WASHINGTON , July 29 , Secretary Long baa rejected the offer of the armor com- panlta to * upply tb * dligoiuU armor for the three battleships Alabama , Wltconsln and Illinois , now building , at a price to be fixed hereafter by the Navy department Itself , The companies made this offer under the Impression that is the armor ot this kind Is entirely within the hull and superstruc ture of the fhlns , the failure of the govern ment to procure It would stop the work of thn shipbuilders entirely. Therefore , while they refused to furnish all of the armor needed nl the price fixed by congress , they undertook to supply the diagonal armor , leaving the price ftowards to be adjusted. Secretary Long , however , has found that It will be possible to go on with the work ot building the ships and allow the armor to be placed later on. The construction bureau has profrsoed Its ability to do this with as little disturbance of the ships' structure as would result from placing a boiler in the hull. : TIII : PI : > HON IMIACTICC.

Butler be came uncontrollable and had a fierce struggle with his guards. He was finally dragged Into 'ho court room and handcuffed and forced to keep still. When the prosecution finished Its cajo Butler was asked if he had anything to saj The murderer was in a state of collapse , apparently , and the court adjourned until the afternoon to give him time to recover Ho then , In a low tone , made a rambling statement that he started for the mines with Weller at Welter's solicitation On the waj Weller acted queerly and when he displayed a pistol Butler thought Weller wag goinp to shoot him Instead , however , Weller placed the pistol to his own head , and when Butler grabbed it in an endeavor to take It away the weapon was discharged and Weller was shot through the head. Butler said ho had used Weller's papers to enable him to ship as a sailor , as be had no papem of his own. The case was then given to the Jury , which deliberated for an hour and twenty min utes , before bringing In a verdict of guilty The Judge then pronounced sentence and when he concluded with the worde , "and may God have mercy on your soul , " Butler quickly retorted "And may He have mercy on jours , roo.

( Special Telegram. ) The Nebraska delegation to the UnttcJ States League of Building and Loan Associations achieved a notable vlctorj thia morning over Cincinnati and Niagara rH In tbc contest for the IS9S convention.

A. , which , with nattering refer ences to Omaha by delegates from the east , swept awa > opposition and Omaha was chosen er.thuplastleally and unanimously. Business was resumed promptly at 10 o'clock this morning by the United Slates League of Building anil Loin Associations , with the Intention of making the day's session continuous. The object wao to complete all business by 3 p in. , so that the delegates could Jake a teamcr at * that hour for the St. Glair flats where a flsh supper wa * to bo served. There was a full attendance at the session and the read ing of addresses proceeded rapidly and with very little discussion D KldriJgo of Boston gave a 'Tew Notts on the Management of a Co-operative Dink. " The authority to make loans on the part of the secretary of n co-operative whould be e\erol ed with extraordinary cure and great wisdom Affairs In tills line ought to lie lomlucted so that If u que < ilon of n proposed loun rc-.ich the directors , that would be presumptive evidence Unit It has | iasi.ed the ordeal of the scLretnrj's ? cmtlnj ; ind the committee's examination. A secretary , If he Is a good mnnaper , will onlv bring before the directors for their action matters of suporlm Importance , settling all others himself , but he should In no case go be > end the limits permitted bj his directors. "The Rights and Duties of Building and Loan Associations to Stockholders and Their Relation to Creditors" was discussed In a paper by A. J. Duncan of Columbus , dcputj Inspector of Ohio building associations and a brothtr-ln-law of President McKlnley. He said the purpose of his address waste to stimulate among those Interested In the maintenance of the original principles upon which building and loan associations arc based Inquiries as to present rights and duties of members and their relation to creditors Such Increased Interest , ho as serted , with Its accompanying broader under standing of rights privileges and duties , would be the Inspiration of more favorable legislation and the best legislation and the best defense against Inimical laws "At m time" tald the speaker , "has the public demanded more stringent legislation -and protection against visionary and dishonest schemes under the guise of building and loan associations than at present " Sir. Duncan commended the simple con tract provisions of the- original Greenwich Building mid Loan society , organized in 1SOU , as a true test and reasonable guide for building aobociatlons , and one the best courts of England and America ere disposed to recognize in Interpreting subsequent legis lation and decisions on , these subjects. The right of a member to borrow upon his stocker or receive an advanced loan'upon his shares might bo called theJ cornerstone of the Extern , and any departure from this funda mental principle was dwtructlxe " of the whole scheme. CHANGE IN ONE METHOD. The general rule of allowing directors to determine the amount to , be paid to a with drawing member has , been , a stumbling block to thp associatlpns The Ohio law , said 'he speaker makej anannual distribu tion , to = be placed to fh"jj credit of mem bers' accounts thus placing the associations upon the game basis In this respect as other financial Institutions. Owing to the peculiar nature of the building association , receivers had to be al lowed great discretion In settling claims In cases of liquidation or insolvency , and the line of action in such cases should bo modi- fled according to circumstances and the statutes of the various states In conclu sion Mr. Duncan urged stricter compliance with the foundation principles of building associations and closer observance of state statutes relative thereto. "The Service and Influence of Our State Leagues" was discussed by Hon. James Clarency of Philadelphia. He bpoke par ticularly of the etate league's influence upon legislation affecting building associations and gave It as his opinion that every state should have a specific building and loan law and all societies be incorporated under It. "Our aim In Philadelphia , " he said , "has been to keep the associations purely and severely local that we might build up a s > stem in which the local committee would beeomo Interested and thereby leseen the pcfo ibillty of failure , either through de falcations or unwlso Investments" He ad vocated th" election of at least one first- class building and loan man to every ses sion of the different legislatures. Organiza tion by building associations for legislative put prices vas also suggested Albert Humes of Decatur. Ill , treasurer of the Illinois league , read a paper on "Ap portionment of Profits " He condemned the practice of apportioning at any time more profits than had been actually earned , and showed that unless an association bad an ample restive fund the shares In force when a loss Is met must inevitably bear the burden , not only of their own proportion of the Iocs , but also the additional burden of that part of the loss which should be charged to maturing hhares. Mr Barnes cautioned the secretaries not to hasten the time for maturing of a series on account of Importunities of members , or for any reason , no matter what the temptation to be able to announce quick maturity of nharen" DECIDE TO COME TO OMUIA. Charles L Kolb of Philadelphia , who was down for a paper on "The Interest Reduction Plan , ' had prepared no paper , but made a few remarks upon the subject. "A Good Title" was discussed by Samuel S Gleason of Watertown , Mass The committee on resolutions reported adversely on a proposition to leave the fixing of the date of the annual meeting with the executive committee The propo sition orlglnaated In the Louisiana associa tion which det > lres to get the annual meeting for New Orleans. The present date for holding the convention U not suitable for that city for climatic reasons The adverse - verso report of the committee was MIS- talned by the convention.
