One Hotel Throws Up Six Thousand Dollar
Contract

The st. James Hotel In st. Louis openly
openly refused to entertain colored delegat es
and cancelled a $4,000 contract, II had made
for bedding and housing delegates.
Several weeks ago the officers of the Tip
pecanoe Clob, under the direction of NJ A.
Hanna, made contract with Thomas Il.
Miller, the proprietor Of the Sr. James Hotel,
TO take care OF n certain number OF delegates
for five days during the convention. The
club officers then wrote to certain Southern
delegations that rooms had been engaged
for them at the st. James. When Mr.. Miller
learned that the club intended to MI the
rooms with negroes he objected.
"If permit you to bring negroes here" he
said, "all my. help will leave. It will put me
In most embarrassing predicament"
Upon the arrival of Mark Hanna from
Cleveland to-day he was told OF what had
occurred.
81 am sorry for Mr.. Miller" said Mr..
Hanna to his agent, "but he signed con-
tract and unless he lives up to It he will find
himself involved In most unpleasant legal
complication"
When the hotel man was notified OF this he
made the following written reply:
II cannot entertain the colored delegates
In our main dining room, or under the con-
tract with your club"
AS all the leading hotels are crowded, the
Tippecanoe Club Is in quandary rs to what
1t will do with the coored delegates whom It
promised to care for.
Many of the colored men have OF their own
accord gone to the homes OF colored people
living here and obtained board and lodgings.
Some OF them, however, refuse to do this.

THREE NEW WARsHIPs.
Conferrees Agree and the Bill Will Pass
Both Houses,

The conferrees on tho naval appropriation
bill reached an agreement Monday, which
will probably be acceptable to both houses.
On the item about the number of battleshipa
to be authorized there was but little trouble.
A compromise was effected, and three battle
ships were agreed to.
In order that there may be no delay In the
work Secretary Herbert Is directed to make
the contracts for these three ships within
ninety days after the bill becomes a law.
Thus the unsecmly squabble over tho plans
for the ships which characterized the plans
for the Kentucky and Kearsarge last year
VIII be avoided. The bureau chiefs will be
compelled to agree and that speedily, on the
plans for the three new battle ships.
The item for limiting the price for armor
plate resulted In quite deadlock. A ma
jority OF the conferrees seemed determined
to limit the price to $3.50 per ton. Senator
Quay and Congressman Robinson stood firm
ly against the proposed act OF injustice to
the pennsylvania armor plate workers, and
finally brought their colleagues to terms. It
was agreed to instruct Secretary Herbert to
not make contracts for the new armor for
the new battleships until congress meets
again next winter. In the meantime he Is to
make thorough investigation into the price
paid for armor here and abroad, and also the
cost OF its manufacture, and Is to report the
results to congress early next December.
This delay Is not OF much consequence, as
armor contracts are never made until some
time after the contracts for the ships. It Ia
unfortunate for the Carnegie and Bethlehem
companies however, that the question OF the
price to be paid for armor has been raised, "a
