COST or ARMoR PLATE.
Senate Committee ON Naval Affairs
Thinks It Is Too Efgh-

WASHINGTON, April 1.-THE Senate
committee on naval affairs held a session
to-day for the purpose Of considering the
testimony which has been taken in connec-
ton with the armor plate investigation. The
only definite conclusion reached was not TO
interfere with the Secretary OF the Navy
in making contracts for armor for the Ken
tucky and the Kearsarge. but 20 allow these
to be given TO private firms as heretofore.
The vessels are so far advanced in con-
struction that any interference would cause
delay in their completion. and this the
committee is not willing to be responsible
for. The question of future contracts. espe-
cially on rhe war ships authorized by the
pending naval appropriation ball, Is the
cause of considerable concern 10 the COM

paying for armor plate is too high. but has
Investigations have revealed the fact that
the cost of the manufacture or the plate
averages about $500 ton. The manufactur-
ers make the plea however; mat the work

tracts running constantly for nve or ten
years they could reduce the price, but not
otherwise. 1t Is this state OF affairs which

WILL NOT AFFILIATE.


WASHINGTON, April I.-Several con-
troversies were settled at to-days session
OF the National League of Musicians The
meeting was a stormy one and lasted seven
hours without recess. The man contention
was over the scheme to fix a uniform initia-
ton fee of s. in all local societies for MEM
bers entering from another society. There
was pronounced opposition, several radi-
cal speeches being made, but the counsel
of the friends of the measure finally pre-
vailed and it was adopted by a practically
unanimous vote. Another warm discussion
was precipitated by proposed amendment
to the league constitution forbidding the
league to affiliate with any national labor
organization. Speeches were made by some
favoring the recent proposition Of President
Gompers, of the American Federation OF
Labor, for the league to join that body.
The motion for affiliation was declared un-
stitutional by President Bremen. The rul-
ing was appealed from, and after long
controversy the scheme was discounte-
nanced and the decision sustained
AT to-night's session the question OF men,
bership insurance was up for discussion,

RETURN OF WALLER
THE Ex-CONSUL DOES NOT SPARE
THE FRENCH IN HIS STORY.
Inhuman Treatment to Food and
Medical Attendance-Will Sue
France for Damages.

NEW YORK, April 11.-John L. Waller.
late United States consul at Tamatave,
Madagascar, was a second-class passenger
on the Americn line steamer New York,
which arrived to-day from Southampton
He stated to reporter that he was re-
leased from prison in France on Feb. 20.
exactly eleven months from the time he
was sentenced at Madagascar. Mr.. Waller
declined to discuss his case at length, but
said he felt confident of the ultimate JUS
tification of his actions. He inquired anx-
iously as to the health of his wife and
family, who have been at Baltimore for the
past two months. Mr.. Waller said that
while on the guard ship at Madagascar and
during the passage to France, his treat
ment was simply inbuman, but that at
the prison where he was confined in France
his lot was no worse than that OF ordinary
prisoners. The food served lacked nutri-
ment and he was obliged to purchase sup
plies outside a concession granted by the
prison authorities and for which he was
very grateful.
After giving an account of his troubles
in Madagascar substantially as told in an
interview cabled from London one week
ago, Mr. Waller said: Il wish TO contra
diet the statement of the Secretary OF
State that there is evidence that was well
treated on the voyage from Madagascar.
At the prison in Clairvaux Waller was
taken violently i'll and doctor was sum,
moned This was one month after he had
arrived in France. With $50 which his sis
ter had sent him from Iowa, Waller was
allowed to buy 10 cents worth OF food "a a
day By writing to the French Minister or
the Interior Waller was allowed to take
three baths in five months. He wrote to
ambassador Eustis, but the French heid @
the letter for twenty-five days. Other let
On being transferred to the prison at
Mines he became very Ill again and nearly
died For a long time the doctor refused
to attend him. The food here, too, was
miserable, he says. Mr.. Waller got note
from Embassador Eustis on Nov. Is, 1895,
saying his pardon could be secured If he
admitted the validity of his conviction and
relinauished all claims against the French
government. He replied that he was main
flaming his right to indemnity: On Feb. 20.
1886. he received notice that his pardon had
been secured, but on the condition that he
must not sue the French government
through the United States government, but
in the French courts.
Mr.. Waller intends to go to Baltimore
NEXT Tuesday and then to Washington. he
will not disclose his plans. but says he will
seek to recover his property in Madagascar
and seek reparation from the French gov
ernment.

NEW CONSUMPTION CURE.
A Young Physicians Discovery. for
Which Much Is CIaimed


Copyright, 1896. by the Associated Press.)
BERLIN, April u.-Intense interest has
been aroused in medical and other circles
physician, Erich Langheld, at the Interna-
tional Physicians Congress, at Wiesbaden
to-day. that he has discovered a new rem
edy for tuberculosis. named Antimocrobia
Its principal ingredients, it appears. are
ozone and cod-liver oil, applied by subcu-
taneous injection. In the experiments of
the past five years, he explained, the great
est difficulty to overcome was that of keep
ing the ozone pure and easily available. OF
the ninety cases of tuberculosis treated In
the Moabit Hospital during the past year
all have been cured. Professors Gerhardt
and Znator fully confirmed the foregoing
statement.
From a high official of the Foreign Of
fee 1t is learned that Emperor William,
who arrived at Venice to-day, is greatly
pleased with his Italian trip. The official
said: His Majesty is convinced that the
dreibund is more than ever popular, both
in Germany and Italy. and the numberless
spontaneous tokens of sympathy evinced by
the Italian people during the past fortnight
clearly show that the dreibund has deep
root in the nations mind, independent of
any Cabinet crisis" The Emperor will re-
turn to Potsdam on April g. After the fetes
at Vienna he will go hunting in Baden and
Thuringia.
According to present arrangements the
new United States ambassador to Ger
many, Mr. Edwin +. Uhl, will be presented
to the Emperor on April SO.

officer of the general staff. who has pub
llshed in the Hanoverian Courier a sharp
attack directed against the Emperor in a
protest against pensioning army officers en-
masse. The author declares there are now
as many officers in retirement as in ac-
tivity. That too many tried and experienced
officers are lost TO the army ana that no
vocation in the whole empire to-day Is as
insecure as that of the officers from captain
upwards. which has created widespread dis
satisfaction in the army.

 One year ago he paid his first trip to Cripple Creek and was so impressed with the great mining camp that he purchased some land on Gold Hill on the outskirts of the town. He simply bought the land for speculation, not dreaming that the ground was cov- cred with gold.
