QUEEN OF THE CRUISERS.
NO. Is TO HAvE a SPEED OF %
KNOTS AN ECUR.

Proposals for the Vessels Construc-
ton Opened at the Navy Depart
meut-7he Bath Iron Works of
Maine Under-bid Their two Iron
Rivals-Their Bid S2,eeo,ooo-1hs
Limit $2,75o,ooo.
WASHINGTON, June Proposals were
opened at the navy department to-day for
the construction of the protected cruiser No.
IS, provision for which was made by the
last congress. The vessel will be similar to
cruiser No. II, equipped with one 6-inch,
two 6>inch and great number of smaller
rapid fire and machine guns. She is de-
signed to make in an emergency the extra
ordinary speed Of twenty-five knots per
hour, which would enable her to capture
the swiftest of the ocean greyhounds, OF to
escape from the pursuit of any more
formidable craft.
HOW IT is TO BE OBTAINED.
This high speed is TO ba obtained through
three sets of triple expansion engines,
driving a three-screw propeller, an arrange
ment which is also expected to result in
more economical cruising at low speed than
is possible with the devices at present in
use. Vessels Of this type will be a novelty
In naval construction, and their perform
ance is awaited with interest and some
anxiety by experts in the navy Depart
ment.
sHIPBUILDERs REPRESENTED.
A number of representatives Of ship
building firms were present when the bids
were opened, as well as members Of different
branches Of the naval service. The bids
were as follows: William Cramp & Sons of
Philadelphia S2.745 900; Union Iron
Works of San Francisco 50, ,793, 900;
Bath Iron Works Of Bath, Me-,
S2,690000. The result was complete sur
prise to nearly every one present, as the
Bath Iron Works is comparatively new
competitor in the construction of steel ves-
sells and has had no naval work, except
small cruisers now building.
SAN FRANCISCO HANDICAPPED.
1t was not believed that the San Frau
figure, as the departments advertisement
did not contain any provision for allowance
for difference in freight charges on the con-
struction material, as has been the case in
some contracts, but the Philadelphia
firm is already building cruiser
No. IA sister ship-for $2,725, 900
and as the same patterns could be used for
the two vessels it was expected that they
would be able to underbid every other con-
cern. The limit of cost fixed for the cruiser
in the act of congress is 81, 750, coo, and the
contractor may earn a bonus of $50, 900 for
every quarter knot excess of speed above
twenty-one knots per hour.

Valuable Business Blocks and Dwell
ingS in Ashes.
Los ANGELES, CAL, June 1.-One Of the
most disastrous fires in the history of Los
Angeles occurred yesterday. Flames were
noticed coming out Of the rear Of the Nor
ton block, four-story frame building on
the corner Of Seventh and Hill streets.
An alarm was at once turned in, but before
the engines could reach the spot the
fire had gained such headway that
it was impossible to conquer it. In less than
half an hour the block was entirely de-
stroyed. A small frame cottage back of the
Norton block was also destroyed, and an
adjacent block on Hill street and two
story dwelling were partly burned.
SWEPT EASTWARD.
The flames then swept east on Seventh
street, totally destroying two-story frame
dwelling and the Church of the Trinity, a
handsome editice. Further progress of the
flames was checked at this point by a
vacant lot. A high wind prevailed at
the time, but after vigorous work of
about an hour the flames were gotten under
control. The Lanekersheim fats at the
corner of Seventh street and Broadway
were badly damaged and the inmates had a
narrow escape from death. The total loss
is about 500, ,000 on which there is COM
paratively little insurance.

fell, burying two firemen, though none of
them are thought to be fatally injured The

was the work..of an incendiary. The loss on

A Deputy Supervisor Issues Certifl-
Gates With Great Rapidity.
CHARLESTON, S. c., June 1.---Gov. Till
man delivered a coup de grace in the dis
puted supervisor matter to-day. He sent
down a special messenger who arrived here
at l o'clock this morning and handed to
George w. Williams his appointment as
deputy supervisor Of registration. MIR.
Williams accepted, and this morning at 8
o'clock opened the books of registration at
market hall, having first posted notice on
Mr.. Cantwelrs office door telling voters to
come TO him (Williams) for their certifi-
Gates. Mr.. Cantwell through his attorneys
made demand on the commissioners for
the books, but no attention was paid TO
him.
WORKED LIKE LIGHTNING.
Mr. Williams took half dozen clerks
from his bank and started to issue reKistra-
tion certificates with lightning-like rapid
ity. The clerks were assisted by several
negro federal supervisors, who filled out
the tickets and passed them to Mr.. WILL
Jams for his signature. The negroes soon
got wind Of the matter and ffocked to Mar
ket hall in great numbers. Certificates
were issued rapidly. and by 3 O'clock, the
hour for closing, is Is thought that between
500 and 600 bad been registered. The
names OF many were taKen Win the under-
standing that the certificates will be issued
them later. Very few white men could
get in.
CANTwELL OPENS HIS OFFICE.
About o'clock Mr.. Cantwell opened his
Office and took down the names Of about
fifty white voters who applied to him, but
he could not issue certificates, not having
the books. At the rate at which Deputy
Supervisor Williams registered voters to-
day it will take but very short while to
wipe out the present white majority of
registered voters. 1t has not yet transpired
what legal steps, If any, will be taken by
Mr.. Cantwell, who still claims to hold the
office of supe rvisor.
