| At the Navy department it is emphatically
denied that politics had anything 10 do with
the matter. Commodore Sicard, chief of ordi-
! nance, said to-day that the new ordnance build
ing at the maynard is i'm an advanced state of
construction, but that some delay has been en-
countered by the failure of the contractors to
furnish the roof trusses and frames promptly,
and that portion of the work had to be sus-
pended. As there was nothing else for these
men to do they we're laid Off.
