DEMOCRATS CAUCUS,
But Succeed in Reaching No Con-
CIusion on the Bill.

WASHINGTON, July 24.-The Democrats
of the Senate to-day met behind closed
doors for the purpose OF settling their
differences on the tariff and trying to
reach an amicable understanding. A pro-
gramme was arranged for caucus, and
accordingly at o'clock the Senate ad-
journed and the Democratic members
walked into the marble room and closed
the doors. Senators Hill. Murphy and
Irby were the only Democrats present at
the Capitol who did not respond to she
csucus call. Senator Hill was not notified
Of the intention to hold a caucus until The
last minute and then declined to enter it
because OF his attitude on the bill SEN
ator Irby left the Capitol without giving
any explanation of his absence. Senator
Murphy went away pleading an en-
gagement
The caucus continued for three hours,
and, without reaching any conclusion or
taking a vote on any proposition. ad-
jouIned until tomorrow al o'clock, when
another meeting will be held. The dis
cusslon of some points was very warm and
especially just before adjournment, when
Sen ator Villas was speaking. Several Ssn-
ators interrupted him with questions and
criticized the course be was pursuing in
the Senate. This called forth equally tart
replies from the Wisconsin Senator, and
there was prospect of the debate coming
more personal when, upon The suggestion
of Senator German, the adjournment took
place.
The caucus merely served to emphasize
the two facts that Democratic Senators
are all anxious to pass a tariff bill and
that there are still wide differences as TO
the kind OF bill they can pass. 1t was
recognized from the beginning that Sena-
tor Villas motion to strike out The differ
eniial duty on sugar occupied a most
important position i'm the present cOntro-
versy, and several Senators intimated that
until there could be assurances of with
drawal no conclusion could be reached in
caucus.
Senators Blanchard and Gallery of
Louisiana were both conspicuous in the
caucus proceedings. Instead of showing
any disposition to yield the sugar differen-
tial they asked that the conferences COM
mittee be asked to retain that feature and
30 per cent ad valorem and to add the one
tenth of a cent additional on sugar i'm
ported from countries paying bounty on
sugar, and also qto continue for this year
enough OF the bounty paid under the Nc
Kinley law on sugar grown in this country
to make the duty equal to cents pound.
The Louisiana men reminded the caucus
of the result of the last conference. and
demanded that The agreement then made
be lived up to.

stated that hs considered Mr.. Villas mo-

motion might be changed so as to render

PENALTY TOO HEAVY.
Prick Tells His Side of the
Story.
There Had Been No Armor.PIate
Frauds of Which He Was
CogniZant.

WASHINGTON. July 24.-Chairman Frick
of The Carnegie Steel Company was before
the Naval Committee in the armor-plate
investigation to-day. Frick asserted that
while the company's output in 1898 was
more than 100000 tons. only 5000 tons
was armOr plate. He left the details en-
tirely to Superin tendent Hunsicker.
Frick regarded the penalty levied by the
Navy Department as exorbitant. and ap-
pealed to the President as he was per-
nit ed to do under the law. He consid-
cred the Presidents decision unjust.
Frick said Informer Craig came to him
before he information was given out, in
timating that a conspiracy was on foot.
Also of a visit from an unknown elderly
lady, who intimated that for money she
would give valuable information. IF the
Government inspectors had done their
duty there would have been no trouble. :"
said he. Il knew they were there 10 see
the work properly done and depended or
them" Frick did not ind0rSe the conduct
# his men in deceivng the inspectors.
Since taking the armor plate contracts the
company had invested 100000 IN the
plant and had never refused to buy any
mach merry that was recommended as
necessary.
Willard Hunsicker, assistant to Chair
man Frick, and who has been in charge OF
The armor plate departments, testified
that he had no personal knowledge OF the
frauds. Mr.. Hunsicker furnished state
ment of the humble of armOr plates made
from the bennning of the old contract, in
Decem Der, 1889, to June L. 1894. This
showed total of 1906 plates, Of which 9O5
were shipped, 1913 condemned and 448 on
hand. OF the 905 shipped, 662 were regu-
lar armor plates and the remainder were
small plates. Most of the plates con-
demned had been condemned by the &C
ton of the company itself.

Mr.. ArkeIl Comes to the Defense of
the President


BALTIMORE, Md. July 24.-Qusen Anne
County. the stronghold of AarylaDd's
Democracy, the native county of Senator
Gibson. and formerly firm supporter OF
Senator German. to-day in convention gave
The Maryland Senator hard slap. The
convention held to elect delegates to the
District Congressional convention adopted
resolutions demanding that the nominee
of the district shall accord President Cleve-
land his full support and shall be SOUND
on tariff reform, as the people are not DIS
posed TO tolerate nominees who will not
actively support true Democratic princl-
Piles.
Under the caption. How the truth is

Tie charges against the President. the hints
and innuendoes which have been made ID the
Senate are all the more dastardy because his
position scarcely permits him 10 protect him.
self. 1t will not do for the President OF the
United States TO handy words with Senators.
Ii is just as well to state a few facts as they
are given by those who are intimate with
the circumstances. One day last week
a personal friend OF Senator German asked
the President TO send for Senator German and
was his conviction that such an Interview
would go far toward settling the tariff dead
lock. The gentleman who made this request of
the President was so close 10 Mr.. German that
he had every right 10 believe the request came
from the Senator himself. After some hesta.
ton Mr.. Cleveland wrote note to Mr.. German
asking him to come and see him, and Mr.. Cor
man came. The interview instead of being
stormy, as was asserted, was as calm and quiet
as possible.
The services of German in declaring that
nothing but sudden death would prevent bis
making his speech against the President did
not occur. The President did not request him
not to make The speech. nor did the Senator
give the President any idea of the character of
the speech he was going to make, telling him
only that he was going TO make brief state
ment of facts. No one was more surprised at
the tenor OF the speech than Mr.. Cleveland.
But more than anything else, the President
was as onished at the conduct of the Senators
upon whom German called for confederation.
In their remarks in the Senate they sought TO
make it appear that the President had
abandoned his advocacy of free iron
and coal. Whatever was done by the Presi-
dent in this connection was done at the ear.
nest solicit alton of the Senators named. Mr..
Cleveland did not y so much stress upon the
form of the bill as IL passed the Senate. He
was assured and he believed defects would be
cured in the Conference Committee. 1t was the
Presidents earnest desire all along to & the
bill away from the Senate, where there was
danger that It would be thro tied, and into the
Conference Committee, and 10 assist il this he
was urged by the corroboratlng Senators. The
astonishmeut Of the President, therefore, can
be imagined when the Senators tried upon the
floor Of the Senate TO have 1t appear that he

lore the Senate sugar trust investigation
committee to-day. While not member
OF the firm of Wheeler q Co., be acts as
the personal representative of Mr.. Gull
leraud OF that firm in his absence. and 1t Is
understood that his testimony snbstan-
tisted that given By Mr.. Guileraud when
before the committee and that it related to
an order for sugar stocks alleged to have
been given by Senator Camden.
The members unite in saying that the
testimony is important and that II they are
able to complete it on the lines which they
are following the result will be either TO
fasten the charges or bring them to
point where their falsity can be estab-
llshed. The chain, however, will be in
complete SO long as the committee falls to
ind one witness for whom search Is max
ing. This witness is said to be Samuel B.
Battonsham, who formerly represented
the New York firm of Seymour, Young q
Co. In this city. Witnesses who have so
far been examined have Damed Baton
sham as the man who at one time had In
his possession orders from Sen atOrs for
the purchase of sugar stock. The COM
mittee regard his disappearance at this
time as significant. His absence is also
delaying the final contamination of the
committees work.
Senator Camden was to-day asked if he
desired to make any statement concerning
the reports in the newspapers to the effect
that the testimony had involved his name
in sugar speculation He replied that be
would defer any statement that he might
have to make until he could have an OPP
p0rtunlty to see the testimony.
Many rumOrs were reported from the
committee dnring the afternoon to the
effect that they were on the trail of i'm
portant discoveries. Membe of the CON-
mittee would not deny these rumors and
some acknowledged that they consider the
recent developments of Importance and
said the fact that the proceedings had not
been public gave them ceWs that they
might not have been able to obtain other
wise. 1t is acknowledged that Battersham
is the missing witness so much desired,
and the lines Of the new evidence will be
determined more definitely when he is
found. One of the persistent rumors that
was In circulation was that the committee
had obtained a copy of an alleged order
for sugar stock, signed by Senator, and
that this order purported to have been
given before the Senator testified before
the committee that he had no dealings in
sugar. This was repeated to a member of
the committee, who said he had no way OF
telling how such information got out of
the committee. and all that he could say
was that testimony had been discovered
which will call for great deal of ex-
PLANTATION, and further that it would be
unfair to the accused to publish any
testimony until he had had an opportunity
Of making defense. The committeeman
further asserted that it was very IN
savory affair all around

Tartans, Barelegs, Highlanders.

The first reference to highland cos
tune occurs in the Saga of Magnus Bare
foot, king of Norway, 1093-1103, writ
ten by Snorro Sturleson, who was reared
with the children of that monarch s
daughter. Here it is stated that Mag
nus and his men ON their return from a
marauding expedition to the west of
Scotland brought with them a great
deal of the habits and fashions of cloth
ing of these western parts. They went
about the streets with bare legs and had
short kirtles and overcloaks, and there
fore his men called him Magnus Bare
foot or Bareleg.
In the thirteenth century we seem to
have something like first reference to
actual tartans in the statutes of the
church of Aberdeen, which provide that
"all ecclesiastics are to be suitably ap-
pareled, avoiding red, green and striped
clothing, and their garments shall not
be shorter than the middle of the leg
But it should be noticed that the word
tartar" which occurs in the fifteenth
century, in the accounts Of the lord high
treasurer Of Scotland, and which was re-
garded by both Borthwick and Pinker-
ton as meaning tartan, really indi-
Gates, as pointed out by DR.. Dickson, a
fabric of eastern origin, frequently

being of contrasting colors. We find,
however, a true reference to tartan in
the same accounts in the following cen
fury, for in August, 1888, there appears
an entry for ''iij. elnis of Heland tar

The Coating of IroncIads.

Nobody is foolish enough to pretend
that we can coat our ironclads external
ly with sealskin or with porpoise hide,
and undoubtedly we are at great dis
advantage as compared with nature and
her living forms. Very possibly the
ultimate solution of this question may
be found in the application of some new
material altogether to the external coat
ing of our vessels. Compressed paper,
and compressed rance fiber, which are
now increasingly employed in America
for railway wheels and steam pipes,
would seem promising materials for
the purpose They admit of being mold
ed externally into any minute grooves
or tiny overlapping plates. like the
scales of fish.
Little or no extra expense will there
by be incurred, as an enormous by
draulic pressure, capable of forming
any required surface, is already EN-
ployed in the regular course of manu-
facture. Or they can JUS as easily be
nodded into a rough shagreen, which
in form can be made facsimile pro-
duction of the skin of the shark. And
by their tough and strong retentive
structure they would effectually pro-
tect the steel, or real skin of the vessel,
from corrosion by the salt water But
all this is mere conjecture. Any such
suggestions which any man can pro
pound will be nothing more than con-
lecture, so long as we are content to re-
main in our present deplorable dark
ness and ignorance of the real govern
ing conditions of the problem What we
most require is therefore light-Con-
