When Secretary Long advertised
for proposals for armorplate for the
battleships that will be ready for it
during the coming fiscal year, he
raised the club which Congress placed
in his hand over the heads of the two
companies which have plants to make
this armor. Whether he will strike
depends entirely upon those COM
panies. If they will submit bids for
the armor needed at what he con-
siders fair and reasonable prices,
Secretary Long will give them the
contract. If they are too greedy in
their prices he will exercise the au
thority conferred upon him by Con-
gress-a high compliment to his
integrity-and proceed at once to
establish a government armor- max
ing plant, which would mean the end
of private armor making. II those
armor- makers exercise good business
sense, they will meet Secretary Longs
idea of what is fair price to pay for
armor.
Nothing could more strikingly illus
trate the friendly relations of Presi-
dent Mckinley with all the prominent
members of the party than that he
has no choice for the vice presidency.
He is reported as saying that any man
who can get the votes of a majority
of the convention will be entirely
satisfactory to him. This leaves the
contest for the second place open to
all republicans, and Maine is for John
D. Long; so is New England. for that
matter. Prominent men from all
over the eastern section are en-
phatically expressing their choice as
for Long. His long, successful and
brilliant public career, his unspotted
character, his unquestioned ability
all these and score of other ad
mirable qualities, mark. him as an
ideal candidate for the vice presi-
dency. And no man yet mentioned
would be better qualified to fill the
presidential chair should it become
vacant. Elaine is for Long-subject
to the will of the convention.

First Vice President Of the Southern Pacific
Visits Houston.

H. e. Huntington, first vice president Of
the Southern Pacific, accompanied by VII.
liam Hoods, chief engineer. and c. E. era
ham, secretary, arrived in Houston last
night over the Galveston, Houston and
Northern from Galveston.
To The Post representative Mr.. Hunting
ton said that he was making tour Of
the system and looking into the improve
ments being made.
Asked as to the work at Galveston, he
said the dredging had unfortunately been
very much delayed. although the timber
work was pretty well up.
Mr.. Huntington said that otherwise he
was wei pleased with the progress OF The
work at Galveston 1t is much greater
than most people think it is, he remarked.
and to appreciate its magnitude one must
walk all over 1t SO as to comprehend It's
enormous scope. 1t is thought that dur
ing September Rhe Morgan line ships will
be running into Galveston, though 1t is a
little early to make any definite statement
in this regard.
Mr.. Huntington will remain over In
Houston today and will look over tho
conpany's splendid terminals in this city.
Galveston, Texas, August 6.--H. e. Hun
tington, vice president of the Southern
Pacific, william Hoods, chief engineer,
and party Of officials consisting OF S. F.
B. Morse. traffic manager. and others. ar
rived here last night. This morning ,ney
spent several hours inspecting the work
at the Huntington docks in the West end.
On being interviewed Mr.. Huntington
stated that che work here was being
pushed as rapidly as the circumstances
would permit. He said there had been
some delay owing to the fact that some of
the building material and machinery had
been slow to arrive and the company
would not be ready TO begin a regular
service between Galveston and New YORK
in September. He said that four steamers
were being built for the company which
would engage in the service. They will
be for freight only.
The party left this afternoon for trip
over the road Owing to the magnitude
of the work to be accomplished it is i'm
possible TO tell exactly when it will be
completed, but the company expects to
handle some freight during the fall sea-
son.

The following statement was given out
by director of the Santa Fe: 1--WE pur-
chased stock control of the property and
will pay for the same out of the proceeds
of the sale of first mortgage bonds, which
we are allowed to issue at the rate Of
1000, 900 per year. These bonds were au-

would not state The Ksysee is capital
ICED at 100000 aud it is judged will pay
10 per cent to the Santa Fee something
of the price received by Mr. Kirby for the
stock he owned and controlled may be
estimated by this. 1t was at least worth
par to the Santa Fe, and It is very likely
that it brought considerably more. The
bonds. even if purchased by the new own
ers, will probably be kept alive.
