An act passed by the last congress
limits the maximum cost of armor plate
for government vessels to $500 per ton.
On the recent call for bids for supplying
plate for numbor of proposed new yes
sells, only one bid was received. That
was conditional one from the Illinois
Steel company, which the secretary of
the navy decided he could not accept.
Senator Chandler proposes, BY way of
thwarting the armor plate combine,
that the government seize the Carnegie
and Bethlehem plants, under condem-
nation proceedings, which he claims il
has the right to do.

Fitz May Fight Again.

New York, April 13 Martin Julian
arrived in this city to-day He said:
1--WE have never stated that Fitzsim-
mons retired from the ring, or that he
would not fight. If any new aspirants
come forward and good purse is offer
ed Fitz will not shirk fight. He has
never been a shIrker. The talk of Kid
Mccoy challenging him is all non
sense. Why, FItz taught him all he
knows"
Speaking of Brady's threat to chal-
lenge FitzSImmOns to another fight,
Julian is reported as saying:
BRADY is not such fool as to at
tempt it and Corbett has no particular
desire to meet Fitzsimmons again"

seven rooms on the second floor of the Hotel
Champlain annex, connected with the main
building by corridors. The rooms are the
finest in the house, and have been especially

e!er, and suffered no material fatigue from
the Journey. The president has appeared in

weighing machine, where he tipped the scales
at 191 pounds.
The president had few callers today. Gen.

state of Vermont, with handsome offerings
of flowers for the ladies of the presidential
party. Gen. Peck extracted a promise that
the president would visit Burlington next

Gently appointed United States minister
to Costa Rica Nicaragua and Saliva
dor, persona non grata. The United
States has not yet officially recognized
the Greater Republic of Central Ameri-
ca and Capt Merry was named as
minister to Nicaragua alone of the
three states in the Greater Republic.
The Central Americans evidently intend
to receive no one but minister accred-

department officials are very reticent
upon the subject of the objection
which has been lodged against the
reception of Capt. w. L. Merry, of
San Francisco. as United States min
lister to Nicaragua, Costa Rica and
Salvador, to succeed Lewis Baker. The
matter is now engaging the attention
of the officials, and it is expected that
within a few days such representa-
tions will be made on our part to
the country concerned as may induce
them to abandon their objections to
the selection of Capt. Merry. 1t is pos
sible that the objection is not so much
on account of the manner in which he
has been credited to the three coun-

der the foreclosure proceedings insti-
tuted against 1T by the United States
were passed upon by Judge Walter
Sanborn, in the United States court
here this morning. There was no OBJ
lection to the entrance of the Ames-
Dexter decree, and, after a few cor
rections had been made in the printed
copy of the decree, it was passed upon
by the court. The entrance Of the
government decree drew forth a vigor-
Gus debate between ex-Gov. Hoad-
ley, special counsel for the United
States, and Winslow S. Pierce, counsel
for the reorganization committee The
debate was upon the right of the court
to reserve to the United States all
rights Of the government not express
ly stated in the decree. It was decided
IN favor Of the government. The up
set price under the first mortgage will
be $5O,637 ,455. Judge William B. Cor

main line, the 1,034 miles of road from
date branches in this city. The date
OF sale will not be fixed until twenty
days shall have expired, the court CIV
ing that much time to the Union Pa
cif1c Railway company to redeem the
property. The date of sale and other
matters connected with the sale will
be fixed by Judge Cornish. Similar
DEGREES will be entered in Council Bluffs
and later in the states of Wyoming.
Colorado, Utah and Kansas. The en-
trance of the DEGREES of sale drew to-
gether an assemblage of as many
prominent judges, attorneys and coun-
selors as ever met in Omaha. Judge
Sanborn sat on the bench with Judge
Munger, and passed on the DEGREES.
The government was represented by
ex-Gov. Hoadley, of Ohio, now of New
York city, and by Gen. John Cowen, of
this city. Winslow S. Pierce. of New
York city, said to have evolved the
scheme of reorganization of the Union
