ARMoR PLATE HEARING CONTINUED

PIunt Cost S1,OOO,OOO


WASHINGTON, Feb! S.-The senate COM
mittee ON naval affairs today continued its
hoaying on armor plate contracts. Ex-Secre-
tary Tracy was before the committee for
four hours and went over the entire ground
covered by Senator Chandler's resolution, in
Guiding the contracts for Harveyized steel
and nicket steel plate, He said that he knew
Of no Irregularities in these matters while
he was secretary and that he left all the
details to Commodore Folger who was chief
OF the ordnance bureau. He also said that
Mr.. Folger's employment by the Carnegie
company did not occur while he (Tracy) was
secretary
Mr.. Andrew Carnegie Of the Carnegie COM
pany and Mr.. John Wharton CT the Bethle-
hem iron works were also before the com
mittee. The questions asked OF them were
directed especially at securing information
on tho subject of the cost of making armor.
with a view of action upon the Smith bill
for the establishment OF an armor plate fac
tory at Washington. They agreed In the
statement that such a plan could not be Sc
cured for less than S4.000,000, which was
about the price that the plant had cost in
each OF their concerns. They also said that
there was not large profit in the present
average price of armor plate which is from
$3.50 to $500 per ton, and explained the low
rate at which foreign contracts had been
taken by saying that this had been done for
the purpose Of extending business.

KENTUcKy's SENATORIAL BATTLE
Another Ballot Reveals No Relative

LOUISVILLE, Feb. S.-A special to the
Post from Frankfort KY, says The furry
of renewed interest in the senatorial race,
which was created by the early morning re-
port that Senator OGilvey was unable to be
out, subsded when the feeble senator came
into the house chamber twenty minutes be-
fore the time to ballot. The report that the
Blackburn people proposed to make a final
rally to elect him, had also fallen fiat, and a
very small audience was in the lobbies when
the ballot began.
More pairs than have been made for a week
were announced. They were as follows: Car
penter and Holloway. Hissem and Hayward
Elliston and Petrie, Sims and Lay. Siege and
Noe, Johns and Richardson. Stephenson and
Lyons, Ashcraft and Henton, Garrett and
Lykin, Gillian and Swinford. Grlder and Wills

Minister Terrell Needs No PrOtec-
tiOn at COnstnntinOple.
WASHINGTON, Feb. $50 far as known
here United States Minister Terrell has not
applied to the porte for authority to have a
guard ship enter the Dardaneles. Officials
say that at the present there is no need for
a guard ship for the United States legation at
Constantinople and 1t Is believed that the
runner that Mr. Terrell Is moving in that
direction probably has its foundation in a
suggestion that was under consideration
some time ago, when there was reason to
apprehend roting in Constantin0ple that
might injure the United States legation.
Inasmuch as the United States govern
ment has expressly refused for years past
to recognize the right Of the Turkish
authorities to exclude any OF our war ships
from the Dardanelles which We persist in
regarding as a great artery connecting two
open seas and therefore not subject to the
Jurisdiction of any one nation, 1t Is hardly
probable that Mr.. Terrell would go upon
record now as officially asking permission
to exercise function that the United States
insists 1t may discharge as a matter Of right
when 1t sees fit.
In the present situation OF affairs in
Turkey, 1t Is said at the Navy department
that the United States Is not disposed to take
an issue needlessly that might tend to cause
an outbreak, but II the time comes when 1t
Is deemed necessary for the protection Of
American interests to have one or more war
ships in the DardanellcS, they will be sent
there with or without permission of any other
neton.

VIII Daess the Name.

CORPUS CHIsTI. Tex. Feb. S.-(Corre
spondence to The Bee .)-Since the capital has
been subscribed for cutting the intercoast
channel along the inner bays next to the
mainland from Brownsville to the mouth OF
the Brazos river, giving some 400 miles OF
this coast country water outlet at Aran-
sas Pass the inquiry for and Gales OF large
tracts of land for colonization purposes be-
tween here and brownsville has been un-
paralleled in the history of southwest Texas
And this has stimulated the towns and ranch
men back Of the water to raise the addi-
tional bonus demanded for the completion
OF the Corpus Christi & Brownsville road to
Aransas Pass. About 70 miles Of this road
was graded some three years since, but, like
many other enterprises. 1t was temporarily
crippled by the panic This coast country is
certainly on the eve OF wave OF great de-
velopment and prosperity and will rise up
and call the name Of Alex Brown e. Sons
blessed for opening the harbor OF Aransas
Pass to the commerce of the world.

Came Back with Il Score of Thirty
Two Birds for the Day.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-After' a full day
devoted to duck shooting off Quantico, Va,
and with score Of thirty-two birds. Pres
ident Cleveland, accompanied by Captain
Lamberton, inspector in the light house serv-
ice, returned to Washington on the light
house tender, Maple, at $3.50 o'clock this
evening The weather conditions were ia
vorable, the birds numerous and the party
enjoyed fine sport. The party were the
guests of Colonel Withers Walters. whose
duck feeding grounds, one and one-half
along the Potomac river. With the host
was his personal guest, Colonel Withers
Walters, and both rowed out to the blinds
and Joined in the sport The Maple reached
Quantico this morning at 2:15 o'clock, and
soon dropped anchor a mile below the blinds.
At 6 o'clock breakfast was taken, and then
the president, with his companion, who has
accompanied him on all of his recent duck
hunting expeditions, was rowed out to tho
blinds, 200 yards off shore. Nearly an hour s
waiting ensued, and then the onslaught was
begun. BY noon thirteen Of the birds were
bagged and the sport was stopped for the
time for luncheon, which was brought out
from the tender.
The campaign against the ducks was con-
tinued with zest throughout the afternoon,
and when closed shortly after o'clock, the
count for the day had reached thirty-two.
The party then returned to the tender,
which weighed anchor ten minutes before 6.
The boat proceeded slowly and almost four
hours were consumed in the return journey.
The president looked we'll as he stepped off
the boat and into the carriage in waiting,
and remarked that they had had very good
luck. Colonel Walters remained with the
party on the return trip.

NEW YORK. Feb. s.-A dispatch from
Madrid says: This city was last night the
scene of demonstration that would have re-
quired but very little to have turned 1t into
serious riot AS told on Tuesday last, q
number of men hooted General Campos as
he was driving to his residence from the rail-
way station on his return from Cuba. A
number we're arrested and one of them broke
away from the gendarmes who had him In
custody and sought to make his escape. The
gendarmes fired at him and killed him. The
shooting was bitterly condemned by the re-
publicans.
The funeral OF the victim took place yes
terday and was attended by great crowds.
Fully 10000 men, most of whom were repuh-
licans, marched to the cemetery. shouting
for the entire distance, 'Down with the
police" Down with Campos," and Long
live the republic" The government anticI-
pated further trouble and there was strong
force of police. who. however, appeared to
be afraid to interfere with the procession In
any way lest they provoke a riot. Conse,
quently the crowd shouted itself hoarse until
the cemetery was reached, when the great
assemblage stood with barred heads until the
funeral rites had been completed
The greater part Of the crowd then dis
persed, but 1000 of Its number again formed
In line and marched unmolested back to the
palace, in front of which they gathered and
shouted Death to the king" Death to the
queen regent" and Long live the republic"
Even the palace guards seemed to be intihi.
dated by the sulen temper of the mob and
made not the slightest attempt to drive them
away.
After partly venting their anger against the
king and his mother, the crowds marched to
the residence Of General Esmpos where
similar demonstration was made.
The apathy of the police. which was uny
questlonably due to fear, was significant. 50
far as is known the civil authorities made Ip
request Of the military for dispensing thh
crowd. The crowds committed no overt acts,
however, contentng themselves with shout
Ing and hooting, but they were evidently In
humor to fight had they been interfered
with. After darkness had set in 1t was pro-
posed to gather under the windows OF the
hotel at which were stopping a number Of
republican delegates who had come to Madrid
especially to attend the funeral Of the VIC
tim of the gendarmes and serenade them.
The police had in the meantime mustered
their courage and told the leaders the SER
enade would not be allowed. Tho crowd.
after insisting upon carrying out the plan,
finally listened to the leaders and dispersed.

OUR TRADE INCREASING AT PANAMA
American Commerce Rapidly Gaining
on british Shipping Interests.

on British Shipping Interests.
WASHINGTON, Feb. S.-An exhaustive re-
port has been made to the State department
by United States Consul General Vifquain at
Parama upon the business Of the Panama
railroad and the prospects Of the canal
He shows that there is a small but steady
increase of the number of American steamers
calling at Panama and they carry twice as
much as all the other steamers. In five
years the number of arrivals of American
vessels has increased from fifty-five to eighty
ore while the arrivals of English steamers
in the same time increased from seventy
two to only eighty-four. az
| Touching the transit across the isthmus
the consul general says the trade would
be much larger If the railroad rates were
lowered and at present great quantity of
coffee is taken from Central America by
German steamers around the Horn to Ham
burg and Havre, while timber goes to Italy
and England, and wheat from California to
all Europe by water. which should cross the
isthmus. The consul general says 1t Is gen.
orally conceded that the Panama railroad has
seen its best days in the transit Of bus-
ness, although the traffic has increased an
nually for the past five years. The fight
between the Panama railroad and the Pacific
Mail Steamship company has caused much
loss to the cash value Of the transit bust
ness, but the increase of acreage In coffee
lands has been so great that notwithstand-
ing the fight the transit business could not be
held down, although the cash receipts have
suffered.
Mr.. Vifquain says "Under foreign own
ership and foreign management the AmerI-
can corporation known as the Panama Rail-
road company will continue to thrive whether
there be a canal or not, sgreatly to the
detriment OF American interests, commercial
and international, nasmuch as European
tendencies seem bent, either for self
preservation or international jealousy, to
undermine and destroy the United States
prestige in this part Of the world. My firm
belief is that there will be canal built
within the next decade"

GERMAN TnA ADE IN THE TnANsvAAL.
EngIands Supremacy Boldly ChnI-
lengcd by the krupps ana Others.


WASHINGTON, Feb. S.--Within the past
few years Germany has built up an important
and lucrative trade with the Transvaal. not
withstanding the fact that only a few years
ago she refused to enter into closer relations
with the little African republic. because her
interests In that quarter OF the world were
so Insignificant. Now. however. according to
United States Consul Moore at Weimar, Ger
many. having acquired colonies In East Africa,
is looking TO that continent as the most ia
yorable field for extending her foreign trade.
Germans have acquired large interests In the
Transvaal gold mines. and they built the
railroad from Pre.s-ia to the coast. The
Krupps and other great German iron masters
have established agencies in the Transvaal,
and Germany counts upon checking British
Influence there through the development Of
its iron trade. In consequence the German
trade with the Transvaal has increased from
1000, 900 marks In 1889 to 5000. 900 marks In
1884, excluding goods shipped via England.
