GOVERNMENT ARMoR PLANT.
Advantages Of the south for such n
Factory.

WASHINGTON, September IA dele
cation of representatives from the large
iron sections to-day went before the
Naval Board, which is considering the
question of establishing n government
armor-factory. and urged that the South
offered the greatest advantages, In cost
of iron, labor, transportation, etc, Tor
a government armor-plate factory. The
delegation was made up Of Pension-Com-
missioner III. Clay Evans, OF Tennessee,
and Representatives Wheeler, OF Ala
bama; Livingston, of Georgia, and
Gaines. Of Tennessee. IL was stated
that the iron used by the large private
concerns now making armor-piate was
bought TO a great extent from the South,
at the low price of $40 to $50 per ton.
1t way argued also that an inland armor-
factory in the South would be more Sc
cure from attack in case OF war than
one near the Atlantic coast in the North.
Letters favorable TO the southern in
dustry were presented from Senators
Platt, of New York, and Stewart, or
Nevada, and IL was stated that Senator
Chandler, of New Hampshire, who has
taken leading part in the plan Of
government factory, had written let
ter favorable to its establishment at
Sheffield Ala.
The delegation filed a written state
ment setting forth the many advantages
of the South.
Commodore Howell, president OF the
board. called attention TO the fact that
the board could not, under the instruc-
tons of the Navy Department, go into
the question of the locality of the site.
Representative Livingston and others
made the point that such information
was what Congress desired. and that
the scope of the boards orders should
be enlarged. Accordingly, the delega-
ton. accompanied by Commodore Howell,
went before Assistant-Secretary Roose-
welt.
Representative Gaines said, after the
hearing was over: "Mr Roosevelt gave
us decided encouragement. He said 10
Commodore Howell that he wished the
Armor Board 10 visit the iron-pro-
ducing sections of the South. lie also
said ne would recommend TO Secretary
Long that the powers OF the board De
broadened. so that they could investi-
gate and report on sites for plant, IN
addition to their present duties.
commodore Howell suggested that IL
would be impractcable just now to IN
terr,lpt the work OF compilation, IN
which the board was now engaged put
said that they would undertake trip
south when the work on hand was COM
pleted." .

MEETING OF THE CABINET.
Pacific Railway Matter-The Wood
Casc-ReIief for KIOndikers.

WASHINGTON, September A-Great
interest attached to the Cabinet meeting
to-day on account of the various I'M
portant questions which are pending and
the fact that it was the first meeting for
some weeks. Every member OF the Cabi-
net. except Secretary Long, who is in the
country reached the White House
promptly at II o'clock, and each had with
him an unusually large number or papers
and documents relating TO matters pehd-
ing in his department
The early mart of the session was de-
voted to the consideration Of the Union
Pacific railway question, presumably tne
advisabllity Of taking an appeal from ths
decree of the United States Court at
Omaha for the sale of the property uhder
the foreclosure proceedings.
The cvil-service decision in the Wood
case and it's effect on the law was also
informally talked over. Neither the cis-
eliminating section CD OF the tarin act
nor the Cuban or Hawaiian question was
mentioned at the meeting.
Though there was very full discussion
Of the Union Pacific railway matter, IL Is
learned that no decision was reacned as
10 the course to be pursued by the gov
ernment and IL Is presumed that no an
nouncement will be made regarding II un-
Ill definite conclusion Is reached
Secretary Alger brought up the klondike
rush, and adverted TO the probable neces-
sity Of relief measures for the dement, Oh
Americans who have rushed heedlessly
into the gold fields. but the discussion OF
this matter was very informal and fruit-
less Of results.
Secretary Alger laid before the CaDlnet
several kilograms urging relief for strick-
en- prospectors. including one from
citizens committee Of Tacoma, repre-
senting that distress existed already at
Dawson City. stating that starvation had
begun. and praying that a revenue cutter
be sent with supplies to st. Michaers.
and the chances taken or getting tnese
supplies 10 those who needed them.
From the discussion It was evident that
the Cabinet was not quite clear that the
government authorities had warrant or
law for furnishing such supplies, but Sec
retary Alger telegraphed TO Senator Per-
kins. of California, who is Interested in
line 10 Alaska. asking him II he would
undertake to deliver shipload OF sup
niles AT ST. Michaers. II il be found that
The law will not permit the government
to send supplies, then relief will be fur
nished by private persons In order that
distress may not grow out OF the rush
for gold.
