There he became connected with the tin plate industries and is now the first vice-president and acting manager of the trust into which they have bven formed. The headquarters of the American lin Plate company were moved to iSew ork yesterday. in iiucago tilings were growing a little warm for trusts.

This has been set for 3 p. iu., tomorrow although the differences which have arisen on the bill may compel a rearrangement of the programme. The general debate on the measure will close this evening and tomorrow up to the hour of voting the debate will proceed under the 5-minute rule. Extraordinary Interest - attaches . to the outcome of this straggle, owing to the differences which have arisen on the Republican side of the chamber.

THE SPRING FASHIONS.

rfM at iKr Tnla Ceds W Will Wear Sett finatr. fcve.j day Is a new day. yet It is so i like y-steruay that one could scarcely dehne the UiCereUce in tueiu. alia Ulis Is jut how it is with the new spring fashions. They are just like the fash Ions of last spring with a very few points of tllffetence. There are the dainty thin goods, and these will be covered with delicate laces and such other trimmings as one may desire. Organdies, dotted Swisses. plumetis. nainsook, dimity, khaki, linen lawns and rephyr ginghams, per cales and cotton crvpocs without end are among the new wash dresses, and all are old acquaintances in new col or and rather new patterns. The percales are particularly pretty White with black dots makes the pret tiest kind of gowns for morning and 4 shirt waists. Polka dots are seen ev erywhere. even on the velvets and surah, cbica and India silk and sev eral of the light flannels. Of washable goods the counters are full. and. as I said, there Is nothing really new among them. WashabU' silks there are in abUDdanee. some of them exquisitely pretty and some of them so ugly that they art "awfully swell and stylish." There are three or four new weaves In lijht silks and Innumerable ones In' wool and silk, some of them thin and some thick. some firm and others flexible and so open as to appear like grenadine. There are also grenadines In dozen? of designs, with the old favorite "iron frame" always leading the list. Thl made up over colored linings Is one ol the most pleasing of them alL In the black goods for summer weai there are china crapes, crepons. gauzes chiffon, veilings and silk crapes mad waterproof. These are mostly in black and are Intended for mourning. Yet made up over bright colored lining; nothing could be prettier, the shading brought about being very beautifu and the effects so elusive and chang lng. These are to be trimmed with r little lace, and here and there a sus plclon of the bright color beneatL shows to the outside. Veilings are tc be among the most fashionable of al these dainty dark stuffs unless presen signs fail. Veiling makea deliciouslj oft and graceful dresses, especially for the young. There are veilings Ir tbe pastel tints as well as black. Foulards bid fair to be the popula ilks for next summer. They are print ELABOKATB SPHIXG SUIT. ed In various designs, on black or dart colored grounds. Foulard is not oftec seen in light shades, but there are 8 few, but this is not a silk that evei commends itself for very dressy wear It Is more for every day, but it is serv lc able. Many of the Japanese wasl. silks have heavy cords. The new panne velvet In all sorts ol pompadour designs Is among the novel ties. It in not intended for full cos tumes so much as for separate waists (ruimpes and fancy garnitures. Per sonally I do not., like it, but It I thought pretty by most people. The spriug woolens are in the malr beautlfuL However desirable foi many things silk, satin and velvet are there is nothing to take the place ol wool for utility. This is produced ii so many different weaves and manners as to make one think there must t hundreds of different kinds of woolet fibers. There are now In black, eaci one a distinct kind of goods, Venetians ta raise, crape cloths, drap d'almas clairettes. mohairs, both plain and fan cy: sateens, prunella cloths, cheviots serges, estamcnes, camel's hairs, cov erts and cravanettes, the most of these and especially the coverts and crava nettes. being waterproof. Whipcord Is one of the prettiest a well as one of the best wearing of th spring woolens. When In the best quality. It Is handsome and reseinbiet heavy", corded silk more than anything woolen. A most elaborate costumi was made cf that. It consisted of s long redlngote open In front over a dresi of the same. The front of the skirt was lapped tu snch a way as to represent three skirts with stitched dgea.

PROGRESS OF NAVIES.

Recent Tendencies as Shown by Pi aitice of Foreign Lands. LESS053 TAUGHT BY EPA2TISH WAE Battleships the Real FlgklUt Strength at a atla at Sesv Talaa t Little Gss-Effller of TorpeW Boata and Torpeao Tabcs-Gcr. u;'i Ssvsl rncraaxae. The naval annual Just Issued from the office of naval intelligence at Washington l of exceptional Interest an.l "breadth of scope. The leading feature Is an article entitled "Recent Tendencies of Foreign Naval Develop ment and the Effect Thereon of the Re cent War With Spain." by Lieutenant Commander George H. Peters. This article presents in succinct shape many of the lessons taught by the Spanish war and utilized by the nrfvles of foreign nations, says tbe Philadelphia Public Ledger. Beginning with the Rtattrnvrnt that the most striking fea ture is the marked effort now being made by the important maritime powers to increase their naval strength, the article points out that one result of the Spanish war was to demonstrate beyoud further argument that battleships constitute the real fighting strength of a navy, even In France, ir?ch has long clung to the armored cruiser. Armored coast defense vessels have been practically ignored in new construction. While the war threw no new light on the value of torpedo boats, attention was freshly directed to their vulnerability, and Germany has abandoned the building of any more small boats. Still, some weight U attached to the moral effect of torpedo boats and their use in training .young officers. Another war lesson was that the big guns ou board ship are secondary hereafter and dependence must be placed upon a primary battery of rapid fire guns of modern caliber. Already the German navy has reduced the caliber of its heaviest guns to 9.43. Above water torin-do tubes have been aban doned. aud while some underwater tubes are retained the tendency is toward clearing a battleship completely of these devices. , Armor must be widely distributed and not restricted to the water line and gun positious. Foreign navies are se curing the very best armor, regardless of cost. There is a universal effort to abolish wood and combustibles from naval vessels. Canvas boats are to be tested. Water tube boilers are now be yond discussion for naval use, and the only question open Is that of type. Tor pedo nets have been abandoned. Tremendous efforts are making in foreign navies to improve gun practice, and In Germany the ships go to sea every day for target practice, even reserve ships, while tbe British navy has largely in creased its allowance of ammunition for practice firing. Foreign opinion criticises American gun pointers as showing much room for Improvement, based on their performance at Manila and Santiago. Commander Peters, however, comments that never before have fleets been so utterly destroyed through gun fire. A comprehenselve Ida of the tremendous naval programme of the German empire is afforded by an article contributed by Lieutenant -E. W. Kittele, entitled "The Creation and Main tenance of a German Battle Fleet." He gives from German authorities in great detail all of the argument which leads to the government demand that the navy be Increased over and above the present building programme by 07 battleships, 15 large cruisers and 30 small cruisers, to cost 1.700,000.000 marks. He quotes German technical papers as saying that the government has eliminated the continental powers in calculations based on the attitude of foreign countries toward the Ger man Increase. The discussion Is said to have narrowed down to Great Brit ain, Japan and the United States, and one paper holds that England and the United States will soon be checked in the increase of their navies by the question of manning ships and Japan by the question of money, so that Germany will be in a position to cope with them severally or collectively. . . The usual chapter on ships and torpedo boats is this year contributed by Lieutenant C. C. MarSh and abounds in notes upon the foreign construction that has taken place during the year and that which is projected. The large place filled by Japan In this chapter is worthy of note. Lieutenant Commander William II. Driggs furnishes an article on ordnance and armor, in which he draws many useful conclusions from a comparison of the Spanish and American f.hips during the late war. Contrary to some other writers, he Insists that the Spanish commanders of the torpedo boat destroyers lacked neither dash nor discretion. He holds that the boats failed to do damage owing to their in ability to run through the American gun fire. Commander Driggs says that a battleship can easily, take care of two such beats on each beam In clear weather. He takes vigorous issue with tbe continental writers, who have be littled the skill of tbe American gun ners, disagreeing with their statement that the percentage of hits was onl; between three and four, but Insisting that even so that was all that was needed. This officer attaches great value to the automatic pistol, which has been adopted by Germany and Italy in the army and navy, and he supplies a full description of the details cf the weapon, which firos ten bullets by one depression of the trig ger. Thorite is said to have given the most prom'sin? results of all high explosive aU-utidy tested. A 10 Inch shell load ei with jovire is said to have been dred through a 14ia inch face hardened plate of nickel steel and then exploded by a fuse In the rear. Notwithstanding this feat, black powder is still held to be the Iest explosive for bursting shells. Our navel smokeless powder Is held to be superior to the "British cordite, as demonstrated by a trial made by the New Orleans gnas. Little progress has been made in the improvement oi armor, the year's trials simply fnrthei establishing the superiority of the Krurp armor. .

The war spirit is In the air. At every railway (station there are soldiers and their friends, who assemble in crowds to say pood by, and as the time cornea for the departure of the trains which are to carry the soldier to h!a quarters before he lea res for South Africa some of the scenes are very affecting. Nothing la more common than to see young wmen weeping aa If their hearts would break as the soldiers lea re, and It is noticeable that In the midst of It all. when opportunity of questioning even these people is given, they one and all say: 'It must be. Soldiers most go. It is the country's need, and we want our sons or brothers to be brave. "It ia not alone the sons of the poor, the working classes, who are going. The most remarkable thing Is the way men In high places, sons of nobles and aristocrats and professional men, are offering themselves by thousands. The queen's son Is known to be pained because not allowed to go. Thirty members cf the h juse of commons are gone, also the sons of law lords, editors and literary men. The chief of the Royal College of Surgeons, a man of national fame. Is at the front. The lord mayor of London has raised a 'crack regiment of l.fKX) men. Forty thousand men wanted to nerve In It, It Is said. The men accepted are the very flower of England's sons, tall and without defect. Every man Is well equipped. Tbey had such a send off from London as has not been given to any soldiers since tbe Russian war. A. ban quet was given In their honor at which the most lordly of England's jndgea. the moft famous cf her barristers, wer proud to be waiters. At a great service a St. Paul's cathedral the crowd could not find room, anil the singing ot "O Ood of Bethel' will never be forgotten. "llere there Is a peace at any price party, insignificant In nambers and small In influence. Nearly all feet that the government did not know, as It ought to have known, what tbe Boer were doing in th recent past to prepare for war. or bow well they were prepared, but a spirit of criticism 1 not that of the hour. All feel that the government must be supported at any cost and that the war must and will end in victory for the British arms. The fortitude of England is seen in tbe way It receires disastrous news. Never for an Instant Is a tbonght of change ot policy expressed. No word savoring of retreat is heard. "Onward! SI ore money! More men! Mistakes rectified!
