Cause of Defective stee, p,.,e.

The special board which examined the
defective steel plates at Newport News
used In battle ships has submitted its re-
port. 1t finds, in substance, that the cause
OF the defects was the too high carbonfza-
ton of the steel and failure to roll the
plates transyersely. The steel, however is
SAID to be superior to the best commercial
steel and to that used in any foreign navy
therefore, the Navy Department has
directed the constructor at Newport News
to use such Of the plates ON hand as he
finds suitable and has provided for a better
inspection at the mills.

president and one Of the receivers OF the
Union Pacific railway. who is convalesc-
ing from a serious illness at his resi-
dence here, was interviewed today on
affairs pertaining TO the road under his
control. He had read the Associate
Press dispatch giving particulars Of the
action Of the senate committee on rail-
roads in Washington. with reference TO
the Union Pacific. and said, regarding
the resolution OF Senator Harris Of Kan
sas. which was reported favorably:
II can only see in this the usual OBJ
structive measure 20 any reasonable
and sensible business-like plan OF set
ting the differences between the gov
eminent and the Pacific roads.
There will never be a better plan Of
settling up the Pacific railway difference
with the government than that suggest
ed in the plan Of reorganization, now be-
fore congress. Il is just, il is equitable.
and what Is OF greater consequence, II
would be settlement tha; would settle.
The country is tired Of the controversy.
The people realize that the government
has an equity, but they admit that il
has been paid, in q general way, in the
form of benefits, ten times the amount
Of the equity.
'It will be a deplorable thing If the
senate's action shall disturb the plan OF
reorganization and foreclosure institut-
ed during the Cleveland administration.
That was the most equitable. the most
sensible and, 1 may say, the most gen
erous proposition that was ever offered
the government for a settlement Of the
Pacific railway problem, and it ought TO
be gladly accepted by the government s
representa- tives. To obstruct 1t now, by
captious resolutions of senate commit
tees AMI other measures which offer
nothing better, is little less than crni-
nal"

GERMANY'S NAVAL NEEDS.
Statement of Vice Admiral Won Holl-
mann to the ReichstaS.

In the German reichstag yesterday dur
ing the discussion or the navy estimates,
Vice Admiral Won Holman, secretary for
the Eavy, said that Germany expected
that in a serious contingency her navy
would prove efficient not only for coast
defense but on the high seas. He con-
tinued: I'VE still require ten cruisers, five
dispatch vessels, two gunhoats, five iron
clads, two monitors, two floating batteries
and twenty-five torpedo boats"
The admiral pointed cut the new inven-
tions since the scheme for the foundato
of the German lazy, in 1873, and detailed
how Russia and France had improved
their fleets adding that the interests of
Germans abroad required consideration.
The discussion was adjourned until
Tue sday.
The effect of Won Hollmann's statement
was to produce general CONSERVATION. Herr
Lieber Taid it was utterly impossible TO
continue the proceedings. the diet had
been asked to vote 32S, 100000 of marks dur
ing the next two years. Il ask he said,
was the secretary of the treasury ac-
quainted with this scheme beforehand?' -
Count Posadowski made no reply.
Herr Lieber, continuing. said: Il ask if
the chancellor, the only responsible official
of the empire, has authorized this an
nouncement?'
Herr Richter discussing the estimates
last night, said that this scheme, together
with the amount asked for the army re-
serves, would involve an increase in the i'm
perial debt of 500,O00,0U0 marks within the
next four years.

Col. Cecil Rhodes continued his evidence
He dwelt upon the relations between Ger
many and the Transvaal, which. he reit-
Grated. he believed indicated a mutual at
tempt to make a treaty. He added that
there was no revolutionary movement at
johannesburg until every effort to secure
necessary reforms had failed.

the colonies, next examined Col. Rhodes.
harshness of the Transvaal laws toward
the Uitlanders.
Col Rhodes gave instances prior to the
movement of 1885. when serious conflicts
were threatened in the Transvaal. adding
that similar outbreak would recur if the
Uitlanders do not get their rights.
Thereupon Mr.. Chamberlain interpoSed,
saying: Il am dealing with the past"

thought the present government of the
South Africa. Col Rhodes said drily:

Further evidence showed that Col. Rhodes
personally paid the fines of the members
of the reform committee of Johannesburg,
amounting to $250.00o.
This completed the examination of Col.
Rhodes.
Two African members of the parliament
of Capt Colony testified that the admins
tration of RhodeSia was impossible by the
imperial government. and that it must be
continued in the hands of the British Char

Notes of the Game.

Shorty Fuller and Ace Stewart are being
considered for the Cincinnatis' short field
in case Corcoran fails to materialize.
Pickering. the sensational centerfielder
of Louisville is said to be good a short
stop he is an outfielder. He may be
needed.
The Brooklyn Club will play 2,-cent ball
the coming season, all reports to the con-
trary notwithstanding. That's what the
admission will be, but from the present
outlook it is a question whether the club
will even get Up into the 25-cent class. But
then. Barnie may fool them all.
Cartwright's condition will astonish the
local fans when he appears in uniform
He must certainly be fifty-pounds under
weight: his belt alone will be eight inches
shorter What baby he would be for
the boys if he would hit up around $50 this
season.
because Corcoran does not sign his Gin
cinnlti contract several papers from the
west are trying to pick flaws in his char
actcr. both on and off the ball field. This
is wrong. Corcoran is d gentleman and is
educated and does not want to be peddled
around among the clubs like a piece Of
pork He thinks he might have been con-
| suited before the recent deal went through.
/ The Boston club will have a novelty in
! the uniform line the coming season. The
| shirts will be decorated by a mammoth
blue circular patch, upon which the word
| Boston will appear in white. The Bean
| caters will look like an assortment of sig
| nal flags.
| Harry Pulliam must have made that
5000 offer for Childs just to cause little
| newspaper furry. He certainly had little
| idea that it would be accepted. Childs, in
| spite of his 200 pounds done up in five feet
| four. comes as near being a S10OD beauty
| as any player in the league. Chiids not
| only pays a great second base, but he
| ''bings EN- out at over BOO clip, and can
| get down to first pretty nearly as fast as
| Eddie Mexican or Jesse Burkett.
| Cant. Bill joyce of the Giants suggests a
| change in base ball playing rules which he
thinks would result in better playing. Bills
suggestion is nothing more or less than tC
| do away with the error column in scoring
| not to keep track of the errors at ALL any
| more than to the number of foul balls hit
| or the number of steps a player takes ir
| running the bases This, of course, woulC
do away with fielding averages. but Joyce
thinks it would result in players making
greater efforts to get everything that came
| their way.
