A Movement to Postpone Considera.

ARMOR PLATE INSPECTION.
Secretary Herbert Decides to Augment
the Present Naval Corps of Inspectors
by the Appointment of a. Num-
ber of Expert Civilians.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—Thero is a move-
ment on foot inthe senate committee on
foreign relations to have the calling up of
the Cuban resolution, reported just prior
to the adjournment for the holiday recess,
postponed until the matter can be recon-
sidered by ‘the committeeat its meeting on
Wednesday next.
When the resolution was reported to
the senate, it was agreed by the committee
that the resolution should be called up
immediately upon the reconvening of the
senate. The mOro ardent supporters of the
resolution had been anxious to have the
question up for immediate consideration
before adjournment and yielded only when
the more conservative members had agreed
to report the resolution with the under-
standing that no effort should be made to
call it up until after the. recess; It is
agreed now, however, that, as the senate
does not meet until Wednesday and as
Wednesday is the regular day for the week-
ly meetings of the 2’committce, there will
be but one day’s delay at most unless the
committee should agree to rescind its
former action.
The movement for recession from the
agreement for immediate consideration is
participated in by both the opponents of
any recognition of Cuba under existing
circumstances and the more conservative
friends of the Cuban cause. The latter
take the position that the present time is
not opportune for consideration of the sub-
utivo prerogative has been raised, which,
it is claimed, would result in driving from
the support of the resolution many sena-
tors who are not unfriendly to the cause
of the insurgents.
They also find that it is doubtful wheth-
er a day could be secured for consideration
in the house if it should pass the senate.
They hold that the defeat of the resolution
in the senate or its failing to pass both
houses after it is once taken up for consid-
eration would be misunderstood and place
this country in a false light both in Spain
and Cuba. Hence they will go into the
committee meeting, if they succeed in
having the subject postponed in the senate
until the meeting is hold, with a. purpose
to urge still further delay. They will ad.
vocate postponement until the way seems
clearer than at ”present for successful of-
fort.
Armor Plate Inspection.
WASHINGTON, Jan. 4.—Secretary Her-
bert has practically decided to increase the
present naval corps of inspectors of steel
used in the construction of naval vessels
, of the United States by the appointment
of ’11 number of expert civilians. At a con-
ference held by the secretary with Assist-
ant Secretary MoAdoo, Naval Contractor
Hiohborn and a. numbereof bureau chiefs
the subject was fully discussed, and it was
the opinion of all present that the situa-
tion demanded this ac;.;...
‘It was represmt the number of
naval inspectors now available for this
duty was insufi‘icient for the needs of .tho
service. They were constantly being moved
about from one duty to a more urgent one,
and so were unable to give that close and
continuous attention to the process of steel
manufacture that is absolutely required to
insure the highest standard 'of excellence.
Captain McCormick and Chief Engineer
Smith of the Norfolk yard are expected to
arrive here tomorrow, when the details
preliminary to the appointments will be
completed. 3
It is thought that the civil service com-
mission will bo called on to furnish at
once about 12 or 15 men who by rigid ex-
aminations have proved themselves experts
in this line, and when secured they prob-
ably will be distributed ameng the works
now furnishing the steel and cast iron used
in the construction of our naval vessels.
Some of the experts will be sent to Bethle-
hem and others, t the Carnegie, the Phe-
nlx, the Thorlow and the Midvale works,

shows the debt on Dec. 31,1ess cash in the
treasury, to have been $992, 929,582, a de-
crease for the month of $2,839,577. This
decrease is accounted for by an increase of

the result of the recent sale of first mort-
gage Pacific railroad bonds belonging to

M’KINLEY .AT WINDBRMERE.
The President Elect and His Wife the
Guests of Mark A. Hanna.
CLEVELAND, Jan. 4.—Major and Mrs.
McKinley are now the guests of Mark A.
Hanna at Winder-mere, his Lakewood resi-
idence, where the president elect was. yes-
terday visited by your correspondent.
While courteous to all newspaper Iron.
Mr. McKinley has since his election re-
frained from talking for publication. Ask-
ed what his immediate plans were, he
merely said: “I came up here to rest as
much as possible. It is a good place for
that.” ’ '
Much remains to be done by the presi-
dent elect between now and March 4, and
to the fact that he has constantly been in-
terrupted by callers at Canton. The loca-
tion of Windermere, several miles west of
the city, on the shore of the lake, and the
barriers which Mr. and Mrs. Hanna are
able to throw around him, will give him
practically all $.16 privacy he desires for
work and consultation. It is expected that
many men eminent in national affairs will
be at Windermere during the week.

HARRIsBCHm Jan. 4. -'1 he senatorial
fight Is on in dead éaffiést, and both the
Wanamaker and Penroso headquarters are
almost continually crowded with legis-
lators.
Mr. Penroso has the assistanca of Sena-
tor Quay and a host of his followers. Mr.
Wanamaker’s headquarters are presided
over by Frank Willing Leach, who has
managed his campaign. Mr. Leach is be-
ing assisted by David Martin of Philadel-
phia. The street in front of the Wana-
maker hotel is spanned by a massive arch
ablaze with electric lights. The words
“Pennsylvania s choice for United States
senator, Hon. John Wanamaker,” occupy
all the availdblo space on the arch. The
entire front of the Penroso hotel is utilized
for a. mammoth electric sign which do-
claros “Philadelphia’s choice for United
States senator, Hon. Boies Penroso.”
Both sides are claiming victory, and
Senator Quay sticks to his declaration
that Penroso has 150 votes, 22 more than
the number necessary to elect.
Mr. Quay said last night that the senato-
rial caucus would be held Tuesday night.
The Wanamaker people say they are in-
different about the time of the oauous, al-
though Mr. Leach thinks there is no no-
cessity for holding it so long In advance of

Twice within three days Annie Fra-
zer has been in the alcoholic ward at
Bellevue Hospital, and will probably
remain there for several days.
The hospital books give her age as
twenty-nine years. Her home is in— a
brown stone mansion in East Thirty-
second street, where she lives with a
brother and sister-in-law, who are
prostrated over her downfall. The
woman’s father is 'a Presbyterian
clergyman in Scotland. She speaks
several languages, and has taught in
France, Russia, Germany and Eng-
land.
_ Agood story is told of Mrs. Brad-
ley Martin, one of the leaders in New
York society. It is said that shortly af-
ter her daughter married the Earl of
Craven she was. at lunch, or dinner,
and the man next to her, apropos of
“dissatisfaction,” which was the topic
of conversation, paid her the compli-
ment of being the most fortunate wo-
man in the world, having a devoted
husband, power to gratify every ma-
terial wish and a family of handsome
children. “And,” he added, “now you
have the satisfaction of seeing your
daughter happily married to the man
of her choice. Indeed, you are a most
fortunate woman.” “Yes,” responded

Dr. Seth Low, president of .Colum-
bia College, has given his check for
$5,000 to the Kindergarten Association.
This is Dr. Low’s salary as a member,
of the Rapid Transit- Commission. The
letter which accompanies the check
states that Dr. Low wishes to make
this gift of the greatest possible use to
all the people of the city, and to bear
testimony particularly to the value of
the kindergarten system to New York’s
little children. _
Another sign that the horse must go
is seen in the recent conference of di-
rectors of the _Metropolitan Traction
Company at which it was decided to
adopt mechanical motive power in the
and Sixth and Eighth avenue lines of
the system. It was not definitely de-
cided whether the underground trolley
should be used or compressed air mo-
tors, but President Vreeland said that
the weight of opinion was in favor of
the trolley. Work will begin as early
as possible in the spring.

At times there is a pleasant gleam
