ARMOR PLATE.

In reporting favorably by vote of nine to three, al

the bill was under consideration, the committee was

that time of the largest iron plants in the country was
induced by the secretary of the navy to manufacture

In 1898 the senate became convinced that collision

the following year the first bill for the erection of gov

1891 declared that the charges made by the Bethlehem
