PLANS FOR AN ARMOR PLANT.
Secretary Long, However, Will Oppose
the Establishment Because
of Excessive Cnzt


New York.-A Washington special
to the Herald says. Plans for the pro-
posed armor-plate plant have been
completed by the amor factory board
They call for an establishment of q
most modern character, fitted with all
appliances necessary for the manufac.
ture of armor plate by the most ad-
vanced processes. The board is now
engaged in preparing specifications for
the plant, which will be completed the
latter part of this week. Il is intend
ed by Secretary Long to issue next
week an advertisement for the plant,
and when bids are received the whole
matter will be submitted for the action
of Congress. The plants calls for the
erection of ten modern buildings, COW
ering about seventy acres of land, al
though, il view of the probable adop-
ton III future of new methods of armor
manufacture, it is intended to include
100 acres in the grounds, SO that exten~
sions can be made.
One building will be occupied ioy an
open-hearth furnace, the board having
determined to adopt this method in
manufacturing steel for the armor
The plant will also be equipped with
presses, rolling mill, an esta olishment
for casting steel ingots, laboratory,
necessary tools and quarters for off
The plant will be capable of turning
out 5000 tons of armor year. Il is
not expected at the department that
bids will be received under $4,000,
900, and some of the members of rhe
board say that il tire Government
secures the plant for less than "a, 900, :.
900 it will obtain good bargain. As
the Herald has stated, there is reason
to believe that Secretary Long, in his
annual report, will oppose the essab-
lishment of the plant, and will point
out that the cost of armor would be ex.
oessive in case the plant is built.

Cure For Mammitis.

A subscriber to an exchange says:
i have valuable COW which has de-
veloped peculiar ailment, and turn
to You for advice. She is seven years
old, and when fresh last time gave
seven TO eight gallons strained milk
per day. Last spring she took sick
suddenly, and, we thought, from some
kind of poison, presumably buckeye.
She was in great pain and had high
fever, seemingly. | doctored her as
best ! could, and in about three days
she had regained her appetite, but
seemed weak in hind parts-more
lame in one leg. Then the fever, or
whatever it was. attacked her bag,
and panied so much that she was con-
tinually lifting her feet. The thick
skin became hard and stood away from
her teats, like leather, and, when
pressed would retain shape. creased
it and finally rubbed with kerosene to
soften. In few days it began to
come from bag and teats and seemed
dead. OF course, the new skin was
very tender and would crack and break,
so that her teats were very sore. She
would not dry up; so / had to milk,
and, as the dead skin got hard, cut it
off. One teat is hardly we'll now. In
about a month or six weeks she began
to get caked inside of udder. / gave
poke root, but her udder finally broke
in two places, as milk was ropy. IL
finally seemed to return to it's natural
state. Then she began to make bag,
and October 18th she had a calf.
Now, the peculiar part of it is that
she has not come to her milk, giving
absolutely nothing, though the swell.
ing is mostly out of her bag and it
seems natural What is the matter I

New Worm Killer.

i w" "oihi
Professor g. W. Childs, of San Jose,
is convinced that great boon has been
discovered for the orchardists of Cali
fornia in the discovery of the use of
bi- ulphide of carbon for destroying
worms in the fruit trees. This chemi-
cal compound has not long since been
suggested as remedy for these great
pests. The ravages of worms in the
orchards of the Santa Clara Valley re-
Gently have been severe, and greatly
and alarmingly interesting. The or
chardists turned about as one to tlnd
some means of combating the evil.
During the summer experiments
with the bi-sulphide of carbon have
been made in small way by various
orchardists. These growers have uni
formly made encouraging reports.
Prof. Childs states, however, that there
have been some fears expressed that
the chemical might harm the trees.
He began course of experiments in n
small way and was SO delighted that
he applied the solution to over 1000
trees. He is even better pleased with
this experiment. In speaking of his
experiments he said:
THE discovery Of the bi-sulphide of
carbon as u remedy for worms is one
of the greatest Importance. But for
the discovery of some means to effect
ually kill the worms the orchardists of
the valley would have been forced to
dig up their fruit trees for they would
have been rendered worthless. The
worms here increased alarmingly and
| do not believe there is an orchard in
this county which il not more or less
affected. In some orchards the injury
was just about to become fatal.
Now believe we are safe. do not
see the slightest injury to any tree on
the place by the solution and yet every
worm is dead in every single instance.
| went so far as to apply the bi-sul.
phide of carbon directly to the body OF
the tree and if this did not hurt them
| think we may rest assured that the
remedy is safe one. +"

TARIEE PROSPERITY.

From the tone OF the eastern Repub
lican press one would suppose that the
long promised era Of prosperity had
followed closely upon the heels OF the
tariff bill. The great dailies devote
columns OF space to interviews and
statements to the effect that prosperity
IL already here. II this were true thers
would be no necessity for 30 much news
paper talk to convince the people of the
fact. Our farmers, laborers and me
chanics would feel its effects; the heels
OF industry would begin to move
strikes, reductions in wages, lockouts
and kindred labor troubles would be
things OF the past. Oh, no, prosperity
has not arrived and the partisan press
may ill every column with argument to
convince the people that it has; but to
no purpose. There is hungry skeleton
sitting on the top OF the smokeless fac
tory chimney that denies the newspaper
reports. The American, in commenting
on the situation says that many of the
interviews in which are promised pros
perity, and are told that trade is i'm
proving. that there has already been
great improvement, have all the ear
marks of being made for effect, made
with q view OF instilling hopefulness
and confidence. And then We should
remember that Ne are given but one
side of the trade picture in these inter
views, and that side an exaggerated one.
Men are not given to rush into print to
announce that their business 10 going
from bad to worse, that they have felt
no increased demand for their products
and see no prospects of an increased
demand. They are rather inclined,
under such circumstances, to respond to
the newspaper inquiries by preparing
interviews at variance with the facts,
hoping thereby to bolster up their
credit. As a result We have much paper
prosperity, though but few men have
felt any true revival. Most men have
felt an aecentuation rather than an al
deviation Of industrial stagnation. That
this is so is shown by the increasing
number Of unemployed, sure evidence
of eurtailment Of production. And that
the unemployed are increasing in num-
bers not diminishing, that the condition
Of the wage-earning classes is becoming
more unbeaTable not ameliorAted, are
facts vouched for by the leaders of or
gained labor in response to inquiries
put to them by the New York World.
All the labor leaders have the same
story to tell.

The silver forces are undoubtedly
gaining strength in the east. A leading
newspaper OF that section says that
desertions from the Democratic gold

rapid rate. and accesSions to the free

thousands. Goldbugism whether OF
Palmer and Buckner and Cleveland

SIXTEEN FISHERMEN,
Adrift in Their Dories, Found Watery
Graves Have Been Picked Up by Some
Passing Steamer.

Adrift in Their Dores, Found Watery
Graves or Have Been Picked Up by Some
Passing Steamer.
PRovINCETON, Mass. May 26.-Of the
10 men of this town who sailed on the
schooner Joseph e. Johnson for the
fishing grounds on the west bank, 200
miles off the Nova Scotia coast, three
men came back on the schooner when
she rounded the point Tuesday morn
ng with her flag at half mast. The
other sixteen are still adrift in their
dories off the western bank, have
found watery graves, or happily have
been picked up by some passing
steamer.
All 16 put off from the schooner early
Friday morning, but the fog that set
tied down over the ocean three hours
later swallowed them up, and then
after three days of waiting it lifted,
but no trace of the men could Capt.
Biers discern from the masthead of the
schooner. Sunday morning, there be-
ing no trace of the boats, course was
set for Provincetown. During this
time the three men on the schooner
were without sleep, and they reached
here nearly exhausted. A number of
old fishermen here are of the opinion
that the men will be seen again, either
being picked up or rowing to the main
land of Nova Scotia, almost 200 miles
| distant.
AS to the prooa bility of the men be-
ing picked up, it is acknowledged that
steamers during this portion of the
year take a more southerly course to
avoid the ice, and the men, when last
seen, were some distance north of the
so-called steamer Lane. Another fish
erman may, however, rescued the
