WASHINGTON, May S.-Tfe outlooH
today Is considerably brighter for San
Pedro harbor and those who are in .
position to know think that Secretary
Alger will soon advertise for bidA Sem
ator White was seen and eaid that while
he was not certain, he was much more
confident than he had been as to prompt
action on the part ,of the secretary OF
war. A general impression prevails that
the strong pressure brought to bear on
the president, in particular General
Rosecrans' letter of last week, has ex-
cited his personal interest in the matter.
Both Senator White and Senator Per-
kins feel in a measure relieved by the
prospect today, and 1t seems probable
that Senator White Will not have occa-
sion to Introduce his threatened resolu-
ton for statement from the secretary
of war.
JONES STANDS FIRM
The Republican members of the finance
committee failed to report the tariff bill
to the full comrntttec.today'a as exfEz$ted.
Another attempt was made to obtain
the agreement Of the minority for the
immediate report Of the measure to the
senate. Senators Jones, Vest and White.
who were consulted, declined to make
the agreement, stating that whenever .
majority of the committee desired to re-
port the bill they necessarily had the
power to do so. The real difficulty seems
to be in the position of Senator Jones OF
Nevada, and it is evident that the Re.
publican members peter to get the bill
out of committee without his vote. This
turning out to be impossible, 1t IL under.
stood that Senator Jones' demands have
been to some extent gratifed. sena-
tors White and Perkins urged him to
insist on l cent per pound for citrus
fruits and as the situation now seems
he will procure this concession, with ad-
ditional tariff upon borax and soda and
a probable tariff on hides In this latter
demand he ie earnestly backed by Sem

CONGRESSIONAL PROCEEDINGS.
SeLate and House Resumed Work Yesterday.
Capital Punishment Mod fled.

Washington, Jan. 6.-The senate passed
the house bill abolishing the death PEN
atty in a large number Of cases. The
measure is in the line of recent state laws
abolishing capital punishment, and ap-
plies the same principle to federal Of
fenses. although the change Is not ex-
tended to total abolition of the death
penalty. The present laws, which have
come down from colonial times, have a
sanguinary aspect, and prescribe death
for so offenses of various characters.
The bill passed reduces these offenses to
five, namely, treason, rape, murder, and
two cffenses applicable to the army and
navy. In all other offenses hard labor
for so years is substituted for the maxi
mum punishment, and even In cases Of
murder and rape hard labor may be suD-
stituted If the jury states in its verdict
without capital punishment" AS the
bill has passed the house after a long
crusade by Representative Curtis of
New York, and is amended but slightly
by the senate, II is likely 10 go to the
president when the minor disagreements
are arranged in conference.
During the day Mr.. Call (Dem. Fla.)
introduced resolutions calling for infor-
nation as to the condemnation of Ju %
Sanguilly at Havana, to life imprison-
ment, and also directing the secretary Of
state to demand Sanguilly's immediate
release. Mr.. PETER (Pop. Kans.) deliv-
cred lengthy speech In support Of his
resolution for a national commission.
The house entered upon It's work I'm
mediately after reassembling yesterday
by taking up the Loud bill to amend the
laws relating TO second-class mall mat
ter. The whole day was devoted to
general debate on the measure under
special order which will bring the bill
to a vote this afternoon at 4 p. m. The
general provisions of the bill are pretty
we'll understood. Its principal fea-
lures are the denial to the malls or
serial book publications at 1-cent per
pound rates and the stoppage OF the
newspaper sample copy privilege. Mr..
Loud Of California, the author OF the
BILL is Its champion on the floor. and
Mr.. Quigg OF New York has charge OF
the opposition. Those who took part
in the debate yesterday were Messrs.

GREAT PROFITS.
Secretary Herbert Creates a
Sensation In Congress.
Reported That Two Manufactur.

Recommendation to Congress- to Fix Arbitrary
Price For Armos For Vessels.

Washington. Jan. 6.-Secretary Her
bert has transmitted 10 congress MS
reply to provision in the last naval ap-
preparation bill directing him to exam
ne into the actual cost OF armor plate
I 'uur 9IoJ9q ss9ISuoo ol lLodSI pup
1897. and to make no contract for armor
plate for the vessels authorized by that
act until after the report was made to
congress. This provision of the bill grew
out of a heated debate In the house and
senate, in which the main contention
was that the government was paying too
much for armor plates. The report Is a
very important. and in many respects, a
sensational document. The present cost
of armor is $5S3 per ton. MIR. Herbert's
conclusion Is that the cost OF material
and labor is $19S.7O, and allowing for the
cost OF maintaining the plant and the
nickel now furnished by the government
and so per cent profit to the companies.
the net cost to the government would be
In round numbers $400 per ton. The
Carnegie and Bethlehem companies have
both expressed desire to sell out their
plants to the government.
Secretary Herbert in his reply to con-
gress, explains the methods of investiga-
ton he pursued and the difficulties which
beset him. Both the Carnegie and Beth
lehem companies declined last spring to
give the Information, on the ground that
they were not obliged to give to the pub
lie the secrets of their business. q posi-
ton to which Mr.. Herbert took excep-
tlon on the ground that the government
had bound itself not to buy armor plate
abroad, and therefore was entitled to
know whether the prices charged were
reasonable.
panies made statements os the cost of
producing armor, which are severely
criticised by the secretary. Government
experts do not sustain the cost both
companies claim for the erection and
maintenance of their plants.
The secretary further states that there
was an agreement between the two COM
panies to divide the work of making
armor plate. and that European govern
ments got the same plate from these
companies much cheaper than we did.
Both companies have already been re-
paid the cost of their plants.
1t is apparent from Secretarys Her
bert's statement that these companies
have been making enormous profits. 1t
is recommended that congress fix price
for armor plate, which would give the
maker profit Of $50 a ton, which would
save the government 100000 on each
warship built. If these companies should
refuse to make contracts at the price
fixed by congress, the secretary recon-
mends that armor plants be erected or
bought or leased If this were done bet
ter results would be obtained
