ffOnRl LnNY MILL

tfOnaI LAW Mill.
Washington, July 1.-THE price to
be paid for armor plate for the three
new battleships now in course of con-
struction was the theme of extended,
aud at times, lively, debate in the sen
ate. Late in the day an amendment
to the deficiency appropriation bill was
agreed to restricting the price of armor
plate to $500 per ton, or 1925 less than
the amendment reported by the com
mittee and recommended by the navy
department as the minimum rate ac~
ceptable to the armor contractors. An
other amendment inserted in the bill
directed the secretary of the navy to
investigate as to the establishment of
a government armor factory and to re-
port to the next session Of congress.
During the debate Mr. Hale urged
that the failure to equip the battle
snlps with armOr would humiliate the
United States in the eyes of the world
and would lessen our naval power at
a time of possible foreign complica-
tons. After inserting the armor
amendments the deficiency appropria-
ton bill, the last of the great supply
measures, was passed

Conference to He Held on the Seal
ing Controversy.


ing Controversy.
London, July 20-The report cabled
on Thursday by the Associated Press
that an international conference on
the seal controversy would be held at
Washington in the autumn is con-
firmed by an official paragraph issued
by the British authorities. The state
ment says:
1.-The publication of an isolated old
dispatch. which has been duly replied
to. much as it may be regretted, has
not retarded the progress of the nego-
tiationS in London. AS there seems.
however. to be some misrepresentation
on the subject, it should be pointed
out that in the communications now
passing there is no question of alter.
ing the regulations now in force at
Rering sea, OF of imposing fresh re-
strictions. John w. Foster on behalf
of bis government, is urging that the
experts representing the governments
interested should meet and compare
the results of their Investigations,
with view of arriving at an agreed
state of facts. This is the sole object
of the proposed meeting. An idea that
the conference will deal with the ques-
ton of revising the regulations is en-
tirely misleading. Conferences be-
tween the representatives of the
United States. Canada and the foreign
and colonial officers are proceeding al
most daily"

BULLET THROUGH HIS BRAIN.
Well Known st. Paul Man Found

Well known st. Paul Man Found
Dead.
st. Paul, July 20.-Harrison L. Nc
Chung. secretary of the st. Paul Mu-
tual Building association, is dead His
body was found In the bath room of
the family residence with a bullet
wound in the head that must have
caused instant death. From the fact
that the head or face was not powder
burned, as is usually the case when a
man shoots himself, caused by holding
the muzzle of the weapon close to the
head, the Relatives believe that the
shooting was accidental; that he was
examining revolver and that the
weapon accidentally exploded.
There was little doubt at first in the
minds of the relatives that Mr.. Nc
Chung had committed suicide, al
though they were at a loss to explain
why. There seemed no cause suf-
ficient to induce Mr.. McClung to take
his life. The only cause that could
be assigned was indisposition caused
by the heat and too much ice water
added to a slight depression about
business matters.

RAILROAD RATES.
How VIII the south Dakota Com
mission Decide This:


Rapid City, S. D., July pa Ques-
lion = It is all-absorbing to the peo-
pie in the Black Hills at present is the
way the state board of railroad COM
missioners will decide in behalf of the
two roads in the Hills, the Burlington
& Missouri River and the Fremont X
Elkhorn. The present passenger rate,
3 cents per mile. and the freight rates,
all correspondingly as high, in com
parison with the roads on the level.
Tie people are anxious for reduction
in both. The roads affirm, however,
that the cost of construction in the
Black Hills has been far more eX-
pensive than elsewhere in the state;
that their total revenues from their
lines for the past five years have not
been sufficient to pay their operating
expenses and that their taxes and in
terest on bonds have to be paid from
other sources. They give statements
that they have been doing business i'll
this state at an actual loss, and re-
duction in their rates would prevent
their further operation.

Stick to Home People.

Henry Grady, in one of his speeches

Southerner, was chain that CALLED

shoe or boot made, are steps in that
ditusion Of interests that are needed.
