ANOTHER SECRET
 SESSION OF SENATE Senators Convinced That Publi-
 cation Can't be Avoided. PULLMAN ON ARM0R PLATE He Substantially Reiterated His For- mer Statement Concerning the In-
 dian Head Tests Which Have Been Made Recently 2
PULLMAN ON ARMOR PLATE

Washington, May 9.-Again the senate discussed, in secret session, the mysterious projectile with which the navy department has been experimenting on armor plate.
 The publication In this mornings paper of the details of the secret session held yesterday, in the course of which MT Till man of South Carolina laid before the sen- ate information he had received at the navy department concerning the armor-riercing projectile that had played such havoc with the best armor tested at the government proving grounds at Indian Head, convinced many senators of the futility of attempting by secret sessions to keep information from the public.
 However, while MT. Tillman was explain- ing to the senate today what he desired to accomplish by the secret session yester- day, another "secret' session was moved, the senate preferring to hear the South Carolina senator's explanation behind closed doors. After the galleries had been cleared, MT. Tillman reiterated substantiaf- ly the statement concerning the Indian Head tests of armor plate which he made. He arraigned the navy department for making public the details of a test of armor

THE HOUSE

Washington, May 9.-The house today considered the contested election case of Pearson vs. Crawford from Ninth North Carolina district. The report of the ma jority was against the sitting member, a democrats on the ground that Mr. Pearson s election was prevented by fraud, intimi- dation, bribery and bloodshed. The mi- nority deny all the allegations. The de- bate today was on party lines.
 Mir. Roberts, of Massachusetts who is in charge of the case for the majority, of fered, If the minority would agree to vote on tomorrow at noon, to strike from the majority report that motion favoring the throwing out of the entire vote of Ashe- vile. He said MT. Pearson's case did not require the elimination of that city's vote.
 Mr. Meyers, Indiana, for the minority, rejected the proposition. MT Roberts, in opening, sought to prove that the race question was the issue in the campaign in the Ninth district and that by fraud, bribery, bloodshed and intimidation, MT. Pearson had been defeated. He figured out plurality for MT. Pearson of 318.
 Mr. Meyers, Indiana, called attention to the fact that the district was normally democratic and that the election of 1896 was conduced under an election law passed by the fusionists which gave the contestants political friends control of the election ma chinery All the charges of intimidation, bribery and violence were denied.

 Mir. Chandler felt that the navy depart- ment had not dealth frankly with the sen- ate in respect to the information regard ing the tests.
 MT. Hoar of Massachusetts discussed the subject briefly, criticizing the navy depart ment for publishing information withheld from the senate. After a brief session, 1t was decided inasmuch as the salient facts had been published, that the armor plate matter might as well be considered in open session.
