COMPETITION IS
 THE LIFE OF TRADE
Carnegie Is Prepared to Quote Armor Plate at S45O a Ton, So it
 is Said.

Washington, June 15-(Special )-The fact that the Midvale Steel Works have almost completed an making plant and are about prepared to bid for making armor for the battleships already on the way and those authorized at the late ses- sion of Congress promises to have an inn portant influence in the bidding for armor. It introduces competition which the agreement of the Carnegie and Bethle- hem companies to maintain the price of armor had destroyed
 The Midvale people claim to have a pro- cess for hardening armor plate which will be superior to Harveyized armor and even to the Krupp armor. The Midvale Com pany has already shown it's ability to make unexcelled armor piercing shells, and it is natural to presume it will succeed as well in the manufacture of armor.
 It would seem likely that the knowledge that the Midvale Company is preparing to make armor plate had something to do with. the report, believed to be authentic, that the Carnegie and Bethlehem Com panies were now ready to provide Krupp armor for S450 a ton, the royalty being paid by them. That is $95 less than the price they said a short time ago was the lowest they would take for this kind of armor. A IL

I know as a fact, however, in spite of all tht has been said, that the Philippine Islands are in the possession of the United States, and the United States cannot get rid of them and cannot withdraw. Intelligent men of the Philippines want United States protec- tion and government, and to them l have promised protection from all loss of life and property, and 1 know that this country will fulfill that promise"
 General Wheeler, who was accorded an enthusiastic reception, made a notable ad- dress.
 David J. Hill L.L. D., was the next speaker. His theme was Our National Development"

ST. LOUIS STRIKE
 NEARING AN END
Matter of Reinstatement Sub-
 mitted to Arbitration.
PROPOSITION TO COMPANY
Judge Priest, Attorney for Transit Com pany, Says an Answer Will be Re- turned Today-Agreement
 Effected by Gompers

St. Louis, June 15.-By a practically unan- imous vote the local Union of Street Rail- way Employees of the Transit Company out on strike decided today to submit the mat ter of reinstatement of the employees to ar bitration. By the same vote the executive committee of the Union was empowered to negotiate with the company and make a final settlement without referring the mat ter back to the Union. This action was brought about through the influence of Samuel Gompers. president of the Ameri- can Federation of Labor, who arrived here last night and was present at the mass meeting held at the West End Coliseum to- day.
 The meeting at the West End Coliseum was called to order by President Mahon Of the National Association of Street Railway Employees, who introduced MT. Gompers. In the midst of his appeal to the men to support the seventh clause of the propo- sition, submitting the question of the re- nstatement of the strikers to arbitration, Mir. Gompers said:
 ''Brothers-Do not vote against the clause for arbitration If you do l am afraid that a settlement will be out of the question. I am sure that if you place this question in the hands of honest men the trouble can yet be settled amicably."
 Clarence Richeson, the orator Of the strikers held out stoutly for the demand that all or none of the men be returned to work, ano~he was supported by other mem bers.
 At 4:30 o'clock the new proposition was presented to Judge H. S. Priest attorney of the Transit Company, who took 1t under advisement and said the company would itS

 MT.

 All the diplomatic representatives at Pekin agree that the Chinese government is quite incapable of restoring order and maintaining peace, so they have sent or ders to their respective admirals to bring forces for the protection of the several legation.

GREAT SCIENTIFIC DISCOVERY.
Austrian Finds Subtle Matter Which
 He Calls "Electroid."

Francis Rychn0weki, mechanical engineer of Lemberg, Austria, has dis covered strange and very subtle matter, which he called "electroid" be- cause of a certain affinity with elec- trieity. E1ectroid, produced by a =ape- cial apparatus built by the inventor, is obtained by the dissolution of eer- tain matters under the influence of 3he electric current. It makes noise, and at the same time refreshing scent and cool breeze are experienced. This discovery induced Mr. Ryeknow- Ski to make machine capable of re- freshing the air to such degree that those present during the experiment had the feeling that the window was open, although this was not the case EleetToid is a very subtle matter, but it seems to be a fluid. and it can be gathered and preserved. While falling on a plate it refeets in shape of shining sheayes. he commission ap- pointed by the Austrian government to investigate this discovery reported that under the influence of eleetroid plants grow rapidly and the buds ot flowers unelose while one is looking at them. Electroid annlhuates microbes and thus preserves organic matter. These are physio,og;c2l influences of eiectroid. Among mechanical phe- uomena the commission reported that the influence Of electroid is not stopped even by brick wall and glass; that it attracts solid bodies and makes them shine like moonlight-it makes them move and attract othel bodies; finally, that it acts on photo- graphic plates ana produces sharp and distinct lines, such as were formerly possible only with very po~erfal lens.

SWIMMING FEAT OF A CHILD.
Astonishing Courage and Goodness Dis
 played by a Little GirL

Astonishing courage anu IoolnesS DlS-
 played by a Little Girl
 The importance of early instruction n the art of swimming received 5 striking illustration in the recent res- cue from drowning of a 6-year-old girl at Port Jefferson. N. Y, says Leslie's Weekly The child saved was Clarice Petit the little daughter of Dr. and Mrs. Henry Petit of Brooklyn. Dr. Petit, who is physical instructor iR Ade'phi college, was out sailing with his wife, three children, including e1arice, and a maid, in his yacht, the Orient. Mrs Petit was at the wheel when sudden gust caused the yacht to heel to port, and Clariee was thrown into the water. Dr. Petit sprang to her rescue. but the child had disap- peared. She soon came to the surface, however, near the dingey, where she sustained herself for moment on an oar Hearing her father call her name, the little one let go her support and swan toward him, and the two a mo- ment later. were picked up and safely restored to the yacht but little the worse for their experience. The un- usual feature of the affair was the as- tonishing coolness and courage dis played by the child, an evidence of the excellent physical training she has re- eeived. Although the little swimmer sank beneath the waves several times after going overheard, she gave not the slightest sign of fear or excite ment, but seemed perfectly confident in her own power to sustain herself un- til help should come. When asked, after her return to the yacht, why she had let go the oar, she said: - could not seem to swim fast enough with it." Of her experience under tho water she remarked; It was dark down there, but kept my mouth shut so that I would not swallow water, such presence of mind in a 6-year-old child Is as rare as it is remarkable.

QUEER TOSS
Jew of a Huge Unclassifed Animal
 Found in New Mexico.
1 Animal

FOunu NtW Mextco.
 Santa Fe New Mexican: The fossil remains of strange prehistoric animal were discovered recently at Postmaster Nusbaum's ranch, at TeseuqIe. AL phonso Deekweiler, who has charge of digging ditch through ridge on the ranch, picked up a piece of petrified bone the shape of large tongue, but with rev of twelve teeth along what seemed to be the tip oi the tongue. He dug little further and found the re- mainder of what seemed to be the jaw of an animal that was part iehthy osau- rus and part plesiosaurus, with some of the characteristics of the pterodactyl perhaps. The jaw consisted of about twenty layers of bone ih the shape of a tongue, and each layer was armed with eozen teeth, which showed that the animal was herbiyorous and not car niyorous. These twenty layers were evidently the upper jaw of the animal MT DockWeiler expects to find the low er jaw and perhaps all of the remains of the strange animal. AS much as he has found he will bring to this clty and from here ship it to the Smithson- ian institution in Washington. Two layers of the jaw were brought to the city by J. C. SchumanG and shown to friends, who were all puzzled by their unusual shape It is well known that the surroundings of Santa Fe abound with submarine fossil remains, which seem to prove that in long -gone-by ages the site of the city was covered by sea. Only half mile up the ar royo and canyon that branch off Pal ace avenue, near the old brewery, pret- ty petrified seashells are to be found At many other places there are unmis- takable signs of the erosion of the waves and footprints of gigantic pre- historic amphibians. who made their home both in the water and on the land in the days when the highest peaks of the Rocky mountain range were only islands in a vast ocean.
