What the Congressional Committee
Are Doing.
The Recent Casting in South Boston
Failure.

BosToN. Oct 29.-The casting of the 81
ton gun at the South Boston Iron Wor KS
was failure. The men, upon stripping the
mould from the gun found that owing to the
UNEQUAL cooling caused by the core having
given way on one side, during the process OF
casting it cracked open, destroying the gun,
which will have to be recast. The case ar
Dor will either be repaired or new one? VIII
be made. This will cause great dlsap-
pointment as well as loss.
WASHINGTON. Oct 29.-The Commission
of the House of Representatives, consisting
of Congressman Randall, Hewitt, Burns,
Crisp, Hiscock, Reed and Phelps, appointed
to report upon the policy to be adopted by
the government to secure supply OF ord
nance and armor plate, has sent circular
letter to the leading manufacturers OF steel
in this country, asking information as to
their willingness to undertake to supply
either the raw material required for the
manufacture of guns, or the guns completely
finished, ready for use. The Commission
calls attention to the recommendation OF she
gun foundry board, that the. government
should establish on its own territory plant
for the fabrication of cannon, and should
contract with private parties to such
amounts as would enable them to supply
from the private industries of the country
the forged and tempered material"
In view of the recommendation, the COM
mission asks to be informed whether steel
manufacturers would be willing to enter INTO
q contract WlUn Lne SOV6THueilt W supply
the material, including the rough boring,
turning and tampering required for guns. Of
the largest calibre, involving the use of in
gots of9steel of the weight of 100 tons, with
a reasonable proportion of ingots of smaller
size. If willing to enter into such contract,
manufacturers are asked to inform the COM
mittee how many tons of steel in the aggre-
gate they would regard as a reasonable
amount to be contracted for, deliverable over
a series of years, to be paid for upon inspec-
tion and delivery.
The Commission also desires to ascertain
whether the manufacturers would be willing
to put up the machinery necessary to COM
plete the guns if the contract for the steel, as
above suggested, should further provide for
the delivery of the guns ready for use. The
latter query may, the Commission says, also
be answered by parties who would not be
willing to engage in the production Of the
raw material, and who might be willing to
undertake to build the guns required by the
government.
The Commission will meet in the city of
New York, at the New York hotel, on Nov.
18th, to consider the answers to this circular,
and will give hearing to any parties who
may desire to present their views in person
on that day, at 3 p. IN.
