WASHINGTON, Aug. 22.-The acting sec
rotary of the navy to-day opened the pro-
Dosals for constructing the five steel cruis-
ers. Three are to be of about two thou
sand tons and two to be of 3,UJU uOns us
placement. Each of the two classes of
vessels is to cost 100000 and 81 ,000, 900 re
spectively, and to be completed within two
years.
Every provision is made in the blank con
tracts TO guard the government against
loss, and, profting by past experience, the
contractor is made responsible for the sue
cess of the vessel, regardless of minor
faults of omission i'll the designs furnished
by the department.
The bids were opened in the presence Of
Acting Secretary Walker Judge Advocate
General Remy Chief Engineer Melville
and Naval Constructor Hichborn. the last
named officers having been largely instru-
mental in designing the new vessels and
their machinery Among the shipbuilding
firms represented by officers or agents at
the opening were the following: Harlan &
Hollingsworth company, Wilmington; the
Quintard iron works, New 0rk: the Union
iron works, San Francisco and the Atlanta
works, of South Boston. The bids were as
follows:
The Bath iron works, of Maine, propose
20 build the three 2,000-ton vessels for
$7S0,00 each, but with the addition OF SIX
months to the advertised time = two
Years; Crompton & Sons, of Philadelphia,
k0ropose to build the same vessels at
1876, 600 each. The same firm offered to
build the two 3,OOO-ton vessels at 81 ,225, 900
each. The result of the bidding was dis
appointment TO naval officers, as the appro-
Driation is limited by the act of Congress to
300, 900 each in case of the2 ,000-ton vessels,
and 81, III, 900 for each of the 3,OO0-ton YES
sels Of course none of the bids can be &C
cepted.
The next move viii be to re-advertise, but
not much confidence is felt in the result and
it is probable that as in the case of the
cruiser Norwark, Congress will be asked to
increase the limit of cost of the vessels.
Still another course open to the secretary is
to build the vessels at the navy yards.
Naval Constructor Hitchborn, who is act
ing as chief of the construction corps, re
cards the failure to secure suitable bids as
an indication that the constructors are
fArofiting by their experience and calls at
tention to the fact that nearly all OF the

A STRANGE CRAFT.
Young Mackay VIII AstonIsh His Oxford
Chums with Novel Yacht

Chums with Novel Yacht.
GSrecial to THE HERALD-Examiner Dispatch J
NEW York, Aug. % John w. Mackay,
jr., son of the well known bonanza king,
has been having great time for some days
past in designing, with the aid of Mr..
Merton De Castro, vice-president of the
Commercial Cable company a yacht of
somewhat novel kind. Young Mr.. Mackay
is at present in his second year at Oxford
university, and he wants to take back with
him something that will astonish his col
lege friends He is having built good
sized Yacht whose propelling power will be
naptha. The craft is to be fitted up inside
with the greatest luxury, and as it is de-
Signed for the entertainment of quite a
good sized party of guests, it will be the
larg est vessel propelled by naptha that has
ever been constructed.
Dislike for lighting by electricity is al
most a mania with Mr. Mackay, jr, and his
new yacht will be lighted throughout by
gas generated by an ingenious device on
board The kitchen will be fitted up with
the latest improvements in American gas
ranges, with which Mr. Mackay declares
the highest results in the culinary art are
to be achieved. The prospective master of
many millions declares that no such craft
as his would be built in any other country
but America, and although his education
has been acquired entirely in effete Europe,
he is fully impressed with the prominence
of things American,

A RAILROAD HOLDUP.
Chairman Cooley on Long and
Short Haul Rates.
EDISON BANQUETTED IN PARIS.
An Antl-Bell Telephone Witness Dead-The
Charleston's Second Trial = Bud
Renaud's Case.

CHICAGO, Aug. 22.=The warning north
western railroads to-day ran against an un-
expected snag in the shape of a little COM
munication from Chairman Cooley, OF the
interstate commission, who informed them
that when circumstances justify the
making of rates which ignore the long and
short haul clause, the rates actually made
must be reasonable when compared one
with the other. The great disparity now
made since the recent rigorous cut between
the long and short haul rates on the lines
between Chicago and st. Paul would OF
itself make the latter illegal and indefensi-
BILE If maintained, it will compel the
commission to make an order reducing the
short haul to the proper proportion.
Judge Cooley called the attention OF the
managers TO the fact that when they eX-
acted excessive short haul rates they ren-
dered themselves liable in every instance
to an action on behalf of any person who
had been compelled to pay the same This
notification said he, must be recognized
and managers must act accordingly" as
it is decision reached after their eXaml-
nation of the facts in the case. Tnls
notice was brought about by the recent
cut by the Burlington and Northern OF
about 15 per cent. in rates from chicago
to st. Paul on through business from the
east, and consequently threatened the de-
moralization of al the northwestern
local and Missouri river rates.
At the afternoon session of the Western
Freight association, Chairman Faithorne
communicated Judge Cooley's notification
to the managers. Immediately General
Manager Egan, of the Chicago, st. Paul &
Kansas City road, announced that in order
to be in accord with the law he would apply
the proportionate rates on local traffic be-
ginning at once This was a surprise to
the other roads, as none of them, of course,
can do business at such rates, except at a
severe loss Without taking united action,
the meeting adjourned until tomorrow.

lists have placed an ordor for seventy steel
oil tank cars with well-known iron firm
here to-day, the contract price being sS7,
600. These parties have built large refin-
cries at San Diego and intend going heavily

recently acquired large holdings in various
oil fields in this section and also in the

shipped in tanks and cases to the Sand
WITCH islands and the east. The company
has its own plate mill and like the Stand
