WASHINGTON, D. c., June SAN in
dication that the agitation against the
high price charged for armor plate by the
combine is having some effect appears
in the remarks of Congressman Dayton.
of West Virginia, during the debate on
the naval appropriation bill Dayton is
not an enemy OF the combine, by any
means, and he is opposed TO the building
of a government armor plate plant, but
he thought IL wise to say in his speech
that he believed the price of arnaor plate
would be reduced from $645 ton, perhaps
ten per cent. His reason for so saying
was that by letting contracts for all OF
the armor plate, so that it's manufacture
would cover a period Of Ave and three
quarter years, the armoF plate manufac-
turers could very we'll AFFORD to make a
reduction; and in a letter to the Navy
Department the manufacturers have al
ready indicated that they will make a re-
duction
The House provision, therefore. leaves
the whole matter. not only the exact price
TO be paid for armor, but also the ques-
ton of building an armor plate plant, in
the control of tho Secretary OF the Navy
1T is evident that the Secretary would al
most certainly accept such reduced price
as the armor combine may offer for a
long term contract, and that there would
be no prospect whatever of the building
OF a government factory.
This looks very much like a triumph
for the combine in the House. notwith-
standing the promise of reduction In
price In any case tho price will be high
enough, for all Mr.. Dayton could promise
was that 1--WE shall eventually secure
armor plate at FIVE hundred and some odd
, dollars per ton" A long term contract
such as Mr. Dayton would make. involves
SIS, 600 900, figures which show what tre-
mendous prize the armor combine is after.

NEW YORK, June 3.-The police at
an early hour this morning, chased
four housebreakers over the roof tops
in the One Hundred and Third street
East Side tenement distric., with the
result that one OF the fugatives is dead,
one is suffering from conclusion of the
brain and internal injuries at Harlan
hospital, another is under arrest, and
the fourth made his escape. The men
were discovered after they had broken
into a vacant store anu were attempt
ing to get into clothing store. The
alarm was given and four policemen
chased them up through the tenement
hallway and over the roofs. Three of
the men attempted to make a descent
to the ground by means of lofty pole
standing close to one Of the buildings.
At least two of them fell from about
the third story to the paved areaway

WASHINGTON d. c., June 81
Conference reports on appropriation
and other bills promise to occupy the
attention OF the House to the exclusion
OF everything else during the closing
days of the session. Only one piece OF
general legislation seriously threat
ems the programme-the Grout oleo-
margarine bill. The friends of this
measure have been very insistent and
have threatened in case the Senate
does not agree to the resolution for
final adjournment on Wednesday to
hold up any amended resolution until
they can have an opportunity to vote
on their bill. A way out of the diff
Guilty was suggested yesterday which
may be put into operation tomorrow.
Tomorrow being suspension day, Mr..
Tawney may be recognized to move
that an hour on Tuesday be given to
the oleomargarine bill. AS this motion
will require two-thirds vote, the pow
ers that be are willing that the meas
ure be considered If it can command
such an overwhelming majority of the
House. There are a considerable num-
Der of disputed items on the appropria-
ton bills which the House probably
will settle by direct vote-the appro-
priation of Sc. 600 600 for the ST. Louis
exposition ana some less important
lens which the Senate placed upon the
sundry civil bill; the armor pate pro-
vision, and the paragraphs relative to
ocean and like surveys and the aboll-
tlon OF the sea course for naval cadets
in the naval appropriation bill and the
MileS-Corbin amendment on the mill
tary academy bill.
In the House there is nothing on the
horizon which threatens to prevent
final adjournment on Wednesday.
There is hardly any doubt that the
Senate will agree to the House reSolu-
Llon to adjourn the session next We'd
nesday. The passage of the last OF
the appropriation bills, which was ac-
complished Saturday, leaves no obsta-
Gle in the way of final adjournment
except the amendments made to those
bills by the Senate, and the opinion
is now almost universal that these diff
ferences can be adjusted and all the
business of the SESSION concluded by the
time named. The only two items OF
difference which might cause material
delay are the armor plate amendment
on the naval appropriation bill and the
amendment on the sundry civil appro-
priation in the interest of the st. Louis
exposition. The leaders of all parties
apparently are united in the wish to
bring the session to a close on We'd
nesday and by beginning the daily sit
tlngs early and allowing them to con-
tlnue late they will succeed.
The remainder of the session will be
given up to conference reports on the
appropriations to the consideration of
comparatively unimportant bills on
the calendar and to the making of
speeches on political questions. There
are half dozen Senators VINO want
to be heard at some length and they
will be accommodated.

THE SURVIVORS
OF the First National Conventions
Held in 1856, at Philadelphia
and Pittsburg,
Invited to be the Guests of Honor of
the Coming Republican Conven-
ton, to be Held at Philadelphia.

WASHINGTON, d. c.. June s.
The suggestion adopted by the COM
mittee in charge of the Republican ma
tional convention that the survivors Of

licans held at Pittsburg on February
%, 1856, and later at the convention
held in Philadelphia, on June 18th of
the same year, be specially honored

ton, came from William Paul Wey-
and, of Pittsburg The idea met the
approval of Senator Hanna, who has
sent the following letter to each Of the
surviving delegates:
1.-THE Republican national committee
presents its compliments and congrat-
ulations to you as one of the Republic
cans now living who participated in
the Republican convention of 1856, at
Pittsburg and Philadelphia, and on be-
half of the delegates to the coming Re-
publican national convention, extends
to you and your surviving associates
in those historic events, cordial in
vitation to be present at the conyen-
ton which meets on the 18th day of
June in the city of Philadelphia.
Nearly half a century has elapsed
since you participated in laying the
foundation of the Republican party;
you have witnessed its magnificent
growth, from a popular vote of 1,34l,-
264 and ia electoral votes cast for
Fremont in 1856. to a popular vote OF
7,104,779 and 271 electoral votes for
Mckinley in 1896; and therefore, the
Republicans of to-day, profoundly ap-
preciating the work of yourself and
other pioneers of our party, will feel
honored by your distinguished pres
ence, and we assure you most cordial
welcome.
With considerations of high esteem,
Very truly yours.
