| himself that the cost of producing
armOr plate did not exceed 5000 per
ton. He said, however, that the naval
committee had placed the amount at
$500 because it was necessary to do so
in order to reach an agreement, and

senate committee on appropriation
Mr. Quay followed this speech with
motion to lay Mr.. Chambers motion
to reduce to $500 per ton on the table
The motion was lost-12 to Sc. Those
voting in the affirmative were: Messrs.
Aldrick, Allison, Brice, Cul1om, Gibson,
German, Hale, Hawley, Mcmillan, Muir
ply, Squire and Wetmore
The other amendment proposed by
Mr.. Pettigrew to reduce the total of
contracts authorized to 81, 407, 500, to
correspond with the reduction per ton,
was adopted
The amendment authorizing the sec
retary of the navy to establish a gov
ernment armOr plate factory at a cost
of S1,500,O00 If he failed to make con-
tracts, was lost-26 to so.
The naval bill was passed at Just
midnight and. although Mr.. Chandler
tried to call up the international none
tary conference bill. the senate ad-
journed.
The senate pressed steadily forward
on the appropriation bills during
the session Of the day, making such
progress that no further apprehension
is felt as to the passage Of these great
fiscal measures. The District OF Co.
lumbia bill was passed early in the
day. The naval bill brought out a hot
contest on the price of ar1nor plate
and the establishment of q government
armor factory. The senate committee
had recommended a maximum price of
$400 per ton for armor. Mr. Chandler
endeavored to have the price fixed at
$500. The bill was laid aside at 4:30
?. m. for an executive session.
The naval bill was temporarily laid
aside, and conferences were ordered
on the postoffice and the sundry civil
appropriation bills. Mr. Squire Rep..

that so far as I can see there are
things here that can be explained on
no other theory"
"If the senator dares to say or even
to insinuate such a disgraceful thing,
he says what is untrue and what is
unworthy Of a gentleman" Mr.. Hawley
replied very deliberately and emphati-
cally.
The galleries were crowded, and at
this exchange Of charges, a deep hush
succeeded their buzzing. Senator Till
man was unruff1ed. He thrust a hand
in his trousers pocket nonchalantly.
and looking over to Senator Hawley
coolly returned: ITO that I can only
say it is the CALLED jade that winces'" 1"
Senator Hawley turned pale and
trembled visibly. IF the senator ap-
plies that to me, have a sufficient
answer" he said, angriIy.
Two or three senators gathered
around Senator Hawley, endeavoring
apparently to calm him. Finally. he
walked with them into the cloak room.
while Senator Tillman continued his
speech. II don't want to say anything
harsh" he said. God knows I've got
enough vitric1 in me now"
Going on with the subject Of armor
plate, he said he could see no explana-
tion for the state Of affairs except
that the manufacturers had their
friends in the senate There was proof
that the government was to be looted
to the extent Of two or three millions.
yet I'VE can't help IT.
The trusts had the government down
and their hands in its pockets, yet, If
any one opposed them, If any one pro-
posed that the government do it's own
work, make its own arqnor plate, SEN
ators were quick to bring out the aw-
full specter of socialism. Said Mr. Till
man: 1.-The country's eyes are on us;
we are already disgraeed because we
do not hasten to do the bidding Of
Wall street fast enough. The touch Of
the button between Wall street and
the senate seems to have been broken
somewhat lately, and so the metropol-
ftan press is set upon US to whip US
into line" Continuing, Mr.. Tillman
said there was still a darker page in
the history of the dealings Of the Car
negies with the government. He re-
ferred to the charges of making de-
fective armor in 1894.
"The thieves Were caught" he said,
''but they were released. The secretary
imposed fine but this glorious presi-
dent Of ours, who. thank God, goes out
OF office in two days more, renitted the
fine. And yet In the face Of these facts,
senator with his thin skin gets up
and undertakes to twit me with sland-
er1ng the senate" He lectured the

spoke a few words of farewell. 1t was
with deep feeling that he addressed
the neighbors and friends he had
known so long, and he, as well as
thousands in the crowd, was much af-
tected by the parting. He said:
Ny Neighbors and Friends and Fellow
Citizens: On the eve of departure to the seat
OF government, soon to assume the duties of
an arduous responsibility, as great as can
devolve upon any man, nothing could give
me greater pleasure than Jnis farewell greet
ing-this evidence Of your friendship and
sympathy; your good wiIl and / am sure
OF the prayers of all the people with whom
l have lived so long, and whose confidence
and esteem are dearer to me than any other
earthly honors. To all of US the future is as
a sealed book; but if l can. by official act
or administration, or utterance in any degree
add to the prosperity of our beloved country,
and the comfort and well-being Of our
splendid citizenship, l will devote the best
and most unselfsh efforts of my life. The
assumption of the chief magistracy is of
such grave Importance that partisanship can
not blind the judgment or accept any other
considerations, but for the public good of all
to every party and every section. With this
thought uppermost in my mind, reluctantly
take leave of my friends and my neighbers,
cheTishing in my heart the sweetest memories
and the tenderest thoughts of my old home

after, so long as / live. | thank you and
bid you all good bye.

PITTSBURG, Pa, March 1.-The

AS the train approached Pittsburg,

The drizzling rain which fell during
the short stop had no effect on the
ardor of those gathered to greet the
presidential party. The reception was
apparently so genuine and hearty that
Maj Mckinley was very much graft
fed. Just before the train left the
station the major stepped to the rear
platform and made a short but telling
speech, thanking the cheering crowd
for the greetings, but giving all the
credit of the reception to the wish Of
the people to honor their country
through their representative. Just at
midnight the train again started on

CANEA, March / EvenIng).-The

Later advices as to the capture Of
Candano state that the Greeks first
took the fortress CT VavarOs, which

Athens, March 1.-At a crowded meet
ing of the chamber Of deputies today,
Senor Delyannis announced in the most
positive terms that it was the Turks
who provoked the fighting that led the
fleets of the powers to lombard Canea-
The minister Of marine read to the
chamber the injunctions addressed by
the foreign admirals to the commodore
OF the Greek fleet, forbidding either a
sea or land attack upon occupied fort
resses, or an attack by the Greek fleet
upon Turkish ships or the advance of
Col. Vassos into the interior, and stat
ing that any attempt at evasion Of
these injunctions would be repelIed by
the combined fleets Of the powers.
This created a great sensation in the
chamber. Deputy Seals asserted that
the reply of the Greek government
should have been a declaration of war
The minister OF marine resuming,
said the government had notified the
powers that 1T would be impossible to
/ impose such a condition of inactivity
upon Col Vassos. He stated further
that Greece would use all the means
in her power to prevent the landing
Of Turkish troops in Crete, but would
desist from attacking occupied towns
SO long as the occupation lasted.
Senor Delyannis, who rose again, III
dignantly protested against the bom-
bardment as an unjust, savage and

that there should be none of this.
The crowd about the station was al
most impenetrable and never equalled
before in Canton. 1t was not until q
detachment Of the escort had ridden
ahead and opened the way that the
carriage containing Maj. and Mrs Nc
Kinley could approach the train. AS
the party approached the station, those
on the outside of the crowd sent up 81
cheer. It was taken up by those near
er the train and grew in volume until
it became fairly deafening. The cheer
ing was renewed when the major ap-
peared on the car pla form with Mrs.

WASHINGTON, March 1.-Senator
Tillman provoked a turbulent scene II
the senate tonight when he charged
that the armor plate manufacturers
had their paid agents in that body
who were robbing the government. The
charge was resented by Senator IIaW-
| ley, whereupon Mr.. Tillmln said that
''the CALLED Jade WINGED" and il look
ed for time as though a personal
| conflict was imminent, until Mr.. Haw-
ley was escorted to the cloak room.
Senators Hawley and Squire had spok-
en- against Senator Chambers amend
ment to the naval appropriation bill
to reduce the price Of armor plate to
$500 a ton. and Senator Elkins had
complained of the lack Of information
in the cost of the armor plate, when
Senator Tillman took the floor.
Although a member OF this naval
committee" began Mr.. Tillman, "and,
although 1 have given as nuch time
to this question as 1 could spare from
my other duties, I am not able to give
the senator as much information as he
wants, but 1 am able to say" lie add
ed with emphasis. that no recent ex-
penditure of the government has teen
so reeking.with fraud and so disgrace
full to those connected with it,
Mr.. Tillman declared that when Sec
retary Whitney made the first con-
tracts for armor plate 1t was under
stood that those enormous prices were
to be paid only for a time nd on ac-
count Of the great expenditure neces-
sary to build an armor plate plant.
When last year, under the Impetus of
the Venezuelan war scare, the house
had sent a proposal for four battle
ships to the senate the number had
been fixed at three, because there was
only three yards in the country that
could build such ships. The three COM
panies had agreed upon the prices, had
bid in collusion, and consequently the
government was paying over a million
and a half more for these ships than
was necessary.
Then coming to the e-mor plate
question, he said: Instead Of US con-
trolling the monopolies, the monopolies
have this senate in their vicious pock-
et."
Senator Hawley at this charge half
rose from his chair, as though he would
interpose an objection. then changed
his mind and sank back.
II would hate to say or even insin-
uate," said Mr.. Tillman, continuing,
that these armor plate manufacturers
have their paid agents in this senate" /"
Then Mr.. Hawley rose, beginning:

mouth. II dare to say" he shouted,

Powers at Odds.

LONDON, March 1.-The Daily
Chronicle says there is little doubt
that the serious hitch in the concert Of
the powers is due, first, to the lack Of
wisdom on the part Of the government,
and, secondly, to the wrath Of Emperor
William, who, the Chronicle says,
deeply resents the form Of Lord Sal
isbury's announcement Of the policy
Of Great Britain towards Crete, ea-.
pecially the suggestion that Great
Britain has taken the lead in the con-
cert. Continuing, the Chronicle says:
This indiscretion was enhanced by
MI. CurzCn's most unfortunate speech,
in which he said that the solution
was mainly due to Lord Salisbury.

retaliation, made himself responsible
for the official communique from ST.
