Fast as 1t is Needed.

WASHINGTON. d. c., Jan. 4.-Captain
Sampson, chief Of the Bureau Of Ordi-
nance of the Navy Department, to-day
appeared before the House Committee on
Naval Affairs in connection with the ap-
pointment submitted by the Navy Depart
ment for the ordinance branch of the
service.
In this connection he stated that facil-
tiles for the manufacture and delivery
Of armor by the Carnegie and Bethlehem
Works had so improved during the past
wear that they were now delivering the
plates promptly enough to keep pace
with the building of the ships and that
the Navy Department had every reason
to believe that these firms will here
after deliver the armor as rapidly as
required. The appropriation required for
the armor would be due by the time it
was avaiable--July next
Captain SIMPSONS testimony discredits
the rumor circulated some days aso to
the effect that Mr.. Carnegie had cancelled
all his contracts with the department.

much to their disgust, the usual gang Of
sports who expected to constitute his
retinue The result is that the great
fighter has been taken up by an entirely
different class, who are making a social
lion of him. Men of position and wealth,
who have learned that he is gentleman
boxer. and not a bruiser and blackguard,
have entertained him socially this week
every hour he has been able to spare
The champion has been invited to
breakfast, lunch, or dinner daily by men
who would not think of associating with
such puglilets as Sullivan and MITCHELL
Corbett appreciates those hOnors keenly,
for he makes no secret of his disire TO
prove himself a gentleman, ia spite of his
occupation. The absence of the rough
element from his audiences is being rec
ompensed by the increasing attendance
of the better classes. Ladies and gen
tlemen, as ordinarily, visit the Drary
Lane theater so that the financial sue
cess of the visit is assured. He is labor
