conclu lon of the long controversy over the price of armor plate for naval vessels and an agreement with the Carnegie and Bethlehem companies for Krupp armor at 420 a ton with the possible adidtion of royalty fees making the maximum price 45552 a ton The amount of armor Involved is the larg est ever placed at one time by the gov ernment and Is said to equal all the armor purchased by this government up to 1896 It covers the armor for seven teen ships now In various stages of con struction including eight battleships six armored cruisers and three protect ed cruisers The following official statement was given out concerning the agreement The navy department has come to an agreement with the Carnegie and Bethlehem companies for Krupp armor of the first class amounting to 24930 tons for 420 a ton The Krupp process involves the Harvey patent the valid ity of which Is now under consideration by the courts and it is further agreed that the government will assume In addition any liability for the Krupp process not exceeding 2432 a ton for Krupp royalty and not exceeding the United States license fee of 1120 for Harvey royalty The maximum price to the government is therefore 45552 per ton subject to diminution in case of any reduction in the foregoing roy alties The bid of these companies for this class of armor was 490 and the price originally asked was 545 TheMIdvale company some time ago withdrew Its bid but it would have been unable in any event to furnish armor in due season for the Maine class of battleships Had they not withdrawn their bid it is probable that some ar rangement might have been made for the distribution among the three com panies of the manufacture of the ar mor other than that of the Maine class Their bid however was of value in en abling the department to secure the above large reduction Admiral ONeill chief of the bureau of ordinance said of the result The agreement is most satisfactory The terms are reduced not only to a reasonable point but more than reason able We get armor cheaper than any i country in the world It Is due not only to Secretary Longs management but also to the fact that the companies met him in a very reasonable spirit It is only just that this should be under stood The armor contract covers not only the 24950 tons specified in the official statement but also some 10000 tons of armor of the second and third class which has been in controversy but has Btant death He will however be on ifeeen dependent on the disposal of the the sick list for some time As a result of an election bet Joseph Stern

A move ment is on foot to consolidate in one big concern all the creameries in the Northwest for which Chicago is ihe market The Idea originated in Wis consin where the creamery men have been working on it for some time A M Reed vice president of the Champeny Creamery company herev said yesterday It is a fact that the initial steps are being taken for the organization of a creamery trust The conditions are such that it is an absolute necessity There is not a creamery in Wisconsin that has made money during the last year The competition has been such - that farmers have ben practically dic tating th price at which milk should sell while this same competition has kept the price of the manufactured duct down The trust will probably In clude all the largest creamery interests in this state

Washington D C Special Sena tor Scott of West Virginia has beer talking again His ante election declaration that trusts are a good thing is now supple mented with a post election statement regarding the need of a large standing army which indicates his belief that riots are probably to go hand in hand with a republican policy In an interview today the senator was asked Do you favor a permanent army of 100000 I will not undertake to specify the numbers he said I would have enough for our needs We have no use for more cavalry That branch of the service was most useful in the days of Indian fighting but the Indians have been largely pacified arid there is less condition for cavalry forces to keep them from harming the settlers The artillery regiments can serve a double purpose They can care for the coast defense equipment and for the purpose of quelling riots in the cities they will be every bit as effective as infantryl n A4r - fiZZrj S r y3f5f CHINESE PRINCES SEEK ANWTESYIEW
