These conditions Mr.. Winder and 9TH

spirit of compromise be shown on part
of the directors, he will, l am told, drop
the matter. Mr.. Winder was willing to
accept the conditions suggested in the
Governors letter to the directors, but
the above, he thinks, render it impossible
for anyone to now make such an invest
ment profitable.

Coming Congress-.

Washington, d. c., Sept. 22.-The
armor factory board made a visit of in
spection to the large plant of the Mary.
land Steel Company at Sparrow's Point
yesterday, with a view to ascertaining
what advantage it offered for the manu-
facture of armor for naval vessels. The
members left here in the morning at 10
O'Clock and returned in the evening at O
o'clock, well pleased with their visit
They were well entertained and were
loaded with arguments in favor of the
establishment OF government armor
factory at Sparrow's Point. The MEM
bers of the board who made the trip
were Commodore Howell, Civil Engineer
Endicott, Lieutenant Fletcher, Lieuten-
ant Chamber and Mr.. Deknight. Captain
Mccormick and Chief Engineer Perry,
of the board, are in Bethlehem, Pa, at
present
Within the next few weeks, probably
the latter part of November, the board
will make a tour of the South and will
visit the steel works at Richmond, Bir-
mingham and at other points. At present
the board is engaged in considering the
cost of the establishment of an armor
plant and will make it's report on that
point by December 1. The question Of 10
cation will be subsequently considered
Its consideration will necessarily include
a trip to the steel producing districts of
the South. The board has already i'm
spected the steel plant at Bethlehem, the
Carnegie works and the plant of the IL
linois Steel Company of Chicago. The
question is a big one, and will undoubt-
edly come up in Congress at the coming

refugees comfortably situated. This
morning wagonettes went down to the
italian quarter and hauled out to the
camp large number of people, At first
the Italians. many of whom were unable
to speak English, were decidedly mutt
nous and declined to enter the vehicles,
but the italian consul and number OF
policemen soon convinced them that it
was to their iterests to go to the camp of
detention, and they finally yielded. 1t is
expected by tomorrow night there will
be couple Of hundred refugees in camp.

created comment among the other steer

that they were sent there for the pur
pose Of forcibly resisting annexation if
necessary. Rumors Of the presence Of the
