ARMOR PLATE METHODS.
Company at Pittsburg Has Evolved "a
Cheaper and Better System.

PITTSBURG, March 80. - The Carbon
Steel Company believes that 1t has solved
the problem Of cheaper armor plate. J.
w. Anderson. general superintendent Of
the company, has been at work for num-
Der of years on a secert process of manu-
facture, and information from an authori-
tative source is that recent experiments
made by him were entirely successful and
confirmed his faith in the new process.
The officers of the company refuse to dis
cuss the subject. but do not deny that they
expect to enter the field Of armor-plate
manufacture. The company claims for its
process not only reduced cost, but greater
rapidity of manufacture, coupled with SUI
perior quality. as compared with the Har-
vey and Krupp processes.
1t has heretofore been thought that to
cast ingots for arrnor plate was imprac-
ticable. The Carbon Steel Company has
not only succeeded in casting ingots for ar
NOR plate, but also in rolling the ingots
into plates for which perfection is claimed.

them from the operation of an ordinary
provincial government, except so far as
concerned their relations with the other in
habitants. The judge invited the opinion OF
the delegates, especially in reference TO the
governments expenses and resources. The
responses showed that the large herds Of
cattle formerly on the island of Mindanao
had practically disappeared. making ii i'm
possible to cultivate the lands for two
years past. and that the people would be
unable to support the ordinary provincial
government.
General Kobbe recommended that the
island be divided into two provinces in
stead OF the five provinces established by
the Spaniards. The commission adopted a
resolution 10 the effect that the towns OF
the Zamboanga peninsula be united under
one head and that the territory wherein
these towns are situated become part Of
one great province. to include half or the
whole of Mindanao island. The commits
sion declared that no provinces would be
created until the commissioners had visited
the other towns of the island.
