Upon both prop csitions the naval committee suffered signal defeats.
 The amendment to build a great ar nor plant was ruled out upon a point Of order, but after 9 rancorcus debate, in which the price to be paid for armor ,gas cut down from $545 par ton, the price which the committee insisted was being paid for new krupp armor, to $445 a ton, 9 proyiso was also added p-ecluding the government from pay ing mere than WAS paid by any other foreign government for silver a1mor.

Washington. Feb. 23.-There will be a great scramble for the 9 commis- sions of paymaster in the navy as au- thorized by the naval appropriation bill. There are more than 200 oandi- dates for the places. all of them with influence" The President is per mitted to waive the requirements of age in the case Of those who served in the war with Spain, and it is possible that he will appoint 9 volunteer p5y officers to the permanent bi lets. It is optional with the secretary whether there be a competitive examination of candidates. The past practice Of de- ing so has relieved the President of the delicate task of selecting a nominee from so many candidates with abun- dant influence.

London. Feb 23-M. LoubeIs cleo tion as president Of the Frsnch Iepub- lie is apparently the result Of q c m- bination of moderate men and loyal republicans, who feared the don inance of the army and the Fatherland League and req c5iona1y tende1cies even under an administration of M. Moline They had also the aid of avCwad Dreyfus- ards and socialists.
 The most threatening immediate re- suit is the promise Cf the an;i-Drey- fusard Ie3ctiona1y campaign to force Loubets resignation. His blunders as premier at the beginning of the P5 IT, anna scandals gave them a handle, though Loubet is personally untainted. His election marks the return Of the Grevy type of president L-ubet is narrow and mediocre, a provincial lawyer, awkward and un1efned in speech, of simple habits and too timid to pursue an individual policy He is So good natured as to be likely to yield easily.

BIG DEMAND FOR SHIP PLATES
Activity in Shipbuilding Causes
 a Drain on the Rolling A1iils

New York, Feb. 23.-Shp builders are building so many steel ships along the Atlantic and Pacific a t3 that the rolling mills have all they can do to supply the demand for steel plates. Pilates continue to be the banner line, and the demand is very urgent says the Iron Age. Ship builders at Balti- more at Newport News and on the Delaware have contracted for an ad- ditional number of vessels, ard orders for bridges and other structures are pouring in. Chicago sold about 1000 tons turning down a much larger quantity. The leading mill in Pitts. burg cannot sell anything before July delivery.
 Ut is interesting to note that a group of four German plate mills have taken the second half of the famous Coolgardie order, which our mills, which secured the first half would not touch. Steel is exceedingly scarce for prompt delivery, and those who mrst buy are required to pay as high ss S1S.50 in the central west and $21 in Philadelphia
 Another interesting thing about the iron trade just now is the demand for structural material.

 Whereas, The caricatures of public officials, especially of certain legis- latoIs, by the San Francisco Call and Examiner has passed the line Of com mon decency, and whereas such work is outside the realms of legitimate journalism, which strives to ennoble and build up true manhood, woman hood and good government, as against the personal maliciousnes3 and vicious ness Of yellow journalism which perse- cutes and destroys, therefore be it \
 Resolved, That this assembly here by puts it's seal of severest condemna- tjon on the urwise, unjust, diabolical work of these newspapers as repre- senting the malicious spite Of personal organs and outside of the pale of true journalism; and
 Resolved, That this assembly here by especially and specifically con- demns and censures as malicious, cow ardly and brutal the treatment, by the Call and Examiner, of Hon. Grove L. Johnson, a member of this assembly"
