THE SAN FRANCISCO CALL, SATURDAY, JULY 17, 1897. ARGUMENTS ON ARMOR PLATE Three Hundred Dollars a Ton a Sufficient Price. Members of the House Make 2ccusations Against the Manufacturers. King of Utah Scores the Carnegle Company and Ex-S:cretary Hearbert. WASHINGTON, D. C., July 16 —After an animated and at times scmewhat- acri- monious debate the House to-day empha- »d its belief, once beiore expressed (in ast Congress), tha: $300 a ton wasa sufficient price to pay .tor armor-plate. Thne subject was presented in a partial ar- gument on the general deficiency bill. The vote was 142 to 45, 8 much greater ma- jority than thai shown by the vote on the naval appropriation bill near the close of the Fifty-fou Cong The amend- mer s thus agreed to directs the Secre- tary of the Navy, in case he cannot con- tract for armor at that price, 1o initiate the construction of an armor plant for the Government. An agreement was ordered on the amendment authorizing the immediate use of §50,000 of the appropriation for 1m- proving Cumberland Sound by sluicing snd dredging at the entrance to the sound; also appropriating $3000 for re- moving obstructions in Kootenai River above Jennings, Mont. The armor-plate amendment gave rise to an extended debate, notable for the heat with which accusations were made azainst armor-plate preducers. Boutelle of Maine opposed the action of the Senate, reviewing length the history of the establisument of an armor-plate plant in this country. He asserted the United States paid no more for its armor-plate than the Governments of foreign nations, and that it would not be economical for the Government to install a plant of 1ts own, which was the only alternative. King of Utah said the facts proved that the Carnegie Company were rascals and scoundrels, who had sought in their con- tracts with the Government to foist upon it improper and imperfect work. It was conclusively provea, he said, that fraud had been practiced, “‘and it is a discrace for Congress 1o deal with that company.’ He preferred that the completion of ships on the stocks should be postponed for ten yesrs. Dalzell of Pennsylvania argued against hate amendment, and quoted from figures in the report by ex-Secretary Her- bert relating to the cost of armor plate, asserting they showed that the estimates the cost of plate variel from $332 to nearly $620 2 ton. King interrupted to ask if the ex-Secre- tary was not now a private attorney for Carnegie. Dalzell—I know nothing about that, and wnatevef 1 tnought I should not make scch an insinuation on ihe floor of tne House against an absent gentleman, Simpson of Kansas expressed h's readi- to postpone for tweity years the completion of ships now un the stocks rather than to suarrender to the armor m acturers. The opponents of ment endea th ness the Senate amend- red unsuccessfully to stave off the aciion. The vote resulted: Ayves 142 noes 45. The House further insisted on disagreement to the remaining items in dispute, and at 6:35 P. M. adjourned until Monday. s e SESSION OF .HE SENATE. Fartial Reporton the General Deficiency Bill Made, WASHINGTON, D. C, July 16.—The Senate spent the chief part of its time to- day in executive session, the doors having been closed at 1:300’clock and not opened until 6, when an ad journment took place. During the hour and a half of public ses- sion a partial report of the conference committee on the general deficiency bill was made and agreed to. No concl.usion. however, had been reached -on the most important item, tuat lim:ting the average price paid for armor-plate for three new battle-ships 10 $3%0 2 ton. Further con- ferer.ce with the House was asked on that and seven other items s:ill in dispute, A motion to sdjourn over till Monday was made by a Republican Senator, Quay, and supported by the votes of most of his party colleagues, with Allison at their head, while nearly all the Democratic Senators voted no. The position of the Republicans on that vote would appear to indicate no expectatioa on their part of a very early conference report on the tariff bill. The bill requesting the President to sus- pend the agreement with the reconstruc- tion committee of the Union Pacific Rail- road and to clear -off liens that are para- mount to that of the Government, was taken up, and Allen (Pop.) of Nebraska concluded the argument which he had begun yesterday in favor of it. No action was taken. CHUECH >10LM IN LNGLAND, AveRbishop Vaughaw’s Seyrmon and the Queen at a Herctie. LONDON, Exg., July 16 —A storm has been created in the Shurch of England by some of the pussages in the jubilee ser- mon of Cardinal V n, Catlolic Arch- bishop of Westminster. Owing to the fact that it was preached at the height of tiie jubilee festivities it received but scant attention from the press, but it has since been put into pam- phlet form and a gquarter of a million coptes printed for distribution in the vari- ous dioceses. The passages that have raised a rumpus are those in which the Cardinal congraitlates the high church party in the Churck of £ngland upon hav- ing become permeated with Catlolic doc- trines and practices, ana in which he ex- yressed his thanks for this “partial con- version” to the old faith in England. The church papers also contend that in thanking God *for the divine favor which surrounded the Queen with a svecial grace from the beyinning of her reign’’ the Cardinal literally admits that his church is not the only true church, in- asmuch as, according to his own faith, Queen Victoria is a heretic. Hence, they say, the admission that a heretic can be endowed witn a special grace and be surrounded by divine favor 15 one of the most extraordinary that have ‘ever come from a Cathdlic prelate, It is understood that the address was directly inspired . from the Vatican and repre sents the Holy Father's personal senti- ments. e DTHR Nkl Houses Frecked by a Temblor.

Ser i YAQUIS IN A DEADLY DUEL. Settie a Love Disputs on a Railroad Track Heedless of the Whistle of an Approach.ng Train. GUAYMAS, Mexico, July 16—Two Yaquis went out on the railroad track six miles from town Monday night to settle a love dispute with Winchesters. Both of them braced up on mescal before they started, and they were drunk with alcohol and rage when they met. The south- bound train on the Sonora line came inat the meeting, and though the engineer blew his whistle sharply several times the quarreling braves heeded it not and with leveled guns were about to fire. The brakes were put on, but not soon enough, for who could guess that two redskins would stand on the track and pay no at- tention to a flyine passenger train coming toward them? One of the Yaquis was killed outright and horribly mangled by the engine, but the other jumped aside in time fo go back and wed the dusky maiden. Conductor Will Broderick and crew were held by the local authorities for a coupie of days untii the affuir had been thorough!ly investigated and_the aborigi- nal duelist buried. By that time Engineer Hall and all the train hauds were exon- erated, as there was ample evidence to show that they were blameless. —_— DRIFEN FEOM 1HE ISLAND.

She has been pos- ing for a portrait in a costume that dis- played her bodily charms. The police seized four of the portraits that they con- sidered the most improper, tut the lower court ordered the pictures returned, hold- ing that there was nothing about them to author.ze their seizure. Tha police authorities have announced that they will fight the matter to the bitter end, and have appealed to the hizher courts. S Sudtenly ¥lood-d the Lowlands. 8T.

Will Spend a Few Days in New York and Sai/ for Jepan From Vancouvay. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 16,—Consul- General Uchida of Japan received a cabie- gram to-day from the Japanese embassy at London stating that Prince Takehito Arisngawa, a nephew of the Mikado, will sail for this country on the steamship Umbria, July 17. The Prince was sent to England as Em- bassador tor the Queen’s jubiiee. He is rear-admiral of the Japanese navy and served with distinction in the war with China. He will be accompanied by Count Sawa, master of ceremonies of the im- perial household, and seven gentlemen of the Japanese court. Marquis Ito, who was one of his suits st the jubilee, will not come, as he has obtained permission to travel in Europe. The Prince will siay in this ciiy three davs and then go to Vancouver, where he will sail on the Em- press of India for Japan. ians. FER L SRS SHE SAILED AS “MR.” VELAS. Handome Spanish Girl Traveling in Male Attire. NEW YORK, N.Y., July 16.—A dark, good-looking young person in a loosely fitting check suit of light material at- tracted the attention of fellow-passengers on the steamship Seguranca, which ar- rived Wednesdav from Mexican and Cuban ports. He was only a second- cabin passenger who boarded tbe ship at Vera Cruz. He wrote his rame as “Alejandro Velas.” He smoked a pipe osten‘atiously and also chewed tobacco. His effort to appear very masculine led some of his fellow-passengers to suspect he was not. The immigration inspector at quaran- tine heard about the doubts aboard the Seguranca and notified Commissioner Senner. Velas was detained and con- fessed to being & woman. Her lawyer told the Commissioner that her mot:er allows the young woman, who is about 24 years old, an income sufficient to keep her. The girl said she was on the way to England to visit her parents. She said she would kill hereelf rather than put on peiticoats again. She said she had not worn them for nearly eight years and never intended to do so again. It was not her fault that she had been creaied a woman, She raid her father was a Span- iard and her mother a well-to-do Enelish woman. Sne was born at Manila, Philippine Islands, and when alittle girl had a strong desire to appear as a boy. She had worked at all sorts of jobs usually dcne by men since she first donned male garb. Her niother saw it was useless to 1ry to re- strain her. She went to Mexico, where she got a job of managing a farm, as she had had experience as a farmer. She had been in nearly every country in the world. After the immigration officials had de- cided to release her her lawyer bought her a first cabin passage for Southampton as “Mr. Velus.” Sue sailed in male attire to-day. When the Immigration Commis- sioner asked her just before she leit the barge office if there was anything she needed she gave him a $2 bill and asked him to gei her two plues of chewing to- bacco, a paper of smoking tobacco and a pipe. nas LT No Ailiance Yet Formea. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 16.—The As- socinted Press papers print a London dispatch giving an alleged explicit con- firmation of the offensive and defensive alliance petween Japan and Spain against t:e United States, w'th the addition that Canavos and Marquis Ito, the Japanese Premier, had a conierence at Madrid ye: terday and concluded a tacit if not a written agreement. The New York Sun’s London correspondent made inquiries to- day at the Amer.can and Spanish em- bassies and was informed that the mem- bers of the embassies were not aware of anything of the sort. Embassador Hay said he had heard nothing about it. e o i 3 Badlu Beaten and Died Alone. BT. LOUIS, Mo, July 16—W. C. Brown, a railroad man, aged 35 years, was found dead in bed this morning.

DREDGING OF HUMBULDT HARBOR. Offic:al Report Recommending That the Proposed Improvements Be Made at ths Goverameni's Expsnse, WASHINGTON, D. C., July 16.—The Secretary of War has transmitted to Congr. ss the report of Captain Cassius E. Gillette, corps of engineers, on the pro- posed examination and dredging of Hum- boldt harbor, California, as provided for in the Jast Congress. He says that ““Eureka is the princival shipping voint of the ter- ritory mainly benefited by the improve- ments at present going on at the entrance to Humboldt harbor. The bulk of the commerce which seeks this harbor goes to Eureka. The aveilable depth of the bar at present is twenty-two feet, whereas vessels drawing fifteen feet or less have difficulty in making 2 landing on account of lack of depth immediate!y in front of the wharves. The improvement under consideration is therefore one that should undoubtedly be made. The only question which arises is whether it should bg made at the expense of the United Siates or by the owners of the wharves. The facts bearing on this question are as follows: “‘Eureka is located mainly on a narrow and rather shallow channel between In- dian Island and the mainland. Com- merce sceking the upper end of the bay | need not go through this channel. The | wharves are built pract cally in econtact along the water front, there being no slips to speak of. This water front appears to have been originally owned by the Siare, ceded by the Siate to the city and by tae city sold at auciion for small amounts, | and the entire water front now in use is owned or claimed as private property. Tne improvement proposed is, therefore, directly beneficial to a number ot private individuals, *'On the other hand this improvement will undoubtedly be of great benefit to the general commerce of the country. Then, 100, the harbor lines are located along the edge of the wharves, and the Government | has, therefore, spent about $80,000 in dredging along this water tront and up to the towns of Arcata and Hookton. latter facts, together with the established | custom of the Government to dredge in front of the whaives in such cases, leav- ing private owners to dredge the slip:, make 1t appear that the locality under cousideration is ‘worthy of improvement and it 1s so recom- by the United States, R. Suter concurs in mended.”” Colonel this recommendation. Congressman Barbam said to THE CaLL correspondent to-night that he was much gratifiea over this fivorable report, and that at the next session of Congress he would endeavor 1o provide for the im- provements that are recommended. He thinks there is still alarge balance left from the $1,750,000 appropriated for jetties at Humboldt, and believes this can ve di- verted and expended in dredging along the city iront of Eurexa. e i g OF INIEREST 10 1IRE COAST.

WHEAT WANTED BY THE WORLD And the United States Will Be the Chief Seller. France Becomes a Buyer Here and Other Countries Will Follow Suit. Fallure of Crops Ab-oad Causes a Big Jump in the Prices In This Country. NEW YORK, N. Y., July 16.—Stimu- lated by further unfavorable reports about the Russian crop and by additional buy- ings for foreign accouut, the price of wheat took another jump to-day. The result was more excitement on the Produce Exchange than has been seen in months. Prices shifted rapidly and traders had all the business they could attend to. Shortly after the market opened the purchase of ten boatloads of wheat for future delivery for Continenta! sccount was recorded. A careful investigation brought out that the wheat, when shipped, will be delivered in France. There have been rumors for some time that France would be a buver of American wheat this year. The pur- chase to-day, however, was ihe first one that has thus far been traced to French account. 2 Right on top of this came a cable from Paris to one of the largest grain commis- sion-houses saying that owing to the shortness of her own crop France would soou abolish the import duty on wheat. This news is taken as a somewhat start- ling indication of what this year's wheat crop in France will really be. The mar- ket took another jump when these re- ports got into circulation, and advanced still further when it was learned that in- qniries from Brazil for twenty boatloads of wheat had been made. For Continental and English accounts alone the day’s pur- chases amounted in all to 160,000 bushels. All these reports only tended to con- vince traders tbat the United States will be the world’s chief seller of wheat this year simply because other countries will be able to supply their deficiencies ne- where else. The market opened to-day with July wheat at 81 cents. The highest point reached was 813{ cents, and the closing price was 814 cents. September closed on Thursday nizht at 74cents. The high- est and the closing price to-day was 753 cents. After the exchange closed trading continued on ihe curb, and 763{ cents was offered for September wheal with no sales. December wheat closed on Thursday at 75 cents, and the closing price to-night was 77 cents bid. MSELF TU DEATH, Atlanta Mevchant Determined to Dir, ond Comptetely Succe-ded.
