CIVILIAN EXPERTS
Will Assist in Discovering Defects in
Steel Armor Plates.

WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.-Secretary
Herbert and Assistant Secretary Nc
Adoo today conferred for several hours
with the members of the special board
headed by Captain Mccormick charged
with an inquiry as to the defective
structural plates of battleships 1t has
been finally determined to employ a
dozen or fifteen civilian experts to aid
the steel board in the Inspection of
steel at the mills These will be paid
from "a TO s6 per day. and they will be
selected after competitive examination
by civil service methods.
The secretary decided to puruse- the
investigation initiated by the McCor-
mick board ard look into the quality of
material supplied for other vessels than
the kearsarge and Illinois, which have
already been examined. To this end
the Mccormick board has been ordered
to visit the Cramps works and examine
the steel plate supplied by Carnegie
for the Alabama
Another board has been appointed in
San Francisco to visit the Union Iron
works and ascertain just what kind
or basis steel Is being sent there from
the Bethlehem works to build the bat
tleship Wisconsin
1t is not known that any fault exists
IN either of these cases, but the secre-
tary deems it best to make sure that
the same defects as were found in the
kearsarge and Kentucky steel do not
exist III the case of the other batteships.

down the Cuban revolt. He has ex-

complishirg his main object--that of
quelling the nsurrection and restoring
peace and good order in Cuba His
troops have been victorious on occa-
slons, but they have also met with de-
feat, and the total result, considering
Spain's outlay in life and treasure, is
far from satisfactory. Too much may
have been expected of Weyler, just as
the exaction was too great for Campos
Still the one great reQuirement-success
has not been fulfilled and Weyler has
consequently fallen In official esteem in

CALIFORNIA; CANDIDATE
Delegation Members Not Agreed on Il
Cabinet Member

WASHINGTON. Jan. 4-The Repub-
lican congressional delegation from CAL
ifornia had another meeting today to
consider the matter of uniting on some
citizen of that state to be recommended
to President-elect Mckinley for a place
in the cabinet during the next admin
istration. When the meeting adjourned
a member of the delegation said that
after full consultation the delegation
came to the conclusion that there was no
reason to recede from the position al
ready taken by 1t at previous gather
Ing, but that In difference to the opinion
of Republicans of California, with whom
the members are in communication, no
further action will at present be taken.
1t is understood that the recommended
tion made by the committee at its former
meeting, that Mr.. Horace Davis of San
francisco. be appointed to a place in
the cabinet, has not been formally
brought to the attention of Major Nc
Kinley and that it has met with a protest
from few of the leaders in state poll
tics. 1t was stated by member of the
delegation that If California receives a
cabinet position 1t will fall to Judge Nc
Kenna, who will be appointed attorney
general.

THE TARIFF ON TOBACCOS
Considered by the Ways and Means
Committee
Many Protection Advocates Appear, No
Two of Them Being Agreed on
Any Schedule of Rates

WASHINTON, Jan. 4.-The tobacco
by the representatives of the various to-
bacco interests today before the ways
and means committee with great mi
nuteness. Several branches of the bus
mess were represented, the native grow
ers, importers, manufacturers using the
native goods, using Havana and those
handling the Sumatra product Be-
tween these classes there was much dis
cord, no two of them being agreed on
any schedule of rates, and contradict
ing one another on questions and state
ments as to the effects of the present
law, rates of labor and cost of produc-
tion and manufacture. The National
Association of Tobacco Manufacturers
were represented by large delegation,
with its president, Moses krahn of Gin
cinnatt for spokesman. The association
asked for duties of 521b cents per pound
on all imported leaf tobacco, or not more
than 55 cents on all unstemmed tobacco,
and S. per hundred with % cents ad va
lorem on imported cigars. Under any
higher rates they declared their business
would be ruined. The principal repre-
sentatives of the growers were Michael
Iobln or BaldWlnsvule, N. Y, and j.
H. Van Dusser Of Horseheads, N. Y
They asserted that the native growers
had made no money under the Wilson
bill and asked for rates higher than
those of the Mckinley act. George J.
Smith of Kingston, N. Y, spoke for the
users of Sumatra tobacco, and F. P
Gunby formerly collector of the port of
Tampa, for the manufacturers of the
Cuban products. It was represented
that only per cent of the Havana to-
bacco used wrappers had paid duty as
such under the Wilson law.
The others who spoke were ex-Mayor
Frederick Schroeder of Brooklyn, H. S.
Frye of Windsor, Conn: l.. S. Neudecker
of Baltimore; j. I. Ellison of New York,
and G. Mitchell of st. Paul.
