DRY DOCK BIDS.
Trouble Over Deciding Who Shall Bull,
the Dock at Port Royal.

Trouble Over Deciding Who Shall Build
the Dock at Port Royal.
There is an interesting problem being solved
at the Navy Department. in connection with the
award Of the contract for building dry dock
for the government at the naval station at Port
Royal, SC, for which bids were opened some
days ago. The whole matter hinges upon the
fact that the highest bidder is the only one Of
the lot who has ever built or attempted to
build dry dock. He has had long experience,
his firm, the Simpsons of New York, having
constructed the Norfolk, New York and Phila-
delphia docks for the government, and his bid
OF about s495, ,000-the limit is $500, ,0OO-is
known to be n fair one, judging from what he
has received for his other contracts.
The other bidders, one of whom is a WASH
ington bricklayer and builder, have had, 80 far
as has been ascertained, no experiences in the
line OF constructing water-tight boxes for re-
pairing ships. and, as this is an art that is ex-
tremely delicate. their bids, although consid-
erably lower than Simpsons are being scruti-
nized with great care. It has been predicted
that if the contract should be given to the low
est bidder he would throw it up
and forfeit his guarantee before the work
was half finished The construction Of dry
docks is a business that requires great Skill for
the least flaw OF construction renders one use
less. The Pacific Mail Company had bitter
experience few years ago with q cheap dry
dock. A bid of about 100000 or less was ac-
cepted from an inexperienced firm and the
Of water. Another difficulty in the case
arises from the fact that the most
generally used patents are owned by the Simp-
sons, and they refuse to let them be used by
other firms. The bids were examined by q
board of civil engineers of the navy who have
just submitted their report, which is being ex-
amined by an expert in the bureau Of yards
and docks.

that have become unserviceable in the hands

ing in the north court yard OF the State, War
and Navy building under the direction of Capt.
Martin Thorp, chief of the supply division Of
the War Department The goods went off to
the crowd like hot cakes from the griddle to a
tableful Of hungry men. Mr.. Thomas Bowling
was the glib-tongued individual who urged on
the bidders. The prices that were brought
were fair, and the total proceeds Of the sale
were large to a degree that would have grati-
fed Uncle Sam had he been standing around.
There were old carriages. old carpets. old
rugs, old water coolers, old file cases-in fact
almost everything that appertains to official
life surrounded with tho indefnable atmos-
phere Of steady use The sale was simply the
annual house cleaning Of the department.
Most Of the bidders were secondhand deal

THE NATIONAL GAME
Important Meeting of the American b
Ball Association.

Ball Association.
LOUISVILLE, Ky, Nov. 2i.-Base ball perme-
ated every nook and corner of the Louisville
Hotel last night and this morning, for most of
the magnates were present at the meeting of
the American Association to be held at the
hotel today. The demise of the Players'
League, reported amalgamations and the future
of the association and the national game were
being energetcally discussed by the base-
ballists. All of the clubs are represented by
one or more delegates.
That an effort is to be made TO oust Rocnester
and Syracuse there is little doubt. That Gen.
Brinker of Rochester and Manager Frazer OF
Syracuse have come prepared for the worst
there is also little doubt. IL is thought that
both will be ready to relinquish all connection
with the national game if a satisfactory money
arrangement can be made. Ii is said that the
association is TO give the Athletics name 10 the
Philadelphia Players League Club, which
will be admitted in their stead. The associa-
tion directors will meet at o'clock and the
American Association will hold its meeting an
hour later. Both will be held with closed doors
as usual IL is expected that the association
meeting will continue until late in the after
noon. In the evening the visiting base ball
men will be banqueted by the Louisville club.

Be Contested.
Mr.. Harry Smith, the veteran journal clerk
of the House, is thoroughly well versed in all
sorts of politics and if possblea little better up
on Michigan than any other state. He was
asked today concerning the talk of contest
for MIR. Burrows seat in the next
Congress. 1.-The situation in the Kala-
mazoo CMich.) district is simply
this said Mr.. Smith 'Mr. Burrows has on the
face of the returns plurality of 3i4. The ale
cation is made that the polls were kept open in
two precincts in Cass county after 5 o clock and
that in one case the ballot box was not sealed.
as the law required. 1t is also alleged
that in Van Buren county some
Indians were illegally voted. As to the impor-
tation of negroes from Indiana and the bull
doing Of white democratic voters, that rumor
simply grew out Of a jocular remark of Frank
HasfOrd and there is absolutely nothing in it.
Mr.. Burrows opponent has stated his intention
of not contesting the election on any technical
grounds and there seems nothing else to found
a contest on"
