committee of the committee of WAYS
and means, having under considera-
ton several bills relating to reciproci-
" and commercial treaties, will have

tions of foreign countries. The inquiry

THE MASSACHUSETTS.
Atrial Trip of the New warship Will Be
Made by the Cramps.
The viii Go Into Commission In n Few
Weeks-rhe Cruiser Brooklyn VIII BE
Finished I'm JuIy-The Town VIII he
Launched Sometime This Month.

PHILADELPHIA. March 13.-The
''nitcd States navy will soon be
ftrengthed by the addition of another
powerful war vessel. On Tuesday next
tne battleship Massachusetts will sail
from Cramps ship yard on her builders
trial trip. As the trial is for the pri-
'ate information of the Cramp company
20 guests will be aboard. nor will the
government be officially represented on
She trip by any navy officers.
The trip will consume about four
days, but the best part of this time will
be taken up in the descending to the
Capes and ascending the Delaware riv-
er to the shipyards. If the trial H. sat
isfactory the official trial OF the vessel
off the Massachusetts coast will take
place in about six weeks.
The Massachusetts was launched over
two years ago, and but for the delay in
the completion of the armor and guns.
would have been in commission long
ago. The vessel is now practically fin
ished and IL necessary could 20 into
commission in a few weeks
The delay for several months past
has been due 20 the non-arrival of two
OF the four big Is inch rifles which
form the Massachusetts battery Two
of these guns are in place in their tur-
rets, and one is now on its way here
from the government proving grounds
at Indian Head, and the fourth will be
shipped from bethlehem in day OF
two With the mounting of these guns
the ship will be practically completed.
The Massachusetts is sister ship Of
the Indiana. The big cruiser BROOKLYN.
which was launched last fall. is rapidly
approaching completion and will be
finished about the middle of next July.
The sea-going ship Iowa will be
launched about the end of this month.
and IT is not unlikely that President
cleveland and some of his cabinet will
he present upon the occasion. When
the Iowa is launched she will be pushed
as rapidly as possible, and the Cramps
expect to have her in readiness for her
trial trip before the end of the wear.
With the launch of the Iowa. the last
big government vessel on the stocks at
Cramps. will have been floated.
The company, however. is working
zealously to get the contract for the
construction of some of the new war
ships Japan is to build and Gen. Geo.
u. William, the Cramps agent. will sail
again on the steamer leaving San Fran
cisco next Saturday for the land of the
mlkado and he expects to bring back
with him in his pocket contracts for
several million dollars worth of work.

KING HUMBERT.

The new ministry has decided con-
servative leanings. The ministers were
sworn into office ut the Quirinal after
which ceremony parliament was con-
voked by the king on March 10.
OF course, the principal subject for
Legislative action will be the voting of
supplies for the prosecution of the war
in Africa. 1t will depend upon the
temper of the Legislative body whether
the war shall cease or not.
In receiving the allegiance of the
new ministers, King Humbert declared
that he was certain that all difficulties
would be overcome and that the Ital-
ians would extract honor from the war
with Abyssinia.

"A Large Crowd or Visitors to witness
the Proceedings.

BEAUFORT, y. c., March 1.-THE
docking of the great warship Indiana,
at the adjacent Port Royal basin, has
been axiously looked for here by the
people of the entire south Atlantic
coast. The railroad worked up large
excursions and there was quite an in.
vasion of visitors to see the docking
of the noted vessel. They came
by the hundreds from south Caro-.
lima and Georgia and by noon
there were about two thousand
visitors ON the ground. Those who
went directly to Port Royal saw the
Indiana lying ont in the stream like
floating brown stone fort. The docks
were soon crowded with visitors and
the announcement that the battleship
would be open to visitors at one o'clock
was gladly welcomed. The Indiana
had quite rough time of it down from
Hampton Roads, encountering gale
and heavy southwest winds The
matches leaked a bit from the firing of
the heavy guns fore and aft. for the
board of inspectors
Capt. Evans is delighted with the
trip so far. The Indiana is drawing
24.3 feet, and had she been drawing 90
feet she could have come in as we'll IL
nothing unfavorable occurs and the
westerly winds are not too high. the
docking will occur in the morning on
the high tide at 8 o'clock. The author
tiles of the naval station and the dock
officers are confident there will not
he the slightest trouble in docking
the vessel and giving her bottom the
first cleaning it has received since she
left the Cramps ship yards. The gov.
eminent coast survey boat Blake Is
now in Port Royal bay to see whether
there have been any changes in the
channels since the last survey. II the
Indiana goes in the dock ON time Sat
urday morning the expectation is the
two large pumps will have the basin
empty by noon.

Two Pittsburgh Papers.
PITTSBURGH, Pa. March lie. l..
Magee, of the Pittsburgh Times. and
State Senator VIM. Finn. entered suit
before Alderman McMasters Wednesday
against the Pittsburgh Commercial Ga.
zette for criminal libel. Mr.. Finn also
made an information against the Pitts
burgh Press, charging criminal libel. The
information against the Gazette al.
ieges that that paper published false
and defamatory article which stated
that Magee and Flynn had entered into
a deal with Mark Hanna, the Cleveland
millionaire, to boom Mckinley for pres
idcnt and had received $50 for so
doing.
Mr. Flynn's action against the
Press is based on the pub
Iication of IA cut illustrating that
the y rays on his brain showed bag
of money labelled Mckinley cam

The time for the hearing of the case
has not been set.

WASHINGTON. March 1.-the vene-

hat the main points at Issue in the dis

'oyal archives of Spain and Holland

% develop contemporary documents
which might throw strong side lights
upon the evidence submitted. While
definite action was postponed I'M
til the full British and Vene-
zuelan case shall have been
formally brought under consideration
there remains no doubt that some of
the commissioners, or at all events the
secretary of the commission. Mr.. Malet
Provost, and agents under his direc-
ton will soon be sent TO Madrid and
the Hague. II is explained that this
determination is not due TO the alleged
discovery of Interpretations in DEGREES
and treaties already in the COM
missions possession, but from the
conviction that the final decision of the
commission ought not to be open to any
attack as TO "Reminiscences of the
pivotal evidence upon which such de-
cision will in all probability be
found to depend In the prelim-
mary investigations of the COM
mission they have been confronted
with numerous Numerically con-
fiicting maps and TRANSACTIONS.
While geological discrepancies are
within the power OF the commission to
harmonic through the enormous mass
of corroborative charts, IL commands
comparatively indecipherable and par
tial eligibility OF royal DEGREES are
thought To be matter which necessitate
personal and expert examination.
The commission expects to be in pos
session of the British blue book. as well
as the greater part Of Nenezuela's case,
early next week. and in view Of this
anticipation Mr.. Coudcrt and Pr.esi-
dent Gilman, who have hitherto spent
little time in Washington. will re-
main here for the present for
daily meetings ut which the weighing
and comparison of evidence will DO
prosecuted continuously. No one of
the commissioners has yet had an OPP
portrnity To carefully examine the
British ease as the only availabl
copy that has reached them was one
of the advance edition sent by
Ambassador Bayard To the state de-
partment which may contain typo
graphical or other errors incident tc
hasty operation.
The regular copies for the commits
sion will arrive here. in all proba bility.
Saturday evening or Monday next.
While access to "a state department copy
has been allowed. there has been nc

COAL OPERATORS
Of the Pittsburgh District Combine to
Sustain Prices for 1896.

have combined to sustain prices during
lso6. and have agreed upon % cents u
ton as the price to be paid to Pitts.
burgh producers at their mines The
prices at lake points this year will be

The only obstacle is the doubtful
consent of the Ohio shippers on basis
of 90 per cent. for Pittsburgh and 35
per cent for Ohio in the seasons bust
ness The Ohio operators want high

sent to the arrangement proposed in
