Talking ArmOr Plate.

WASHINGTON, July 13.-The senate
took up the general deficiency bill to-
day, the feature be ng an amendment
reducing the armor plate cost from
four to three hundred dollars per ton.
Rutler and Pettigrew both spoke in
favor of the amendment, bitterly de-
nouncipg Carnegie and the armor
trusts as Sc king to rob the people. No
definite action was taken.
Senator Butler in his speech charged
that the Oregon was fitted with spongy,
imperfect and fraudulent plates. She
was going to Hawaii to protect Ameri-
can interest, and would be fortunate if
the first hostile shot fired does not hit
one of these plates-even if there were
any good ones On her. ''If," he said,
1--WE are to take the Hawaiian Islands:
if we are to go into the land grabbing
business, we must haYe a feet as good
as any other country in the world. If
that is our policy Let Us build an armor
plant Of our own, we have plenty of
time Butler opposed the bill for the
system of postal banks appropriatiDg
one hundred thou sand dollars therefor.

Information received here today in q
private letter from a representative
London radical and which further
states that an appeal has been issued
to liberal, radical and reform sOcie-
ties to come to the aid of their fellow
cOuntryman. The once great agitatOr
and leader of the masses concerned is
William Sewell, who, with five others,
formed the original nucleus of the ex-
ecutive committee that promoted the
chartist upris ing with its incidental
riots in different parts of the country
and its presentation of mammoth petit
tiOns to parliament.
According to the wor ding of the ap-
peal which is being circulated in Eng
land, Sewell, with his son and daugh-
ter-in-law, was some two years ago'per-
suaded to leave London for the United
States. where he was promised land,
cattle, poultry and other farming sup
plies free Of charge. On arriving at
his destination, however, the old man
discovered that he had been deceived.

Christian Schugh Killed.

WOod WAS received this morning
from CorralitCs, Mexico, that Christ
ian Schugt, mine boss for the Cora
litos Mining and Land company had
been killed. No particulars were Civ
en- in the bul etin message, but it was
subsequently stated that Nj. Schugt
was a ssi mated during the night by
being shot as he lay in bed, the leaden
messenger of death being sent thrOug b
his window. Another report says he
had had a difficulty with two Mexicans,
one of whom was shot while the second
man shot Mr.. Schugt.
The deceased leaves a wife and two
children, all of whom were with him.
Mr.. Schugt was a cousin of DR.. Schue t
of this city, and had been in this conn
try some ten years. He was formerly
mayordomo at the Hacienda of Ketei-
sen & Deeetatl down the river, and was
quite competent man. He was forty
years old.
1t has been learned that a message
came up this morning from San Pedro
from John Blue, brother OF Sup5.
Walter Blue who was in town yester-
day, stating that Mr.. Schugt had been
killed: al<o to notify Dr.. Schugt and
others. Mr.. Blue it is understood left
for the south Immediately, ard the
doctor leav' by the next train. While
the message did not state the circum-
stances, the HERALD was informed
this afternoon that report had it
that On the Fourth of July
there was a shooting scrap down there,
in which a Mexican named Barrela
shot another man through the leg, the
latter dying from the effects Of the
wound. The friends of the dead man
wanted Barrela arrested, but Mr..
Schngt who was justice OF the peace,
refused to issue a warrant t and said Bar
rela should not be arrested. This
caused deal of bad feeling, and the
present assassination is a.d to the door
of the friends of the man who was shot

Ell PASO'S CLIMATE.
What an Ohio Man Has to Say of This


w. J. Rusk, mayor of Oxford, Ohio,
who is in town. is an object lesson on
the great climatic advantages of the
southwest.
''When 1 went to El Paso Texas,
last WINTER" said he, 81 could scarcely
| walk four blocks, and coughed inces-
santly. A stay of six months wrought
an immense charge, and 1 do not be-
lieve that it fails to cure one. 1 atLri-
butte my improvement directly to the
dry and pure atmosphere of that re-
gion, and do not believe that it fails
10 cure one suffering from consumption
provided he does not delay going too
long. The mild winters are also q
great point in favor of Ell Paso.
''The man who has lung trouble and
will 60 down there and stay out in the
open air is almost sure to be cured. 1t
beats all the medicine the doctors can
give. At first, when 1 was too weak
to get about much, I lay for hours iu
the warm sunshine, and then my
strength soon began returning. Then
| got pony. and rode all over the
county, which was also invigoratinR.
1 am going back ere long. and mean to
continue staying there Till a thorough
cure is effected.
st is a pleasant region to sojourn in,
anyway, and though somewhat distant
from the great centers of population,
has many attractions besides it's salu-
brious climate
''We have everything that man needs
in Texas now, except money" said Mr..
Hicks of Rockdale, Texas, a partner
in large mercantile house.
"We have made splendid corn
crop. and although the cotton is need
ing rain, I've no doubt thereHl be
plenty of it produced. AS to cotton,
we are fooled three different times
{ each season in Texas. Early in the
year we think we are going to raise
more than all the world put together;
a month or six weeks later panic hits
us and we wear long faces and declare
that there won't be quarter of a crop
made, and then, when it comes to
gathering it, we find that the yield has
been fairly good after all.
''But as l was saying, about this
money question-our people have not
got any cash. Of course, they'll have
money, plenty of it, if they can get six
or seven cents a pound for their cotton
in the fall. Yet about this time of the
year currency is so scarce as to be al
most a curiosity. While we are in no
distress and no danger of it,
still the majority of US think
that something is wrong in
the finasciai policy of the government,
and that is why the majority of Texans
are for free silver. Washington cor
