 Tn addition to the question of facil- tties considered by the Board in mak- ing its recommendation, the Board in. vites attention to the individuality of awarding to the Midvale Steel Com pany a further contract for armor, the company has demonstrated its inability to manufacture suitable armor under it's existing contract at a rate that is required.
 While the MidvaIe Steel Company has submitted trial plates that has withstood the required ballistlc tests. 1t has not yet commenced the regular production of armor fin quantity. and the Bureau does not deem that the production of the trial plates submit ted such a guaranty that the company can produce suitable armor in the quantities required, as would warrant the Department at this time to award to that company further contract for armor

Burlington, Wabash and other railroads involving reconsignments of hay at East St. Louis and the alleged violation of the first three sections of the inter. state commerce act.
 Judge c. A. Prouty of Vermont pre- sided at the hearing. The hearing was not finished today and will De resumed tomorrow.
 Joseph w. Dye, secretary and treasu- " of the St Louis Hay and Grain Com pany who in addition to frequent trips to the witness stand also acted as att torney for his concern, detailed the charges against the railroads. He stated that for the last twenty-four months the terminal facilities in East St. Louis had been so congested that the cost of moving hay and other com modities was greater than 1t had ever before been. t+
 MT. Dye said that since January 1, 1903 the railroads entering East St. Louis had imposed a charge of g on every carload of hay that they recon signed to his warehouses or other parts of the yards, but had not im- posed any charges for reconsigning wheat and other grain.
 MT. Dye further stated that the re- consignment charge was not only inn posed on hay consigned direct to St. Louis hay and grain company. but also on carload lots bought by him after they had reached their destination in the yards.
 The commission will go from here to Texarkana, Texas and take up case of the Hope Cotton Company against the Texas Pacific Railroad regarding the refusal to accept carloads of cotton seed at published rates and the Ques- tion of hay rates from Colorado and Kshsas points to Texas, same firm against the St. Louis and San Francis co and other roads relating to over charge on shipments of corn from Indian Territory to Texas.
 The commission will hear arguments in the grain differentiai case April at Washington.

 Probably Lost.
 Boston, Feb. 21 IA fire causing im- mense losses broke out on Pier 4 of the Hoosaic Tunnel Docks, Charles town. early today. Its origin has not been determined. but it Is believed to have started from spontaneous com bustion.
 Five alarms brought the greater part of the. apparatus of the city to the scene. The flames spread with start ling rapidity, communicating with the Furness-Leyland line steamer Phila- delphia which was tied along side the pier and in few moments was in a mass of flames from stem to stern. It is feared that two of the sailors have been lost. When the flames were discovered most of the crew jumped overheard. Captain Dinkinson himself hanging by rope over the boats side until he was assure that no one remained on board. From the Philadelphian the flames jumped over to the steamer Dal- ton Hall of the Antwerp Line which was soon aflame. 1t is thought that the crew of the Dalton Hall escaped. The flames are apparently unchecked and beyond control.
 The two fire boats responded to the dldEh puI TUT an nOuF the WAteE thrown by them had no appreciable effect up- on the flames. The wharf was filled with valuable imported goods. The Philadelphian arrived here Saturday from Liverpool The Dalton Hall was loaded with valuable cargo and was to have sailed tomrrow. Piers three and four have been destroyed and the steamers Michigan of the Warren Line and the Martello are threatened It is thought the loss will be nearly $1,00o,- OOO

CONTRACT CANCELLED.
Change in ArmOr Manufacturer Has
 Been Explained.


 Washington. Feb. 2O-secretary Nor ton has transmitted to the House sts tcment on the subject of the can cellation of the armor contract with the AIidvale Steel Company of Decem- Der IS, 1903, and of the rejection of the bid of that company February :. 1905, in response to a recent resolution of that body. The statement is made up of an explanation by N. T.. Mason. Chief of Ordnance, and the correspond ence in the case consisting of thirty printed pages.
 With reference to the cancellation of the contract 1t is stated that the Navy Department would have become liable to ship contractors for claims for de- lay if the action had not been taken. The Midvale people were consulted and expressed willingness to accede to the bureaus tentative suggestion" and thereupon the proper steps were taken Telinduishlng the contract and to pro- vide for the construction of the armor by the Bethlehem. Company.
 In letter from the Midvale Com pany relinquishing the contract, the statement is made: And the com pany in making this reiinquishment does not in any way recognize it's tn- ability to furnish the tonnage relln- quished in ample time for the require ments of the ship builders But it takes this action in the line of the policy which it always has adopted fn its relations with the government, not to permit any consideration of private advantages to be considered by it that might in any way embarrass the De- partmeht, or cause the Department to become involved in unfortunate com plicatiOns with ship builders"
 As to the rejection Of the recent bid the following explanation is made by MF. Mason, Chief of the Ordnance Bu- reau:
 Tn making thls recommendation the bureau has followed the recommenda- tiOns of a special board of five officers. experienced in the manufacture of armor. that has given careful consid- eration to the question of the probable ability of tho different bidders to meet the requirements of the Department se to the delivery of the aFmor required

Company in Washington to obtain a renewal of the Foster lease have, 1t is stated. caused the oil producers of Kan sas, who are behind the Legislation aimed at that company more apprehen- sion than anything else.
 The investigation of the Standard oil Company's methods in Kansas. which the President has directed Commits sioner Garfield to make, while much desired in Kansas, is regarded here as a minor question in comparison with the movement to annual the Foster lease. Once secure in its renewal of this lease the Standard would. some of the Kansas legislators declare, be independent of all other production and the thousands of dollars which have been invested in the Kansas and Indian Territory field bringing dividends would be wasted and destroyed
 Frank c. Prouty, a member of the lower house of the Oklahoma Territorial Legislature was in Topeka today to learn what he could about oil Legislation. He was in conference with Representatives of the Kansas oil Producers Associa- ton and will carry back with him to Oklahoma copies of laws which Kan sas has passed in its fight on the Stan dard Oil Company. These bills will. it is said. be introduced in the terri. torial legislature this week and an attempt will be made to rush them through at once.

Tt is the turn of America to take up and continue the work which was so well begun in 1897, and to see that 1t is placed in hands equally capable. The field is the most inviting one that the world has to offer today. be- cause the results attending its thor ough investigation may prove of un- told value and will certainly have an interest for no people so profound and far-reaching as they have for our own.
 Central and South America used $3, ,000.0 1000 of our goods last year. They being our nearby neighbors our trade with them should be largely increased.
 From correspondence based on con sular reports 1t will be seen that the Mediterranean, Red Sea and Persian Gulf regions are clamoring for our goods and for reasons removable can- not obtain them.
 "Mr. President, we believe these markets can be so developed that they will become large users of our goods.
 We therefore respectively request that you obtain authority from Com gress to appoint to begin this work at once a special commission to take steps for the extension of the export markets for cotton products to China. Central and South America, the Per- sian Gulf. the. Mediterranean and Red Sea regions"
 In cohclusion. the address called at tention to the fact that in half g. century from 1850 the value of cotton products has grown from SIPS, ,769. 900 in 1850 to $72i.94s, 900 in 1900. and that if we add to these figures the value of the products of the linen. jute, hemp and bagging mills of the country. there is an additional product of 3,022, 900. making the total value of the products of our textile mills, when they finally reach the markets. $1,134,971,77S This 1t is added. does not include our great cotton seed industry which represents a value of about S60.0OO.O .O00 and which under the influence of the Grout bill is selling It's oil today at cents 9 gallon under its relative value to other | oils and greases" :"
