Washington. May S.-Some facts almost
startling in their Importance were laid be
fore the senate today in secret executive
session at the conclusion of the regular
open session. They related, it Is under
stood, 20 the invention of a shell by a
prominent officer of the United States
navy, a shell superior in every. essential
quailty 10 any now in use either by this
or by any other government The quality
OF penetration possesses by the shell is
said to % 50 great that no armOr now
manufactured N the United States or
abroad has sufficient resistance to with
stand it. The facts which were in posses
sion OF only a few senators We're deemed
so important that the senate decided to
consider them IL secret session.
Today after the naval bill had been laid
aside for the day, Mr.. Tillman asked for
secret session in order that he might
explain TO the senate why he desired the
armOr plate matter to be discussed in Sc
cret.
When the doors We're closed ne explain
ed that several days ago he offered a res
oluJion calling upon the secretary to send
to the senate for its information the de-
tails of tests made by the department Off
Gals of armOr plate at Indian Head. No
answer to the inquiry had been received,
and IN all human probabilities none would
be received.

Crashes Through Plate.

The shell fired from high-power guns
penetrated the armor almost as buuets
nred from u krag-Jo rgensen rifle would
penetrate green wood, the difference be-
ing that the armOr plates split from the
point of impact. 1t is said this was true
OF the krupp armor as well as of the 9TH
er armOT tested. The shell which was so
effective was not described; indeed the
navy department is guarding jealousy all
details concerning its construction
The argument OF Mr. Tillman is thar
with such a prOJectile in the possession
Of the government the details of which
sooner or later viii become known to
other governments, il would not be the
part OF wisdom for congress to enter into
contracts TO purchase the high-priced ar
NOR unless il could be so improved as to
resist prOjectiles of the kind used at In
dian Head
Feeling that more or less of the matter
concerning the tests recently made By
the government would he used in the de-
bate upon the armOr question. Mr. Till
man suggested that il would be desirable
10 consider the subject in secret. The
senate agreed with him. and tomorrow
the armor plate matter will be discussed
behind closed doors.
When the senate met today bill re-
ported by Mr.. Allison from the finance
committee, TO reimburse various revenue
collectors for internal revenue stamps
charged against them, but not accounted
for, aggregating in amount SS,573, was
passed.

withhold the Details

It seems that Mr.. Tillman called at the
navy department and was informed that
II would be unwise at this time to make
pubic the details OF the tests he had ask
ed for, as il would place in the hands, not
only OF the senate but Of the repres enta-
t1VeS OF foreign governments, Information
that properly belonged exclusively to the
United States.
He was informed that Admiral O'NeiI,
chief of the bureau OF ordnance, had been
conducting for several months a series Of
aTmOr tests at Indian Head, the results
of which were very remarkable. a prom
inent official Of the navy department said
II Is understood mat the tests of all sorts
of armOr. including the Krupp armor, had
been made with d view OF ascertaIung
their effectiveness against a new smell
that had been invented by an officer of
the navy. No piece of armor submitted to
the test, IL is understood, was able to
withstand the impact.
