BUILD AN AhMoa PLATE FACTORY
Coils p. Huntington Expected Il
Erect Ono at Newport
News. Vn.

Newport News, Va, Noy. 2.-Collis
p. Huntington, owner of the sh1pyard
and the founder Of Newport News,
will reach here this morning directly
from the Pncific coast. 1t is believed
his visit is in reference to the pro-
posed extension to be made to the
shipbuilding plant here.
On the occasion of his previous visit
Newport News Mr.. Huntington said
that he contemplated erecting on the
half mile of water front adjoining the
shipyard IN armor plate plant and
ordnance factory. He paid $4,000 for
this piece of property, six months ago,
and it is understood that he is now de-
termined to go ahead with his project.
At present this shipyard manufuc>
lures every pnrt of u warship or a mer>
chant vessel except the rmo plate
and the shell plate. The completion
of the two new plants will enable the
yard to turn out a ship complete. The
new industries would give employ
ment to fully 5000 persons, and with
these the Newport News Shipbuilding
and Dry Dock company would have
yer 10000 men on its pay roll.

Chicago, Oct. 31.-Iron and Steel
will say tomorrow: The unvarying
report among the makers and shippers
of iron and steel is that specifications
are coming in freely. The fact, is the
country is getting on a consuming ba-
sis, broader and deeper than any
precedent. Never before, for example,
have there been purchased SO large
quantities Of copper and galvanized
wire for telegraph and telephone lines
as now. Independent telephone lines
are going up in large numbers. Lines
are %radiating out into the country,
and prosperous farmers are obtaining
telephone service.
Another branch of the industry that
is consuming wire at an unexampled
rate is the bed spring and mattress
factories. 1t is difficult to see where
all the mattresses are going. There
can be nc doubt, however, they are
finding a market. 1t is now seasonable
for some lines to drop off both in point
of activity and prices. Plates, for in
stance, are due to show more modera-
ton and to shrink in value. But they
nre not doing so. As to pig iron, more
is perhaps being used now than a
month ago, OF than.a year ago, or
than any year in the history Of the

Middle of the l,ond Populists Will

Tl,is Year.
Denver, Colo, Nov. 2.-The time al
lowed by the law for making changes
In state tickets expired at midnight.
The middle OF the road populists will
have no state ticket, the court having
decided at the last moment that the
party has no standing.
There are ten state tickets, but only
four candidates for governor. Charles
S. Thomas, democrat, heads the demo-
cratic-people's party; Teller the silver
republican, natural populists and lib
republicans, national populists and lib
erty union tickets; Henry r. Wolcott
heads the republican (anti-Teller) and
western republican ticket. The other
two candidates for governor are Rob-
ert II. Ross, prohibition, and Nike
Elliott, socialist-labor.
Through the decision of the court in
regard to cmblerns the Teller silver re-
publican candidates for the legislature
and county offices In this and several
other counties will appear on the bal
lot under the emblem Of the other fac
ton of the silver republican party,
which has been fused with the repub-
!icans on the state ticket. This fact
will u many silver republicans to
vote the straight republican ticket.

UNIFORMITY OF SMALL ARMS

Washington, Nov. THAT the lat
est improvements in the manufacture
of ordnance may be obtained for fu-
ture men of war, orders have been
given to Commander Pendleton, su-
perintendent of the gun factory, tc
proceed to England and inspect the
methods pursued there in the con-
struction of guns, mounts, torpedo
tubes, etc.
Wire wound guns, which have been
so successfully developed for the En-
glish navy, will be carefully examined
by the visiting Office, and as under
water discharge tubes for to1pedoes
have been adopted for the battleships
Maine, Missouri and Ohio, he will
learn the method of their manufacture
at the ordnance works at Armstrong.
The department has purchased the
right to use the method of manufac-
ture of under water discharge tubes
from the Armstrong; and has also
bought the right 10 S the breech
mechanism of guns built by Vickers
Sons & Maxim.
The 6-inch rapid firing gun built by
the later firm is one of the latest weap-
,ns ofthat caliber constructed, splen-
did record having been made in he
firing trials, which We're held some
time ago. In this gun, powder n
%projectiles are separated, while in the
b-inch rapid firing guns of the United
States navy, shell and powder nre
combined by mean of a cartridge
case.
A 6-inch gun, or plans somewhat
similar to those followed in the con-
struction of the Vickers gun, was re-
Gently built. Tests of this weapon ut
the proving grounds demonstrated It's
value, and all future 6-inch guns will
be constructed on the same lines.
The new type is 45-caliher in length
and weighs eight tons and is designed
for q muzzle velocity Of 1900 feet per
second.
1t is the intention Of the ordnance
bureau to equip no more protected OF
unprotected cruisers with torpedo
tubes, the authorities being well con-
vinced that there is 10 necessity Q
them, but water discharge tubes will
be supplied to armored cruisers and
battleships.
Captain Charles OANelS recommen-
aation thaat uniform caliber small
arms be adopted for use in the army,
considerable attention in army and
navy and marine corps, has attracted
navy circles. It is expected that Score
tary Long will indorse a bill providing
for cooperation in part of the army
and navy to obtain O uniform arm.
The caliber of the Lee small arms in
use in the navy is 1858, while that Of
the Kragg-Jorgensen rifles is 80, and
The army is convinced that the Krag-
Jorgensen rifle is the best for its use,
while the navy asserts that the Lee is
its superior. 1t is not believed any
great objection would be raised by
the navy to increasing the caliber of
It's gun to 80, SO that the cartridges
manufactured for the Lee might be
lsed for the Krag-Jorgensen.

Washington, Nov. 2.-The United
States supreme court today rendered
a decision in the case of the Knights
Templar's and Masons' Life Indemni-
+ty company against G. E. Converse,
which involved to some extent that
clause in many insurance policies as
to freedom of travel by the party in
snred. Payment on the insurance pol
icy was resisted on the ground that
death resulted while the insured was
travelling outside the limits allowed
by the policy. The court of appeals in
the Seventh circuit decided in favor of
the beneficiary under the policy and
the company applied to the supreme
court for a writ of certiorari. The de-
cision today denies the application for
the writ.

Scheme to Secure Naval stations at
Both Ends of Nicaragua

Canal.
Chicago, Oct. 31.-A special to
the Journal from Washington a Y the
state department has discovered q
clever scheme on the part of the Ger
man government to acquire coaling
stations or naval bases in both the At
lantic and Pacific at points where they
Will come in direct conflict with the
interests of this country when the
Nicaraguan canal is built. In this
same connection the department has
also unearthed what appears tt be a
breach of faith on the part of England
toward tho United States in Samoa.
Ever since the death of King Malie-
toa, Germany has been running things
in Samoa apparently independent of
the triple protectorate exercised over
it by the United States, Great Britain
and Germany. Careful investigation
has convinced the state department
that Germany and England have made
a secret compact, whereby the latter
has coded to the former its rights in
Samoa under the p%rotectorate and has
consented, for a consideration, to al
low Germany to utilize the island as
n coaling and naval station.
While this pact between England
and Germany is not an actual viola
ton of the pro~tectorate, it is yet prac-
tically a breach of faith on the part
of England, because, while protesting
the utmost friendliness for this coun-
try, it has given to its rival in the Pa
cific rights which may cause a serious
clash.
Wants tn Control the Canal.
Germany is bent on securing naval
stations as near to the proposed canal
as possible. If it has England's claim
in Samoa it is established at the Pa
cific end. For the eastern end it is
working out n. plan which may give
the state department much trouble to
c~irculnvent. 1t is said that Germany
is trying to secure a naval base at
Santo Domingo. Should she succeed
here the United States, which expects
to build the canal, would find itself
at disadvantage at the outset. Puerto
Rico is to be the American naval base
in the West Indies. 1t is admirably
situated for this purpose, but should
Germany secure a foothold in Santo
Domingo it would be in a better stra-
tegic position for control of the canal
han would this country.
The republic of Santo Domingo is
heavily in debt. Most Of it's bonds are
held in Germany, and the kaiser ex-
poets 10 acquire n naval station by
threatening foreclosure on his bonds.

Snithwced of New York. representing

lie, r holding conferences. Should
it be disclosed that there is no other
way to prevent Germany securing the
coveted naval base, it is highly prob
able that the annexation of Santo Do
mingo to the United States will be
urged. 1t is asserted that annexation
would be a small price for the United
States to pay TO prevent Germany ac-
quiring a naval base at the very mouth
of the canal.
