Formal reduction OF IS per ton in

have begun and the end Of which can
not well be foreseen.
Apart from the disturbances in specu-
latIon there has been produced meas
ure of dlstrust regarding prices that are
maintained by the great combinations
which may for the present, tend to de-
ter buying. In the iron business the
formal reductions were almost wholly
anticipated in actual sales. Some ur-

MUCH BAD FEELING AROUSED.

WASHINGTON, April 2O.-As a re-
suit of protracted struggle in the
house to-day the provision OF the naval
appropriation bill to enable the secre-
tary of the treasury to contract for ar
NOR for the battleshlps Maine, Ohio and
Missouri, now awaiting their armor
equipment at $545 per ton, the price
asked for krupp armor. is out OF the
bin. as is the provision to repeal the 5000
limitation placed upon the price OF ar
NOR by the current law. The fight
came at the end OF the consideration of
the bin. Although the provision was
obnoxious to the rule all the minority
members OF the committee had agreed
to 1t, but to-day when the majority de-
clined to allGw the discussion of n prop
osltion for the establishment OF an ar
NOR plate factory they retallated by
raising a point OF order against the two
provisions above referred to and they
were ruled oct. The exact effect OF the
action of tho house to-day is disputed.
Want Arn,or of the Best Quality.
The appropriation of $4OOO.OOO under
the head OF "Armor and armament" 4"
remains in the bill as well as the lam
guaga of tho provision authorizing the
secretary Of the navy to contract for ar
NOR OF the hest quality for the Maine,
Ohio and Missouri, the words stricken
out being ";tt cost not to exceed Sji5
n ton including royalties" 1t is con-
tended by some that this empowers the
secretary to contract for the armor
without regurd to cost. BE others 1t is
claimed thai the provision win be in.
effective unlsss the senate inserts the
price. So much bad feeling was aroused
by the wraEgle over the armor plate
provision that Mr.. Underwood. of Ala
bama, began nlIbuster after the bin
was reported to the house and finally
forced an aojournmept without final
action on thG bill.
Before the trrnor plate question came
up, two amendments to modify the
provisions foi the Increase of the navy
which authorizes two battleships and
six cruisers, were defeated. one pro-
posed to ado provision FOR the battle
ships. The question OF building ships
in government yards did not reach n
vote MS the amendment offered to this
end was rulH out on a point Of order.

Canned R asst Beef for Soldiers.

WASHING ron, April 2O.-war de-
partment officials have been compelled
to resort to he use OF canned roast beef
for the subsistence OF the army in the
Philippines. This is due to the fac, that
It Is absolutely essential that the SOL
dlers shall b. served with fresh meat
and because II the imposslbllity OF pro-
viding refrigerated beef or cattle on the
hoof under existing conditions. When
the bulk OF the army was located near
the scashorc and Mt easily accessible
points, there was no difficulty in pro-
viding them with fresh meats but con-
ditlons have now changed and the army
is scattered among 100 posts in various
parts OF the archipelago, n great many
OF them at considerable distance from
the nearest shipping point. There are
no cattle available and the refrigerated
beef which has heretofore formed the
principal basis OF subsistence for the
troops cannot be preserved in good con-
dltlon long enough to reach many OF the
inland posts. Consequently It became
necessary to look for some suitable sub
sutute and the American canned roast
beef was the only thing found to meet
the requirements.
