SESSION
INTERPOSES NO BAR TO THE MOST
PERFECT PUBLICITY.
REBUKE TO NAVY Department.
Senators Assert That Senate Has Not
Been Dealt With Frankly in
Ar1nor Matter.

Washington, May 9.-Again to-day
the senate discussed in secret session the
mysterious projectile with which the
navy department has been experiment.
ing on armor plate.
The publication in this mornings pa
pers of the details of the secret session
held yesterday, in the course of which
Mr.. Tillman of South Carolina laid be-
fore the senate he had re-
ceived at the navy department concern
ing the armor-piercing pfojectile that
had played such havoc with The best ar
NOR tested at the government proving
grounds at ndian Head, convinced many
senators of the futility of attempting
by secret sessions to keep information
from the public.
However, while MI. Tillman was ex-
planning to the senate to-day what he
desired to accomplish by HI secret
session yesterday, another secret
session was moved, the senate prefer
ring to hear the South Carolina sena-
tors explanation behind closed doors.
After the galleries had been cleared
Mr.. Tillman reiterated substantially
the statement concerning the indian
Head tests of armor plate which he had
made yesterday. He pointed OUT the
effectiveness of the projecllle tipped
with a point of soft steel against the
THU tSltu dit uStu LA LdCl tS Oil
argument against the payment by the
government of what ne termed monopo
listic prices for armor. He dWelt upon
the v~ulnerability of the best known
armor-including the Kruon armor-
against the prOjectile. He arrai2ned
the navy department for making public
yesterday the metals Of a test of arnlcr
with the six-inch gun. in which "ns
of the soft-nosed proiectiles pierced the
plate almOSt as if it We're oak declaring
his belief that the test had been
made public for the effect it might
nave upon the senate debate on the
pending bill.
Mr.. Chandler felt that the navy de-
partment had not dealt frankly with the
senate in respect to the information re-
garding the tests.
Mr.. Hoar Of Massachusetts discussed
the subject briefly. Geprecating the evil
dent inability of the senate to keep it's
secrets and criticising the navy depart
ment for publishing information With
held from the senate.
After some brief discussion it was de-
cided, inasmuch as the salient facts had
been published, that the armor plate
matter might as we'll be CONSIDERED in
open session.
In this connection it was pointed out
that there was really no secret about
the soft nosed projectile, as the navy
department had been experimenting
with the projectile for years. Later in
the day a communication was submitted
to the senate by Mr.. Hale from the
bureau of ordnance of the navy depart
ment in which was described minutely
the effect of the projectile in question
| upon various kinds of armor. 1t was
shown that the projectile. which is a
, solid steel shot-not a shell-carrylng
no explosive charge, would pierce the
best of armor when the conditions of
the tests We're perfect in every instance,
but only in such condition.

Four Englishmen Met By a Shower of
Stones and Lava.

Naples. May 9.-The cable car service
up Mount Vesuvius has been suspended
in consequence of the eruptions. Four
Englishmen attempted to ascend the
mountain on foot and, GLIDING the vigil
lance of the carbineers who form a cor
don at a height beyond which the ascent
is considered unsafe, they approached the
summit. Suddenly the volcano belched
forth a stream of lava and stones, which
descended upon the foolhardy tourists,
who were rescued in a terribly bruised
condition.

ARE DISSATISFIED
MAYOR WEBSTER HAS MADE
SOME VERY UNPOPULAR
APPOINTMENTS.
REPUBLICANS TURNED DOWN.
Arbor Day Was Observed As Public
Holiday-Offcial Bond
d Filed.

Missoula, May ., 1900.
At the council meeting on Monday
night, consisting of a republican mayor
and six republican aldermen, two demo-
cratic policemen Were elected. Most of
the prominent republicans of the city
feel very much dissatisfied to think that
after working SO hard in the spring cleo
tions to elect a republican council. and
then to find out that they had elected
men who did not have backbone enough
to appoint republican officeholders in the
city. In the tie vote between Greenough
and Logan, FOR cowherder, where the
mayor had an opportunity to use his
p~rerogative to cast the deciding ballot,
he refrained from doing SO and refused
to put up other nominations. The Inter
Mountain representative has interviewed
a number of prominent republicans, and
with the exception of two they volun-
tarily expressed their opinion as being
very much surprised at the mayors tim
idity. They think that there are a num-
Der of worthy republicans in the city of
Missoula who could have been selected
to fill the position with honor and credit
to the city and the republican party.
! Will the positions left untitled be given
to republicans in good standing?
Arbor day in Missoula reminded one
of the n chimes of southern Califor-
mia. The day was observed by all the
banks, city and county officials and pub
lie schools. The city presented the APP
%pearance of Sunday attire. A number of
young people attended Arbor day par
ties. In the orchard homes near Mis-
soula there were a great number of fruit
trees planted.
Ex-Governor Richards was in the city
today for the purpose of appointing
e~nuneratOrS for the census, and Incl
dentally to have a look at his fine peach
orchard A number of names were men,
toned by republicans for the position.
and it is thought that the governor will
make a selection today.

The bill providing a government for
the territory of Hawaii is now in con-
ference, the house having passed an
amended substitute for the senate bill.
The house will this week pass the
Porto Rico bill, just as it was passe d
by the senate. The large number of
republican absentees prevented this
being done last week, when the eau
Gus with only one dissenting vote de-
cided that it was better to pass the bill
as 1T came from the senate than to
further amend it. Since then every
impaired republican has been notified
to return to Washington. The dem
ocrats have ordered all of their absen,
tees to be on hand with the hope that
enough republicans will vote against
the bill, or purposely absent them
selves when the vote is taken, to en-
able them to defeat the bill. The
republican leaders are not at all
alarmed, only they do not intend to
take any chances. AS soon as they
are certain that they have the votes
at hand to pass the bill, it will be re-
ported from the ways and means
committee, and special rule Will be
from the committee on rules
to vote on it the same day.
