PRICE OF ARMOR PLATE.
Senate Naval Affairs Committee Agree
on $4OO n Ton.

Senate Naval Affairs Committee Agree
on $4OO Ton.
The Senate naval affairs committee to-
day had before them Secretary Long of
the Navy Department, having under con-
sideraticn the subject Of armor plate for
battle ships.
At the conclusion of the meeting the
committee decided unanimously to recon-
mend that the price Of armor plate be
fixed at 500 ton. The committee was
informed that the armor plate manufac-
.turers would willingly accept $i2o per
ton, but it was believed that they would
also accept the lower price.
A proposition to put the price at $i2o
per ton was first considered, but Senator
Tillman moved to substitute 500, calling
attention to the fact that whereas the
naval officials now appear to agree upon
$425 as the minimum price, they had here
tofore in a communication from the Sec
retary to Congress placed the price at
s40O
The recommendation is to cover only the
armor for the three battle ships in coErse
of erection and will not be made at eli
unless assurance is received from the Sec.
retary that the price re recommended VIII be
accepted by the Bethlehem and Carnegie
works.
In the discussion of the question the opin-
ion was expressed that 1t would be neces-
sary either to come to terms with the Beth
lehem and Carnegie people on the price 10 be
raid or to secure the control Of their armor
plants The proposition of the Illinois steel
works was not regarded as practicable for
the present.
Secretary Long was accompanied in his
visit to the committee by Commodores
Hichborn and Sampson. chiefs, respective
ly, OF the bureaus Of construction and re-
in the Recommendation of an allowance OF
$425 Der ton.

Greece, have not these privileges and
Greece cannot be allowed to retain excen
tonal rights which she has SO scandal
oasiy abused. 1t is confidently hoped
therefore, that Europe will have sufficient
sense OF justice not to press Turkey. Upon
this point she is determined not to Weld
and should Europe attempt to impose such
sacrifice by force of arms, the situation
created would be most detrimental TO gem
eral peace. The Turkish population would
inevitably become excited by such injus-
tice, the government could not hold itself
responsible for the grave consequences
which would follow, and the powers would
in the end undoubtedly have cause to de-
plore deeply the result of such actions"
Telegram From the Car.
The telegram of the car appealing to the
sultan to cease hostilities against Greece,
which was couched in the most friendly
terms, is regarded as being very signifi-
cant, as showing the pacific intentions of
the car, while it is also politically i'm
portant in the din of checking German in
fiuence at the Yildiz Kiosk which Influence
has considerably increased since the out
break of the war with Greece. The action
of the czar has had a marked impression
upon the Turkish government, which is
already showing a more conciiatory dis
position, promising the conclusion 1f an
equitable peace.

GRAHAM-MARTIN.

On Thursday evening the First Pres

most representative gathering of the
best social life of San Antonio. The
occasion that brought together this
interesting assemblage was the mar
riage of Miss Ruby Martin and Mr.
Graham, two of our popular society
people. TO the strains of LOhengrin's
wedding march the bridal party en-
tered the church. The ushers who led
the way were Messrs. Sam Bennett,
Amos Graves, Jr, Lieut.. Martin, Smith
and Price. They were followed by the
maid of honor, Miss Ollie Graves, who
preceded the bride. The groom, at
tended by his best an,awaited at the
foot of the altar, where the ceremony
was performed by Rev. \. J. Jones.
The altar was beautifully decorated
with palms and growing plants, and
a lovely bell OF Gala lilies and white
bowers was suspended from an arch
.wined about with smilaX. The BRIDE

FASHIONS AND FADS.

BY summer the modistes say, every
new gown and jacket will be-flat as
to the shoulders and tight as to
sleeves and what big sigh we heaye,
for both fat and thin people have new
err looked so well as when built out
with fluffy puffy sleeves.
Certain flowers. have their rise de-
cline and fall just like everything else.
Violets must give way-the gay vel
low daffdoils are here and they speak
of spring and sunshine.
A new effect in millinery, among the
| first straw hats of the season, Is the
fan Of ribbon.
A little trimmed sailor is looked up
on as a necessity by the young wo-
man who knows how to dress with
taste and consequently correctly.
The miniature fad seems to grow;
pins, watches, lockets, match boxes,
canes, even my lady's bon bon and
jewelry box, anything where there is
the least place for a bit of adornment
is this decorative craze carried out.
Very masculine negligee cheviOt
and linen coats and very huge pun
ties are out bidding for custom, to the
dismay of the ladies.
Colonial handkerchiefs deliberately
embroidered are in vogue; birds and
insects are preferred to floral designs.
Another agonizing fad that has
struck the Paris women are the Slen-
der walking sticks with crooks enam-
eled, and heads ablaZe with jewels,
and they account for this strange
freak of fancy by saying they wanted
something to occupy the hands.
The favOrite stone seems to be am
ethyst. and is even in stick pins and
brooches.
