Mr.. Hale at this point reported the
general deficiency appropriation bill and
gave notice he would call it up early
Tomorrow. The senate, on motion OF
Mr.. Hoar. at o'clock went into execu-
tive session. AT the conclusion of the
executive session the senate resumed
legislative business at $50 p. m. After
remarks by Mr. Foraker on the death

which passed the bill.
An effort was made by Senator Fair
banks to obtain consideration of the
bill to extend the anti-contract labor
laws of the United States to Hawaii,
but Mr.. Morgan. one of the Hawaiian
commissioners, objected, and the meas
ure went over
Consideration of the fortified tons bill
was resumed and Mr.. Tillman was rec
ognzed to reply to speeches made ear
lier in the day by Mr.. German and Mr..
Lodge. He said that it was an ano-
malous condition that the conference
on the naval bill was in control of men
who were opposed to this senate amend
ment to reduce the price of armor plate
He was willing and anxious to give the
administration all the support it need
ed. both for the army and the navy.
Later Mr.. Plat of Connecticut inquired
if Mr.. Tillman believed the Krupp
armor could be procured at even s445
per ton. Mr.. Tilman replied that per-
haps it could not be, but he was con-
WINGED that the extra price for Krupp
armor was simply scheme to rob us
out of $145 a tom He was willing to
complete every battleship now on the
stocks and pay S400 ton for the armor,
but he wanted congress to proceed to
the erection of an armor factory and
thus free the country from the clutches
of the armor trust.
Mr.. Plat of Connecticut said he de-
sired simply that the war vessels of
the United States should be covered
with the very best armor, and he
thought every other American felt as
he did. He did not believe that Eng
land Russia and Germany We're sub
hitting to the exactions of an uncon-
scionable trust. and it was in evidence
that they were paying about $575 ton
for the Krupp armor.
Mr. Chandler of New Hampshire de-
clared. in answer to questions, that
there was no evidence that the Krupp
armor was any better than the Har-
veyized armor. as no investigation had
been made of armor since Secretary
Herbert made his investigation. The
bill was then passed with
out division.
Mr.. Money called up the special or

jumped the track and were hurled down
a 20-foot embankment. The third car

more fortunate companions, who
worked bravely. The position of the
cars was extremely dangerous after the
first crash, as they hung over the brink
of trestle that crossed a stream 20
feet below. Fortunately they held their
position. Had the sleeper gone down, a
number of fatalities would have &C.
Cured. Physicians have worked faith

jured and the citizens have rendered all
assistance in their power. The rear
truck of the engine jumped the track
just as the train reached the trestle
and tore 1t away. The baggage car,
two day coaches and one sleeper went
off the track and down the embank-
ment. All the men who are able to
travel left here this evening and should
reach ST. Louis Friday morning
