TO MAKE ARMOR PLATE
Illinois Steel COmpsy Thinks it Can be Done
at Lorimer's Figure.

Chicago. H.. Feb. 16.-Vice President
Charles II. Foote of the Illinois Steel
company expressed himself freely con-
Corning Congressman Lorimers bill di-
recting the secretary of navy to close a
twenty-year contract with a response
BILE concern to make all the armor plate
needed by the government within that
time at S240 ton, it being understood
that the responsible concern is the ILL
nois Steel company. Mr.. Foote said:
The present rate is over $500. and
there is a neat profit in it at that figure
We can, however. make a satisfactory
profit at the price named.
"Carnesie's Homestead plant and the
Bethlehem Iron Works have been the
sole makers CT armor plate in this coun-
try. OF course, if the government made
a contract with US for twenty years they
would be cut out of the home market,
but they would still have the market of
the world 10 compete in
Would your company seek the other
nations as customers if you began the
manufacture Of armor plate?'
American manufacturers have been
successful in selling in other countries,
and there IS no reason why we could not
be We could offer reasonable figures TO
all the countries that require armor plate
and armorad ships are in demand every
where now The Cretan-Turkish affair
VIII increase the demand.
"Of course. 1t would be necessary for
us TO construct a special plant il we go
into the business. We make ship iron
and heavy plate iron at our works now,
but, of course. nothing nearly so heavy
as armor plate, which runs 10 a great
thickness
NO one controls any patents tha.
would prevent our engaging in the bust
ness, and. as We would have to come I'D
10 government specifications in our
work. We would not think OF going into
the business unless we knew we could
turn cut the work"
Mr.. Foote stated further that IL the
Illinois Steel company were successful in
getting such contract they would at
once enter upon the construction OF
g. SOC. 900 plant, and would have il ready
for the turning out Of armor plate within
a year Such a plant would give employ
ment 10 between 1000 and 800 men.

BIG GUNS BOOM AT CHARLESTON
Target Practice by Day aud a Sharp Look
out by Night.

Charleston, S. c., Feb. 16.-Again to-
day the blockading fleet consumed hun
dreds of tons of powder in target prac-
tica and notwithstanding the continued
inclemency of the weather, the practice
was on the whole satisfactory. The tar
gets were anchored about 10 o'clock this
morning and immediately the vessels be-
gan taking positions for the practice
The booming Of the big Il and S-inch
guns could be plainly heard in the city.
The practice lasted several hours.
The pilots, who were stationed at the
jetties six miles from the city, and the
same distance from the feet, report the
vibrations of their vessels very great.
Upon the discharge of each gun the pilot
boats are lifted and swayed like
cradle with a motion different from that
usually experienced at sea. The sensa-
ton is reported 10 be anything but pleas
ant.
The Marblehead left here last night
for the coast of Florida, where she goes
to relieve the dispatch boat Dolphin, in
watching for Cuban filbUsters. The
Dolphin will return here for the purpose
of assisting the Nesuvius in running the
blockade.
Commander Horace Elmer, OF the sta
ton at New London. Conn, has relieved
Commander Jewell Of the Marblehead. 1t
is understood that the latter will be as
signed 10 the ordnance department, as
he is a steel expert.
The city is rapidly filing up with Wis
itors and hotels are doing good bust
ness. All arrangements have we'll nigh
been concluded for the reception to Sec
rotary Herbert and party, on Thursday.
Committees have been appointed 10 meet
the secretary as well as Governor Eller-
bee. the state officials and the members
of the legislature. who have been invit-
cd to tho secretary's reception.
Washington, Feb. 16-Secretary Her
bert and party will leave here tomorrow
afternoon for Charleston. S. c., 20 wit
