concerning the probability of the gov

business. The very great difference be-
tween the price of armor plate sold 10
the government and the reported price
of sales In Europe by the same firms
has caused the navy department to in
stltute an investigation as TO the cost
OF this plate, and has also created talk
OF the government making its own ar
NOR plate,
Congressman Danford does not be-
lleve the government is going into that
business, but he Is ready and willing to
attract the attention of the committee

The explosion came just as three cars
were almost in the centre of the space
at the corner. They were lifted with
a frightful roar into the air. and fell
back upon the track and broke in
halves.
Within a few minutes the emergency

BRADLEY AND HANNA.
Sadly at Odds Over the Senatorial

Louisville, KY, March 4.-Governor
Bradley and Mark Hanna are at odds
about the senatorial question. The fol-
lowing telegram, which was sent from
Frankfort this afternoon, is self-ex-
planatory:
Hon. Mark Hanna. Arlington, Wash
ington:
Il stated to the Commercial Tribune
more than two months ago that no ses-
sion would be called until March 4.
told YOU that a session would be called
Immediately after that date, hence
your dispatch today asking me to call
session Immediately is unwarranted.
The session will be called tomorrow
and that act will be influenced alone
by what 1 believe TO be for the best
interests of the public.
The governor declined to make Han
mas telegram public and he would not
taIs about the matter.
A zked what time he would set the
for the extra session. Governor Bradley
said with some warmth that he would
do as he id pleased about the date.
A friend of Governor Bradley's gave
the following details of the executives
difle ence with Hanna.
MIR. Hanna was made to believe that
Governor Bradley intended to appoint
a senator. and then fail TO call the ex-
ira session all to beat Congressman
Hunter who wants to be senator. First
came Il dispatch from Hanna advising
againsf an appointment, but in favor
of an immediate session The governor
replied courteously, but went on and
prepared the appointment of Major a

The governor is said to be very angry
over Hanna's telegram today.

McKinley's Inauguration Said to Be
the Cause of it All.
Havana, March 4.-Captain General
Weyler arrived here at o'clock this
afternoon on the transport Legazpi
from Caibarien, province of Santa
Clara. He was accompanied by the
members of his staff.
The arrival of the party was not ex-
pected so soon, and when the signals
on Moro castle announced that the
Legazpi was to the eastward bound in.
the news spread rapidly and caused
somewhat of a sensation among the
Spaniards, who could not imagine why
the captain general should have hur-
ried to reach Havana.
General Weyler landed at the Muelle
de Calabria, which is but short dis
lance from the palace. Here he was
received by the Marquis de Ahumada,
who has been acting in his stead dur
ing his absence, and other authorities.
There was no great crowd present and
the scene was vastly different from
that which characterized his return
from the '-pacification" of the province
of Pinar del Rio. Instead of riding
through crowds of cheering admirers.
he walked from the waterside TO the
palace, where he soon retired to his
apartments, without having received
any popular welcome. This was due.
perhaps, to his unexpected arrival,
which did not allow of any official
preparations being made 20 welcome
him. No reason is given for General
Weylers return to Havana. 1t is well
known that his campaign in MatanZas
and Santa Clara has been an igno-
minious failure, and while he was
claiming to have compelled the in
surgents to retreat eastward to Puerto
Principe they had, in fact. lodged past
his columns and pursued their way
westward 1t is thought that the
