senator TillnaaI,

of South Carolina, made the thieves
writhe In the U. S. Senate on Monday.
The Naval Committee reported that
armor plate should not cost mole than
$500 a ton. Senator Chandler moved
an amendment fixing the price at $500
MI. Quay and Mr.. German siated
that the $500 rate had been agreed to
by the Naval Committee and 30 recom-
-ended to the Appropriation Commit
tee for insertion in this bill.
Mr.. Chandler dissented from these
tatements, asserting that no agree
ment had been reached and that $500
was an ample price for the government
to pay. Mr.. Chandler commented on
the offer of the Illinois Steel Company
to furnish armor at from $500 to $3.50
per ton and on the fact that the Beth
lshem Company was furnishing the
Russian Government armor at $240.
Senator Tillman, who is a member of
the Committee took the floor. He said,
"No recent expenditures Of the gov.
eminent has been SO seeking with fraud
and 80 d~isgraceful to those connected
with It. Last year under the impetus
Of the Venezuelan war scare the House
sent q proposal to the Senate for four
battleships, the number had been fixed
at three because there were only three
yards in the country The three COM
panies bid In collision and the govern
ment was paving a million and a half
more than wa necessary. Instead of
us controlling the monopolies, the
monopolies have this Senate In their vi.
cious pocket. l would hate to say or
or even lnsinuate that these armor plate
manufacturers have their paid agents
in this Senate"
Senator Hawley, of Connecticut, rose
beginning "Does the Senator dare''-
Mr.. Tillman shouted, ~ dare to say
that so far as l can see, there are things
here that a be explained on no other
theory" Mr.. Hawley replied, ut is
untrue and unworthy Of a gentleman"
Tillman coolly retorted, ITO that l can
only gay it Is the CALLED jade that winc-
ed"
Hawley turned pale and tr0mbled
yisably and made an angry remark, and
Senators led him to a cloak room.
Tillman continuing said there was
proof that the government had been
looted to the extent Of two or three
millions. Yet Senators say 1--WE can't
help it." The trusts have the govern
ment down and their hands in its peck
ct. There was a darker page in the
dealings with the Carnegies. The
thieves were caught and fined but this
glorious president OF ours, who, thank
God, goes out Of Office in two days, re-
mitted the fine. And yet, q Senator

Jacksonville, Fla, Dec. 3.-The saucy

She is high I'm the water and with little
coal on board, showing a long cruise.
The report was current that a deck
hand had been lost during the trip, but
the story was denied by men on board
the tug. Senor Petous, Spanish vice CON
sui was asked today If the Dauntless had
landed a cargo in Cuba. to which he re-
Piled:
Yes, Think so.'
Senor Petoas was asked why the Daant-
less was allowed to leave port without a
Government officer ON board.
All. that was where she fooled US -
he said, struggling his shoulders meanin sly.
Everything seemed to be all right, and
We did not suspect.

cargo is also said to have contained arge

Favorable Decision In the Sugar

New York, Dec. 3.-A number of CIR
eumstances which came to light after the
close OF business yesterday served to
stimulate purchases at the opening OF
business this morning. These were nota-

imported from the Netherlands, and the
excellent statements of earnings Which
