er and OF the Administration to keen dow n
the appropriations as much as possible es-
peclaIly while the army expenditures are
SO large and the trouble over the armor-
plate is pending. a perplexing situation
eonfronts the Committee on Naval Affairs.
Acting Chairman Foss. who managed the
Naval Personnel bill In the House. is Civ
ing this matter his attention almost to the
exclusion Of everything else.
The evening times. [volume] (Washington, D.C.) 1895-1902, 1900-01-15

While the Committee on Naval Affairs
has already taken up the matter Of the
naval appropriation bill there is no inten-
ton of hurrying it to the House. 1t will
be some time probably two months. before
it is rspor ed. Unusual care viii be de-
voted to the preparation Of the bill by the
committee.
The opinion OF the members OF the COM
mittee seems to be unanimous in favor Of
increasing the navy. although there is doubt
in the minds of several as TO how far this
recommended an appropriation for three
armored cruisers OF 1900 tons, three pro-
tected cruisers OF 5000 tohs, and twelve
gunboats OF 900 tons. Last year the ap-
preparation gave the navy three battleships.
three srmored cruisers. and six protected
cruisers This was considered liberal ad-
dition. although provision for three pro-
tected cruisers asked by the Secretary Of
the Navy was withheld.
During the warm dispute over the mat
ter Of armor and a Government armor-
plate plant. a clause was inserted in the
bill providing that contracts for the hulls
Of the vessels could not be let until after
the contracts had been made for the aCmOr
within the price fixed by Congress. AS il
has been impossible to obtain armor at
this price nothing has been done toward
the construction of the battleships and
armOred cruisers.
The Importance of the situation confront
ing Congress this session in regard to this
matter is much greater than it was last
session. Not only is there even less
probability that the manufacturers will
consent to accept the price fixed by Con-
gress because they have been able to hold
out so successfully, but the great advance
in the prices of steel and iron makes il
practically certain that no armor can be
obtained within the price set and on az
count of this advance II is doubtful if even
at the old figures the manufacturers of the
armOr plate would care to risk a contract
for the enormous amount of plate which
Will be needed for the battleships and
cruisers under the last bill. and those
which vii be included in the next apprO-
pTiation bill
Additional complications are looked for
from the expected contest over the Gov
eminent armor- plate factory proposition.

through this session or not. something

AN OLD MANS DEFENCE.
Gang of Desperate Burglars Given
n Lively Battle.


SHENANDOAH, Pa, Jan 15--Though
handicapped by weight Of years. Farm
er Frederick Hosler gave a good account
OF himself in a hand to- hand figtt with rob
bers. who attacked him in his house near
RingtOwn Saturday evening. buc was over
powered when re-enforcements came for
his assailants. The farmer is seventy-five
years old, but is well-preserved, and is in
easy circumstances
The old man was sitting alone in his
dining-room reading a paper when two
masked men marched in. They had re-
vOlyers ready for action, and Mr. Hosler
did not wait for them TO explain their
business He gave them a surprise by
springing at them as they approached. and
in the suffie both burglars dropped their
pistols.
Farmer Hosler proved himself a match
for the two OF them. He knocked them
about vigorously, and parried of their wild
return blows AS he was getting decidedly
the better Of them they called for help,
and three more men, masked also. came
running in. In their rage they beat him
numerically and compelled him to tell
where he had his money.
Willie this was going on two boys nam
ed Koch, aged twenty-five and seventeen.
the sons Of neighbor, appeared at the
house to visit the old man. The burglars
promptly took them prisoners and sub
jected them to rough treatment
With ropes the three captives were
firmly secured. and stretched out side by
side. on the floor, bleeding from their
wounds. The burglars then went to the
place where Mr.. HOsler kept his none.
gathered up $500, and escaped. About two
hours after the robbery one OF the Koch
boys loosened his ropes and gave the others
their liberty.
No trace Of the desperadoes can be
found. Mr. HOsler is suffering much from
his wounds.

select a smoky city. one where there
are many factory chimneys. DO not
try for the fashionable capitals. Leave
them for the ambassadors. Go where
the air is murky, for there business is
lively, and many a consignment is sent
to the United States. This means fees,
and fees mean a good income for the
consul"
In the course of his chat the con-
gresham made the general statement
that consuls who are making the Most
money from fees are the quietest, most
unassuming. accomplishing employees
of the government. They do not set
up claims for a salary instead of fees, ("

to the salary system, and it at once
becomes alluring to voracious lot of

particular consul is weak, and then in

change.
"One of the most profitable consul
ships is that of Liverpool. The salary
is $4,000. but the fees bring the emolu-
