 Washington, Jan. 19.
 Secretary Long, accompanied by Chief Constructor Hichborn, Chief O'Neill of the Bureau of Ordnance and Judge Ad- vocate Lemley, appeared before the Sen ate Committee on Naval Affairs to-day. The Secretary said in response to ques- tions that the Navy Department had pre- pared full plans and specifications calling for an armor plant under the last naval appropriation bill, and that estimates on the cost of land, tools and machinery necessary to equip the plant had been adopted. The bids were to be opened on the 29th inst, and he thought several bids would be made.
 Secretary Long said also that in view of the report of the committee which he had appointed to consider the question of a Government armor plant and its re- port upon the great cost and delay it would involve, he had entered into fur ther negotiations with private arIsor ships, and he believed that he could make a contract for the supply of armor plate for the Illinois, Alabama and Wisconsin, now under course of construction, which would be ready whenever the ships were ready to receive it. at the rate of S400 a ton. The Secretary recommended, in view of the circumstances, that an ar rangement to this effect should be From the secretary's statement, cor roborated by statements from Commo- dore Hichborn and Captain O'Neill, 1t ap- plant properly equipped would be from & 800 900 to S4 800 900.

The Redwood City Jury Speedily Reaches a
 Verdict.
Murder in the First Degree and No Recommendation for
 Mercy.
Must Hang With Winters, His Accom- plice, for the Andrews Murder
 at Baden.
Special Dispatch to The Call.

REDWOOD CITY, Cal, Jan. 19.-It took the jury just one hour this after noon to find c. H. Raymond guilty of murder in the first degree In this case, as in that of Harry Winters, the jury failed to recommend the defendant to the mercy of the court. Both parties are therefore doomed to suffer the death penalty for the murder of c. A. Andrews, who was shot at the Grand Hotel in Baden on the 17th of Novem- Der last.
 Raymond took the verdict in a very different manner from Winters. The latter lost all control of himself and denounced the witnesses who appeared against him as perjurers, liars and murderers, while Raymond appeared wholly indifferent when the jury an- nounced it's verdict
 Raymond, alias Moore, is an old ex- convict. having served a long term in the California State prison and also two terms in the State Prison in Ore gon. Winters is also an ex-convict. The two were well acquainted with each other and the general feeling in this neighborhood is that both have met with their just deserts
 Winters will appear tomorrow morn ing before Judge Buck to be sentenced and Raymond will undergo the same ordeal on Monday next
 Winters took the stand in his own behalf and attempted to prove an alibi. Raymond had no such defense, as he was caught about three hours after the shooting within six or seven miles from the scene of action. The latter introduced no evidence in support of any defense, but relied wholly upon the fact that the identification was incom- plete. The jury though was evidently satisfied as to his guilt, as shown by the prompt verdict rendered. They de- liberated a little longer in the latter case than in the former, it taking them but five minutes to convict Winters In the main the evidence in the case of Raymond was but a repetition o1 that given in the Winters case.

ESCORTED ROYALTY.

George o. Starr and the Prince and
 Princess of Wales, the Princess
 Louise and the Duke of Fife.
 "The Referee" published at the Vic toria House, Tudor street, Whitefriars, London, has the following interesting paragraph concerning that brilliant and popular staff officer of the Barnum & Bailey show, George O. Starr, who is brother of Edward w. Starr, of the firm of Starr & Breed, proprietors of the Grand Opera house, this city:
 "The Prince and Princess of Wales and the Princess Louise and the Duke of Fife visited Olympia on Friday eve- ning,. and, escorted by George O. Starr, inspected the army that does the fighting in the grand spectacle called The Mahdi." They also visited the menagerie and the freaks, and Johan- na, and the baby lions, and the baby incubators, expressing their delight with all they saw, and their wonder at the completeness of the organization. The Prince of Wales asked several questions about the forthcoming pro vincial tour, and was good enough to hope that it will prove successful"

MILITARY TAX BILLS BEING PAID

MILITARY TAX BILLS BEING PAID
 Tax Collector Anthony reports that the payments on military tax bills are coming in better this year than they did last year. About 12,000 bills were sent out, a number slightly in excess of last year. In 1897, 10 per cent. of the bills were paid and the amount re- ceived barely paid for the expense of printing, mailing and postage stamps The outlook now is that more than enough money will be received this year to pay expenses.
 The tax collector has not yet decided what course he will take with delin- quents, but he probably will turn the unpaid bills over to deputy sheriffs for collection.
