senate Committee Issuea an Ultimatum
TO Manufacturers.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 1O.-The senate
committee on naval affairs reached u
conclusion on the report to be made as
a result Of its inquiry on the subject OF
armor plate. The committee will rec.
ommend that the secretary of the navy
shall not be authorized to pay more
than $500 per ton tor armor, and that
an appropriation Of 81, 500, 900 be made
to he used in establishment of plant
in case the manufacturers refuse to &C.
cept this price. ...
The price of $500 is fixed as the max
imum that can be paid, and the opinion
is expressed by the committee that tho
price properly could be made lower.
Still. out Of Difference to the secretary,
and in order not to do injustice, $500 is
accepted the proper figure. The appro-
priation for the establishment of gov
eminent plant is made purely condi-
tional upon the non-acceptance by
existing manufacturers of the price
fixed, and the opinion is expressed that
al appropriation Of 81 ,500.0OO will be
sufficient for the purpose.
The report prepared by Senator
Chandler was amended in some partic.
ulars, and as amended will be present.
ed to the senate within day or two.

Los ANGELES, CAL. Feb. lO.-A dis
patch has just been received to the ct.
feet that the westbound Santa Fe train,
due ut Los Angeles at 10 80 p. M. was
held up and robbed by two masked
men, near Nelson, a small station about
six miles east of Peach Springs, A. l..
One Of the robbers was killed by the
express messengers. %a
The train robbers stopped the train
by signalling. and as the engineer
stepped out of the cab to ascertain tho
cause Of the trouble, an armed masked
man commanded him to cut the engine
and run ahead a quarter Of q mile,
whiyh he did. The robbers then
turned their attention to the mail car,
their command to open the door being
complied with. One robber entered
the car and began picking up the loose
registered packages. The robber started
for the express car then, but Messenger
Summers quickly opened the door and
with extraordinary GOODNESS, shot the
robber dead. The other man then es.
capped, taking with him few reg sstered
packages. The dead robber was taken
to Peach Springs, but has not yet been
ideIitified

REFUSED THEIR CONSENT.

Ambassadors at Constantinople Object to
Turkish Troops for Crete.
LONDON, Feb. l0.-A dispatch to The
Times from Constantinople says that
the ambassadors appear more hopeful
and confident that the insurrection ON
the Island of Crete will speedily sub.
side. The representatives Of the pow.
srs at Constantinople are averse to Civ.
ing their consent to the despatch of
Turkish troops to Canea as desired by
Abdul Hamid, the sultan, and the
porte. therefore, will not send the
Turkish warships and q transport to
the Island of Crete for the present.
The Athens correspondent Of The
Times in a dispatch announces that he
is empowered to assert that there is
full accord between the king and the
cabinet upon the subject Of the Cretan
policy. The Athens correspondent also
asserts that during the uproarious de-
hate in the legislative chamber the op.
position urged the government to take
. stand on the matter of the union Of
Greece with Crete at all costs.

GREECE CAUSED 1T.

That Country's Ambition Responsible for
the Troub. 81 In Crete.
LONDON, Feb. 10.-Private and Off.
eial advices and private letters from
English officers show that the troubles
in the island Of Crete are undoubtedly
caused by Greek agitators, and that
the Christians are undoubtedly the
aggressors. The Greek government,
Ielieving that the end of the Ottoman
empire is near, thinks the time oppor.
tune to carry out the long cherished
desire to annex the island Of Crete.
Public officials here and on the con-
tnent regard the situation as serious
and as threatening the peace of the
whole of Europe.
In the event of a collision between
Turkey and Greece, it is doubtful
whether the entente Of the powers
could be maintained. The papers
everywhere urge the powers to bring
pressure to bear upon Greece In order
10 prevent her further aggravation OF
TurkoY.

Particulars.
WASHINGTON, Feb. !O.-Consul Gen.

of Sylvester Scovel, the New York
World correspondent in Cuba. He
SAWS that Scovel was arrested on the
train between Tunas and Sancto Spir.
titus and brought to the latter place,
where he is at present. Acting Cap"
tain General Ahumada, who gave this
information to the consul general lndl-
Gated that the prisoner probably would
be tried at Sancta Spiritus, although
General Lee was endeavoring to have
the case transferred to Havankr where
he would have better opportunity to

Will Prevent Any but Tariff Legislation
ut tho Extra Session.
CHICAGO, Feb. lO.-The News Wash.
ington special says: Speaker Reed, it
is said, will forestall legislation other
than tariff at the extra session by ap.
pointing only two committees-those
ON ways and means and on mileage
and reserving the appointment of other
committees till the regular session.
While the action is unprecedented,
members say it would be legal, as con-
gross has frequently gone on for weeks
before the speaker announced the COM
mittees. Speaker Reed considers that
the extra session should deal with only
two subjects-the tariff bill and mile
age of members. Other measures
would therefore fall fiat as soon as in
troduced for want Of proper reference.
Many members say the course is too
arbitrary, even for Gar Reed to enter
upon. and smacks Of one.man-power,
but the speaker intimated not long ago
to member of the house the probable
ity he would take such course.
