special says: President-elect Mckinley
is heartily in favor. of an international
conference to consider international BIZ

Major Mckinley is in earnest ON the
subject of an international conference
He is in accord with the spirit of Sem
ator Wolcott's resolution, and believes
that action should be taken at once. He
is in favor of calling the conference in
the early spring. He says it is idle to
talk of postponing action until after the
tariff is disposed of. because if any
thing is to be accomplished the prelim-

t,.ral steel plates delivered by the car
Degie Steel Company at Newport News
for the battleships Kentucky and kear-
sarge has submitted its report to the

Tb. board made very extensive tests
Of material at the shipyards, and ar
rived at the following conclusions: That

ing the specimens longitudinally
large proportion OF the steel complies
with the specifications. If, however a
transverse bending test is also required,
or1v one lot of plateS-the 17l2-inch

The defects are attributed to the fact
that the plates receive most OF the work
IN the mills in the direction of their
length. and the failure Of the inspectors
70 detect these defects was due to the
failure of the specifications, in their
orinjon. TO require a transverse bend

THE board believes that more reliable
