THB VACANT CHAIR. When the little family circle is broken and we sit sadly looking upon the vacant chair, we think of the things that perhaps we might have done to keep the loved one with us.

Senate Rejected Proposition for the Government to Erect an 'Armor Flate Factory. QUESTION IS STILL IN THE AIR Senator Chandler's Sensational Charges. The Government Alleged to Have Been .Defrauded in Adoption of the Harveyized Armor. By Telegraph to the Morning Star. WASHiuaxON, May 12. By a close vote the Senate rejected the proposi tion to erect..: without reference to the price at which the 'government could secure armor plate for its warships, an armor plate factory 'The vote upon the direct proposition was. 22 to 24, and subsidiary amendments were rejected by about the same vote.

Senator Spooner (Wisconsin) and Mr. Hale (Maine; maae notaDie speecnes, uepre cating the war talk, yesterday by Sen tnr Trio-A - Mananp.hiisAtts. Neither Senator was fearful that we might be- v nm i a. " ; Al come mvoivea in a auncuiiy wiw Germany on account of the Monroe doctrine, the latter declaring that the United - States and Germany were hmind tftcrftther in indissoluble ties. and the former that, our .relations with the German empire were never more cordial than they are to-day. Senator Hoar protested against the "wretched imperialistic business," an the talk that this nation had only re cently become a "world power' as serting that she has been a world power since the war of 1820. Harveyized Armor. The Naval Appropriation bill being under consideration, Senator Chand ler declared that after the adoption of the harveyized armor by this govern ment, Commander Folger resigned and joined the Harvey Company, at a salary of $5,000 with an addition of $20,000 of stock in the company. He then went to Europe in the interests of the company. , Senator Chandler said that at the conclusion of Secretary of the Navy Tracey's term, he became immediately counsel for the Harvey company in defence of the Harvey patents. Continuing, Senator Chandler de clared : "I believe and, I am prepared to show that the Harvey patent was a fraud and that it was imposed upon the patent office and upon the government by subterfuge if not by dishonesty. When the government refused to pay more than $300 a ton for Harvey armor the combined armor manufac turers of the world endeavored to ob tain by subterfuge or by injustice another armor. I do not believe that the Erupp armor which they offered us has any merit whatever, except that it is hardened deeper than the harveyized armor by the well known means of hardening steel by means of carbonization. There is no patent about it, and there is no secret about it that is worth a dollar in any court. Germany and the Monroe Doctrine. Senator Spooner, Wisconsin, chal lenged the statement of Senator, Lodge made yesterday, that Germany was threatening the Monroe doctrine. He said he had it on the highest au thority that there was never a time when more cordial relations existed between the United States and Germa ny than to-day. In conclusion Senator Spooner ar gued that inasmuch as the "country is defenceless and at the mercy of two armor companies" the United States ought to erect its own armor plant without delay. The present situation he declared, was intolerable. In closine the debate. Senator Hale. in charge of the bill, after speaking of the government's inability to comletep ships without armor said. "l don't believe that a great need or necessity for an increase of the navy stalks before us because of any appre hension of hostilities, either now or in the future, with the Empire of Ger many. That great country is tied to us by indissoluble bonds in the name of 10,000,000 people of German ex traction, who to-day make 'some of our best citizen I have no fear that any danger awaits us from German intervention." V Then, at 3 o'clock, by special order, debate ceased and the voting began upon the armor question. The amendment offered by Senator Penrose to pay $545 for the armor for the Maine, Ohio and Missouri was de feated. Senator Pettus, Alabama, offered an amendment making it mandatory upon, tne secretary oi tne JNavy to erect an armor plate plant at once at a cost not to exceed $4,000,000. The amendment was defeated 22 to 24. The Tillman amendment striking out the committee's proposition to pay $445 per ton for armor, fixing the maximum price at $300 per ton except for armor for the battleships Missouri, Maine and Ohio for which 545 was to be paid, and making it mandatory upon the Secretary of the Navy to ing from the vote on Mr. Pettus' amendment. Senator Tillman then renewed his amendment three times, each time raising slightly the limit of the cost of tne armor. Jfiacn time the amendment was defeated. Senator Chandler offered an amend ment precisely similar to those pro posed by Senator Tillman. The vote on the amendment indicated the ab sence of a quorum, the vote being 17 yeas to 23 nays. ' A call of the Senate was demandod and a quorum was developed. , A vote on Senator Chandler's amend ment was taken again, resulting, ayes, 17, noes 22 not a quorum. . Jt is evident, said Senator Hale, that we cannot dispose of this ques tion to-day. We are at the mercy of the minority." On his motion the Senate then at 4:15 p. m. adjourned. - FIRE AT NORFOLK.

District Court gainst Sreet Car Strikers ; at Kansas City, Mo. . By Telegraph to the Morning star -Kansas Citt.Ho., May 12. The Federal authorities found alleged cause for interference this evening in the strike organized this morning by the union employes of the Metropoli tan Street Railway Company. - Judge W. 0. Hook, of Leavenworth, Kan., sitting in Kansas City, issued irom tn United States District court to-night an injunction that ia more absolute and sweeping in its terms than any in junction ever. Dei ore secureo in mis district in a contention between labor and capital. ' The injunction is made absolute for a week, the matter being set for a hear ing on Saturday next, and if its re strictions shall : be observed by the strikers the Metropolitan Company has its fight won, for the strikers' hands are tied for seven days, and in the meantime the Metropolitan Com pany can go about the reorganization of its disrupted forces. The injunction is predicated upon the fact that several of the persons complained against as threatening the interests of the company are residents of other States, and the further fact that the strikers threaten to prevent the company from carrying out its contract with the United States government to transport the city mail carriers to and from their routes. The injunction restrains the persons named and all others from, in anv manner." directly or indirectly. stopping or interfering with the run ning of cars on the lines oi tne metro politan company; enjoins them from harrassine. assaulting or in any man ner interfering with any person who may be in tne employ or tne company, as he goes to or from his work or as he is engaged in the operation of a street car; enjoins Union men and all others from picketing or patrolling the car houses, stopping places, stations, tracks, or annroaches thereto, or from loitering in large numbers in or about any of the places named, or making loud or boisterous noises in the vi cimty thereof for tne purpose or in timidating or interfering with the company's employes. The minnction even goes lurtner than this and enjoins any concerted action to cause any act or any annoy ance which will assist in stopping the operation of the' cars or interfering in any wise with an employe in moving a car which may carry a mail carrier, or a messenger may wish to ride. In addition to the ponce ana tne ae puty marshals, sworn in to-day, a force of United states marsnais will oe on hand to interfere . in case the in junction is ignored and there is every possibility that the strikers will not desist in their efforts to bring out the men who have so far failed to join them. . The strike was ordered early to-day on all the street car lines of the Met ropolitan Kail way Company. About 500 of the 1,500 conductors, motormen and gripmen of this city and Kansas Citv. Kas.. responded. Up to a late hour to-night there had been no disturbance at any point, and the company was maintaining a fairly efficient service.

BRITISH TROOPS OCCUPY KROONSTAD S ' . .,",.... :. :.. . r. : Lord Roberts Now in Almost Complete . Possession of the Orange Free State. MOVEMENTS OF THE BOERS. Botha's Forces Retiring Northward A Small Force Threatening Roberts' . Communication Held fn Check ' by den, Brabant. By Oable to the Morning star London, May 13, 4 A. M.4-The sit uation at the seat of war in South Africa is as satisfactory from the Brit ish yibw point as the most sanguine could have hoped a week ago. The occupation of Eroonstad, especially,7 places the whole of the Orange Free State in British possession. It is evi dent from Lord Roberts' last dispatch that the Free staters are scattering to their homes, while the Transvaalers have gone northward, declining to flcht lonerer in tne urange u ree state. What little resistance the former still are likelv to make, seems to be center ing at Lindley, whither President Stevn has transferred nis government. It is evident that the strateerv of Lord Roberts, and the rapidity of his advance nave bewildered and dis- hearented the Boers, as their resistance since the British reached Zand river has been slieht. The only point where they seriously attempted to check the advance seems to nave been on the British right, where they defended with some vigor two kopjes, which eventually were carried by the East Lancashire and Sussexes, the Boers finally retreating, leav mg a group- of gunners dead on the top of one- of the hills. The only point ia the Free State where the Boers seem in any force. except at Lord Roberts' front, is on the southeast, where Grenerals Kundle, Campbell and Brabant are holding them in cnecs west of Jficssburg and Ladybrand and are gradually pushing them back-, as well as ettectually de feating; all their efforts to break through and threaten Lord Roberta communications. There is no further news regarding the advance of the re lief column to Mafekin?. but it is noa sible that Lord Roberts' successes will result in forcing the Boers to raise the siege. i- ' Recruits for the Boers. : London, May 13. A special dis patch from Liorenzo Maraues says: So called ambulance men arrive on every steamer, and they are hurried to Pretoria and sent to join comman does in the neld. There has been further trouble with the Irish brigade - at Johannesburg. The Boer government recently ex pelled an Irish priest named Delacey. who was accused of having British sympathies. The brigade protested vainly, and sixty men resigned from tne service in disgust. British Occupy Kroonstad. London, May 12. The War Office has received the following dispatch from Ueneral Roberts: "Kroonstad, Man 1M, 2 P. if.

"President Steyn fled last evening. after vainly endeavoring to persuade tne burghers to continue opposing us. The Transvaalers said they would no longer fight on Orange Free State soil. and made off to the Vaal river. Many of tne Dree Btaters nave gone to their homes.

The American pa vilion at the Exposition was formally turned over to the authorities and pub lic this afternoon. Thejauguration took place in the press of embassy and consulate officials. number of high French functionaries, foreign diplomats ana commissioners ana. such a concourse of American citizens that many .who were provided with tickets were unable to gain admittance to the building. Before the hour set for the ceremony the crowd became so dense that orders were given to the police to keep the people at a respectful distance from the doors. - The French officers adhered so strictly to the letter of their instruc tions that even guests holding invita tion tickets were not allowed to pass. Considerable confusion resulted from this cause and the United States am dassador. General Horace Porter, with his party, found their passage barred until an omciai perceiving mm irom the buildine hastened to meet him. and the ambassador' party scrambled through. i Brilliant Decorations, i The interior of the pavilion was brightly decorated ; with American flags and tri color bunting, with which the balconies were draped, while from the summit of the dome around the golden eagle flew the stars and stripes and the French flag. The balconies were occupied exclusively by invited guests, .while on the floor of the build ine a double line of American guards,' with white Summer helmets.formed an aisle through which the official party passed from tne main : entrance to tne spot where the presentation took place. .Behind the guards the Americans who gained admittance stood and witnessed the proceedings. The ceremony of transferring tne pavilion was quite simple, consisting of an address by Ferdinand w.i Peck. commissioner of the United States. banding over tne pavilion to M. Alfred Picard as the head of the Exposition, and the latters response in accepting the ceremony. Souoa's band provided music and the selections played were composed purely of American airs, except the "Marseillaise." Formal Ceremonies. Mr. Peck reached the pavilion about 2 o'clock to await the arrival tf M. Picard. who. escorted by B. D. Wood ward, assistant United States commis sioner, entered the Exposition gate at the Invalided Bridge at 2. SO o'clock and proceeded immediately along the yuai d'Ursay to the entrance of the American building, which faces the Seme. After a brief glance at the equestrian statue of Washington, which guards the portals of the American national pavilion, M. Picard ascended the steps leading to the door. Here Mr. feck stood, surrounded bv mem bers of the United States commission. and as he welcomed the French com missioner general, Sousa's band struck up the "Marseillaise." All the spectators at once uncovered. and amid the strains of the French hymn M. Picard conducted Mr. Peck to the centre of the rotunda. The audi ence greeted the conclusion of the air witn cheers, which M. Picard acknow ledged. No time was lost in pro ceeding with the ceremony, Mr. Peck delivering his address and M.
