The United States government now has
on hand three hattleships which it will be
unable to complete on account of the re-
fusai Of the armor plate manufacturers TO
furnish plate at the price fixed by the
congressional appropriation. The Alabama.
the Illinois and Wisconsin will remain In
q condition OF arrested development, ard
the contractors having these vessels in
charge will receive from the government
heavy additional pay for the delay caused
them by the failure OF the government 10
deliver the armor plate as needed.
The situation is briefly this: The Carne-
gle and the Bethlehem companies each put
In plants for the purpose of supplying the
government with iron armor plate; the
plants costing in the neighborhood of
s2.eo,so each. There was an implied con-
tract with the government when these
plants were pat In that these companies
should have the sole right to supply needed
armor plate az q fair price. The average
cost TO the government of such plate as
has already been furnished was SOS per
ton.
Congress in July OF last year in proviso
10 the naval appropriation bill required
the secretary of the navy to examine into
the actual cost OF making armor plate and
report the same 10 congress, with the fur
ther proviso that no further contracts for
armor plate should be entered into until
after that report was made.
A fail examination and investigation was

tary Herbert to congress followed. This re-
port asserts that tho total cost of the labor
and material in ton of douhle-forged

allowance OF 10 per cent. for losses in man.
ufscture. was $9I.5S. He recommended that
the armor makers ought TO receive sioa per
ton, on account OF the heavy cost Of the
original plants, which vera useful for no
other purpose. and because that amount, in
his Judgment, was 30 more than sufficient
to AFFORD them a fair profit. Congress ac-
csptea the figures vi the report. but re-
fused TO allow more than $50 per ten for
future deliveries % aFmor plate. although

Gov. DAILY is TO be most sincerely con-
graduated upon the phenomenal advance
of his boom. Never before in the his
tory of the State has a candidate for
the Chief Magistracy achieved, twelve
months before nervousness, the honor of
an out and out nomination by so inhu-
entail and important an organization as
the State LIQUOR Dealers Association.
The Cows reception and nomination by
the assembled thirst-curists in Greenville,
yesterday, was not a mere success, not
a commonplace victory. 1t was an Ova-
ton. That it is bound to result in he
triumphant election of the Gov. in No
yember, 1898, nobody who has watched
tie recent course of State politics can
doubt.
With silver as a basis to stand on, with
defiance as a weapon to flourish at the
Federal courts and the G. o. p, and
with the liquor dealers of the State to
hold up his hands, what doubts or fears
can invade the heart of William? His
triumphal car sweeps over the PROSTATE
forms of his foes, and it only remains
for the rest of US to scramble on the
band-wagon as fast as we can.

LIGHTNING FIRES A FAIR BARN
Two Men Who Were Sleeping In the
Barn We're ArOuaed hy n Horse.

Lightning struck an old barn on the
New Jersey State Fair grounds at
Waverly yesterday morning and set it on
fire. The flash came at four o'clock, and
nearly an hour later two men who were
sleeping in the barn discovered that the
hay overhead was burning. They We're
James ]. Clancy, owner of the trotter
Miss Knox, and his groom, Frank En-
right. Mr.. Clancy had asked to be as
signed to the barn with his man on the
night before, and previous to tina the
structure was unoccupied. Both men were
aroused by the crash of thunder which
followed the flash of lightning.
They said that they smelled an odor like
sulphur, but did not think that the barn
had been struck and went to sleep again.
They were again awakened by the paving
and snorting of the trotter and then
smelled smoke. After getting Miss Knox
and her ~trappings out of the building they
found that a hole large enough to admit
a mans body had been bored through the
roof n that the hay in the loft was on
fire.
The fire spread through the northern end
of the grounds until it had destroyed four
stables and a big cattle display shed. The
loss is $1,000, and it comes at a bad time,
as the fair opens next week.
