THE OFFER NOT ACCEPTED.
Secretary Long Refuses to Purchase
BattIeship ArmOr at His Own
Dr5eP-

Washington. July 29.-Secretary Long has
rejected the offer OF the armor companies
to supply the diagonal armOr for the three
battleships, Alabama, Wisconsin and Hi
nois, now building, at a price to be fixed
hereafter by the navy department itself.
The companies made this offer under the
impression that, as the armOr Of this kind
is entirely within the hull and superstruct-
ure of the ships, the failure Of the govern
ment to procure Il would stop the work of
the s~hipbuilders entirely. Therefore, while
they refused to furnish all of the armor
needed at the price fixed by congress. they
undertook to supply the diagonal armor,
leaving the price afterward to be adjusted.
Secretary Long. however, has found that
it will he possible to go on with the work
of building the ships and allow the armOr
to be placed later on. The construction bu-
reau has prOfessed its ability to do this
with as little disturbance Of the ships
structure as would result from placing 4
boiler in the hull. Besides. the secretary
felt that there was a doubt as to his au-
thOrity to commit the government in this
way to an independent expenditure, and as
the act of congress had pointed out the
course to be pursued in the event that the
armor companies failed to accept the price
fixed for armor. he has decided to decline
the offer.

A Shortage in The Eastern Peach Crop.

The Philadelphia Ledger says: The peach
crop now about to be put on the market
promises TO be. from all indications, the
shortest crop produced in this country for
the past eight years, including all the
peach raising districts in the entire coun-
try. recently received from
the peach groWNazp districts Of Maryland
and DeIaware-the two states leading in
the production last ~year-shows that there
will be a great scarcity OF the fruit. Della
ware railroad officials estimate the entire
crop at 800. 600 baskets. The estimate of the
Pennsylvania road is that the crop viii not
be more than o~ne-fourth the yield Of last
summer. When IL is remembered that
from 10000 to 10000 baskets are every
season shipped TO Boston and New YORK
from the tidewater counties or Maryland.
II can be easily seen how great the
slump is.
