DUBLIN, October S.-The nationalists have
decided to contest every Irish parliamentary
seat except twelve.
The Roman Catholic bishops of Ireland have
passed resolution condemning acts of violence
and intimidation, and warning their respective
focks against INDUCING in illegal excess. Such
acts they say are certain to bring the anger of
God upon evil-doers and their families, besides
disgracing the Irish people in the eyes of the
civilized world.

Chandler.
Bosrox, July l4.-Hon. W. E. Chandler,
ex-Secretary Of the Navy, has written a
letter to the Journal in reference to the
recent opinion Of Attorney General Gar
land that John Roaeh's contract for build
ing the Dolphin is void; /; that payments to
him are illegal and may berecoyered, and
that the Dolphinmay be seized as security
for repayment.
The ex-Secretary says: This may seem
to be an extraordinary decision, bat it was
not difficult to an Attorney General who,
when so requested wiped out IN amend.
ment TO the United States Constitution
with the utmost promptness. Lawyers,
business men and fair minded citizens
must judge Of the soundness Of his present
position.
Il depends apparently upon the propo-
sition that it was in the essential condi-
ton OF theact Of Congress that the Dol
phin should have Is knots Of sea speed
(which Secretary Whitney says she has
not reached), that the contract omitted
70. require the contractor TO produce
this speed, and the contrary expressly
provided that failure 70 reach 9. 800 horse
power should not prevent the acceptance
Of the ship if the materiab ami work.
manship were good; and that this onis-
sion was . fatal defect and rendered the
contract wholly imperative and void from
the beginning.
The ex-Sscretary then quotes the law
providing for the construction Of the Doll
phin and other vessels which were to have
the highest attainable speed. This was
passed IN August, 1889, and in the Deeem-
Der following the Naval Advisory
Board recommended that the despatch
boat should shave q sea speed
OF fifteen knots" The four vessels were
appropriated fer August 5, 1888, and the
conditions provided were that the con-
tracts should be let TO the lowest bidder,
and should be built in conformity, with
detailed drawings including hull. engine
and boiler, as approved by tho Advisory
Board and the Secretary Of the Navy.
Mr.. Chandler continues: SIN the face
OF these provisions will any sound iurist
or unpreiudiced person, having common
sense, say tina! the Navy Department was
bound to insert in the contracta guaautee
by the contractor that the dispatch boat
should be provided with sea speed Of
fifteen knots, and that the contract would
be null and void without such guarantee.
The idea is preposterous!
The plans for the engines we're designed
and adopted by the Navy Department and
Advisory Board, and the bidders had
nothing TO say about them or 10 do with
them. What right had the Department TO
say to bidders: "YUu shall guarantee
that thess engines which we have de-
signed shall produce $500 horse power,
and shall move q ship fifteen knots In a
gale at sea.
