FREEDOM OF THE Ansesss.
The License-Tax Cnse argued In
Norfolk Yesterday.

NORFOLK, VA, November 19.-(Spe-
cial)-The matter Of making permanent
the injunction recently obtained by the
daily press OF this city against the i'm
position Of a special license-taX on news
papers came up to-day before Judge Ro-
bert r.. Prentis in the Circuit Court
The case is an important one. involving
as IL does an Interpretation Of the con-
stitutional safeguards to the freedom OF
the press. as expressed in the National
and State constitutions, and in the Vir-
ginia Bill or Rights as well as the power
OF a municipality to impose any special
license-tax which is not also assessed
by the State. The city was represented
by its attorney Walter H. Taylor, while
Messrs. James L. Goode and Tazewell
Taylor represented the newspapers. The
arguments were among the ablest ever
heard I'm a Norfolk courtroom. The
City Attorney maintains that the tax
does not abridge the rights or freedom
Of the press: that it simply requires the
business of publishing a newspaper TO
bear its share of the cost Of supporting
the government. The argument of
Messrs. Goode and Taylor is that the
LEGISLATURE did not confer, and never
intended to confer, the power of license
for a newspaper on the city councils OF
Norfolk; that a license is an abridge-
ment Of the freedom of the press; that
If the councils can declare whether a
paper shall have or not have license,
they can, 10 that degree at least, con-
troll the press. The Legislature. they
contend. never intended that city coun-
ellis should have any such privilege. The
are, they claim, not included
among the occupations which are sub
iect TO a license tax because that inn
plies the right Of the city councils to
prohibit some papers from publishing at
all. a thing which cannot be. The argu-
ments were concluded this afternoon,
and the case submitted to Judge Prentis
for decision.

ARMY PLOTTERS PUNISHED
Chilean Officers Degraded for Con-
spring Against Their Chief.
One of the Victims Threatens to
Make Revelations Regarding
the Government.

Valparaiso, Chile (yia Galveston, TEX ),
April 10. -Itis semi-offi cIally stated that a
serious military plot was at the bottom of
the conference recently held at the house
of Gen. Ca1to for the purpose of taking ac-
ton looking to the removal of Gen. Korner
as chief of the general staff OF the Chilean
army.
The action of the government In adopting
sharp disciplinary measures toward the Of
ficers who too k part in the conference, in
Guiding Gen. CanUo himself, is regarded as
an indication of the serious light in which
the incident is looked upon by the officials
of the administration. No details Of the plot
have been permitted to be disclosed.
The DEGREES issued and signed by the
President AID minister of war affecting the
Officers concerned in the meeting, at which
Gen korner was criticised and his military
measures attacked, are as follows:
Canto, a general of division; Gerostiaga,
brigadier general, and Frias, a colonel
must offer proof of their time or service in
the army, upon the presentation of which
to the war minister they will be pen stoned
and retired; Novoa, brigadier general, com
mander of the federal forces stationed in
Santiago, will be transferred to second
airy post of much less Importance than the
one he occupies now.
Gen. Korner, against whom so much ami
mus was shown, is, in reality, elevated i'm
rank 10y the agitation, as he will have not
only lis present position, but will be COLI
mander-in-chief of all the troops in the
capital.
IL is reported that Gen Gerostiaga has
declared that he viii Issue a manifesto to
the country, making startling revelations
in regard to the government and the army
The minister OF war, in reply to this threat
intimates that any offensive utteranccs
by Gerostiaga or any other accused officer
will be met with still severer measures
The press and the people generally up
hold the government in its prompt sup
preston Of nsubordination and hostile acts
against the authority Of state Citizens
especially honor Gen Korner, to whose
efforts is due TO the present state OF eff
cheney of the army.
Gen Canto has offered some explanation
of the conference at his house, but it is
criticised as containing many words, but
no real excuse. Gen. GerOstiaga says that
when he went to Gen. Canto's house the
meeting was over. He accuses several
colonies of plotting against him. 1t is
believed that duels will follow.

LONG SUPPORTS HERBERT
Congress Asked to Authorize a Bet
ter Price for ArmOr Plate.
Impossible to Purchase Armor for
New Battleships at the Present
Rate, Secretary Long Says.

The Navy Department will not be able
TO purchase any OF the thousands 0f tons
of steel arinor required for the three big
new battleships until Congress authorizes
the payment of a higher price, for the plate
than that allowe1by the presentlaw Sec
rotary Long has taken prompt action on
the bids opened Thur sday, and will refer
the whole subject back to Congress, with
the recommendation that the department
be authorized to purchase arihor at a cost
not exceeding $500 ton, which was the
rate designated by Secretary Herbert in
his report as fair and equitable
Yesterday the Secretary addressed a
letter to both branches of Congress. in
which ne called attention to the fact that
the Government, in accordance with the
act OF the last Congress. had asked for
bids, and that when opened but one firm
offered To furnish the FElnoE within the
price fix ed as the limit of cost This was
the Illinois Steel Company, which, the
letter states, has not the plant capable OF
delivering the quality of armor called for
by the Navy.
Secretary Long urgently requests that
immediate action be taken in order that
there shall he no further delay in the build
ing OF the 5attleships, and as ks that Secre-
tary Herbert's estimate of the price to be
paid for armor plate be accepted aud the
Navy Department authorized TO call for new
bisls on that basis. He directs attention To
the fact that until Congressional author
iZation is given the Navy will be bound
hand and foot, so far as armor for battle
ships is concerned, and that within a few
months the vessels will reach a stage of
completion, at which further progress can
not be made without the plates.
The amount involvedis 5000 tons, which
will cost approximately from three to four
million dollars. There are but two firms in
the country capable of furnishiagthe plates,
and these at the opening ofsbids yesterday
declined to submit propositions. AS the
Government has no armor plant and cannot
establish one under two years at a cost Of
$4,000, 900, it must, ordnance people claim,
increase the price to be paid for plates,
or else there will be no battleship construc-
ton for long while.
All ordinance Officers are opposed to the
Government undertaking the work of
manufacturing its own armor, and believe
if Congress authorizes the Navy to pay
$500 ton for plates the Bethlehem and
Carnegie Companies viii agree to the terms.
If they should refuse tits doubtful whether
Secretary Long would favor price any
larger than that recommended in Mr..
Herbert report. Capt. Sampson, the naval
ordnance chief, is of opinion that armor
can be profitably manufa ctured for $500
a ton and that the Government should not
be forcei to pay higherrate. In the event
that the two firms refuse to accept 500
he will recommend that the Government
undertake its own manufacture of plates
