LONDON, May Am enormous
crowd Of people gathered in the vi
cinity of the Cannon-street Hall here
today in the hope of hearing Cecil
Rhodes address before the meeting of
the Chartered British South Africa
Company. Thousands were refused
admission. When Mr.. Rhodes arrived
he was greeted with tremendous cheer
ing.
Mr.. Rhodes, addressing the meeting
of 1000 persons, took an optimistic
view of the pastoral and mineral fu-
ture of Rhodesia. Referring to his
visit to Berlin, Mr. Rhodes said that
the agreement for carrying the tele-
graph lines through German territory
was effected through the kindness of
Emperor William, who, whatever
might have been his feelings respect
ing certain little incidents which had
resulted very unsatisfactory to Mr.
Rhodes, was still a broad minded man.
(Cheers.)
an agreement with the Government of
Great Britain respecting the proposed
guarantee for the projected Cape Town
Railway, Mr.. Rhodes said that the d-
rectors proposed to raise $4,000, 900
($15,000,000) by the issue of bonds
bearing per cent interest, and with
this money to build the remaining $50
miles northward. The millionaire, AL
fred Belt, had offered to take e500,0 900
if Mr. Rhodes took G 100000 The Gov
eminent had failed the company in
this matter, but the commercial in
stincts of the city had carried them
through. (Cheers.)
The loan scheme proposed by Mr..
Rhodes was approved by the meeting
on show of hands.
Mr. Rhodes referred to the fact that
the tender for the construction of 250
miles of Rhodesian railways had been
made from America, and added: 81
found by far the lowest tender was an
American firm. Carnegie's bid, fortu
nately, was not in order, so we were
able to give it to our own people," This
statement was greeted with loud
cheers.

TONS OF PLATE
Amount Required VIII
Cost Millions.
Above $4,000 Tons-Eor Monitors
and attleships-Has Been
Call for BIos

! The Secretary OF the Navy, says the
Army and Navy Journal, has issued a
circular advertisement for bids for
armOr. intended for the battleships
authorized last summer, the four mon
itors provided in the same act, and the
| battleships and armored cruisers in
cluded in the naval act of this winter
Armor is now required for six battle
ships, four monitors and three heavily
armOred cruisers. The Navy Depart
ment will consider the most advan-
tageOus terms presented by any firm
capable of manufacturing armor meet
Ii ing the Governments requirements 1t
may be recalled that the two leading
armor concerns declined to bid two
years ago when the limit of price had
been fixed at $500 a ton, and under the
stress of war eXigencies Congress adj
vanced the limit of price to $500 for the
armor of ships then under construc-
ton and for those authorized by the
act OF July, 1898.
Armor for the battleship Maine and
her sister vessels, Ohio and Missouri,
and the four monitors Tor which the
price is fixed at $500 a ton Will amount
to about 10000 tons and in addition to
this at least $4,000 tons are required
for the three battleships and the three
armOred cruisers authorized last win
| ter making a total of about a, 900 tons,
representing in value nearly $9,000,000.
| This armOr, under the advertisement,
must be delivered within from one to
three years and the fact that the per-
| iod covered is so great may constitute
an inducement, it is thought, to the ac-
| ceptance of a contract. The ballistic
requirements will be those expected to
be met by armor manufactured by the
Krupp process, and while it is not
specified that the armor shall be of this
variety, it is not probable that any can
be supplied that does not come up to
its standard. Never before in the his
tory of the new navy has the Govern
ment issued a call to armor firms for
supplying so immense q quantity of
plate and the amount involved equals
the cost of all armor supplied the navy
until within about three years ago.
Should none of the present armor firms
or other manufacturers be willing to
develop their plants so as to render
them capable of manufacturing salts
factory plate and submit acceptable
bids, the whole question must neces-
sarily go over to Congress for recon-
sideration.

Ihe FISH is commonly known as the stir

habit of tapering down TO point at the

razor edge. The fish bury themselves in
the soft mud along the shore, ami when a

The stingaree net only greeted the army
of invasion at the shore but pursued IT

as to your veracity he may insinuate that
you are dreaming, or that your pipe is
out" If he wanted you to infer that he
had been locked up in the guardhouse by

probably say that he had been ''cooped in

dier inform a civilian that his bunkie was

would probably be misunderstood. His
meaning would be that his tent mate had

THE RIGHT OF WAY.
Railway Questions to BE Settled in
EIlicOtt City.

Ellcott City, Md, Jan. 17.-Chief En-
gineer Daniel b. Banks and his assistant.
Mr.. c. p. Matlock, of the Consolidated
Railway Company, were in'conference here
yesterday with Mr.. Allen Dorsey, superin-
tendent of the Frederick turnpike, relative
to the right of way for the railway on the
pike through Ellicott City and extending
TWO miles west from the Patapsco Bridge.
Two tracks are TO be laid from the present
terminus of the railway here on the east
side of the river, crossing the river on
steel bridge already in course OF erection
and occupying the bed of the pike. which
is the main street in Ellicott City, to a
point near st. Johns Church, where the
terminus is to be located.
The narrowest part of the pike in this
town between the pavement curbs was
found to be twenty fSat. The engi
neers stated there would b. no difficulty
| in occupying the street with double tracks
at the same time allowing passageway for
the biggest loads of hay and straw hauled
on wagons. AT most of the stores that line
| the street, they said. wagons could find
! room TO stand side TO the pavement without
blocking the running of the cars.
| 1t was stated that it remained only for
! the turnpike and railway people to agree
| upon the price to- be paid for the right OF
tracks would proceed. 's Mr. Dorsey, it was
said, asked $4,000 for-the use OF the pike
as far as St. Johns. and on this point is
J the only difficulty between the railway and
| turnpike companies.
| II seems from an examination of the
charter of Ellicott City and the charter
| rights of the turnpike company that this
| town has no sovereignty over the turnpike
| within the town further than the exercise
| of police regulations. For this reason, ii
| is stated, the town authorities, through the
mayor and city council, cannot intc!pcse
objection TO the coming of the railway
| or the laying of double tracks should they
object in any manner 10 the proposed rail-
| way extension. st.7s
| A new schedule on the Ellicott City troll
/ ley line goes into effect tomorrow morning,
| when the first car leaves Ellicott City at
| 5:44 and every thirty-siX minutes there
after till noon, and then every eighteen
minutes till midnight. This schedule al
