amendment ON battleships and agree to
four as provided for by the house.
The United States stood alone. This
was apparent, he said, in the tone of the
European press. In such circumstances
we should be in II position to command
peace. There would not be the slightest
danger of war unless through the weak
ness of our navy and the defenceless con-
dition of our coasts.
Mr.. Quay (Rep.) of Pennsylvania
moved to recede from the senate amend
ment reducing the battleships to two.
An extended debate as to the cost of
armor plate was participated in by Sen
ators Quay, Bacon, Chandler and Till
man.
Mr.. Tillman spoke in his usual breezy
style. He said he did not object to the
law providing that all armor must be of
American make, but he objected to hay
ing American concerns rob the govern
ment. He wanted to see whether these
companies could take the government
receding from the senate amendment
limiting the price of armor would show
the power of those "armor robbers" He
declared that the investigation of armor
frauds two years ago was shifted into
the senate in order to kill it.

Iillman. looking around the senate.
"Have we lobby here? Have we sena-

made to vote at 1 o'clock tomorrow.

CONSIDERING THE BILL.

Washington, June 3.-The bill prohibit
ing the issue of bonds, which passed the
senate yesterday, was considered by the
house ways and means committee today.
Representative Wheeler (Dem.) of Ala
bama moved to report favorably, but no
action was taken at the time the commit
tee adjourned The sentiment of the
committee seemed to favor making an
adverse report.
After the meeting the Republican men,
bers of the committee held conference
with the leaders of the house to discuss
the situation. Two or three members ad-
wise that the committee ignore the reso-
luton and let it rest for this session.
They argue that little if any time could
be given to the question in the house with
out delaying the adjournment, for which
all the members are anxious, but it is
understood that the members holding
this view were of the minority. Others
were anxious to put at rest any opposi-
ton to the business interests of the coun-
try.

| taken up in the senate today, the pending
| question being Mr.. Quay's motion that
the senate recede from its amendment re-
ducing the number of new battleshipS
| from four to two.

volved-one, whether it was wise to or
der four battleshps when defects in those
| already ordered had been disclosed, and
when board was in session considering
to the expectancy of this large eXpendl-
ture at time of financial strlngency.
II am always in favor of fair increase
of the navy said Mr.; German. but |
am unalterably. opposed to building four
warships considering the condition OF
the treasury and the improvements being
made in naval construction"

in the senate by Mr.. Chandler and Others
that armor manufacturers were "robbing
the government numerically. II THIS
charge was true, the officers of the gov
eminent were derilict in their duty.
Mr.. German did not believe any lnvestl-
CATION had shown that Secretary whitney
or Secretary Tracey, the two great secre-
taries of the navy who contracted with
the Carnegie and Bethlehem works, mad
made improvldent agreements. Inc sen,
ator considered the contracts wise ana
beneficial. To-Day the Unlted otates
stood ahead OF the world In It's product OF
armor, the speed OF ships and perfection OF

Mr.. Chandler asserted that intorma,
ton before the naval committee showed
that the cost of production OF armor
plate at the Carnegie ana betnienem
works was less than $500 ton, ana that
by combination the price charged the
government was 5000 and $500 ton,

THE RIVER AND HARBOR BILL
+ PASSED THE SENATE BY A
VOTE OF So TO 5.
SEVERELY CRT|C|SED
For What Some Senators Term His
Abuse of the Veto Power-Senator
Tillman Turns Himself Loose ON
"ArmOr Robbers"

Washington, June 3.-The senate to-
day passed the river and harbor bill by
a vote of So to 5. This was the last ster
in making the bill effective. The vote

by Senators Vest. Sherman. pettigrew.

Tended by Senators Villas, Hill and Bate.

course Mr.. Tillman of South Carolina

robbery" He referred to the grip by the
throat which the armor concerns had on

asked if there were attorneys or a lobby
here or senators interested in seeing these

ser. He began at this time to show that ability which has since made him con- spicuous in Alabama journalism.
 The 1st of July, 1871, he purchased the Gadsden Times and continued it's editor and proprietor until February l, lSsi, when that paper and the News consolid- ated and was published as the Times and News, Meeks & Johnson being the pro- pretors.
 In September, 1895, Charles F. Meeks bought w. P. Johnsons interest in the Times-News, and the paper is now pub lished by w. M Meeks & Son.
 MT. Meeks began life without means or influential friends and with but limited education. He purchased the Gadsden Times by giving a mortgage on the plant and making a small cash payment. The sale included the books and good- will of the paper. As an evidence of his business capacity, he collected from the old accounts enough to pay the concern out of debt. The Times since that day until it's consolidation was an influential journal and a decided financial success. Through that means MT. Meeks has laid the foundation of handsome fortune.
 He is man of superior natural en- dowment and of great energy and indus try. He seldom indulges in an idle hour, generally keeping himself full of busi- ness. He is one of Gadsden's most pro- gressive men, and has contributed his time, talent and money to her success and development.
 MT. Meeks is man of strong convic- tions and has the courage of them. When he settles down on a question, neltnef fear nor force can shake him. The same energy and tact he has brought to jour nalism would have rendered him success flfl in any department of business.

MT. Barr is familiar figure at the meetings of the Alabama Press associa- tion He is known to every member and always takes a deep interest in the delib- erations. For many years he has had a conviction that the foreign advertisers have determined to use the columns of the Alabama papers at the least expense possible, and as he will read a paper on the Amenities of Journalism" 1t is sur missed that he will solve this much vexed question by offering an amendment" that will prove effectual in forever set ting this perplexing and long standing financial problem.
 The Gazette is prosperous paper, and while not as large as some of the weekly papers of the state, is enterprsing, and it's columns are always highly interesting and characterized by the originality of it's editor which sparkles like new wine in every column.
