upon extending the
sessions longer into the evening, until
1t Is apparent that the bill cannot be
advanced sufficiently by the present
hours devoted to II,

nounced his intention of introducing
in the chamber OF deputies the ques-
ton OF the British treaties with China,
Italy and Belgium. alleging that they
are a violation OF French rights and
existing treaties. The Temps says
that 1t is not so much the Anglo
Congo treaty as the fact that England
wishes to establish buffer state be-
tween the eventual possessions of
France and Great Britain in Central
Africa. following the example Of the
siamcse buner state. There is also
danger that Ireland win ultimately
absorb the upper Nile region.
