ESPECIAL TO THE sENr1NEL.l

CHICAGO, June IA Washington special
says: Last Winter Congress appropri-
ated 81, 0OO, 900 for repairing four old
monitors. To-day Secretary Chandler
divided the sum into four equal parts, and
awarded contracts to John Roach OF Ches-
ter, VIM. Crump Of Philadelphis, the
Hol~lingsworths of Wilmington and Secor
OF San Francisco to make the necessary
repairs. These men were the favored
contractors under the reign Of Robson.
It is said the money first appropriated is
inadequate. and that $4,000 more will
- required.
The Ordnance Department has accepted
the proposal Of an Eastern firm for the
conversion Of so 10-inch smooth-bore
Rodman guns into 8-inch muzzle- loading
rifles, at : cost Of $780, 600.
When Thompson was Secretary he per-
suaded Congress to appropriate $3.50, 600
to establish q coaling station at Chenquin
Bay, Central America. This caused much
criticism, as it was said to be a step in the
direction of enforcing the Monroe doc
trine. The English and French people
affected to descry q menace to their inter-
ests on the Isthmus. Thompson went out
of the Cabinet and into the Panama Canal
Company before the station was estab-
lished. Recently Secretary Chandler dis
covered that if something was not done
before the close Of the fiscal year the
money would have to be conveyed back
into the Treasury. For some time Free
linghuysen opposed the contamination Of
the project, but finally Chandler carried
his point, and the coaling station is to BIO
established. Now the French and Eng
lish press will be called put again.
