To Discuss Armor Plate.

Washington, April 1.-THE week in
the house will be largely taken up with
the consideration of the naval appro-
priation bill over which there prom
ises to be a protracted struggle. The
whole question Of armOr plate, except
that for the Maine, Wisconsin and
Missouri, will be fought out
The minority members of the COM
mittee, led by Mr.. Wheeler of Kentucky,
will make a strong fight for the estab-
hskment of a government armor fac
tory as the best solution of the vexed
problem. An attempt will also be made
by the minority of the committee for
the building Of ships in government
yards. Before the naval bill is taken
up tomorrow, Chairman Marsh, of the
committee on militia, will be recognized
to move the passage under suspension
of the rules of the bill apprOpriating
S1,000,000 for the militia of the several
states.
Friday will be given UP to the com
mittee on war claims under the rule
and Saturday has been set aside for
paying tribute to the memory of the
late Representative Settle of Kentucky.

seemed disinclined TO enter into any

Washington, April 15-The senate will
continue during the week to devote its
attention to the Alaskan code bill. the
Quay resolution and the bill providing
for the temporary government of the
Philippine Islands.
There also will be more or less SPAR
ring for place on the part of the friends

whom is Senator Morgan of Alabama

ures before the senate are disposed of.
Alaskan Bill.
Senator Carter will try on Monday to
get a day fixed for a vote on the Alas
kan bill. There are only two amend
mentS of Importance remaining to be
acted upon in connection with that
measure and it is thought these could
be disposed of at a very early date if
the friends of the Alaskan bill would
agree to assist in the taking up of other
legislation when it is out Of the way
Senator Morgan seems at present in
clined to hold up the code measure IN
til he can receive some assurance on
the canal bill, but so far has apparent
ly not been successful in that direction.
There also is a notable disposition TO
use the Alaskan bin and the Philip
pine bill to delay the taking up of the
subsidy bill. The Democrats in the
senate are practically united in oppo-
sition to the subsidy proposition. SEN
ator Lodge, in charge of the Philippine
bill, announces it to be his purpose to
ask vote on it whenever the Demo-
Gratis make an opening for such sug-
gestion. Apparently, however, he is not
very sanguine of success.
Hoar to Speak.
Senator Hoar has given notice Of a
speech on the Philippine question on
Tuesday next, and he is expected then
to fully outline his views on the queS-
ton Of expansion.
Late in the week reports will proba-
bly, be made on some of the appropria-
ton bills now in committee. 1t is also
probable that a report will be made in
the Clark case during the week. The
report has been drafted in the rough
by Senators Chandler and Turley and
will be laid before the committee on
elections as soon as completed. Sem
ator Chandler announces it TO be his
purpose to ask to have the question
taken up in the senate as soon as the
report is filed.

Chicago. April lex Governor Ait
geld was spoken to today about the
suggestion of nominating Ex-Governor
Pattison of Pennsylvania as the run
ming mate of Mr.. Bryan. He said:
Il notice that the Palmer and Buck
ner newspapers of America are urging
his nomination. Those papers and those
men who have been very hostile to Mr..
Bryan and are still hostile to what he
represents and would like to see him
deteated, and yet wish to go with the
Democratic party this year, are urging
Inc nomination Of Mr.. Pattison.
Mistake of 1896.
Personally, 1 believe that the nomi-
nation Of Mr.. Pattison for the vice
presidency would be as great a misfor-
tune as the nomination we made in 1896
Tor that place, if not greater. Our can
didate for that place in 1896 was at
least. positively with us on the silver
question, but he did not command the
confidence of our people on any other
question, and greatly weakened our
ticket. Mr.. Patti6on has not been posi-
lively with us on any proposition, and
IL Is safe to say that at least So per
cent of the Democrats of America
ination.
For US to be guided by high prin-
ciple in the nomination of a candidate
for the presidency and then undertake
10 play Old-fashicred, cheap politics in
the nomination of a candidate for the
vice presidency, would be unworthy of
a great party, and would so far weaken
that party as to make it incapable of
performing any great mission for the
country, or for humanity.
Man Like Bryan Wanted.
"The Democracy must name a man
for the vice presidency who possesses
the same character, the same convic-
ton and the same positive and aggres-
sive force as the man who is to head
the ticket
Let me say that I have sreat re-
spect for Governor PattisOn as d man.
He is a gentleman and a man of great
ability, and in any other manner I
should be glad 20 honor him, but there
are thousands of men Of high character
and ability whom l respect, but whom
the Democracy could not put upon it's
ticket this year without abandoning
its high mission"

Several Persons Reported to
Have Been Killed.
THE WIRES ARE DOWN
MANY PERSONS INJURED By
FURY OF THE WINDS.
Storm, So Far as Can Be Learned
From Meagre Information, Ex-
tends Over About Ten Counties of
the State-Roofs Blown Away
and Houses Were Overturned.


Kansas City, Mo-, April ia Jour
nal special from Wichita, Kan, says:
A storm approaching a tornado in
proportion is reported in the vicinity
west of Clearwater. Two deaths are
reported and four people are said to
have been injured by overturned
houses. Wires are down and names
and particulars are unobtainable at 10
o'clock tonight. At Putnam it is re-
ported several houses were blown down,
and four people seriously injured Word
was brought by passengers on the
southbound Santa F'e passenger train
that two persons were killed, but it is
impossible to confirm this report at 10
O'Clock tonight.
Wires Down.
The telephone and telegraph wires
Were rendered useless by the wind, and
all attempts to reach Putnam. Newton
or affected points have proven of no
avail. West of Clearwater, in the
country northeast of Adams, on she
Englewood branch of the Santa Fe
railroad, it is reported that a strip of
country five miles long was swept by a
storm at o'clock this evening, and
several farm houses. barns and other
buildings blown down. No casualties
are reported from there.
Cause For Alarm.
The fact that indefinite scraps of in
formation are al that can be secured,
gives cause for alarm that the storm is
much more serious than is generally
admitted. From a small settlement
several miles west of Fremont, in Sum-
ner county. it is said all of the houses
were wrecked with loss Of life. This
report cannot be Substantiated.
The storm area, so far as can be
learned, extends over about ten cOun-
ties near and at the southern line of
the state. The cyclonic disturbance
seems to have followed the trend Of the
Arkansas river.
