Contracts Let for Severat new

WASHINGTON, November 20. = The
Secretary of the Navy to-day accepted
the following bids for the construction
of new cruisers and gunboats: Cruiser
No. 2, The Charleston, Union Iron
Works of San Francisco, at $l,Ol7. 500;
cruiser No. 3, The Baltimore, Cramp &
Sons, Of Philadelphia, $l,325,0 gun.
boat No. 2. the Columbia Iron Works
and Dry Dock Company, of Balti-
more. at S247, 900. In the case of gum
boat No. l, no decision has yet been
reached as between the bid Of Reed l.
Sons and the bid of Cramp & Sons. AL
though the Union Iron Works off San
Francisco, put in the lowest bid in
cruiser No. /, the Newark, yet as the
figures exceeded the maximum amount
fixed in the Appropriation Bill, the Sec
retary was unable to accept their bid.
He will probably refer the matter to
Congress, with statement of facts, and
recommend that the appropriation for
the construction of cruiser No. be in
creased, or that the government be au-
thorized to build the vessel at one OF the
navy yards.

O'Brien. In an interview to-day Mr..
0'Brien said he was of the opinion that
the Executives would defeat themselves
in tryiI 8 to stem the tide of opinion in
favor of q reduction of rents, even Gen.
Butler having declared in favor of re-
duced rents. The government, he said,
were playing the game of bankrupt
landlords whose estates were so deeply
mortgaged that it was impossible for
them to meet their engagements unless
they exacted full rents. He feared the
governments action would lead to
troublous times, but he was confident
that the English people would see the
justice OF the claims of the Irish peasan-
try aud that repressive police would
speedily produce revulsion of feeling
in England against the authors Of that
policy.
