WASUINOTON, Aug. 11. The Navy de
partment this afternoon decided to reject
ell bids for armor plate presented to the
department today. It Is stated nt the de
partment that this does not mean that the
nlternatlvo plan of erecting a government
armor plato factory will bo adopted, al
though the secretary of tho navy has at his
disposal ?l,00O,00O with which to start such
a plant In case satisfactory terms cannot
bo mndu with tho private manufacturers.
It la stated today that new ndvertlscmcntB
will be Issued as speedily na possible and
tho contractors will b3 Riven another chance
to put their bids Into such shape as will
bo acceptable to tho government.
Tho reason assigned for tho rejection
of bids In tho demand from all tho bid
ders for too largo a proportion of tho en
tiro nmount of armor plato. The lowest
bidder, tho MIdvalo Steel company, was
not satisfied to accept less than 20,000
tons of tho 3fi,000 to bo contracted for. At
tho rate of delivery proposed by tho MId
valo company tha government could not
liavo gotten Its armor to complete tho
whips now In course of construction within
n reasonable time. Tho other twti bid
ders, the Bethlehem nnd Carnegie compa
nies, wero much higher In their figures
nnd Insisted on having the wholo amount
of armor divided between thorn on equal
terms. It la said tho conditions of se
crecy Insisted on by these two companies
regarding tho manufacture of Krupp armor
would not have been necessarily of sub
stantial objection.
Tho action of tho government In
promptly rejecting tho bids Is taken to
menu a determination to bring tho con
tractors to reasonable terms. On tho

LONDON, Aug. 11. While people in the
United States nro enduring sevorn heat
waves the weather in this country has
been extraordinarily cold, tho thermom
eter registering 60 degrees nnd lower. The
cold, prolonged raim nnd gales have
nearly spoiled country life nnd sport.
London is empty of the leisure class nnd
with few exceptions tho ministers, diplo
mats nnd financiers havo gone to the coun
tryside with tho several thousand idlers
preparatory to tho beginning of the shoot-
ng season next week. The slio of the
coveys nnd tho probabilities of the gen-
crnl election taking place early In Octo
ber nre tho paramount subjects for dis
cussion among tho directors of public
opinion. Tho conscrvnttvo offices nnd the
liberal headquarters nre deep in campaign
business. Immense quantities of litera
ture arc being sent out to the constitu
encies. Within twenty-five days nftor the
dissolution of Parliament it is announced
tho newly elected Parliament will meet.
Baron Russell of Ktllowen, whose death
m tho result of an operation occurred yes
terday morning, wnH one of tho most en
gaging nnd loving personalities in Kng
Ilsh public life. His generosity to his
friends, Indeed to anybody whom he be
came aware was In difficulties, swnllowcd
whllo he was a practicing barrister 20,-
000 a year and Involved him In debts that
threatened to destroy his pence of mind
and injure his professional future.
PrlpmlH Help Hlui Out.
'What you want to do," said ono of his
friends, "is to syndicate yourself and let
a managing director conduct your prac
tice nnd flnanco your money maktug pos
sibilities."
This was actually done. A committee of
friends paid off all debts, received all hia
Income, gnve him a largo allowance and
brought system into his accounts until ho
not only was frco from debts, but had sub
stantial Investments In tho funds.
A display advertisement Is running In
tho dally papers signed by Lords Ports
mouth, Klnnnird, Wlmbcrno and Grim
thorpe, nppeallng to the public for JO, 000
to pay tho expenses of organizing tho elec
torate "so as to Influence the general elec
tion" to prevent tho Episcopal church re
verting to tho principles and practices ot
tho church of Rome. "Mass and auricula!
confession," ays tho advertisement, "are
openly advocated and forced on Protestant
children in churches under shelter of the
Kplsropal veto." Seven parliamentary
agents aro nt work and canvassing is go
ing on In nearly every constituency In
England. Already 10,100 has been sub
scribed. Sir Chlh Chen Lo Feng Luh, tho Chinese
minister to England, was the solitary mem
ber of tho diplomatic corps who did not hold
a lighted cnndlo ot the requiem mass for
King Humbert In tho Italian church ot,
Thursday. Lord Salisbury seemed quite
nt home with his torch. The duke of De
vonshlro looked thoroughly uncomfortable,
porhaps having in mind the severo views
of Lords Portsmouth und Wlmberne. The
duko blew out his candio too soon and
then looked sorry. It was noticed that tht
Chlneso minister shook hands ceremonl
ously with all the diplomats except tin,
Japancso minister.
Americans Save the tiny.
"Tho American colony," ns the fleet ot
white yachts flying tho stars and stripes
at Cowes Is railed, nlono saved the his
toric yachting week from being a dlsmat
figure. The prlnco of Wales himself did
all possible during tho last two days to
onllven tho situation; but a prlnco In
mourning Just homo from tho funeral ot
his brother Is not the liveliest merry
maker, nnd Cowes hopes to wnlt many
years before it sees a duller season. "By
nil menns tho smartest steam yachts here,"
said Sir Thomas Llpton at Cowes, "and
many of tho handsomest sailing craft aro
flying tho American colors. Last year
Prnnco seemed to lead, but It Is almost on
ttroly absent this week nnd tho Americanf
aro easily entitled to first plnco."
Many members of tho Royal Yacht squad
ron nre equally enthusiastic in their praise
of tho American dleplny. No visitors to this
cxcluslvo place aro moro warmly greeted
than are the owners of American boats.
Sir Thomas Upton's name was not pro
posed for membership nt tho Royal Yacht
squadron meeting on Monday. The expla
nation furnished among those in n position
lo pronounce nn opinion on tho subject Is
that tho understanding got nbroad that if
not the prlnco of Wales himself other notn
ble persons wero attempting to rush Sir
Thomas through. It needed only a breath
of this kind before balloting to settle the
fato of any presumptive candidate, for this
most exclusive club does not like even Its
royal members to appear to have too much
control, even though tho members may not
havo tho slightest personal objection to n
candidate. When this condition of affairs
was discovered Sir Thomas Llpton's name
naturally was not presented.
Mrs, Brown Potter appears to bo a lucky
woman. Not only has Lndy Meux pre
sented her with n play by Belasco, hut
Belasco himself gavo her ns a parting gift
tho Australian rights to "Madame Butter
fly," a very suitable gift, as Mrs. Potter
Is considering an offer from James William
Bon to star In Australia In 1901. Tho Belasco
play was written especially for her and will
bo produced in London. The first port Is
said to be as long and ns strong as "Zaza,"
but depleting a different style of woman.

ROME, Aug. 11. King Victor Emanuel
III. took the formal constitutional oath to
day before Parliament. The Senate cham
ber was draped with mourning, the benches
und tribunes being covered with black fur
nishings, bordered with sliver. Tho cham
ber was filled with senators and deputies,
royal missions, high officials ot stuto and
tho diplomatic cotps. Tho booming of
cannon announced tho departure of the royal
party from the Qulrlnnl.
All along the route large crowds were
assembled and gave tho new king an ova
tion. He wan received on tho steps of the
Sonnto by the rommlttees of the Chamber
of Deputies und Senate in a pavilion spo-
cclully erected nnd handsomely decorated.
When the cortege entered tho Senate cham
ber the king, being accompanied by the
duko of Aosta, tho count ot Turin nnd the
duke ot Genoa, the deputies nnd senators
aroso and then began a Ions .nd exciting
sceno of enthusiasm. His majesty later
took the oath and delivered an address. Tho
weather was beautiful.
Tho king In his address roferred to tho
advices of mourning hero and abroad and
spoka of the friendship uniting Italy wltb
all foreign powers. He said Italy will bo
a forceful Instrument ot concord and will
assist in maintaining pcaco and asked for
internal accord, as tho monarchy nnd Par
liament should proceed united. The king,
tho address said, knows his rights nmt
duties and feels that he will nlways havt
the fnll confidence of liberal Institutions or
Italy, nnd bo able by his Initiative nna
energy to vigorously defend theso Institu
tions. His majesty Invoked God to witness
his promises nnd assured his hearers that
ho would work with all his heart for tho
grandeur nnd prosperity of Itnly.
During the ceremony of taking tho oath
tho king stood, as did thoso who assisted In
tho function, Including the queen nnd the
princesses. Ho pronounced tho words in a
loud voice, saying: "In tho prosenco ot
God nnd beforo the nation, I swear to loy
ally lespect tho stntutea, to cxcrclso tho
royal nuthorlty only iu pursuance of tho
laws and in conformity with thorn, to render
to each subject, according to his rights, full
and cntlro Justice, and to conduct myself
under all circumstances as having only iu
view tho Interests of prosperity and honor
ot tho nation."
As soon as his majesty had concluded all
present broko out Into loud acclamations,
the ovation lnstlng seven minutes, while
cries of "Viva el Re" resounded throughout
the hnll. Tho king next signed the parch
ments containing the oath nnd the senators
roso in a body and took tho oath, crying to
gether, "lo giuro" (I swenr). The deputies
wero sworn In tho sarao manner. The whole
ceremony, concluding with the oaths ot al
Icglnnce o tho senators and deputies, was
touching and imposing.
Tho king then read his address nnd with
tho same ceremony with which tbey wero re

nal through tho still crowded streets, the
peoplo vigorously shouting for and cheering
the new- king.
