CASH FOR ARMOR PLANT
IS NOT NOW AVAILABLE
Acting Controller Force Says 1900
Appropriation Was Covered
Into the Treasury.

The appropriation of S4,000000 June
I. 1900, for the construction of a gov
ernment armor plant in the event that
armor for naval construction could
not be purchased at price deemed
reasonable by the Secretary of the
Navy is no longer available.
. Secretary Daniels inquiry as to the
availability of the appropriation should

table, in his opinion. receives the reply
from the acting controller of the Treas
ury, c. NJ FORE. that the fund has
been covered into the Treasury.
Constituting the proviso of the law
Acting Controller Force considers that
1t relates only to the expenditure of
the appropriation made for armor and
armament of vessels then under con-
struction or construction authorized.
Upon this theory he decides that the
appropriation for an armor plant would
not exist after the armor was procured
by contract, as has been done, accord
ing to Secretary Daniels.
Whether or not this is a correct rul-
ing is not a matter of great import
ance. Acting Controller Force COM
ments, for the reason that it became
unavailable for use after July /, 1904,
by operation of the law covering un-
used appropriations into the Treasury.

report of the investigation into the
sinking of the Italian steamship An
coma by a submarine off the -Tunisian
coast November was sent to, Thomas
Nelson Page, the American ambassador
at Rome, last night. The investigation
reached the conclusion that the sub
marine fired a shell against the wire
less apparatus aboard the Ancona with
out any warning.
The captain brought the vessel i'm
mediate tely to q halt. The submarine
having hoisted the Austrian flag, the
investigators found, the Ancona was
about to hoist the Italian ensign, but
the flag reached only half way up the
mast when the submarine launched a
torpedo which struck the steamer
amidships.
The captain of the Ancona, the
official account says. ordered the life
boats lowered, but while this was being
done the submarine continued hrlng
against the steamers boats. Some OF
the boats were pierced by shots, obllg-
ing the survivors to use their clothes
to stop the holes. In the meanwhile,
1t is alleged, those on board the sub
marine jeered at their victims.

FEARS POWERS MIGHT
M|SC0NSTRUE ITS AID
Commerce Department Turns Over
French Purchasing Commission to
U. S. Chamber of Commerce.

Fearing that any aid it might give
the French purchasing commission now
in this country might be misconstrued
by other governments, the Department
of Commerce is careful about having
it's name connected with the body. The
commission, therefore, is to be assisted
in its inspections of the country's IN
dustries by the Chamber of Commerce
of the United States, which has placed
its entire machinery at it's disposal.
Several members of the commission
were in conference this morning with
+. H. Goodwin, secretary of the ma
tional chamber, concerning their mis-
sion into this country. Mr.. Goodwin
said that the members would go alone
to various cities in the country, where
arrangements would be made by the
chamber of commerce for their inVesti-
cations.
Where there are no officers of the
chamber, the members of the commits
sion will be put in touch with the or
ganiZations connected with the national
trade body. Following their confer
ence with Mr.. Goodwin the members
went to the Department of Commerce
for a conference with DIR. e. Z. Pratt,
chief of the bureau of foreign and do
meStic commerce.
Only Part of Commission Here.
only nVe members OF the commission
came to Washington. They are Maurice
Damour, Jacques Lesueur. G. Chouf-
foud. l.. Nibien and E Delassale-
Thiriez. The other members are l..
Trincano, Jacques Neu1ize, A Saladin
and Joseph Guinet.
The commission came to this country,
it is said, to look for machinery of
various kinds. 1t is understood that 1t
is particularly interested in machinery
which can be used in the equipment of
arsepals in France. 1t is believed that
the purpose of the commission to pur-
chase this kind of machinery was re-
sponsible for the determination of the
federal government agents to deny it's
trade boosting machinery to it.
The commission was entertained yes
terday afternoon at the French en-
bassy The members plan to leave to-
night for New York, where the full
commission will work out it's plans for

position he was appointed general SUI

boast of it himself-that he never for

ever known.
In the passenger station of the Erie
railroad station in Jersey City, one

man in overalls stood waiting on the
platform. He was a brakeman in the
employ of the company and he
watched nervously. anxiously, the men
and women who thronged the station
from the incoming trains.

the gateman, who had noticed his
eagerness.
