yard: :rrrts .'-7Si'.i'
While extracting fuse from an eight
inch shell at Fort Lafayette the shell
exploded, killing three civilian employees

Admiral Oneil, chief Of ordnance, said
that several months ago he had issued
orders for the removal OF the greater
part Of the ammunition stored at Fort
Lafayette to the new naval magazine on
Iona Island, forty miles up the Hudson.
He assumed that this order had been
pretty nearly fulfilled at the time of the
explosion. In that case the stock on the.
island would be very small, made up
mostly Of the temporarily deposited am
munition OF naval ships in dry-doclsi

tinl recovery was made by both issues
before the ciose.
The attack OF Metropolitan began soon,
after the opening OF the market, and
gained In force shortly after noon when
rGmors Of many sorts were circulated.
One OF these rumors reported defalca-
ton of several million dollars, while ru-

there were heavy selling of orders Of

s WASHINGTON, D. c., February 49,
AT the end Of q protracted session tho
House to-day passed tho naval appropria-
tion BILL A great many amendments
were offered to the provisions relating to
tho increase OF the personnel and the nu-
thoriaation OF new ships to be built. Tho
nest important amendment adopted was
ono to authorize the Secretary OF the
Navy in his discretion to purchase or
contract for submarine torpedo boats af-
ter investigation OF their merits, and ap-
propriating 100000 for that purpose. The
amendment was in the language OF a
bill introduced by Mr.. Hill, OF Connects
cut, and It was stated on the floor that
1t had the support of all the members
OF the Naval Committee. It was adopted
practically without debate The words
authorizing the construction of the new
Bhips by contract" were stricken out
Amendments were adopted requiring the
use OF domestic machinery and materials
in the ships and authorizing the Secre-
tary OF the Navy to construct the ships
in government yards in the event OF a
combination OF bidders.
Mr. Gaines (DemocraD, OF Tennessee,
iaised a point OF order against the APP

DILATORY TACTICS.
(By Associated Press

WASHINGTON, February ls.-There Is
movement on among some OF the
friends OF the statehood bill in the SEN
att to couple the fortunes Of that mea-
sure with those Of the Panama canal
treaty and make the ratification OF the
one depend upon the passage OF the
other. The details OF the plan have not
come to light fully. but 1t Is understood
that the scheme Is to menace the treaty
by delay until nm agreement to vote upon
the statehood bill can be secured. Many
OF tho statehood advocates on both sides
OF the chamber say they will not allow
Senator Morgan to be forced by test
OF physical endurance to complete his
speech in opposition to the treaty before
he is willing to conclude Of his own
accord.
The rumor OF such purpose was cur
rent about the Senate before the execu-
tive session began at 1890 to-day, and
those who had heard 1t merely as a
rumor were convinced that 1t was not
without foundation in fact. Instead of
Senator Morgan resuming his speech soon
after the executive session began to-day
Senator Quay addressed the chair and
sent up some documents to be read. q
among which was the constitution Of
Colombia. He made no explanation be-,
yond saying that the documents would
throw light on the subject, and that he
thought that especially at this time the
visions OF the constitution Of the country
with which the United States Is doing
business
Mr.. Quay took the copy Of the Colom-
bia constitution. which he asked to have
read, from quite large pile Of docu-
ments which lay on his desk, and when
he asked to have 1t read the Republican
Senators sitting near him Immediately
reached the conclusion that he had united
his forces with Senator Morgan and that
the step was intended to force the ac-:
'ceptance of the statehood bill.
Without giving voice to such aAsuppo-
sition Senator Aldrich objected etoA.the
reading Of the document by the clerk,
saying that evidently the proceeding was
merely intended for the purpose Of delay.
Senator Quay replied that such was not
his intention. and that he would ask to.
have nothing read which would not
throw light upon the subject under con-
sideratIon. Senator Morgan also said
was no collusion. It was then agreed
that "for the present and until 1t should
become evident that the reading was for
delay 1t should continue.
The anti-statehood Republican Senators
made no concealment OF their surprise at
Mr.. Quay's proceeding, and all Of them
who would express an opinion Mt all
said that the move would not result in
the passage Of the statehood bill. what
They did not believe that 1t would pre-
vent ratification OF the treaty.
before Mr.. Quay took the floor Senator
iioar made brief speech In support of
the treaty, saying that since the Spooner
act had become a law the United States
IS IN honor bound to consummnte the
transaction provided for by that act.
