NO BONDS NEEDED.

Controller BOWLER Tells Secretary
Herbert How He Can Ruy Stationery.
The Secretary of the Navy recently in
formed the controller of the treasury that
he has advertised, as required by law, for
proposals for stationery for the depart
ment, and that in some cases the contracts
have been awarded for single items and
involve very small sums, one as small as
$l.9S. He asked whether in case of small
contracts with responsible dealers he will
be authorized to waive the bond for faith
full performance usually required of all
contractors.
In his reply Controller Bowler says: Sec
tions 371S and 3719 of the R. S., relating
to the manner of entering into contracts
for supplies for the navy, do not, in my
opinion, apply to purchases of stationery
for the Navy Department, and while it has
been the usual custom in all the depart
ments to require a bond from contractors,
there is no specific provision of law rem
dering this additional precaution essential
to the completeness of the contract OR to
the validity of the payments made under 1t.
l have the honor, therefore, to advise you
that If, in the exercise OF your discretion
in the matter, you enter into contracts
without requiring the contractors to give
bond. for the supplies of stationery needed
for your department during the current
fiscal year, payments made hereunder will
be credited in the accounts of the disburs-
ing officer"

JUSTICE STRONG ILL,
| Critically Ill Mt Lake Minneyvasku-!An
Effort to Bring Him Home.

Effort to Bring Him Home.
Information has been received in this city
of the critical illness of Justice William
Strong, retired, United States Supreme
Court, who has been spending the heated
last Tuesday it is thought by the members
of his family that Justice Strong has been
sinking rapidly, but it is his hope that he
may be able to return to his home in this
city, and 1t is the intention to make an
effort to bring him here. 1t is feared how
ever, that his death may occur before the
removal can be made.
1t is not matter of surprise to the
friends of Judge Strong to hear of his ill
less. a few weeks before he left the city
he had the misfortune to stumble and fall
while going down the back stairs in his
residence, 1411 H street northwest.
He escaped without the fracture of any
bones, but 1t was feared at the time tha
on account of his advanced age it would
be difficult for him to recover from the
shock.
He was confined to his bed, but recover
ed sufficiently to leave the city. He left
here on the Fourth of July, going first TO
Spring Lake, N. j., and then to the Cats
kill mountains, where he now is. He was
accompanied by his daughters. His daugh-
ter-in-iaw has returned to the city and is
getting the family residence in readiness
for the judge in case he sholld be brought
here.
Although Judge Strong is in his eighty
eighth year, yet he has Shown but few
evidences of the weakness of advanced
years. He is slightly deaf, which is. per
haps, his only infirnlity. He has wide
circle of acquaintance here, and is man
who commands the respect and esteem of
all who know him.

Naval Engineers Order ed TO Aaccr-

Chief Engineer Perry and Passed AS
sistant Engineer North haYe been ordered
to proceed to Buffalo, n. ~, and sail on
the 18th instant on the new lake steamer
Northwest. They will make the round trip
from Buffalo to Duluth. The point uf in
terest in the trip is that this vessel is
equipped with the French Belleville boilers
of the tubulous type, and thes purpose is to
ascertain the fitness of th,se boilers for
naval uses.
An American tubulous boiler has been
heretofore thoroughly tested on the coast
defense ship Monterey with most salts
factory results, and Chief Engineer Mel
vile says these boilers have never given
trouble for single day. Indeed, it is said
at the Navy Department, that the Ameri-
can type, so far as tested, has given re-
suits far exceeding those shown by the
French boilers, and as they are much
lighter than@the ordinary shell boilers they
are destined to play an important part in
the economy Of our new men-of-war.

/ & L EP H ON E WIRE S
President Bryan Says He Has Only One
Pole on G Street.
This is Merely n Distributing Point
Extent to- Which the Wires Are
Placed Underground.

In discussing the question Of overhead
wires on G street with a Star reporter to-
day President Bryan OF the Chesapeake
and Potomac Telephone Company made. the
statement that his company has only one
pole of overhead wires on G street be-
tween 9th and 18th streets, and that pole
is not used by the telephone company as a
carrying pole for wires, but merely as a
distributing point, from which wires radi-
ate to different sections. He said the pole
In question Is located on the street because
there Is no alley in that square upon which
to place it.
Mr.. Bryan said that at this point a num-
ber Of telephone wires are carried from
the main Office in an underground trench,
running up the pole in a cable and at the
top of the pole, high above the surrounding
buildings, branching off in different direc-
tions by single wires.
How the Pole Is Used.
The other wires on this pole belong to the
Western Union Telegraph Company, the
use of the pole being extended to that COM
pany. Mr.. Bryan added that in every Sec
ton of the city where the telephone COM
pany has an overhead carrying pole it is
used. without cost to the city, by the police
and fire alarm service of the city. He said
the presence of this distributing pole at
cessity, that it could be moved to another
spot In the immediate neighborhood, but
could not be dispensed with in a practical
manner. He said it has been admitted by
every engineer in charge of the District
that at certain points in the business CEN
ters of the city distributing poles are
necessary in connection with the under
ground system.
Small Portion of Wires Overhead.
Mr. Bryan said that in the business -por-
tion of the city only very small proper
ton OF the telephone wires are overhead.
The company has been extending it's un-
derground system every year. and now,
within radius of one and one-half miles
Of the main office, there are very few
overhead telephone wires remaining. There
Is one heavy string on l. street, but the
company is willing to put them under
ground If assurances can be received of
necessary pole extensions in outlying sec
tions Of the city where underground con-
struction would be impracticable on ac-
count Of the small remuneration from sub
scribers. Mr. Bryan said that as matter
of fact the company Is now able to use
only So per cent of it's investment in un-
derground extension.

pErREL,s OPPORTUNE ARRIVAL.
Report From Consul General Jerni-
San.


The State Department has not called upon
the Secretary of the Navy for war vessels
to assist in protecting the missions but 1t
Is known at both departments that the
Petrol, on her recent voyage up the Yanstse
river, assisted materially in maintaining
quiet.
There has been received az the State De-
partment report from Consul General
Iernigan, in which he quotes from one OF
the French fathers at Wuhu, saying that
the arrival of the Petrol at Wuhu was
providential saving many lives and pre-
venting anticipated trouble.
British Consul Ford confirms the report,
and says that had 1t not been for the
American gunboat the foreigners at Wuhu
would have suffered in the riots.
The Petrol is the only vessel of the
Asiatic squadron which can 60 up the river
any considerable distance, the others being
of too great drausht. The Patrel on her
last voyage went to Hankow, 600 miles
above Shanghai. This would not bring the
vessel to the immediate scene of the first
disturbances, but it is believed that if a
vessel were sent up the river It would have
a quieting effect upon the rioters.
To Protect American Interests.
Acting Secretary McAdoo today sent for
the LIST of vessels on the Asiatic station,
with their positions, and will consider NOV
ing them so as to better protect American
interests. The Detroit is at Shanghai, at
the mouth of the Yangtse river, but it
would be useless for her to attempt to as
cend the Yargtse. The Petrol, the lightest
of the fleet is at Yokohama, a long dis
tance awsy.
There is no disposition to interfere with

THE CRUISER ATLANTA.

Prospective OverhaulinE That VIII
Practically Make Her New Ship.
The Navy Department has determined to
give the cruiser Atlanta thorough over
hauling next winter, if Congress can be
induced to appropriate the necessary funds.
1t will cost about 100000 to do this, but if
the plans in contemplation are carried out
the old Atlanta will be practically new
ship when she emerges from the hands of
the workmen. She will be given new boil
ers; perhaps some of tham of the tubulous
type, new triple expansion engines, and
twin screws, instead of the single screw
she now carries. The result will be to
make the vessel a siXte en-knot ship. where
she is now capable of only thirteen; to in
crease her horse power from 5000 to 5000,
and, in addition, to increase her coal ca
pacity by at least 100 tons. The changes
will not stop here. however, for the present
battery will give way TO rapid-hre guns of
the most modern type, making the new
Atlanta as good a fighting ship as any Of
her size in the navy.
