WASHINGTON BUREAU OF TUB Finn ,
1107 F Street , N. W , .
WASHINGTON , Juno 22.
No agreement has as yet been reached
In the ways and means committee concernIng -
Ing the stand which the house Is to take on
the sugar schedule nf the tariff bill. U Is be.
Moved , howovcr , that the struggle between
the senate nnd house on this schedule wll\
be desperate , with a possibility of a loii\ ( \
deadlock between the houses. The Wllsou
lilll , as It left the house , contained no
ugar schedule , as the tax on raw and re
fined sugarx had been struck out and lht
bounty had teen abolished outright. The
senate schedule In , therefore , the ouly fiug.'U
proposition to go to conference , and the first
Issue wilt be on rejecting the senate schedule
entirely and thus returning to the house a
form of tlio bill which contained no sugar
ichodulo. If one or the other side wilt not
yield on this IESIIO the next step will be to
frame a compromise.
The attitude of the ways nnd means com.
rnittco on the senate sugar schedule has not
rot been made clear. Chairman Wilson haa
boon away for ten days and there have been
no meetings or conferences since the schedule
passed the senate. It Is believed , however ,
\hat the committee Is disposed to be con.
lorvatlvc nnd conciliatory , and to avoid b >
dny fair agreement another protracted dls.
dusslon or deadlock. But the committee U
ftbt sure of having the house behind It In
Ibis conciliatory policy. It was on sugar
that the committee sustained Its first de
feat when the Wilson bill was before the
feouso and this victory of the free sugar
radicals may be repeated.
LOUISIANA HAS NO PLANS.
Representative Prlco of Louisiana , who
represents the largest sugar district of the
I tats , says the Louisiana delegation has
inade no plans and Is simply waiting on
' ho action of the senate. He and others of
1 ho democratic delegation say the outcome
fltponds largely on the disposition of the
lanate to stand by Its amendments.
Representative Meyer of Louisiana says
tbo senate amendments make the sugar duty
ftia than the Louisiana delegation contended
tor In the house , and that the disposition
Would probably bo to accept the senate
chcdulo as the best obtainable.
The free sugar men are very determined ,
cad some of them say there can be no com
promise short of an absolute surrender of
UO senate to the house amendments.
j "Tho house Is overwhelmingly opposed to
Hher tax or bounty on sugar , " said Mr.
Dockery , "It was so when the bill passed
the house , and It Is so now. If anything , the
Doling Is stronger for free sugar now than
it was then. There Is the voting strength ,
therefore , to non-concur at the outset In the
penato sugar amendments and to keep non-
6oncurrlng as often as the conferences re
tort failure to reach an agreement.
"With" this overwhelming sentiment and
Toting strength for free nugar it would seem
o assure a very determined stand on the
( art of the house. Tcr be sure , however , the
Bollnj ; against another long contest and the
loslro of members to close up the work of
he session would operate.
"A canvass Is the only means of de-
trmlnlngi and none has been made. If the
JUBO votes as It thinks , and positively de-
Ines to yield to a sugar tax , then the
luevtlon may bo presented as to our taking
our coats and staying hero all summer
n Iher than yclld to the senate sugar
ncndments. But as to myself , I will not
frosa that bridge until I reach It. Sure It
u , however , that there Is to bo a most
iarnoflt effort to have the house stand by
Ita convictions against a duty or bounty en
iugar. "
"I bellovo In remaining right here at our
until the 4th of next March rather
on surrendering to the senate sugar
[ ohodule , " sdld Mr. Warner of New York.
' 1 think , moreover , that the house Is cer-
In to make a resistance which will compel
.e eenato to yield. It will bo hot weather
Washington , and this protracted struggle
11 bring many discomforts , but it will not
m M hot for congressmen hero as It will bo
r them Ih tlielr districts If there Is a tax
in augar. Our constituents and our editors
fro for free sugar , so that members can bo
arvliig their districts best by remaining
ere until the senate Is forced to yield. "
SUGAR SHOULD BE FREE.
Mr. Warner was asked If the senate surrender -
render would have to bo absolute and un
conditional , or whether the house would
Us jf ylold somewhat for the sakeof agrrc-
aiont.
"Tho normal , natural , Inherent position of
o house Is for no tax and no bounty on
gar , " he continued. "H will be this or
methlns substantially like this that the
ouie will Insist on. If a slight revenue
, uty was put on raw sugar It might bo the
aala of an agreement. But It would have
fo be limited to revenue , and not a particle
for protection , except that given by a rev
enue duty. The senate schedule gives pro
tection as well as a revenue duty to the
refiners. The house will never accept any
thing ot that eort. It will have cither free
ujar or else sugar that Is at least free of
protection to the refiners. "
Borao of the free sugar men In 'the former
contest In the house are now Inclined to
field their positions rather than see a long
debate. Representative. Hatch of Missouri
li ono of these. Ho says : "My judgment Is
that the house ought to emphasize Its posi
tion on sugar. And yet I bellovo any bill
which comes out of the conference commit
tee will bo so far ahead of the McKlnley
bill that I will bo ready to surrender my
views on ono or two articles In order to
ecure a. bill. It Is a bill wo want a bill. "
On the other hand Representative Hartcr
holds that the McKlnloy bill Is better than
the Wilson bill with the sonata amendments.
Ho says : "I do not know what the others
expect to do , but I shall not vote for
tbo tariff bill as It comes from the senate.
Unless materially altered In conference , I
greatly prefer the McKlnley bill as a re
publican measure than see the senate bill
CO on the books as a democratic law. "
IN A GENERAL WAY.
Representative Plckler filed with the post
master general today a largely signed peti
tion from citizens ot Copp , S. D. , asking that
the postolllco at Copp bo re-established.
this ofllco was discontinued because It waa
Impossible to find a democrat to hold the
position of postmaster.
Reprcsentatlvo Plckler today received a
telegram stating that the Black Hills Na
tional bank at Rapid City has failed. Inspector
specter Zimmerman has been sent out to
Investigate the matter. H Is expected that
there will be a long fight over the position
of receivership. Chauncey L. Wood and W.
N. Johnson , both ot Rapid City , are appli

WASHINGTON , Juno 22. A delegation of
the International Typographical union ap
peared before , the house committee today to
advocate the government telegraph. Wil
liam McCabe of Washington was spokesman ,
He urged government control ot the tele
graph lines on the ground that It would lead
to the establishment of more newspapers ,
Iheroby giving employment to man/ printers
out of work. When ackcd If any party se
cured an advantage through the existing as
sociations Mr. McCabe replied that their
reports were generally fair , although ho
thought from his recent experience In the
editorial chair of a dally paper that the
news of the Associated press was more rc-
Ilablo and unbiased than that furnished by
the United press.
ON UMKIIT\IN ; UHUUNU ,
District Ornnil Jury Struck n Himc In
Doallnc with Contuiimdotm WItnr * c .
WABilLN'GTON , Juno 22. The conclu-
Rlons reached by the grand jury In the cases
ot the recreant witnesses before the senate
Sugar trust Investigation committee wilt
not bo officially announced before next week ,
It then , the jury evidently having some
reluctance tq act. A short session was held
today , The only witness was Senator Gray ,
chairman ot the Investigating committee ,
who testified to the action of Broker Chap
man of New York when ho was called be
fore the committee. The senator dwelt
Upon the refusals to reply to the senatorial
queries , and submitted to an examina
tion on this point by the members ot thr
jury. Ho pointed out the Illegality ot the
action ot the witnesses and 'cited the law
bearing on the case. Ho also discussed the
alleged Injurious effect of sustaining the
contumacious conduct of Messrs. Edwards ,
Sohrlver and Chapman. Ills testimony was
very brief , aa the Jury continued In session
less than an hour. Then the jury adjourned
until Monday. Mr. Gray also had a consul
tation with the district attorney today with
reference to the Indictment of Broker Chap
man. The district attorney IB now pro
ceeding with much caution with the work ,
and ho has found that the resolution under
which the Investigating committee Is pro
ceeding Is very unsatisfactory for purposes
of prosecution of the witnesses , as It Is
neither very clear nor very specific. The
Chapman case Is considered the strongest
of tlmso personted to the grand Jury , nnd
the district attorney on this account has
decided to put It ahead and virtually make
It a test caiie.
The Edwards and Schrlver case , therefore ,
will bo allowed to remain unacted upon
until It can be shown what can bo done In
the Chapman case. This case will also take
precedence over the Havemeyer , Searles
and McCartney cases , which the vice pres
ident probably will certify to the district
attorney today or tomorrow.
INTKK-COI.OXIAL HAIL WAY.
Forthcoming Itcpnrt on the Project Looked
Forward to with Intcri-fit.
WASHINGTON , June 22. Richard C.
Kerens of St. Louis , a member of the Inter
colonial railway commission , who has been
In the city for the past few days , speaks
enthusiastically of the work which has been
done and says that when the report of the
commission Is published It will bo found to
bo more Interesting than a novel , because of
the Information of an unknown region that It
will contain.
"That country Is , " ho said , In a brief In
terview , "a sealed book now , but the report
which Is In preparation will throw a flood ot
light upon It , and will , I think , be the means
of attracting such attention to It as to Insure
the building of the road. Possibly It will
not como In our day , " ho added , "but there
Is no reason why the day should be long
delayed when a man can get Into a palace
car and ride to the heart of South America.
The proposed road will open up the territory
of fifteen republics south of Mexico , and the
Immigration of the United States and the
disposition of the people of those countries
has shown the favor with which the project
has been received. Wo have received as
surance that every country through which
the line has been surveyed will make land
grants and other concessions to Insure the
building of the road. The United States will
not find It necessary to grant any further aid
than that necessary to make the facts known ,
as will bo done in this case. The building of
this road will follow as surely as It followed
the publication of the reports on the Pacific
railroads. "
Mr. Kerens says the resources of the re
gion which will be developed by this great
line will bo found to bo jnarvclous , and that
a cpuntry sufficient to support a population
of 200,000.000 people will bo opened up. Mr.
Kerens thinks It the place of all others for
the United States to send its surplus immi
gration. _

Informer Craig Gives Some Additional In
formation Regarding Them.
WASHINGTON , June 22. Charles S. Craig
of Edgewood Park , Pa. , was today before
the congressional committee investigating
armor plato frauds. Ho waa associated with
Sill In giving the main Information of Irreg
ularities at the Carneglo works. Craig's evi
dence. was much like that recently given by
Sill nnd corroborative of It. Ho testified that
he made reports of the work on armor plates
from the workmen's slates , giving the actual
work done. The reports were submitted to
Superintendent Cllne , who changed them to
bring the work within the government con
tract. The altered reports were then fur- ,
nlshed to the government officers. Craig
gave from his note book a list of armor plates
which had been doctored after they
had been turned over to the government as
test plates. He gave details of life re-treat
ment of each plate. Many of them were re
treated after the government had rejected
them. Craig testified that he had been In
structed by Superintendent Cllne to burn the
original records showing the real work done.
Craig said that while assistant heater ho
observed much surreptitious work on plates.
Ho gave the technical details of these irreg
ularities. This was done without
the knowledge of the government
officers and was to deceive them.
The capacity of the Carneglo works
was not sufficient to do the work properly.
Ho had heard CHno complain to Assistant
Hunslkcr that more furnaces were necessary.
Mr. Craig Identified a number of alterations
In reports made by Superintendent Cllne.

WASHINGTON , June 22. Senators Harris

after separating , bt h expressed the opinion
that the senate would conclude the considera
tion of the tariff bill In committee of tlio
whole before the close of the day tomorrow
and that tlio bill would bo disposed of ana
ready for return to the IIOUEO for adjourn
ment on Tuesday ,
Senator Allison Is not so hopeful of a speedy
vote on the pasasKO of tha tariff bill as are
many other senators. Ho thinks the debate'
on the Income tax likely to continue until

pect good for n. final vote bcforo Saturday of

CHICAGO , June 22. Summer Haynes ,
chairman of the reorganization of the At
chison road , Is In Chicago today. In speaking
of the plan of reorganization , he said that
It was a mistake to suppose the stockholders
would be deprived of their right to vole on
any or all questions submitted. "The de
positing of their stock with a trust com-
pany"sald Sir. HayncB , " Is a mere matter
of convenience to provide a way by which
the Income bondholders may also have a
vote during the period they derive .no In-
coma from the securities. The laws df this
country provide that only stockholders shall
have the right to vote , but by agreement wo
have arranged to allow the In como bond
holders the some privilege. When any ques
tion Is to be voted on there will be a pre
liminary meeting of both stockholders and
bondholders , something like a primary meetIng -
Ing at elections. At this meeting the stock
holders will cast an Informal vote , the re
sult of which will bo placed In the hands of
the trustee of the stock , and he will cast
the formal vote In conformity therewith. "
Mr. Haynes appears to have little doubt of
the plan of reorganization being adopted as
submitted.
Action was taken by the Atchison road
today which will have a tendency to com
plicate the existing demoralization In ex
cursion rates. It gave notice of Its Inten
tion to extend the date of sale of tickets
from the trans-Mississippi for the Ue-
publlcan league meeting at Denver seas
as to Include June 3 , 24 and
25. The original dates agreed upon
were June 23 and 24. This action was taken
because the trans-Missouri lines had agreed
with the Union Pacific to change the dates
of sale to Juno 21 and 25. The Atchison also
gave notice that It would make an additional
day of sale In trans-Missouri territory for
the National Educational convention tickets
to Asbury Park. The Irlglnal agreement was
that the dates of sale should be July 6 and 7 ,
but the Atchison will now sell July 5 , C and
7. It will also have an additional day's sale
fore the Christian Endeavor society meeting
at Cleveland. The agreed dates were July
8 and 9 , but the Atchlson will sell July 8 , B
and 10. Western Passenger association lines
hauvo been authorized to take similar ac
tion In each case.
A big protest was filed by the Denver &
Rio Grande against the short limit allowed
on tickets sold the hoineopathlcs for their
convention ftt Denver. The Rio Grande as
serts these short limits have deprived the
Colorado lines of a large amount of revenue ,
as they prevented the delegates who desired
to do so from taking advantage of the Colorado
rado tours ararnged for them. It does not
want the thing repeated.

Probably the largest Icatherhcad sea turtle
ever seea In Baltimore nrrlvoil on the steamer
Eastern Shore , and was sent to the Mary

weighed between SOO and 1,000 pounds , was
seven feet long , six feet wide , and two feet
thick. The head was two feet In circum
ference , and a man could get his head In the
turtle's mouth. Its fins were as long as a
man's arm , and a foot wide. It was caught
In J. A. Marlon's fish net , at Harborton , Ac-
comae county , Va. , and had to bo raised out
of the net and on shore with n block nnd
tackle. It required fifteen minutes nnd a
crowd of men to get' the turtle on the boat.
When the monster was taken off the steamer
yesterday It required six men to turn It on
a truck. It died on the boat from Injuries
received In being hoisted out of the seine.

HERR DOWE'S ' SECRET TOLD
The Composition of the Bullet Proof Cuirass
Described.
CHINA GRASS AND EDGED STEEL
The Littler Cut * tlio llulloU itinl the farmer
Untliora the fragments The Ucrnmu
Mlllturj Sri
llxploilcd.
The secret of the much nitvcrtlscd And
widely UlacuRicil bulletproof cuirass for the
use of soldiers ulicn In action I tuivr been
sufllcleiitly fortunate to discover , writes the
London correspondent of the Philadelphia
Times , niul the Information for uhlch Hcrr
Dowc asks the Ungllsh government to pay
him 200,000 can be acquired by the United
States for the modest prlco of this paper.
It consists essentially of a combination of
a material woven of chlnn grass , the fibers ot
which arc very tenacious , and the blades
of tempered steel , aluminum or Iron , dis
posed BO that their edges arc presented to
the bullet.
The way In which the cuirass Is con
structed U as follows : A sheet of linen
or canvas Is taken. On this Is laid a
sheet of waterproof material , and then lay
ers of china grass are placed upon It , the
fibers being all disposed In the same direc
tion until the sheet Is as thick as Is re
quired. Another sheet of canvas Is then
placed upon It , and the whole Is sewn to
gether and subjected to pressure. Ono
sheet of this kind forms the front of the
cuirass and another the back. If It Is only
required to resist pistol bullets nothing fur
ther Is required , the material being sulll-
clently resistant for this purpose. The
china grass requires no treatment of any
kind , being u oil In Its natural condition.
To resist rifle bullets , however , something
inoro Is required , and this Is provided by
blades of metal placed between the front
and back of the cuirass , with a metal casing
on each side of them , the \vhclo being held
In position by a padding ot felt. The
blades are sharp at the edge presented to
the Impact of the bullet , and tint ? , when
the latter strikes the cuirass , It Is cut up
Into small pieces whose further progress Is
stopped by the sheet of china grass ma
terial.
Private Frederick Lowe , who wa ? one of
those who did the firing at the Alhambra
trial , writing to the Times the next day ,
pointed out that "the bullet fired from the
dress circle broke up and the splinters
spread laterally , " and ho shrewdly re
marked : "Wo w'ero assured that there was
no steel or Iron plate , but why did the bul
let break up and why did Its fragments
muke holes In the upper 'deck of the
cushion five Inches away ? " The explanation
Is easy If we suppose the. cuirass to be con
structed as above described , and the denial
that there was any steel or Iron plate Is
also explicable , since aluminum blades may
be substituted.
Further , and this perhaps Is tbo most sig
nificant fact of nil , there Is Captain Marten's
evasion In an Interview of the direct ques
tion whether the cuirass was proof against a
steel bullet. Steel bullets , he remarked ,
would spoil the rilling of the gun , but
whether they would spoil the cuirass or not
ho did not say.Tho Times military cor
respondent , It will be remembered , stated
that Herr Dowc and Captain Marten gave as
an explanation of certain details In tbo Al
hambra trials that In the trials In lierlln
some German officers "played on the In
ventor the cruel trick of Introducing Into
the rlflo steel bullets. " Steel bullets would ,
of course , easily penetrate a cuirass , such as
Is above described , however effective It
might bo against bullets of lead or nickel.
Hcrr Dowe'a objection to steel bullets can
therefore be easily understood.
Herr Dowe la a thick-set man , somewhat
under the medium height , with a typically
Teutonic cast ot features , square-cut Jaw
and blue eyes , the , latter having the curious
concentrated expression of men who have
pored for years over onetheme. . When
unoccupied he Elands absolutely still , with
his hands In front of him , looking Into
space. This may bo because he does not
understand a word of the English conversa
tion going on around him ; for he speaks
only German. From his appearance lie
should be about 35 years of ago. Ho was
barn In Westphalia , and for some years he
has been a tailor at Mannheim. la a re
cent Interview he said of himself :
"A man who lived next door to mo gained
1,000 marlis by an Invention , so I thought
why should I not Invent something that
would bring mo money ? Theu I looked
about for something to Invent. It had to
be something connected with my trade. At
last I determined to make a cloth which
should resist bullets. I was working at the
Invention a year and a half. I looked after
my business during the day and worked at
my cuirass at night. And during the din
ner hour I would run off tojhe Schlcssplatz
and test my material. All the time my
wife was lying HI. Bho lay III for three
years. And then she died just before I
had completed my Invention. I did not hit
upon the bullet-proof cloth all at once. I
had to go day after day to the rlflo ground
and experiment. It was not the first time ,
nor the tenth , nor the fiftieth that I suc
ceeded. At first the bullets went clean
through. Then they were stopped , but their
force was not broken. But now when the
bullet strikes my cuirass I feel no more
than a finger tap. "
The cuirass Is at present being offered to
the English government. As Hcrr Dowo Is
a poor man ho could not afford to travel
about himself giving exhibitions of the
power of the cuirass. An arrangement has
consequently been made between Captain
Marten and himself by which Captain Marten -
ton supplies the necessary capital for two
years , and during that time Herr Dowo Is In
his hands.

If the following letters had boon written
by your best known niul most cstcemoti
neighbors they could bo no moro worthy of
your confidence than t'aoy now nro , coming ,
as they do , from well known , intelligent , aim
trustworthy citizens , who , in their several
neighborhoods , enjoy the fullest conlldenco
and respect of all who know thorn. Tbo
subject of tbo nbovo portrait is n well
known and much resiecto | < l ladv , Mrs. Jolm
G. Foitor , residing at No. Si Clinpln Street ,
Canandaigim , N. Y. Sbo writes to Dr. B.
V. Floras , Chief Consulting Physician to the
'Invalids' ' Hotel and Surgical Instltuto
at Buffalo , N. Y. , as follows : "I was
troubled with eczema , or salt-rheum , sovcn
years. I doctored with a number of
our homo physicians and received no
benefit whatever. I also took treatment
from physicians in Rochester , NQW York ,
Philadelphia , Jersey City , Binglminton , nnd
received tie benefit from them. In fact
I have paid out hundreds of dollars to tbo
doctors without benefit. My brother came
to visit us from the West aud ho told mo to
trf Vr. PWrco's Qoldon Modlcal Discovery.
Be cad token It and it had cured htm. I
have taken ten bottles of the ' Discovery,1
nd am entirely cured , and if thcro should
bo any ono wishing any information I would
gladly corrcsi > end with them , if they enclose
return stamped envelope. "
Not less remarkable is tbo following from
Mr. J. A. Buxton , o prominent merchant
of Jackson. N. C. , who says : "I had
boon troubled with ekln dlsenso all my
life. As I ( jrew older the disease seemed
to be taking a stronger hold upon mo. I tried
many advertised remedies with no benefit ,
until I was led to try Dr. Piorcb's Golden
Medical Discovery. When I began talcing
It my health wag very poor s in fact , several
persons bavo since told mo that they thought
I had the consumption. I weighed only about
123 pounds. The eruption on my skin was
accompanied by severe itchi--- It was first
confined to my face , but afterwards spread
over the neck nnd head , nnd the itching be
came simply unbearable. Tills was _ my con
dition when I began taking the 'Discovery. '
When I would rub the parts affected a kind
of branny scale would fall off.
For n while I SAW no change or benefit
from taking the 'Discovery,1 but I persisted
in Its use , keening tuy Ixiwols o | > ou by taking
Dr. Pierco'H Pleasant Pellets , nnd taking aa
much outdoor exercise as was possible , until
I began to gain in flesh , and gradually the
disenso released Its hold. I took during tlia
year somowhcro from fifteen to eighteen bottles
tles of the ' Discovery. ' It Una now/ been
four years slnco I lln > t used it , nnd though
not using scarcely any sluco the flnt year ,
my health continues good. My average
weight being 1W to 100 pounds , Instead of
12't. as it was when I began the use oi the
1 Discovery.1 Many persons have reminded
mo of my improved appearance. Bema
say I look younger than I did six tear *
ngo when I was married. I am now fqrty-
eight years old , and stronger , and enjoy
bettor health than I buvo over dona before
in life. "
