Capt Stanton, governor OF the Naval asylum az
Philadelphia, has been interviewed In relation 20
the charges against the late Capt. DE Long In per.
scouting his fellow officers made by Dr. f. Collins.
OF Minneapolis. Capt Stanton asserts, from his
personal knowledge OF Capt, De Long, that the ac-
cus1t1on is without ground, and views the letter
as the act OF crazy man, excited by the melan-
choy fate or his brother. He says that the charge
that Bartlett, seaman is kept in Siberia because
he Is in possession OF valuable evidence is well
known 10 be untrue. Bartlett was given liberty
TO return home, but he requested TO be allowed 70
remain and assist in the search for the missing
members OF the Inflated expedition. When the
man tcomes home he WILL no doubt, throw some
light on the subject In reference 10 the charge
that on Melville finding the bodies OF the De Long
party he used the most blasphemous and scandae
lous language, Capt. stanton says: "This Ger.
talnly Is the work OF q crazy man. No man with
common sense would say such thing. Just

Arctic regions, with their comrades dead, cursing
and disappearing the remains OF one OF their mum.

THE HITCH IN AWARDING TIE CONTRACT FOR
DREDGING.
Major Hams, in charge of the Potomac fats i'm
provements, was at his desk amid pile or papers
when a STAR reporter called upon him to day
MAJOR" quoth the STAR man, 'has contract yet
been awarded for the dredging for which bids
were opened few days ago?"
1T has not,' was the reply. 'F urther, do not
care TO be reportedO even talk about It, The matter
is only In my hands, and that is all can say am
sorry unantcipated delays intervene, because 1
am anxious to have the work pushed. 1t may be
as late as Tuesday next before there is a decision
or matters now being passed upon"
Although Major Hams is reticent on the
subject, 1t is almost certain that he has recon-
mended that the bid Of Contractor Adams (who
is the lowest bidder) for dredging be not &C
cepted. He is extremely anxious not to make a
contract, the terms of which might not be COM
piled with, and for such cause the work be pro-
vok1ngly delayed.
1t is believed that he has advised the chief en-
gineer of the army that in his opinion Contractor
Adams cannot do the work with any profit to him
SELF and satisfaction to the government at the
price stipulated in his bid. Between the bid OF Mr.
Adams and the next lowest bidder there is a diff
ference OF $4,000 and between Mr.. Adams nd the
his recommendation to the chief Of engineers
touching the work made sometime ago. Major
Hams In rough estimate put the cost of the
dredging at So cents per cubic yard, upon informa-
ton furnished him. but he gave it as his personal
opinion that 1t could not be done at that price.
In delaying the work, to make himself
Adams to do it, Major Hams proceeds with no
disposition to Withhold 1t from the lowest bidder,
II ne can make 1t appear that he means to do 1t.
which NAV not be- nr"rmed and thus baye NO
trouble OF making new start The Major wants
10 10 90 Inc work not only expeditlously but
