Wastiinotov, Aril 2!. The senate
eoimiiittfo cut liuval affairs has made
luil'lic the testimony taken in the armor
ph. to investigation. Tliis investigation
was tlirtcteil largely at Ctunmuml'T
Folirer. who had sweejiteil a ixsitiou
witli tJie Harvey company sifter his re
tirement trom theoflieeof e-liir-f of the
hureau of ivrilnanee of the navy depart
ment. In his testimony Mr. Folder
8aidthat he had felt a deep interest . in
Mr. Harvey's diseovery from the lie-triii-limj'.
lmt that he tlid not ayiee villi
the Harvey eomjKiiiy to enter its em

foreign f-ovt riiments. as statcil in tlie
senate rt solution. lut to settle a. eon
tmveisy with the fort ij-'ii ajidit of tlie
company.
.Mr. l'"oler admitted asking that Har
vey's application for patent tie txTo
dited. lnt saiil this was done because of
the novelty and importance to the de
tainment of ins invention. He said that
while with the department lie was not
intlnciiced in his dealings with the Har
vey eompaiiy hy tin- j.ei-iliility that he
iniht enter the employment of the
company.
in reply to a fjnestion as to the cost

priee paid hy the yov riinu nt. he sai
In l.elieveil the ,-ost to Ix- from $!."iO to
J.'.eu a I on. while the price paid is C.V

sliotild It taken alone as a measure of
the price that we should pay. There i
: certain risk that manufacturers may
have armor plate thrown hack tipon
tli.-ir ham!-:, through lailnre- to jia-w
com raet t-sts. and that enhances the
pi lee somewhat."
Secretary Herbert explained in his
testimony many j i i t s nmler investiga
tion, aiimiii others the roar-on why Nec
ret.iry Trace- provided a fund of i cents
1 r . end (in armor made hy the Car
negie company in addition to the price
paid, saying it was to imdeinnify the
company against a claim of the
Schneider company of Creusat. France,
for intrin-jement of patent. He said
the money thus provided had never
been paid ami that the payment had
Ix-en rcMstcd. He said it had licen de
sirable, at the time the contract wo?
made, to have competition in t ho con
struction of armor plate, the liethlehem
company was the only institution capa
ble of manufacturing it at that time,
and he thought this consideration would
have been sufficient to justify the ofter
of the i cents additional if rompetitiou
could not otherwise lc secured.
Mr. Hi rlx rt said that up to date .-5'2'V..',-I
had Im ch paid to the Bethlehem
company am: I. r.7.:S:JI to Oariieri for
armor plat,. ENistinp contrac ts call for
sho,hhi more. . He said the manufact
xirers had agreed to reduce the price on
future contracts to $-i."iO per ton. but the
plate at that price was not to be harvty
ized. The secretary pave the opinion. a
Senator ('handler ))as civen. that the
Harvey iteiir was invalid, and would
so be decided. He had therefore de
cided not to pay on that account.
Kx-Secntary Tracey, in testifying,
said that the Harvey process had been
called to liis attention by Commander
Folger in 1S!H. and he (Tracey) bad con
cluded that if this process could be ap
plied to nickel steel we should have an
ideal armor, and after it had been
demonstrated that this could be done
the system was adopted. Itefeninp to
the contracts with the Bethlehem and
Carnegie works he said it was not true,
as senators seemed to suppose, that he
had taken any of t ho contracts awarded
to Bethlehem and given them to Car
negie. He had taken one contract for
deck armor from the Bethlehem com
pany and pi veil it to the Linden com
pany, savin- the government almut
41hi.(Hhi. In ins efforts to induce Car
negie to found an armor plant he had
tried to induce him to make a lower
price than that charged at Bethlehem,
but had failed. Foi the same reason he
allowed the cents a pound additional
to indemnify the firm in the contest
over the patent.
Mr. .Andiew Carnegie, in pi vine his
statement , said that ex-Sccn tary Tracey
ami President Harrison had lecii re-pjKuisibh-
for forcing- him into the mak
ing of armor. -If it had not been for
a telegram received when 1 was abroad,
stating-that Secretary Tracey had re
quested us to do so, as our duty, to help
the Cnited States government out of it?
ditliculty when its ships were standing
in the slocks and if could not pet armor,
you would never have found the Cur
iiepie company engaged in the manu
faetore or aimor. The Bethlehem com
pany was too sanguine. They did not
know .-o much about amior-iiiakinp a 1
think 1 did. 1 had often visited the
European works, and nothing- would
have induced me to go into the manu
facture of armor plate as a money-making
business. If we had put the money
we have in the armor plant today and
time and skill into our lcpular business
w e could have made much more money
than we have made, and we would have
had no iiouble."
Mr. Blaine had also urged him, say
ing it was feared that not a ship would
! tii i is) ied in President Harrison's ad
ministration. He said he had entered
ujxiii the work as a matter of patri
otism. "Had w e." he said, "done what
we did for any Euro an government,
a iH-crapc, or the legion of honor would
have Won offered us."
Mr. Cariie.He said there was -13.000.-ono
invested in his armor plant, and the
reason the business did ncit pay was be
cause there were contracts of only about
:.0oo tons a year. The plant often stops
for six mon hs, but interest anil ex
penses go on. He said the price re
oivedwas exactly the English price,
and he had Ikh-ii amazed that the Beth
lehem company had agreed to accept
such a price liecause of the difference in
the cost of lalor.
Chief Constructor Hichliorn of the
navy pave the opinion in his statement
that an armor plant could lie estab
lished for .'.tMiO,HH and that it would
be advisable to build one.

quest on OHie. Reiehart, the Sharpsville
(Pa ) pirl who died lure in February
under suspicious circumstances, has

jury returning a verdict of death from
unknown causes. There was nothing
in the testimony to eoniiK.t Druppist J.

death, except that il showed that the
two had lived together as man and
Xlle.
Piof. Ellis' analysis of the contents
of the pirl's stomach and liver, and of
the embalming fluid that hail been used,
showed that there was sufficient poison
in the embalming fluid to account for
all that was found if it had lwen in
jected info the stomach, and Under
taker Green swore that it was inje. ted
in that way. Undertaker (Jreen also
swore that when he took the girl's l-ody
to Sharpsville he saw In-r mother, and
she told him that Ollichad two fits simi
lar to the one in which she died.
The last was three years apo. and the
doctor then told her that if the fits oc
curred again they would likely prove
fatal The physicians could not dis
cover any sufficient cause for death.
Evidence was put in to show that the
girl herself had not tried to follow the
doctor's direc tions while sick, anil that
lifferty had not olieyed orders. The
pirl told the woman with whom she
l-oard'-d that she had noliody to live for

W asiiinoton. April 20. Th" esse of
John Hays Hammond, tin American
mining engineer, one of the men sen
tenced by the Transvaal government to
die for high treason, in connection with
Dr. Jame son's raid, has l't-n referred to
in a cabini t meeting, and, although the
slate departme-nt authorized no state-me-nl
concerning his case further than
making public the cablegram. from Vice
Consul Knight at Cape-town predicting
a commutation of sentence, it cannot be
denied that the government will elo all
wit bin its power to se cure an ameliora
tion of Hammond's sentence, inasmuch
as he is regarded as rather the victim of
circumstance than as a deliberate con
spirator against the Boer goviriiment..
It is lH'lieved. however, that even be foro
the machinery of thedepaitnii iit can Im
set in motion Hammond's sc-iiteuct; will
have lie-en commuted.
It is fc It at the state department that
it has lieen criticized rather unjustly in
congress and elsewhere upon its ron-due-t
of Hammond's case-. The com
plaint that it has worked through
British ottie-ials to secure fair trcatme-nt
fortheAnieric-anpiisoner.it is said, is
made in ignorance; of the requirements
of international law. The United States
has no diplomatic representative what
ever in the Transvaal, nor can it have
so long as the foreign relations of that
country are confide d by treaty to Great
Britain, anel it would le a manifest vio
lation of propriety and international
law for the United States to ignore
Sre at Britain in this matter, anel par
ticularly so in view of the alacrity with
which the British government has re
sponded to our reinst for the protection
of Americans in the Transvaal.
When Senator Stewart, who is a per
sonal friend of Mr. Hammond, hcanl of
his conviction, he immediately se-t to
work to prepare a pe tition in Mr. Ham
mond's behalf whic h lie had circulated
among senators and meiiilers of the
house;. The )H-tirioii is addressed to
I're-sideiit Kruger and is a plea for par
don. It se ts forth the character of the
accused and states that his family and
associations here were of the lu st, and
while it is ccd-d by the petitioners tha'
the crime to which he has plead guilty
is a most serious one and eliiectoel
against a government for which th
signers have a high regard. they still
ask as an act of clemency that tie
offense lie condoned and the- prisoiiei
libe rated. The petition was signed by
all to whom it was prese nted.

cussed in the lobbie-s.where it is thought
to have increased the gravity of the sit

of a ileal between tin- prisoners ami

they pleaded guilty to the charge of
high treason.

telegraphed President Kruger that he
would rely en his generosity and icee nt
intimation to that effect to commute the
sentences of the condemned men.
