I/t Is Said the President-Elect Would Like to Have the Senator in His Cab net. CLEVELAND, Ouro, Jan. 5,—Major Mc- Kinley leaves on the Baltimore and Ohio at 8:10 p'clock Wednesday morning for Canton to meet Senator W. B. Allison of Iowa, who will stop for a few hours in Canton on his way to Washington tc see the President-elect. The interview be- tween the senior Sepator of Iowa—who has twice decided to remain in the Senate when an important Cabinet position was offered him—and the President.elect, who is avowedly seeking the strongest men he can find for his official family, will be the most important political event which has occurred at McKinley’s home since the It is understood that Major McKinley would very much like to have Senator Allison in his Cabinet, but it is not known that an actual tender of the Probably the meeting to-morrow will determine whether such a tender is to be made at all. Major McKinley will return to Cleve- land Wednesday night and remaln here until early next week. There will be a number of politicians next week to see Major McKinley, and the number of peo- ple who called to see him to-day was so great that he has surrendered the notion that he conld secure a period of rest here. Among Mr. McKinley’s visitors to-day was Mr. Thurston of Nebraska, who dis- cussed some of the Senatorial contests. Senator Thurston and General William Osborne, secretary of the Republican Na- tional Committee, left for Washington this evening. The work of Cabinet-making has begun in real earnest and will proceed at a lively rate until about the 4th of March. Itis not expected that the Cabinet will be | finally completed until Major McKinley reaches Washineton. Senor F. G. Peirra, a representative of the Cuban Junta in New York, called on Major McKinley and explained at some leng h the wishes and claims of the insur- gents and their friends. General William Osborne has invited Major McKinley to make a visit to Bos- ton, but the present intention of the President-elect is to remain in Canton until March 1. gy Urators for the Jackson Day Banqust.

Exhaustive Inquiry by the Secretary of the Navy Through Englani and Francs. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 5—The Secretary of the Navy to-day sent in his report to Congress on the subject of armor plate. Under the act making appropria- tions for the naval service for the year ending June 30, 1897, Congress directed the Secretary to examine into the actual cost of armor plate and the price of the same, which should be equitably paid. The report of the Secretary sets forth at great length the methods and results of his investigation, which was conducted by himselt personally, with Captain W. C. Samson, Chief of the Bureau of Ordnance, and Chief Constructor Philip Hichbora as advisers. 2 Immediately after the passace of the act the Secretary called on the two contract- ing companies, the Bethleham Iron Com- pany of South Bethlehem, Pa., and the Carnegie Seel Company (Limited) of Pittsburg, Pa., requesting that they aid him with the information necessary to enable him to perform the duties 1mposed upon him by Congress. The two companies declined to give information, upon the ground that it was very unusual for Congress to inquire into the business of vprivate corporations. They, however, in October, made state- ments as to the cost of their plauts, and furnished suggestions to the Secretary as to the methods which sbould be adopted by him in estimating the cost of armor, and of their investments in the armor plates. The Secretary called together a board composed of Lieutenants Karl Rohrer, Kossuth Niles and A. A. Ackerman, two of whom had been inspectors of armor at the Bethlehem Company’s Iron Works. The other, Lieutenant Ackerman, had been connected with the manufacture and use of steel in its different forms for a number of years, and had been on duty in the Bureau of Ordnance. These gentle- men made an exhaustive report upon the | cost of labor ‘and material entering into | the cost of aton of armor. The result of their calculations was that the cost of labor and material in a ton of single- forged Harveyized nickel steel armor is $167 30. Lieutenant-Commander Rodgers, who had been inspector at the Bethlenem Iron Works, estimated the cost and labor and- material in a ton of single-forged Harvey- ized nickel-steel armor at $178 59. The inspector of ordnance at the Carnegie Steel Company, Ensign 0. B. McVay, who was also called upon for an estimale, re- ported that the labor and .material ina ton of single-forged Harveyized nickei- steel armor is $161 5. Adding 10 per cent to each of these estimates for loss due 1o rejections makes the estimate of the board $184 60; the esti- mate of Lieutenant-Commander Rodgers, $196 46, and of Ensign McVay, §$17769. ¥or retorzed nmickel-steel Harveyized armor the estimate of Lieutenant-Com- mander Rodgers is $20885 and of Ensign McVay 09. The Secretary in making his calcula- tions says that in order to be just to both the manufacturers and the Government he took an average estimare, which is $164 38 for single forged and $197 78 for re- forged armor, in making the calcuiations coutained in the report. Shortly after the passage of the act letters were written (o the naval attache at London and the naval attache at Paris, instructing them to secure additional in- formation as to the prices paid for armor 1o European manufacturers and as to the cost of establishing armor plants like those possessed by the two American companies, The question of the cost of establishing an armor plant being a material one, the Secretary personally visited Europe dur- ing the past summer for the purpose of prosecuting 1nquiries in this direction and als to make further inquiries as to the prices of armor. While abroad he visited & number of armoz-plants and machine-shops and se- cured two estimates, one made in France and the other in England, of tbe cost of erecting armor-piants. The French esti- mate was for the erection of an armor- lantat Guerigny, and was made by the french Government for the purpose of ascertaining the cost toerect an armor- piant in connection with the works of the Government already at that place. This estimate made by the Government of France for the erection in connection with its_plant, now making protective decks andequipment suppiies, is $700,000 all told. The Secretary estimates that, allow- ing for duties and for higher-priced labor in the buiiding of houses and installing of the plant, an_efficient armor-plant based on the French figures could be erected in this country for $1,400,000. The English estimate, made by a com- pany of experience and reputation; and which_is prepared to furnish the piant, puts the constraction at $567,000. This es- timate was referred to the chief of the Bureau of Ordnance, to be completed by adding the estimated cost of duties, build- ings, 1nstallments and other items deemed necessary to make it equal the Americun plants. As this completed the estimate for putting up a plant equal to that of the Carnegie Company, sald to have cost $3,000.000, it could not be erected for $1,590,000. The Secretary sets forth at some length the fact that the Bethlehem Company, be- ing the first to erect an armor plant in this country, necessarily made a number of costly “experiments, chief among which was the erection of a hammer, said to have cost between $400,000 and $700,000. He therefore has allowed the Bethle- hem Company in his calculations $1,000,000 more ag the cost of their plant than is allowed the Carnegie Company. He esti- mates on the basis of the English plant, with additions by Captain Sampson of $1,590 000 and allowing for the difference in prices between the present time and 1890, when the Carnegie Company’s plant was erected, his estimate would be that the Carnegie Company should be allowed $2,500,000 for its plani. As the plant of the Bethlehem Company, owing to its costly experiments, cost considerably more, he makes an additional allowance to them of $1,000,000, and his estimate would be that its plant cost $3,500,000, but he takes the statement of the companies as showing what the pants cost, The Secretary, upon - his return from Europe, sent an officer to Harrisburg, Pa., who secured copies of thereturns from the Bethiehem Company showing its capital authorized, sapiial paid in and dividends from 1889 1o November 1, 1896, inclusive. . This information was supplemented, er request by the Secretary, by the Betblehem Iron Company and by additional information secured from the &isis Tefund the money if it falls to cure. 25¢ | Bank of Pennsylvania, so that the Secre- tary had at hand the siatements of the Bethlehem Company as to their gross receipts, net receipts, dividends paid and surplus from 1889 to 1896 inclusive. This information was all from the company itself, and therefore important. From it the Secretary prepared a statement show- ing that whatever may have beenr he cost of the armor plant and the gun plant, whatever may have been paid for the secrets of manufacture or for patents, or whatever may have been the interest on the working capital, all tbose and other charges have been paid from the gross earnings of the company, and the resnlts show the company’s investment in the plant to make armor and gun steel for the Government have been returned with 22 per cent thereon. The Secretary, in another form, states the account of the Bethlehem Con:})uny with the Government as a profit aud loss account, based on the reports to the Audi- tor-General of Pennsylvania, which are from the company's statements from No- vember 1, 1889, to November 1, 1896, show- ing a balance of profit, 1889 to 1896 in- clusive, of §672,728. The reports made by the Carnegie Company, however, were so indefinite as to be practicaily of no value, and it was necessary for the Secretary to resort to the best evidence obtainable for the purpose of showing: First, the vaiue of its plant; second, the price of laber and material entering into a ton of armor; third, the amount that shiould be allowed the company for maintenance, and the amount of the plant upon which main- tenance should be allowed; and the ac- count of the Carnegie Company with the Government is stated in several ways, one table allowing a valuation of $3,000,000 for the plant, another at $2,500,000, and & third of §2,000,600. On a $3,000,000 valuation of the plant, allowing 5 per cent for maintenance, the rate claimed by the company. and 5 per cent on a working capital of $750,000, and allowing a dividend to the company of 10 per cent per annum on outstanding capi- tal, the Secretary shows that the entire cost of the plant is practicaliy exiine guished upon the completion of existing contracts, Assuming the cost of the plant to be $2,000,000, and allowing 10 per cent thereon ior maintenance, insurance, etc., and 5 per cent on working capital, and allowing 1034 per cent diviaend on oufstanding cap- ital investea in the plant, applying the surplus of the net earnings, after deduct- ing dividends for each period of six months to the extinguishment of the cost of the plant, the Secretary shows that the Carnegie Company will haye been on the 1st day of July, 1897, repaid every dollar it claims to have expended on its plant, and, after the allowance noted above, will bave made a profit on its investment up to the ime when that investment was ex- tinguisked by the repayment of the money of 15 per cent. The statute under which the report of the Secretary is made requires a report not only as to what is the actual cost of manu- facturing armor, but also what sum ought equitably to be paid for armor hereaiter. In dealing with this question the Secre- tary sets forth fully the great risk involved byfthese companies when their plants were erected, of having work for ouly a short time, and_that for many reasons their profits were necessarily expected to be larie. He also shows that the Govern- ment, having really created these plants, ougnt to perpetuate them, as such indus- tries are necessary in order to enabie this country to be independent 1n the impor- tant matter of public defense, He is of the opinion that the Government shounld pay for armor in the future a price suffi- ciently liberal to justify the contraetors 1n ke-ping their plants in order and ready at all times to manufacture armor whea occasion requires. He concludes that in view of all the cir- cumstances regarding the uncertainty of future contracts it would not be inequita- ble to allow the contractors 50 per cent profit upon the cost of manufacturing armor for the three ships now under con- tract. Adding 50 per cent to § per ton of armor gives $375. But the Secretary recommends that, as the nickel is now furnished by the Government, which makes an addition of $20 per ton in the rice of armor, it would be bejter in the uture to have the contractors igrnlsh this material, which would bring tte yrice up to $395 per ton; and allowing something for kee&;u! nickel on hand, he suggests that $400 per ton would be a fair and equitable price to pay for the armor for the Wisconsin, Alabama and Illinois. Eading his revort, the Secretary recom- mends that if Cengress shall determine upon any limit of price to be paid it shall also give the Secretary of the Navy power to erect or buy an armor plant and a gun plant, ana, if need be, to lease such plant or plants until it can construct one of its own. KENTUCKY'S ELECIORS, W. B. Smith, a Democrat, Among the Dozen Republicans. WASHINGTON, D. G, Jan. 5—The Secretary of State to-day {ransmitted to the Senate copies of certificates of final ascertainment of the electors for President and Vice-President from the several Btates. Governor Bradlev of Kentucky certifies that eleven Republican electors had received a plurality of the votes cast, as bad also W. R. Smith. a Democratic elector. Messrs. J. S. R. Welding and H. §. Howes, Republican electors, received a less number of votes than Smith, and each received the same number. The question as to which of the two, Welding or Howes, shall be the thirteenth elector is to be determined by the other electors when they meet. The Governor certifies to the election of but twelve. v PR o Foluminous Prec-dents. WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 5.—In the Senate to-day Hale submitted and had printed as a document a memorandum prepared by the Department of State on the method of recognition of foreign Governments and foreign States by the Government of the United States from 1789 to 1897, tending to show the accuracy of Secretary Olney’s contention that the recognition of foreign Governments should be exclusively an executive function in which Congress had no part. The pre- cedents cited were numerous. —_——— A Sure Thing for T. C. Platt, ALBANY, N.

Congressman B.wers Pleads the Cause of the Calilornia Fruit-Grower. Shows How $16,000,000 Sent Abroad Annually Could B: Kept in the Country. ‘WASHINGTON, D. C., Jan. 5. — The seventh day’s session of the Ways and Means Committee found the rooms well filled with those interested in the agricul- tural schedule, including live animals, dairy products, fruits, fish, meats, ete. W. H. Rockwell of Warren, Pa., en- gaged in raising, feeding and fattening cattle in Kansas and Mexico, was the 1irst speaker. He said that under the McKin- ley law cattle could not be imported from Mexico, as the tariff was probibitive. He had started business in Arizona in 1893, but on account of the dry season was forced to go to Mexico. The Kansas farmer, he said, was greatly benefited by the bringing of cattle from Mexico to Kansas, where they were kept from six to eichteen months. Last vear the cattle- men paid $22,000 to the Kansas farmers for grain alone, and this year the amount would be over $40,000. Much was also paid the farmers for their labor, and it was more profitable to tue farmer than raising cattle themselves. M. L. Sherman of Salina, Kans., also engaged in the cattle basiness, said that tha trade was ulmost entirely in the hands of Americansand that two-thirds of the cattle coming frowa Mexico were owned by Americans. Representative Curtis of Kansas asked for a duty of $10 per head on catule for one year. The Kcnsas raisers and feeders, he said, were injured and not benefiled by the importation of Mexican catile. it prevented them from raising stock them- selves. B Representative Bowers of California then took up the matter on which he ap- peared—the fruit trade. It was, he said, in the interest of all, the raiser and pro- ducer, to raise the present rates on fruit. The law now affords no protection to the growers and does not yield any revenue to speak of. It was suggested by a member of the commities that an increase in duty woula raise the price. Mr. Bowers repliea that it would not. On the contrary, the fruit- growers ot his State would guarantee to increase production and decrease prices. On ralsins, prunes, plums and all dried iruits he asked a duty of 3 cents per pound. This would in-are Americans a market and stimulate the industry. On oranges he requesied a duty of 25 cents per cubic foot. If the fruit-growers were given fair protection some $16,000,000, which was yearly sent abroad for fruit, would be kept at home. Senator Perkins of California presented the memorial of the i:-uit-growers ot Cali- tornia requiring the du.des mentioned by Mr. Bowers. He also indorsed what bis colletizue had said. T. B. Armstrong of Calhfornia, who, was speaking for the almond-growers, said that they had almost been ruined by the present law. He asked for an increase in the duty from 3 to 6 cents per pound, with 10 cents on shell-d almonds. Some $10,- 000,000 or $15,000,000, he said, was invested. Davis Lubin of California requested an export duty on all agricultural prodacts. A. J. Wedderburn, representing the Btate Grange of Virginia, appealed for an export bounty on agricultural products. E. N. Loomis, representing the produce merchants ofs New York City, asked for a low duty on early vegetables, especially potatoes and onions. Replying to a ques- tion, he said that the admission of these producis would not damage the trade of Calitornia or the Southera States. Representative Russell of Connecticut presented the petition of the seed farmers of southern New England, advocating a specific duty according to the following schedule: Five cents per poundon all turnip, rape, spinach, parsley, beet and mangold; 15 cents per pound on celery, lettuce, endive; 20 ceuts per pound on cabbage, kale, onion, salsify, tomato; 20 cents per bushel on_ peas and Dbeans; 40 cents per pound on kohlrabi; 50 cents per pound on caulifiower; all seeds not enumerated, 60 per cest ad valorem. A committee, composed of Burnet Landreth, W. F. Greer and W. A. Burpee, all of“Philadelpbia, appeared in behalf of the seed farmers, seed importers and laborers. Mr. Landreth urged a specific duty levied on the bushel or pound and an increase in the rates on garden seeds. He suggested the following schedule: Five cents per pound ov all seed of table beats, sugar beets, kale, leek, lettuce, mangel- wurzel, parsley, radish, rutabaga, rape, spin- ach, turnip, and on all vegetable seeds not otherwise provided for; 10 cents per pound on all seeds of carrot, celery, onion and salsify; 20 cents per pound on all seeds of cabbage. caulifiower and {omato; 15 cents per bushel of sixty pounds on potatoes; 40 cents per bushel of sixty pounds on all beans and peas; 20 per Centon all flower seeds; $5 per 1000 packors on seeds o! every kind in packets; tne free to include mushroom spawn, aromatic seeds, pot herbs, medicinal seeds, castor beans, cotton, canary, clover, hemp, tree, tobacco, mustard, flax, poppy, sorghum and grass, and’ oil seeds and vetcne Representative D. F. Wilber of New York presented the vetition of the Na- tional Hay Association requesting a duty of $4 per ton on hay. He also spoke for the hop farmers of New York, who, he said, since the Gorman-Wilson bill be- came a law, which reduced the duty on hops from 15 cents to 8 cents per pound, had been forceg to sell their product for less than the cost of production. At the request of Representative Sher- ham of New York the testimony relatin, to hops taken when the McKinley bill in preparation was ordered printed as a part of to-day’s proceedings. T. J. Baker of Charleston, 8. C., and F. G. Ernst of New Orieans, on behalf of the rice-growers, asked for a protective duty on this product. A. J. Toomey of New York asked fora duty of 2 cents per pound on macaroni, to make up in part the difference in labor between the United States and abroad. F. Woodruff of Brooklyn opposed any i:hnnga 1 the salt scheaule of the present aw. E. W. Brown of New York, representing the salt manufacturers of the United States, suggested the re-enactment of the McKinley law provisions regarding salt. W. A. Hadley of Boston held that a duty on”foreign salt was entirely unnec- ssary. R.{K Backer spoke for the Michigan saltmakers, many of whose mills had been compeiled to close down on account of the low price of that article. He wished the salt clause of the McKinley law re- enacted. C. H. McKue of Boston spoke for the fishermen of the United States. He asked for an increase of three-fourths of a cent er pound in the duty on mackerel, one- ourth of a cent on cod and a new clause giving 134 cents on skinned and boneless d a/l other fish. .nFA x‘}’V.QKelse\', representing the Florists Cluh of New York City, aivocated a duty of 10 per cent advalorem on all trees, shrubs, vines and bulbs. 2 The committee adjourned until fo-mor- row, when schedule “K,” raw wool, will pe taken up. — ANOTHER POLISH CHURCH RIOT.

BAY CITY, Micr., Jan. 5. — The St. Stanislaus Polisn Church troubles, which have been agitating the communicants of that parish for more than a year, broke cut afresh to-day, and a riot ensued in which one man was shot and severely in- jured and several others were badly burt by being beaten with ciubs, The injured are: Joseph Bartkowik, shot in the neck and breast; James Staz- hinski, beaten into insensibility with clubs; Alexander Yonkowjak, severely beaten with clubs; Police Officer Fiizger- ald, beaten with clubs.

He also refused to give up the banner of the society, which was in the chureh, and a riot was only averted at that time by the priest delivering the ban- ner to the infuriated Poles. ‘The warring faction held a meeting last aight and decided to reopen the war. Shortly after 10 o'clock this morning a mob began to gatherabout the churchana parsonage. They demanded that Father Bogacki and his bodyguard leave the building, which the priest refused. te do. Then the mob attacked the parsonage. The handful of police which had been sta- tioned about the house were powerless to stop the onsiaught of the rioters. A fusil- lade of stones, bricks, clubs and every bandy missile was directed against the house. An attempt was made to break in the front door, when Officer Fitzgerald, who was on daty inside the house, it is claimed, fired at the leader, Joseph Bart- kowik, two bullets striking(him—one in the neck and the other in the breast. In the meantime, James Stazhinski, Joseph Sroki and Alexander Yonkowjak of Father Bogacki’s bodyguard tried to escape by jumping from the windows. Sroki managed to get away from the crowd, but Stazhinski and Yonkowjak were nearly beaten to death before the police could rescue them. Father Bogacki and the rest of his body- guard took refuge in the cellar, where they remained until 1 o’clock this afternoon, when an agreement was reached whereby Father Bogacki and Oflicer Fitzgerald were promised a safe passage if they would vacate the house. When the priest and officer appeared, the latter became scared and started torun. He was clubbed several times over the head, but managed to leave the mob behind and give himself up to the authorities at the Central sta- tion. Bogacki was not molested, and was driven to the &t. James parsonage. After the priest had vacated the crowd slowly dispersed. During the riot, it is said, dozens of shots were firad. There is fear that the police will set fire to the parsou- age to-night. S NEBRASKA BIMETALLIST RALLY. Mr. Bryan and Other Prominent Men to Make Addresses.

Terrible Accident on the Chicago, Bur- lington and Quiney Koad. CARSON, Iowa, Jan. 5.—A passenger train on the Carson branch of the Chicago, Burlington and Quincy road was wrecked this morning near here.

By hard work the trainmen and uninjured rescued tne injured aud prevented loss of life by fire, though some of the injured may yet die. The injured are: Robert Aitkins of Henderson, will probably die of internal THE BARS OF HEALTH once down, disease finds an easy en- trance. If there is a weak spot in the body, dis- ease-germs will find it. They will lodge right in that spot and unless they are driven out at once, will increase and multiply and grow into seriousness. Weakness is a predisposition to disease. ‘Whether the weakness be local or gen- eral, it is dangerous. Good hea?thy strength all over the body is the best safeguard against disease.” Debility of any kind is a direct invitation to serious sickness. The reason that Dr. Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery cures g8 per cent. of all cases of consumption if taken in the early stages of the disease, is that it puts the whole body into a hearty, healthy condition. The poisonous tuber- cular ‘matter is thrown off by the lungs, and the pure, rich blood cours- ing through them, quickly stops the inflammdtion, heals the broken mem- branes and makes the lungs perfectl strong and sound. Consumption is marked by wasting away of the bodily tissues and vice versa, A wasting of the flesh brings on consumption. = Doctor Pierce’s Golden Medical Discovery in- duces the accumulation of sound, hard, healthy flesh. Tt increases the appetite and the capacity of the digestive organs for the assimilation of food. Itisa puri- fier, a tonic and a powerful curative rem. edy, all in one bottle. All who will send hurts; William Menn of Sidney, will prob. ably die; Wuliam Lamb, express agent, probably fatally hurt; John Zearles, con- ductor, injured, but will probably re- cover; Miss Mae Paul of Henderson. not dangerously burt; Bert Curran, brake man, shoulder dislocated, but not danger- ously hurt. The injured have all been brought here, The Railroad Commissioners are expected from Des Moines to-morrow to investigate the cause of the accident. L e GEO.
