CENTRAL AMERICA.
WARSHIPS ORDERED TO WATCH
DISTURBANCES THERE.
tBy Telegraph to virginian- pllot.)


Washington. March 5.LThis state
ment was posted ut the Navy Depart
ment to-day:
THE Detroit and the Marblehead
have been sent to Central America on
account of dispatches received from
our representatives there, which indi-
cate some recurrence OF the disturbed
state of affairs, and for the purpose of
protecting American interests there"
The officials of both the State and
Navy Departments did not indicate
what representatives are meant. It
was stated in answer to inquiry that
the action of the Navy Department
was taken at the instance of the State
Department. which in turn was moved
to make a recommendation that ships
be sent, rather from general report of
threatening conditions In Central
America than from any specific off,
cial advices.
The trouble in the present instance
is supposed to grow out Of the organi-
cation in Nicaraguan territory of a
revolutionary expedition under the
leadership of MORA, the purpose or
which is to overthrow President lyle
Sias, of Costa Rica.

A CHURCH ON FIRE.

Sunday night. after the services NJ
Wright Memorial Church had closed
the janitor, MIR. Arlington, went into q
closet under the gallery steps to Gu,
the gas off from the church. He found
that the cutoff was hard to turn, sc
he took a large wrench and tried tc
turn it, and in doing so he broke the
nut off and let the gas pour out from
an inch -and-a-Quartcr pipe. Failing
to stop It he called for help. Some one
lit n match to see what to do. and III
doing so the gas caught on fire and sc,
fire to the church. a crowd soon gath
cred around. Mr.. james Cuthrell
turned in an alarm from box A. and
the department responded. The Hook
and Ladder was the first to arrive
Some gentleman present succeeded in
stopping the flow of gas by tying rugs
&C.. around the end of the pipe. They
too, caught on fire, but when the chem
ical extinguisher was put to work the
fire was put out almost instantly. The
only damage done was about s. to the
Gas Company and $50 to the church by
loss of rugs.
Mr.. White. superintendent of the Gas
Company, says that it was fortunate
that those present had presence of mind
enough to smother the gas with the
rugs and keep it confined in the closet.
If it had been out in the church there
would have been more danger. The
sexton should congratulate himself on
his narrow escape.

rect. He could see no reason why the
Senate should not set Itself Alright aud

marked Senator McIlwaine.

Alright said some other Senator.
Senator Flood claimed that the jour
nal was correct and could not be
changed. He did not think a constitu-
tional vote was required. He contend
ed that this was one of the most i'm
portant acts passed and one that would
force the wealthy people to pay their
portion of the taxes and take a part
of the burden now imposed upon the
poorer classes.
GOVERNORS MESSAGE.
Before MIR. Flood had concluded his
remarks Private Secretary Owen sub
mitted the following communication
rom the Governor:

a majority of the members of your body
requesting me 10 withhold my signature
from House bill 553. providing for "'rhc

also received Il strong personal request
from members of the House. including
tie chairman OF the Finance Commit
tee. and some members Of the Senate
requesting me not to let the bill die. In
view of these conflicting requests. and
also because ! feel il to be my duty not
u defeat legislation by Withholding my
signature unless the measure is palpa-
bly, in violation of good policy or clear
~ unconstitutional. have decided to
sign the bill at once, thus giving the
General Assembly an opportunity to
amend or repeal the act II. i'm their
judgment. it is desirable or necessary.

]. HOGE TYLER.
THE GOVERNOR DENOUNCED.

Senator Glass denounced Governor
Tyler for his action. saying that he
must bear whatever odium that might
attach to the bill, since he knew when
he signed 1t that Il resolution had been
introduced in the Senate to the effect
that no more bills should be introduced
without unanimous consent
Mr.. Glass continuing, said this bill
was the worst bill passed bY the Leg
islaturc since the Capitol was built. He
was glad he had washed his hands
clean of the whole latter 1t was the
most remarkable proceeding. that
Senator'S had submitted Il written APP
peal to the Governor TO withhold his
signature until persons Interested could
be heard. Even While the matter was
under consideration it had been semi
officially announced that the Governor
had stated in his message that he acted
at once i'm order to give the Legislature
time to amend or repeal the laws He
ought to have known that under the re
solution adopted last week no new leg
islation could be offered except by un-
animous consent. The Governor had
refused to give the people the right to
be heard. 1t was nm amazing PROPOSE
ton and the Governor would have to
bear the odium Of it.
Mr.. Glass rddled the bill by n power
full argument
In concluding his remarks Mr.. Glass
offered bill repeating the law just ap-
proved. but Senator Lyle objected and
AIR. Glass tore his bill IN. MIR. Lyle
withdrew his objection and Senator
Clayton introduced a repeal act. 1t was
decided however, 10 press the motion
to correct the Journal.

ing:
Whereas. The Journal of the Senate

scribed by the Constitution of the state,
not having received twenty-one votes.

PITTSBURG, Pa, April 23.-Stagnation
Of trade in iron and steel circles was no.
ticeable to-day as a result of the cut of
the American Steel and Wire Company,
but the principal manufacturers declared
that the prices would be held firm although
they knew that business would be held
back for a day or two. Almost every
manufacturer admits that the past few
days have been the most critical in the
iron and steel business for more than two
years. The cut nail manufacturers, it is
said, will try to adjust their prices with
those of the combine. B. F. Jones. jr..
treasurer of Jones & Laughlins, limited,
one of the most conservative iron firms in
the country, said to-day that the reduction
i'm wire and wire nails would have no effect
in other lines in the iron and steel business
as far as prices were concerned. He said
that the wire combine had made excessive
advances in wire nails, and that the con-
Stunning public had waited in the hope of
securing their needs at lower prices. The
result is that business has been somewhat
dull, but he said that the consumers had
about made up their minds to buy because
of pressing needs when the unexpected cut
of the wire combine was announced. Mr..
Jones thought the iron and steel mar
ket would not be affected, that pig iron
would not be reduced in price and that the
time. The demand for iron and steel of all
kinds was too strong to give any indica-
ton of weakening just now, and the man.
ufacturers were not in the least fright
past week. Mr.. Jones was sanguine that
it would only require a few days for the
market to steady itself and leave every
thing adjusted and in highly prosperous
condition.
other conservative steel manufacturers
held the same opinion.
