WASHINGTON , Mny 28. Captain Sam-
lion , chief of the ordnance bureau of the
Navy department , today resumed his state
ment before tlio house committee Investi
gating armor plate frauds. Ho took up
the second charges mnilo against the Car
negie company , which have lieen In part In
vestigated by tlio Nnvy department. Cap
tain Hnmson detailed the charges inado by
Mr. Walldce , a I'lttsburg lawyer , repre
sent ng n half dozen emp'oyes of Die Carnogla
works. Secretary Herbert , Captain Hamsun
said , had been aboard with witness at tlio
head. They had gene to Homestead and
had found the charges and the evidence
substantially similar to that at the first
Investigation ,
The nnal report of the board was not yet
completed , but In substance It would dis
close little that was new. Mr. Silt , one ot
the Informers , had the most comprehensive
knowledge of the defects. None of the
witnesses at the second hearing had ma
terial Information to add to that already
given by Silt. The only thing In the bill
of additional Information was given by Mr.
Koutz and Mr. Huck. The latter testified
to a practice In the works of so fixing
specimens as to give the government a false
record of the tcits. Ho testified that the
falsifications continued until January 1 last.
Another employe testified that tlio practice
had always existed. Other workmen swore
that the practice had continued until orders
wore given to discontinue It. In response
to a question by Representative Money ,
Captain Samson said Mr. Frlck had given
the order. Mr. Fryo had heard that In
formers wore taking notes , and while It
was not known that Mr. Frlck knew of the
irregularities , he had written a letter In
September directing that such practices , If
they existed , should cease. The orde"r was
In turn executed by Superintendent Schwab ,
who knew of the practices.
In the armor plate Investigation today
Captain Sampson , In explaining the manner
of taking samples , said an employe of the
Corneglo works took the samples and
subjected them to machine tests. The
Carncglo employes called off the resulfs and
the government inspector took the figures
as called off ,
"In other words , " said Chairman Cum-
nilngs , "tho government tests were made
by Carncglo employes , with n Carneglo-ma
chine , and were accepted as conclusive by
the government. "
Captain Sampson said this was customary
the world over. In the Intricate processes
( some reliance had to be placed on the com
pany employes. The testing machine hod
a dial , on which the government Inspector
might see that the checking off was correct.
The thlrteen-lnch armor of the Monterey
had numerous blowholes with the knowl
edge of the department. The plates were
hurriedly made In 1892 and would not be ac
cepted now. The Monterey plates were the
first made. TUe Chlllin trouble wns pending
and the department was desirous of hurry
ing forward the work.
Chairman Cummlngs asked for specific
details as to why steel armor should cost
moro than steel rails. Captain Sampson
said the Bethlehem had spent $4,000,000 on
their first plant. It was largely an Invest
ment on an oxporlment. The making of
steel rails was a simple process ; the mak
ing of an armor plato was an intricate pro-
.cess covering six months.
Chairman Cummlngs asked as to the state
ment of Representative C6'ombs of Now
York that the first govorrimont contract had
paid the Carnegie company for the cost of
tholr plant , and yet now contracts were be
ing made at the old rate , thus paying the
Oarnegles several times for their plant.
Captain Sampson said ho thought it was
to some extent true that the moro rectnt
contracts wore based on the earlier con
tracts , when the cost of the plant was con
sidered In making the price for armor.
Chairman Cummlngs Did you unearth
any testimony tending to locate any of these
Irregularities on Superintendent Schwab ?
"Not directly , " said the captain , "but
from the facts of the , case It was Impossible
that he should not have known of the ir
regularities. "
"Has ho been removed ? " asked Mr. Cum-
mings.
"His position has been changed , " replied
the witness.
"Dut he keeps a position with the com
pany ? " asked Representative Money.
"I understand that ho will bo removed , "
said the witness.
IV
Captain Sampson negatived the charges
that bolts and screws of defective sizes and
shapes had boon used In securing the armor
plato , The department had the affidavits of
Mr. Brown as to serious defects In bolts and
screws. Tlio charges had been Investigated
and Mr. Brown's evidence taken. It was
found that there was nothing in the charges.
This closed Captain Sampson's testimony.
TALKING Ol'ANimiKU 1IU.ND 1SSUU.
ItcprosiMitutUo Ilallcy ( lotting- Ills Hcaolu-
tlou of Inquiry In Shapu for Action.
WASHINGTON , May 23. Representative
Dolloy of Texas 'will again bring forward his
resolution questioning Secretary Carlisle's
authority to Issue bonds to meet "Current "
expanses In case another bond Issue is deter
mined upon. The Bailey resolution excited
much comment when the recent Issue of
$50,000,000 bonds was made , but failed to
liavo any effect In checking the Issue , for
the bonds were on the market before Mr.
Bailey wiis able to pilot his Resolution
through the committee and before- the house.
Now , however , Mr. Balloy Is preparing to
move before another bond Issue is under
taken. His resolution is on the calendar ,
and ho saya he will endeavor to call It up
on the first Intimation that official action
Is being taken on another sale of bonds.
Thcro have been reports ( hat the rapid dis
appearance of gold would necessitate another
bond Issue at an early date , but Mr. Bailey
will uot move on these unofficial reports.
Ho says the resolution may bo changed and
strengthened by being in ail o a Joint resolu
tion , and ho expresses confidence that both
the sonata and house will pass it if It can
bo brought to a vote.
The majority report of the Judiciary com
mittee on the resolution states that It ap
pears too clear for argument that the secre
tary ot the treasury was authorized to Issue
bonds only to enable him to provldo for the
redemption authorizes or required in that
act. Indeed , this Is the very Inngungv of the
law , mid'specific as It Is It does not stop
there , but In the concluding part ot the en
abling section there is a plain limitation on
the right toSKub \ bonds.
A minority report was made by Itcpro-
Bontattvos Watson , Ray and Chtldti. It says
of the Ualloy resolution : "Whether this
action Is in good taste or not , wa Icavo It
for the members ot the majority to decide.
* The bonds proposed to be sold are to bo
Issued , and the proceeds ot a bond sale uro
not yet In the treasury. The secretary has
not yet violated any law or misapplied any
funds. Ho has very frankly declared that
the present condition of the treasury la
alarming ; that unless measures are adopted
by congress to replenish the treasury , now
well nlgU exhausted , the day la not far dis
tant when he must do one of two things-
cease to pay the obligations ot the govern
ment , announce that the democratic govern
ment of the United States Is bankrupt , or use
any money In the treasury to maintain the
credit ot the nation , "
The minority agrees with the proposition
that the vrocoeJs ot bonds should not be
used for current expenses.
Troop * Cuniiot Act Uiulor Civilian Order * ,
WASHINGTON. May 18. The many occa
sions of late for the employment of federal
troops to aislst Judicial officers In protecting
railway and other properties from organized
bodies of lawless men and the misconception
at the real function * of the troops has
caused the Issue by General BchotlelJ ot In
atructlonn to army department commanders
to the effect that when troops are so em
ployed they cannot be directed to act under
the orderj of any civil officer. The com
manding officers ot the troop ? so employed
are directly responsible to their military
superiors. Any unlawful or unauthorized
net on their part would not be excusable
on the ground ot any order or request re
ceived by them from a marshal or uny other
civil officer.

Denloft thnt the Smith U tloitllo to tlio
Iiitrrontn ot Notr England.
WASHINGTON , May 28. The senate spent
eight hours today In discussing the question
of frco lumber. 'Not a vote wan taken. The
tariff bill places lumber In the rough on
the free list. The debate today was upon
Mr. Halo's proposition to transfer lumber to
the dutiable list at the rates fixed In the
McKlnley law. Senators Fryo and Hale of
Malno and Perkins ot California , Mitchell
and Dolph of Oregon , whose * states are most
particularly affected in the lumbar Industry ,
occupied Iho major portion of the time In
the support of Mr. Halo's amendment. It
Is probable the lumber paragraph will bo
disposed ot tomorrow.
Sugar , upon which the hardest fighting In
the bill will occur , follows.
Mr. Walsh , the new senator from Georgia ,
delivered a fully prepared speech on the
general subject of the tariff. Hcfcrrlng to
an assertion by Mr. Hoar In a reccilt speech
that the south was endeavoring to ruin the
Industries ot Now England to get even , Mr.
Walsh declared the people had no hostility
for the people or the industries of New Eng
land. Ho dwelt upon Georgia's extraordinary
Interest In raw products and manufacturing
facilities and submitted tabulated statements
from the comptroller general showing the
increase In taxable values for the last ten
years , showing a net Increase ot $130,949,491.
"Tho senators from the south , " he said ,
"are In this body to simply carry out the
pledges made to the people by the democratic
party to reform the tariff , and , in connection
with the tariff reform bill , they champion an
amendment to It , which provides for a tax
upon-Incomes. The south favors the Income
tax , not from sectional or partisan reasons ,
but because It Is equitable and right. It Is
believed to be right , not only In the south ,
but by tHe people of every section.
"Tho Wilson bill , as amended In the sen
ate , Is a compromise. It will be so con
strued and accepted by the great majority
of the American people , who elected Presi
dent Cleveland and placed the democratic
party in power. "
In reference to the silver question he
sold : "While It Is desirable to secure the
rcmonotlzatlon of silver by international
agreement , still , If the opportunity offered ,
I would not hesitate to vote for free coin
age , with or without an International agree
ment , believing the Immense resources and
productive energies of this country would
enable our government to sustain It on a
parity with gold and compel recognition for
it from the enlightened governments of Eu
rope. "
Mr. Walsh also favored the repeal ot the
tax on state bank circulation.
At G:4G : the senate went Into executive ses
sion , and shortly afterwards adjourned.
GHOST OF STATE SOVKKKIGNTY.
liaised In a Hill to Curtail the Power of
Federal Courts.
WASHINGTON , May 28. Something of a
controversy over the state sovereignty ques
tion has been stirred up In the house Judiciary
committee over a bill Introduced by Rep
resentative De Armond of Missouri to define
the duties of federal courts regarding con
tempts , which provides that state , county
or city officers shall not bo punished for
refusal to collect taxes or assessments under
the Judgments rendered by federal courts
against states , counties or cities where the
levying of such taxes or assessments shall be
contrary to the laws of the state , as con
strued by Its highest courts. The bill has
been favorably reported from the committee
by the democrats , and Representative Wol-
verton of Pennsylvania , in the report giving
the views of the majority , explains that it
Is Intended to prevent a federal court from
overriding the laws ot a state by compell
ing a state officer to violate them. In many
of the states It Is expected there Is a limit
to the Indebtedness which may bo con
tracted or collected without the consent of
the people , therefore Judgments beyond a
certain amount could not be secured through
state courts and the federal courts are
sometimes resorted to. The minority report
is drawn by Representative Ray of New York
and signed by Messrs. Ray , Powers , Stone ,
Updegraf and Chllds. The report character
izes the measure as objectionable , vicious
and unpatriotic , ono that strikes a blow at
good government and would deprive the
Judicial department of the power to enforce
Its decrees and nullify the purpose for which
It was established. It Is characterized as an
effort to revive the exploded doctrine of
state sovereignty.

Therefore the Nlcarugunn Authorities let
the ainrdoror of an American Kscapo.
WASHINGTON , May 28. The Navy de
partment today received- report by mall
from Captain Watson of the San Francisco
on the course of events at Blueflelds up to
May 19. In this report he describes the es
cape ot Aguello , the murderer of the Ameri
can , William Wilson , and makes It very clear
that the Nlcaraguan commissioner at Lacayo ,
who was responsible for his safe keeping ,
permitted the murderer to do as ho pleased
and made not the faintest pretense of keep
ing him safely Imprisoned.
Captain Watson does not refer to the res
toration to power 'of Clarence , the Mosquito
chief and former governor of Blueflelds , and
therefore It Is assumed at the department
that the report that such a coup was In con
templation among the British officers Is based
solely on the excited imagination ot the Blue
flelds people.

WASHINGTON , May 28. The house com-
mltteo on public lands has ordered a favor
able report on the bill Introduced by Repre
sentative Lynch ot Wisconsin affecting set
tlements on public lands under what Is
known as the stone and timber act. The
act provides that lands should bo offered at
public sale , but many entries were made In
good faith upon sections which were not so
offered. The bill Is designed to give those
settlers clear title to their lands where the
Interior 'department has not already taken
action to enforce the law. Most of the land
affected by the bill Is In Wisconsin.

by counsel for Colonel W. CP. . Drcckln-
rldge to fllo a bill of exceptions by virtue
ot which the suit ot Miss Madeline Pollard
against him might be carried to a higher
court on n appeal. This action was taken
because of the objection made 'by counsel
for Mlis Pollard that Mr. Drccklnrldge had
not compiled with the law requiring that
the bill of exceptions bo furnished to them
within three days before the expiration ot
the time within which the motion to file

WASHINGTON , May 28. Resolutions to
bo submitted by Representative Rayner of
Maryland to the house tomorrow will recite
that the Russian government has denied ad
mission to that country of Rabbi Kraus-
kopf , an eminent Hebrew ecclesiastic of
Philadelphia , and that this action by Russia
Is a breach of the treaty , wntch gives Ameri
can citizens the right to enter , sojourn and
travel In Russia the same ns Russian citi
zens are admitted to this country. The reso
lution will direct the State department to
make a demand on Russia for the full ob
servance of the treaty , and In case of a
refusal will direct the severance of all
treaty relations with Russia. Ir. ) Kraus-
kopf came here recently and was accompa
nied by Representative Traccy and Repre
sentative Strauss In calls on President Cleveland -
land , Secretary Qre linni nnd other officials.
It was then arranged that Secretary Gresham
should notify the Russian government of
Dr. Krauskopf's proposed visit and ascer
tain If there was any objection. The re
sponse came In quickly that the czar's offi
cials could not permit the Visit. Mr. Rayner
nt once drew up his resolution , but It has
been held back pending certain negotiations
with Russia concerning the Bering sea. Mr.
Rayner says the case of Dr. Krauskopf pre
sents the first Issue on the treaty rights of
Americans to enter Russia , but there have
been other congressional resolutions concern
ing Jews , but they have related to Russian
Jews coming to this country. Mr. Rayner
now presents the question of the treaty"
rights of on American to go to Russia with
out reference to his religion or former na
tionality. The proposed visit of Dr. Kraus-
kopf was for the purpose of visiting the
nine provinces within which Russia restricts
the Jews and to ameliorate their condition.

CHICAOO , Mny 2S. ThT Western Passen
ger association lines today rcachcil an agree
ment on the question ot oustbound emigrant
business , which has for so long a time been
troubling them. The Union 1'nclflc at the
opening of the meeting submitted a resolu
tion providing that neither It nor any other
line should pay any commissions to any emi
grant agent located In Now York. This
means that the Union Pacific Is willing to
glvo up the contracts which It has held with
Peter O'Uonncl on Its castbotlnd business
and puts'It on tlie same basis with reference
to emigrant business as the Western Passen
ger lines nnd the Atchlson road , The agree
ment made today exempts the business to
North Pacific points , which Is where the
Union Pacific Is likely to meet the competi
tion of the Canallan Pacific , but as this Is no
way effects any other line It was agreed to
without debate. Tlio agreement says nothing
about the paying of commissions through any
other agents than those located In the First
ward of New York City , and.thero Is a gen
eral feeling that this omission means the
early death of the agreement.
Traffic Manager White of the Atchlson In
formed the meeting that If anything was
done toward Interfering with the traffic of
his line by paying agents in San Francltco
or other places that the Atchlson would
lose no time In making the fight from the
Missouri river , nnd In this position It will
have the support of the nock Island.
After the settlement of the emigrant ques
tion the matter of excursion rates was < takcn
up , and as everybody declared that they had
not made any rates which will conflict with
those adopted by the meeting It Is likely
that these rates will hold. It was decided
that for the four large , meetings which are
to be held In Denver during the summer
the faro should be for the round trip
to Colorado common points ono faro plus
$15 , and for the meeting or the National Ed
ucational society at Asbury Park the rates
from all points In the territory of the West
ern Passenger asslclatlon should- one faro
plus $2 for the round trip. Similar action
was taken on other large meetings for the
year.
