WASHINGTON, April :s.-The Senate was plunged into an exciting financial. debate today after several weeks of screno and formal procedure on appropriation bills. The naval appropriation bill was under consideration, and the item of four battle ships, to cost an Aggregate of $15,000,000. served as a tex$ for a speech by Mr. Gorman, pointing out that the revenues of the government are less than the receipts. Mr. Gorman's statements brought on an animated controversy, In which Mr. Sherman, Mr. Hale and Mr. Chandler joined hsucs with the Maryland Senator as to the reponsibIllty for the failure of tariff legislation In the present Congress. Mr. Gorman's speech and tho heated colloquies It developed attracted great interest, crowds filling .'the galleries for th first time since the Cuban debate and many - members of the House coming over to listen to the proceedings. The tattle ship item was not completed when the Senate adjourned. The pending question when the Senate convened was on the amendment offered by Mr. Chandler making it unlawful for retired naval officers to enter fhe service of contractors furnishing naval material to the government. Before proceeding with this amendment Mr. llacon reported an important new amendment from the committee on naval affairs. It provides as a condition to the building of four battia ships, as provided by the bill, that in case the Secretary of the Navy makes separate contracts for armor or armor plate, he shall not accept bids exceeding J3G0 per ton for such armor, and in case the Secretary cannot make contracts within such limits, he shall delay action and report the facts to the next session of Congress. The Chandler amendment was, agreed to 45 to 11. As adopted the prohibition against naval officers serving naval contractors goes into effect June 30. 1W. This brought the Senate to the most important feature of the bill, the appropriation for four battle ships, to cost $3.T5o.OtO each, three thirty-knot torpedo boats at JSOO.OOO, and ten torpedo boats at $500,000. Mr. Gorman moved an amendment to flx the number of battle ships at two instead of four and Mr. Quay an amendment fixing the number at six. Mr. Gorman then addressed the Senate In support of his amendment. The whole country, he said, had been stirred up by the message of the executive, and responsive to this the public and the press had been in a etate of excitement as to our relations with other nations. When Congress assembled It was Informed by the executive that the financial conditions of the country were of the first moment: that the condition of the treasury demanded economy, or else the country would be confronted with either an Increase of taxation or el.e the sale of bonds Hut when the war scare took possession of us more vessels were demanded, appropriations greater than tho?e of war times were proposed, and the Secretary of the Navy revised his recommendation of two battle ships by proposing from four to six battle shlp3. "This from a Cabinet officer." proceeded 'Mr. Gorman, "was considered a Justification for these enormous appropriations in time of neace, in face of -the fact, known to every Senator, that there was not revenue enougli to pay the ordinary expenses of the jrovernment: that there had been, is and will be, a deficit in the treasA warded Highest Honors World's Fcir, mm MOST PERFECT MADE.

ury; that there has not been for four years sufficient revenue to meet the oppropriatlons of Congress." The Senator added that of the amounts paid for psnslons and ships, $!S2,0CO,Oj came from the sale of bonds. This presented the question. Is it wise, in time cf peace, to make , these great approriatlons? It was evident that there would e no legislation in this Congress for the relief of the treasury. Mr. Gorman had been speaking with much earnestness and it was evident that a debate of more than passing interest had Opened. The galleries quickly filled and th3 rear and side areas were crowded wltn Representatives who came over from the House. During Mr. Gorman's last statement Mr. Sherman rose hastily for an Interruption. "I am very glad the Senator has confessed the sin, the great sin. of the Democratic party," salj Mr. Sherman. "The Republican House of Representatives had framed a bill increasing the revenues of the government fifty millions and that bill was ent Jo the Senate. Here it was defeated by the votes cf the other side of the chamber, "&. that the only measure offeree to this Congress to raise more revenue was defeated by Democratic votes." This precipitated a question of who controlled the s-enate, Mr. Gorman declaring Republican control of the committees settled the point. "We warned you." he said, "that you had not the power to relieve the country ami asked you to Join us in a nonpartisan measure of relief. But our offer was rejected. You assumed the task alone. . Yoa also knew you were without the power unless you got your forces together. You knew 'there could be no action, and In my Judgment this propoal to relieve the treasury was intended as a failure." "I most emphatically deny that," again interposed Mr. Sherman as he proceeded to show that the revenue bill was nonpartisan in character and a relief measure, pure and simple. "And I say it is a disgrace to the Congress of the United States, particularly to the Senate." proceeded Mr. 8herman, with great earnestness, "that when it was known that th .receipts of the government did not meet the expenditures no action was taken and the proposed bill was defeated. In every month since the administration began tbe receipts have been less than the expenditures, and .vet the party of this administration refuse to aid In a measure of relief." Mr. Gorman responded that the Ohio Senator knew no agreement could be reached on a measure such as had been brought in. Mr. Sherman, interrupting, said It was one of the remarkable Incidents of this Congress that there were as many Democrats as Republicans on many of the Senate committees. This was the case in the finance committee, which passci on the revenue bill. ' Mr. Hale next Interrupted and asked Mr. Gorman when there was a tender on his part of Democratic co-operation In framing a revenue bill. "When was this dicker proIo?td?" flsked Mr. Hale. T never heard of it before." Mr. Gorman replied that no dicker had been proposed, but he had suggested when ttie Republicans were about to take control of the committees that both sides come together cn a general policy. "I now recall." proceeded Mr. Hale, "that the Senator suggested that the best thoughts of the Senate should come together and roach an understanding as to organization.

Rut I never supposed the Senator meant to come together on the great question of tariff and finance. Mr. Sherman at thin point called attention to the fact that the tariff bill had been defeated In the finance committee with a silver bill, for which all the Democrats had voted, but Mr. Gorman refused to be diverted to the silver question and rfarserted that the Hepuhllcins worn In control of th finance ccmrrlttt an" renponflble for legislation. "Ilowflo yoti rrmlie that out?" asked 8nafr Sherman nnd Hale In chorus. "Iet un read th list." answered Mr. Gorman, plcklnic up a congressional directory. He rfad: "Morrill, Sherman, Jons. cf Nvad.i." fveral Republican Senators wero on their fpet. but Mr. Gorman yielded to Mr. tfhtrman, who ild It h well known tlut that Senator had taken his position with the third party. ' "Yr," nid Mr. Gorman, "but he wns put on the nmmlttro ax a Hrpubllmn. He nan not a Democratic hair In hla heaJ on finance. Livery Senator named was elocteJ us a Republican nnd wn Pliced on the cornmltter a Republican." After further parleying on thla point. Mr. Gorman, renximlng hla speech, charirod that tho H'hcmo wax to provide griMter appropriation than the revenue could meet and thus prepare the way for ft higher tariff. Th Senator then anrutvl that our revenue difficulties were due, to the McKln!-y law and extravagant Republican rxponditurr. He rend a wutrmcnt of the 8u.'rvtary of tho Tmnaury. s.iyln that while the situation mlirht not require more revenue It was such as to require the strlrteft economy. "Yet In the faco of that statement." he pmM. "we will have a bill appropriating $51, w (mt) for the nuvy In tlnn of pew. The expenditure next year would be t'SMW.ftoo, the revenue but f374.(MxOoo. Rut in addition to this enormous discrepancy between the revenues nnd expenditures, the House had authorized contract by the War, Navy and Treasury Departments to the amount of eighty-four and one-half millions." The appropriation on the river and harbor bill, with all Its defects, he regarded as much more important to the people than the appropriations for the navy. He Indorsed Carllsle'n action In using proceeds of bonds to meet this deficiency and declared that it would have been criminal "not to have done so." In closing hi speech, the Senatorwith great sarcasm, referred to the Secretary of the Navy oni Ms ambition to build up. man and equip a "splendid navy. Our great Secretary of the Navy," said he then, after a pause, "that 1 to say our Secretary of the Navy, who Is not great, who went lnto' the Cabinet because of the success of Democratic lie-as as we supposed, asked for more ahlps and more men." He described the demand of tho Secretary with unfeigned contempt and attribute! much of his Inspiration to association with naval officers who were anxious for ships to command. He ended with an appeal to the Senate to limit expenditures, if the revenues could not be increased. . Mr. Stewart followed with a financial speech and then, at 3:35 p. m., the Senate adjourned. ARMOR-PL ATI2 IXQlTinT. Testimony Taken by the Senate Commit ee Made Public. WASHINGTON. April 23. The Senate committee on naval affairs to-day made public the testimony taken In the armor plate investigations. This investigation was directed largely at Commander Folger, who had ;accepted a position with the Harvey company after his retirement from the office of chief of the Bureau of Ordnance of the navy department. In his testimony, Mr. Folger said that he had felt a deep Interest In Mr. Harvey's discovery from the beginning, but that he did not agree with the Harvey company to enter Its employ until after he had resigned as chief of ordnance. He had, however, received a proposition to accept a place with the company about eighteen months before he left the bureau, but he had declined to consider it; nor was any offer of shares of stock made to him then. His res Ignatlon took effect In January, 1S93, and he became general manager of the Harvey company in. March! He says that he did not go to Europe to arrange contracts with foreign Lcvernments as stated In the Senate resolution, but to settle "a controversy with the foreign acent of the company.' Referring to the charges cf J. R. Davles as developed In that gentleman's suit against the company for $10,000 for having Introduced Harvey to him, Mr. Fo!ger quoted a letter he had written In which he said: "I did net make Mr. Davies's acquaintance until after I became chief of ordnance, and then in no manner connected with the Harvey process. I only recollect Qlr. Davies in connection with an extraordinary . remark he once made to me as to his' Intimacy with General Tracy, then Secretary of the Navy. I do not think I saw Mr. Davies three" times during the developments of the Harvey plate, a period extending over four years. Mr. Harvey once asked me If It would facilitate matters if he had an agent in Washington to urge the a!e of tool steel and mentioned Mr. Davies's name. I replied, and your letter recalls this circumstance, which I had forgotten, that such an agent would be a disadvantage to him, as I preferred to talk with the principals on technical matters," Ir. Folger admitted asking that Harvey's application for patent be expedited, but said this was done because of the novelty and importance to the department of hH invention. Ho said that while with the department he wai not influenced In his dealings with the Harvey company by the possibility that he might cnttr the employment cf the company. In reply to a question as to the cost of manufacturing armor plate nd the price paid by the government, he said he believed the ccst to be from td to C0 per ton. while the price paid Is fTOO. "I think." he continued; "that cost should not Ik- taken alone as a measure cf the price .hat we should pay. There Is a certain risk that manufacturers may have armor plate thrown back on their hands through failure to pass contract tests and that enhance. the price somewhat." Secretary Herbert explained in his 'testimony many points unler Investigation, amor.g others the reason why Secretary Tracy provided a fund of 2 cents per pound on armor plate by the Carnegie company In adiltlon to the price paldVsiylng It wis to Indemnify the company against a claim of the rfchnelier company, of Creusat, France, for Infringement of patent. He said the money ihu provlJed had never been paid. n1 that Its payment had been relisted. He Mil it had been desirable at the time the contract wa maia to have competition in

the construction of armor plate; the Bethlehem company, tine only Institution capable of making it at . that time, and he thought this concern would have sufficient" to Justlfy the offer of 2 cents additional If competition could rot otherwise be secured. Mr. Herbert said that up to date 55.522,204 had been paid U the Bethlehem company, and J4.657.351 to Carnegie for armor plate. Existing contracts call for $800,000 more. He said the manufacturers had agreed to reduce the price on future contracts to 1450 per ton, but the plate at that price was not to be Harveyized. Mr. Herbert said that Commander Folger had approached him on behalf of the Harvey company, but not until after he had resigned his position as chief of ordnance; he was still, however, an officer of the navy. Referring to the question of Eitents, the' Secretary said that Captain ampaon. present chief of the Bureau of Ordnance, recommended to him to disregard the 'Harvey prvcess, and said that in future contracts the department ' would not be governed by it, giving ihe opinion himself mat Senator.ChinJle.r has given, that the Harvey patent was invalid, and would be so decided. He. therefore, decided not to pay any more on that- account. He gald he understood, that .ex-Secretary Tracy's firm was counsel for the defense of the Harvey patent. " Mr. Andrew Carnegie, in giving his statement that Secretary Tracy and President Harrison had been responsible for forcing r.ini into the making of armor, said: "If it had not been for a telegram received when-1 was abroad stating that Secretary Tracy had requested us to do our duty to help the United States government out of its difficulties when Its ships were standing In the stocks and it could not get armor you would never have found the Carnegie Company engaged in the manufacture of armor. The Bethlehem company was too fanguine. They did not know bo much about armor making as I think I did. I had often visited the European works and nothing could have induced me to go into the manufacture of armor plate as a money making business. If we had put the money we have In the armor plate plant to-day and the time and skill into our regular business we could have made much more money than we have made and we would have had no 'trouble.' Mr. Blaine had also urged him. saying It was feared that not a ship would be finished in President Harrison's administration. He said he entered upon the work as a matter of patriotism. "Had we." he said. ' "done what we did

for a European government a peerage or the Ixglon or Honor would have been orfered us." Mr. Carnegie said there was $3,000,000 invested in his armor plant, and the reason the business did not pay was because there were contracts for only three thousand tons a year. The plant often stops for six months, but interest and expenses go on. He said the price received was exactly the English price, and he had been amated that the Bethlehem company had agreed to accept such a price, because of the dlfd'erene'e In the cost of labor. He said the government could not attempt to make armor without going into the steel business also. lie thought the government could not establish a plant for less than $o.0".00i, as It would have to Include a steel plant, and more than another million would be necessary for Mtock. Chief Constructor Hrchborn. of the navy, gave the opinion In his statement that an armor plant could be established for $J,0(X), W). "So far." he aid. "from believing a government armor plant necessary or deslrnKe, I am of the opinion that the present direct relations betwet-n the department and private armor plunts are undeslruble, and that equally good armor, nt much cheaper rates, would bo bo obtained If tho ship builder purchased his armor from thu manufacturer as ho now purchases his structural stecl tu;vi:i,AM (a AitniiD.

Benjamin Harrison Is by all odds the best equipped man for the presidency in the United States. He is not a popular man. His manner is not pleasing. There is no magnetism In his make-up. He makes enemies when another more suave and adroit would-make friends. It is a question whether he can command as many votes as a new candidate. But In ability to discharge he duties of the presidency, in loyalty to his country and his party, in Integrity and faithfulness, in wisdom to plan and capacity to execute, his peer cannot, be found. His administration was as honorable and as successful as any in our history. Ho fhowed 'himself competent to manage any and every department of the government as judiciously and skillfully as any of the great men whom he called about him. When Blaine was incapacitated by a protracted illness Harrison was Secretary of State. When the Secretary of the Treasury died Harrison took his place until a successor could be found. When any Cabinet officer was disabled Harrison did his work. When the two branches of Congress could not agree upon a tariff bill it was the. hand of Harrison that ishaped wise and satisfactory compromise. He never, said a foolish thing. He never did what needed to be apologized for. He was a great President in every sense of the term, and this has been made so apparent and has come to be so well understood, not only by the study of his record but by the contrast with that of his successor, that a great majority of the people would delight to know that he was to return to the White House. The country appreciates Itenjamln Harrison and knows it would be ?afe in his hanl. We wish we were certain that the national convention would not so further and do worse.

Hank In Fifteen Mlnutea In Sixty Feet of Water Ttto Firemen Scalded The Crulaer 'Damaged. WASHINGTON, April 2S. The officials of the Navy Department were very much disquieted this morning by the receipt of a dispatch stating that the United States steamer Columbia had been In collision at Newport News last night. The telegram camo from Admiral llunce, commanding tho North Atlantic squadron, to which the Columbia It attached. Tho message, reads: "Sandu reporti that the Old Dominion steamer Wyanoke last, nfght fouled tho Columbia, anchored at Newport New?, a:. J wunk under her forefoot. The passengers wre all s.iv?d. Hevtral cf the crew,' Includ Ing two flromen, werestyilded und nra being attended by the Columbia's surgeons. Tho damage to tho Columbia la; One holo two foot In diameter on port aide, ten fet above tho wnt.T llnj; heavy, Indontatlonn two feet above the water II119 on. tho same aide, and Indentation of one plate on the starboard sldo opposite thn hole, opening a seam for about six feet; temporary loss ot one un chor and forty-five fathom of chain. I shall rnd her to the Norfolk navy yard as soon as tho requirements of rsrsgraph 400, naval regulation, aro complied with." The reRulatlon rtfe-jred to by Admiral Dunce Is that requiring a survey to be made by a pecialboaf dj'JbjcViOficfira Immediately after an accident, to ascertain the extent of the Injuries sustained by tho naval vessel, and what repairs are. necessary. It Is believed that in this' case there can bo little doubt that the blame must rest on the ofllcera of the Wyanoke, unlesB It can be shown that the Columbia was anchored in a dangerous position 'and failed, to exhibit tho lights Indicating that she lay' at anchor. The naval vessel was undoubtedly Jvery lucky, in coming out of the collision as well as she did. She is a triple scrw cruiser of 7,375 tons burden, and, next to the Minneapolis, her sister-ship, the fleetest cruiser In the United States navy, or; Indeed, in the world, and as it was necessary to'co'nstruct her hull very lightly in orueic to accommodate the weight of her tremndoui machinery of 18,000 horse-power, her frames are not as heavy as is usual in all vessels of her tonnage. Fortunately lor her, the Columbia Is fitted with a big steel ram, . and the additional strength given to her bow by this, it is thougnt, undoubtedly' saved the vessel from more serious and perhaps vital injury. It is not yet clear whether or.. not the xorce of the blow dealt by the Wyanoke was received on the steel ram, but even If the upper portion of the Columbia's bow received the Impact by reason of the overhang of the Wyanoke's side, the stiffening, of the cruiser's bow by" the addition of, the ram must have assisted greatly In the resistance to the blow. From the hasty account of the Columbia's Injuries furnished by Admiral Bunce in his telegram, it Is apparent that the ship has not suffered severely and a couple of weeks at the navy yard would suffice to make all needed repairs. The Admiral refer3 to the los3 of the anchor and chain as temporary, by which he means that the anchor which held the Columbia" and ' was carried away in the collision now lies with Its cable at the bottom of the harbor, where it may be easily recovered by dragging. This account, coming so Boon after the serious InJury of a merchant steamer which ran into the United States steamer Monterey in Puget sound and the' damaging of another American merchantman, by running Into the United States steamer Alert in the Colombian report, all happening when the naval vessels were under the. disadvantage of lying at anchor, causes naval officials to remark that it is not as safe now, to ram naval vessels as It was In the'tlmo of the old Tallapoosa. ' ' -Another dispatch states that the Wyanoke sank In about a quarter of an hour In sixty feet of water.- There .were on board the Wyanoke 107 passengers and the crew numbering 42. Of the 77 steerage passengers some may have been drowned. All the baggage and cargo went down. The passengers warmly praise the conduct of the officers during the excitement. Captain Jenny and purser Rurdette were the last to leave the sinking vessel and were, compelled to Jump overboard In order to prevent being carried down with the wreckage. The commander of the Columbia has appointed a board of Investigation to determine how.'far the naval officers are responsible for the accident. The Columbia was anchored very near the pier and was not seen from the Wyanoke on account 'of the brilliancy of the electric lights on the pier. ' SCHOOL CHILDREN HURT.
