BIDS ON THE BATTLEsHIPs.
Secretary Herbert Anxious to Have
One Built on the Pacific.

One Built on the Pacific.
Washington, Dec. 16.-Secretary Herbert
has decided to give the Union Iron Works
of San Francisco an opportunity to Sc
cure one of the two battleships-No. 5 and
No. 6-for which bids were recently opened
at the navy department, through the me-
dunn of modifying its bids, made at that
time for constructing one or both of the
vessels on the plans prepared by the de-
partment.
In the bid for building the battleships
on the department idea, the Newport
News Shipbuilding Company was the low
est bidder, agreeing to construct one for
s., 100000, or both for $3.50, 600 each. The
Union Iron Works was the next lowest in
this class. with a bid of s.. 74O 600 for one
or $2,640000 each, if given the contract for
both. The highest bidder was the Cramp
Company of Philadelphia, with 81, $4,000
for one vessel, or 81, 10000 piece, if given
both contracts.
The naval board on construction has
been examining all the plans and bids sub
mitted, giving careful and particular at
tention to the proposition of the Cramp
Company to not only construct two bat
tleships on their own plans, and also fur
nish the armor. but in addition to con-
struct another similar vessel without ar
NOR, and all for the amount appropriated
by congress for the purpose, namely S.
coo, 900.
The San Francisco and Philadelphia con-
Germs also submitted bids for the con-
struction of two vessels on plans prepar-
ed by themselves. These bids were lower
than those submitted by these firms in
accordance with the departments speci-
fications, but neither was as low as that
of the Newport News Company-the only
one it made-for carrying out the depart
ment's ideas without change.
Secretary Herbert is anxious to have
one of the batteships go 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 reduce its bid bas-
ed on the governments plans, indicates
his willingness in this respect 1t also
will secure one of the vessels, and that
the proposal of the Messrs. Cramps with
respect to the construction of three ships
has been rejected.

THE JOKE ON THE OTHER FELLOW.
A Practical Joker Puts I'D s12 for a
Little Fun.

There was a little futter of excitement
at Pooler Sunday. A party of four
young men left Savannah in the morning
with their dogs and guns for a days
ramble through the woods in the direc-
ton of Pooler.
A friend of the party in Savannah,
thinking to play a practical joke upon
the hunters, telephOned to POoler a full
description of and the alleged crime
charged against the men, with instruc-
JiOns to arrest them as soon as they
came in sight. Warrants were at once
issued as requested, and as soon as the
men were nabbed the city marshal tele-
phOned for Instructions. The practical
joker ordered their release. This didn' I
suit the judge, however, as he demanded
So for the costs Of warrants, etc.
The joker said that's all right; let
them go; it's all a joke
No, il amt all right. 1 will not re-
lease them till the costs are satisfied"
Very WELL" said the joker, come to
Savannah on Monday morning and I'll
make il all right"
Yesterday the joker had the exquisite
pleasure of paying So for his Sunday 5
fun, and he's that much short tor
Christmas. He has learned, too, not to
tamper with the law in joke.
