priaung $4,000 for the expenses of
another commission of arbitration to
adjust the claims of Canadian scalers
seized by the United States. Mr.
Cofkrell finally withdrew his PROPOSE
tiOn.s The deficiency bill was kept
steadily before the senate through the
dayaand was passed after II struggle
OF three hours. The claims of Cali
fOrnia, Oregon and Nevada against the
government aggregating about $1,000
00OgWas passed without the formality
OF an aye and nay vote. The appro-
priation of $1S0,OOO to tho Southern
Pacift railway. and another Of about
$1,OOO,OOO for French spoliation claims
and war claims were also passed.
The house is approaching the close
of the session with unusual calmness
and@eGnanimity. The entire day was
devoted to the consideration of bills
on motions to pass them under sus-
pen.aon Of the rules. Five recogni-
tons for this purpose were made by
tile speaker, CT which three passed and
twO$failed to receive the necessary

HARDENING BY THE USE OF CARBON.
Mr. Harvey's process consists in heating the
metal IN a temperature above that OF molten cast
iron in an alright furnace in contact with the
sneclally patented mixture OF carbOnaceous ma
,eraL In experiments IT has been found that
deeterious components In the metal were volatl-
lied or combined with penetrating carbon gases,
and we're thus disodged. At the same time
sufficient amount OF carbon deposited In the
surface OF the metal to permit 1t TO be hardened
and tempered. While the results with the Harvey
plate have been highly satisfactory from ball
istlc point OF view there has necessarily been much
delay in turning out the plates by the manufac-
turers for the reason that the process OF treat
ment is tedious. Each plate for the battle-ships
undergoing construction had to remain in the FUR
mace under an intense heat. for nearly month.
During that time the greatest had to be ex-
ercised to see that the heat uniform; that no
part OF the plate received more carbon than an
other or that the heat too high, which would
result in the softening and sagging OF the metal.
Sometimes the outside air got into the furnace.
causing the loss OF thousands OF dollars and great
DELAY In the completion of the armor for the ships.
Iatterly, however, experiments have shown that
as the material now used In the manufacture OF
armor is OF the best quality, advantage is
gained by the employment OF the intense heat of
the costly Harvey process. and that the carbon
may be easily introduced through any OF the old
and well-known methods OF cementation. In ad-
dition 1t has been found that the carbonization
