Beach of Ohio has made statement &c
the house committee on foreign affairs IN
explanation OF a resolution by him for Sc
curing a uniform standard OF value in

coins. The measure is particularly design
ed to bring about closer trade relations be
tween the United States and other coun
tries OF this hemisphere and the east. II
requests the president TO begin negotia
tions with China, Japan, the republics
and colonies Of the American hemisphere
Canada and the Hawaiian islands for the
purpose Of securing uniform standard oi
value. All of the countries mentioned In
the resolution are silver using countries
and Mr. Beach said that one result Of his
project If it succeeded, would be to increase
the demand for American silver Tho
greatest hindrance % trade with neighbor.
ing nations was the system Of exchange
through London. These international
coins would take the place of London ex
change They would not be adapted tc
general circulation in the countries which
might adopt them nor need they be made le
gal tender in those countries. Silver would
be the material best adapted for the coins,
and its present and prospective value
should be taken into consideration In
adopting such coin.

The PrIoe nf Armnr plate-

WASHINGTON, Feb 19.-The house com.
mittee on naval affairs, which is working
on the naval appropriation bill has spent
much time in discussing the question Of
price TO be paid for armor plate. The uues-
ton was finally disposed of by the adop-
tion of paragraph to the bill authorizing
the secretary of the navy to contract for
steel armor Of domestic manufacture for
the three battleships now being construct
ed and appropriating sum not exceeding
S8,2l0, 600 for the purpose 1t is estimated
that s, ,025 tons of armor will be needed for
the three ships, so that this provision linn
its the cost to $500 ton. A substitute
was offered by Representative Hall dem.
of Missouri limiting the appropriation to
81, sos $50, which would have limited the
price per ton to $3.50, but this was voted
down. Another proposition was made to
strike the words 'of domestic manufac.
ture" from the armor clause, which also
fai&bi Members of the committee who fa-
yored this proposition argued that the
hearings showed that there was no compe-
tition between the American firms en-
gagged in the manufacture of armOr plate,
and that the government should have an
opportunity to buy of foreign firms, as
American firms were selling armor to Rus
sia at $3.50 ton.
The desirability of fostering American
plants for ship and armor building was ar
gued in opposition. The contest will be re-
newed in the house.
The committee decided TO provide for a
sailing vessel for training the Annapolis
cadets in seamanship. 1t will be compos-
ite gunboat of l,1oO tons, and it's COS
will be $3.50 600.
