over your little $1,000 items and let the
million steals go through like creased
lightning"
He said he had convinced himself that
the cost of producing armor plate did not
exceed 5000 per ton. He said, however,
that the amendment had placed the
figure at $4OO because it was necessary
to do so to reach an agreement and they
had in mind also that the bill must run
the gauntlet of the house, where he
said, gag law is in full force and effect
when man, u free man, must crawl on
his belly like worm or fawn like a
whipped cur to get any recognition for
anything" He said they had also
borne in mind that it would have to run
the gauntlet of the moglus of the senate
committee on appropriations.
Mr.. Quay followed this speech on a
motion to amend Mr.. Chambers amend
ment to $3.50 ton. This motion was
lost 16 to 36.
The Chandler amendment, reducing the
price of armor plate to $500 ton, was
then adopted without a division.
An amendment, proposed by Mr.. Petit
grew, to reduce the total of contracts
authorized to So, 407 800 to correspond
with the reduction per ton, was adopted.
The amendment authorizing the secre-
tary of the navy to establish govern
ment armor plate factory, at n cost of
$1,500,000. if he failed to make contracts,
was lost PC to 80.
A prediction was made by Mr.. Thurston
that the striking out of the authority to
the government to build its own plant
emascuiated the action of the committee
in reducing the prices of plate. The
| armor plate manufacturers would refuse
| to make contract at the rate named.
The naval bill was passed at Just mid,

ing that a change of climate will be bene
fetal to the impaired health of himself
and family. Before leaving, however, he
will begin and conduct n ten days pro-
tracted meeting at Georgetown, and then,
after short visit to relatives and friends
at Pullman. ILL.,. he will leave for Cali
fornia. Rev. Mr.. Renshaw of Mount
Pleasant, Ky, has been called to and
accepted the passionate OF the Christian
church here, and will arrive on March

City, will deliver Il free lecture ut st.
Mary's Catholic church of Taylor tOmOr-
row night, March 3, beginning at 7:3O

The revival services which have been
in progress ut the Methodist church in

tinue with unabating interest and will be
protracted throughout the present week.
These meetings, held daily and nightly,
are conducted by the pastor, Rev. II. j.
Duncan. assisted by Rev. Mr.. Hayes of

compished through conversions. reclama-
lions and additions to the church Owing

be accepted, and further ratification by
congress must hereafter be had. There
fore protest against the bill in the name
of the state. l resent the statement that
the settlement should be ratified because
the state is to be considered in the light
of a poor debtor She is amply able and
willing to pay all she justly owes the ren-
eral government, and she also deems her
self competent to adjust any honorable
dispute that may result between herself
and any railway. company included in the
several land grants.
Resolutions passed by the two houses
of our settlement are now in my hands,
and will be returned with my objections
thereto. Until repassed in the manner
prescribed by our constitution it has no
force or effect, even as an indication of
public feeling. This is sent that you may
know that the passage of the present bill
will not be a final settlement of our con-
troversy with the general government.
