THE SOUTH SCORES A VICTORY
WORK OF THE ARMOR PLATE con-
MISSION MUST BE COMPLETE.

Representative Livingston Leads "a
ForcibIy ia Acting Secretary
Roosevelt That He Orders the Conn
mission TO Visit the sOuth Before
Their Report Is Made-The Ques-
tion of a. Size For the Government
Plant viii Also BE Considered.
Washington, Sept. 1.-THE friends Of the
southern manufacturers Of steel achieved
a notable victory to-day In inducing Act
ing Secretary of Navy Roosevelt to or
der the armor plate board to make a per-
sonal inspection Of the southern steel
works before completing its report to
congress.
There was lively discussion Of the
subject at the navy department to-day be-
fore the board by Representatives Liv-
ingston, Wheeler of Alabama, Gains Of
Tennessee and Commissioner Of Pensions
H. Clay Evans. Representative Living
ston reminded the board that 1t would be
a waste of time to send a one-sided re-
port to congress on such an important
subject, for there are enough men in con-
gress who understand this subject to keep
the government from paying Carnegie 500
ton for armor plate, when it can be
bought much cheaper. He argued that
the board could not report intelligently
unless it took into consideration the cost
of production in the south, and the cheap
labor and transportation in that section.
The delegation then went before Assist
ant Secretary Roosevelt and made similar
statements, which so impressed Mr.. Roose-
Livingston's position, and decided that
the board should go south and make a
full investigation Of the southern iron
works and include the information OBJ
tained in the final report.

CUBAN ACTION DELAYED.
No Important Step to Be Expected
for the Present.


WASHINGTON, June 15.-ProbablX,
because the fact Of his return was
not generally known in Washington,
the president had few callers at the
White house this morning before the
time set for the cabinet meeting. Prom
inent among those who did call, how
ever, were Senators Aldrich and ALI
son. All the members of the cabinet
were present when the meeting hour
arrived and as it was the first session
for a week, there were many matters
of routine business that required at
tention today. The meeting did not last
an unusually long time. The matters
of public interest under discussion were
first the projected annexation of Ha-
wall, and second the state Of affairs
in Cuba AS to the first the attitude
of the administration has already been
defined and 1t is understood that what
remains now to be done is to arrange
only the details of the programme by
which annexation Is to be attained.
Touching Cuba, as the president had
an opportunity to talk only briefly
with Special Commissioner Calhoun be-
fore he went South last week, and
nothing Of Importance had developed
since, there was little to be said. II
can be stated as the result of today's
cabinet meeting that no important
action relating to Cuba will be taken
by the administration until the new
minister to Madrid has been chosen
and is at his post ready for the duties
Of the mission. This fact is significant
in that it means that some weeks must
certainly elapse before the president,
will take any action whatever vital
to the relations of this government and
the island of Cuba.

Following closely upon the events at
Concord, Lexington, April 10; Ticonder-
oga and Crown point, May 10 to II of
the same year, the action between the
British regulars and the chaotic revolt
ed Americans ON Breeds hill, miscalled
Bunker hill, was the first desperate
fight between the troops of King
George III. and the provincials~ Of Mas
sachusetts, Connecticut, Rhode Island
and Vermont. The casualties sustain

1000; that of the New Englanders
less than 500. The details of the bat

CoNETsf IN BUTTER.
Product Of Eighty crenmeries I'm
der Expert Testing.

The initial butter contest, under the
auspices ofothe Minnesota Dairy Board
OF Trade, was iheld yesterday at II
East Third street, when something
like eighty creameries entered their
product in s'sample tubs. The yellow
stuff came mostly from Minnesota, al
though there were entries from Wis
consin. Iowa and the Dakotas. The
judges were Messrs. George H Ref
snider, a prominent New York butter
dealer; A G.. Nivin, from Montreal,
large exporter Of the dairy product, and
C. F. Dexter, of Chicago, the butter
agent of the B. & o. railroad. Owing
to the extremely hot weather these
gentlemen found some of the butter in
rather soft condition, although it had
all been shipped in by express, and it
was found necessary to make allow

PARDON FoR JOE WHITE
VIII Soon BE Asked by Robert l..
Penney.


Penney.
Robert L. Penney will shortly apply
to the state board of pardons on behalf
of Joseph White, VINO was sentenced TO
life IMPRISONMENT April 8, 1894, for the
murder Of James r. Harris in Mime
apOlfS.
A petition signed by the jurors is
startling in that 1t declares the testi-
mony Of Mrs. Harris unreliable. The
petition says:
The reasons which induce us to
sign this petition are two:
First-That the only direct testimony
in the case showing or tending to show
that Joe White was a party to the
crime was that of Mrs. Harris, wife of
the murdered man, who said she recog-
niZed White as one of the murderers.
The testimony in the case also con-
clusively showed that the murder was
committed between 2 and 3 o'clock in
the morning of May 16, 1893-the morn
ing Of dark and somewhat rainy
night; that there was no light burning
in the Harris home at the time; that
the nearest lighted street lamp was at
least ninety feet distant from said
home, which lamp stood at such an
angle with reference to said house that
but little, if any, light was furnished
by means thereof to the interior OF the
Harris home and the room wherein
Mrs. Harris testified to having seen
White the morning Of the murder; that
there was no satisfactory or reliable
circumstantial evidence introduced
tending to- show his guilt.
SecOnd-That the testimony on the
part of the state showed that only
two men were in the house at the time
Of the murder and two men were seen
to leave the house very shortly after
the commission of the crime, one Of
n H.,
ness for the defense, and neither Of
whom could have been White, accord
ing to the testimony Of the witnesses,
as to the heighth and appearance.
Joe White is said to be dying of con-
sumption and, it is alleged, that he will
not survive if his liberty is restrained
much longer.
Dugan, the real murderer, wrote to
Mrs. White that her son was inno-
cent.

WHAT THE CAUCUS SIGNIFIES.

The frequent caucusing Of the Re-
ficance than mere gathering for con-
suftation as to the course the majority
shall take on a party question. Their
confreres in the house do not caucus
because Mr.. Reeds invention Of COM
mittee on rules and the tacit under
standing that the individual Judgment
of the members is surrendered to this
committee Of three obviate the need
of getting the members into secret con-
clave and tying up the recalcitrant, if
any there be, with a majority decision.
But the senate has not differentiated
sufficiently to attain this perfection Of
party organization; senators still mag
inc they have right to their individ-
ual opinions, and the rule of the eau
Gus must be resorted to to compel
agreement. Therefore the Republican
majority fall back on that coercive
method.
We say majority" for, while there
is not an actual one, there is by virtue
of various trades, deals and concessions
a practical one. McEnery, for instance,
is as good a Republican as any one
on that side Of the chamber, and Kyle
can be depended on to vote with them
when his vote is needed. But even
among the elect there is not that one
ness Of opinion that makes for the clear
sailing OF any measure branded with
the sign of partisan orthodoxy We

amendment that initiates Aldrich, and
another repeating the Hawaiian treaty

At the last meeting of the park board
the question of widening and i'm

which the lots fronting on the street
