ARMoR PLATE REPORT READY.


Government Plant Favored II Makers
VIII Not Accept ol00 Ton.
Washington. Feb. 10.-The senate COM
mittee on naval affairs has reached a
conclusion on the report to be made as
a result of its inquiry on the subject of
armor plate. The committee will rec
omend that the secretary Of the navy
shall not be authorized to pay more
than $500 per ton for armor and that
an appropriation of 81, 500. 900 be made to
be used in the establishment Of a plant
in case the manufacturers refuse to ac-
cept this price. The sum is fixed as the
maximum that can be paid, and the
opinion is expressed by the committee
that the price properly could be made
lower. Still, out of Difference to the
secretary and in order not to do in
justice, $500 is accepted as the proper
figure.
The appropriation for the establish
ment Of plant is made purely conditional
upon the non-acceptance by existing
manufacturers Of the price fixed, and
the opinion is expressed that the ap-
preparation will be sufficient for the
purpose. The report prepared by SEN
ator Chandler was amended in some
particulars and as amended will be pre-
scented to the senate within a day OF
two.
