White Flag Stories.

Reports of treacherous use of the white flag by the Boers, coming from native sources, are not received with complete credulity, but at the same time their reiteration is making an un- favorable impression. One paper asks sarcastically whether President Kru- gers reference in his message to Amer ica to staggering humanity meant the Boer use of the white flag.

Senator Tillman on the Arlnor
Plate Trust.

Washington, March 1.-The
naval appropriation bill which
ordinarily consumed the time of
the senate for several days, was
passed this Afternoon after less
than five hours debate. In that
time, however, it was amended
radically in one respect. The price
to be paid by the government for
armor plate was i1ed in the bill
IT $500 ton, a reduction of the
amount fixed by the house of $40
a ton. In addition the secretary
of the navy was authorized in the
event of the refusal of the armor
plate companies to supply armor
at $500 a ton, to proceed to the
construction of an armor factory
to cost $1,50O,000, and placing in
the secretary's control s2,O00,oOO
with which to operate the govern
msnt plant. The fight for these
amendments was led by Mr..
Tillman of South Carolina, who
made 8 Enthusiastically sensa-
tional speech in support of the pro-
position.
The controversy over the pric'
of armor plate was precipitated b.
Mr.. Tillman, Who offered an
amedment reducing the price fixeo
by the bill from $445 per to $500.
Speaking of his amendment:
Mr.. Tillman declared that millions
of dollars were being squandered
by the government in feathering
the nests of the armor trust and 1e
felt that the senate and country
