Secretary Herbert Wants One to Go to
the Pacific Const.
By Southern Associated Pressl

{By Southern Associated Press)
Washington, Dec. 16.-Secrctary Her
bert has decided to give the Union
iron Works, Of San Francisco, an op-
portunity to secure one of the two bat
tleships Nos. o and 6, for which bids
were recently opened at the Navy De-
partmcnt, through the medium of modi.
lying Its bids, made at that time, for
constructing one or both Of the vessels
on the plans prepared by the depart
ment. In the bid for building the bat
tleshps on the department idea, the
Newport News Ship-buildIng Company
was the lowest bidders agreeing TO
construct one for 1850, 900 or both for
$225O,000 each. The Union Iron Works
was next lowest in this class, with n
bid of 81, 100000 for one or s., ,64O, 900 each
II given the contract for both. The
highest bidder was the Cramp Com
pany, OF Philadelphia, with s., $50 900 for
one vessel OF S2,750.000 apiece IL givcn
both contracts. The Naval Board on
construction has been examining all
the plans and bids submitted, giving
careful and particular attention TO the
proposition of the Cramp Company to
not only construct two battleships on
their own plans and also furnish the
aimor, But In addition to construct am
other similar vessel without nrmor, and
all for the amount appropriated by Con
Gress for the purpose. namely: $4,000,
600. The San Francisco and Philadel-
phtn concerns also submitted bids for
the construction OF two vessels on plans
prepared by themselves. These bids
were lower than those submitted by
these firms in accordance with the de-
partmentS specifications. but neither
was as low as that OF the Newport
News Company-thc only one it made
for carrying out the departments ideas
without change.
Secretary Herbert is anxious to have
one of the battleships so to the Pacific
coast, but he feels that he cannot con-
scientiously accept the proposition of
the Union Iron Works at their present
figure. His decision to give the San
francisco firm an opportunity to re-
ducc its bid based on the Government s
plans indicates his Willingness in this
respect. 1t also shows that the Newport
News Company will secure one OF the
vessels. and that the proposal of the
Messrs. Cramps, with respect to the
construction OF three ships, have been
rejected, r-.--rs--- ~.
