NEW ARMoR PLATE DECISION.
Government May Escape Royalties to
Steel Companies.

Washington, jan lit is ascer-
tanned at the navy department that the
decision Of the patent office experts
recently submitted in the matter of the
patents for the Harveyized armor plate
may result in the Withholding OF the
payment OF further royalties on plate
furnished by the large steel companies
The question submitted by Secretary
Long to the patent office was whether
the employment of a temperature above
that Of molten cast iron is an essential
feature Of the Harvey patents. and the
experts reached the conclusion that
such heat was an essential feature OF
the device. The navy department ar
NOR plate experts are of opinion that
the highest temperature is not essential
to the obtaining Of the most satisfac-
tory ce-hardening plates. The use
of temperature not quite so high as
that covered by the Harvey process is
not regarded by them as an infringe
ment of the Harvey patents

Of international law is based on the fact
that nations have mutual interests; that
they must have relations with one another.
Cut on from Europe and Asia, America
would be ruined. Its interests had grown
Immensely during the past ten years ga
China, and with a canal across the 18TH
mus 1t would reach enormous proportions.
He contended that the interests of Amer
lea and not only England, bu. Canada,
Australia and all other English speaking
countries, are mutual 1t was a humanitar-
ian interest.
1T is charged he added, that England
mas always maintained a 1pi'cv OF grab,
and do not propose to whitewash the past
or 10 make apologies, but such Is not the
policy OF England today. III it Were she
Wouiu De doomed TO ruin. III Is too small
too narrow policy. As Lcrd Salisbury
said recently. all he desired to do now was
TO preserve freedom of trade through
out the world, that all may NEE, in hus,-
ness intercourse upon a plane CT equality,
as friends instead of foes. That is the
policy of England today
England feels a. America feels toiay
LOT humanity. So l maintain hat 4 Is for
the best interests of England AMI America

shouid justly fail. Rome fell bee mise NJ
