CLOSE BIDDING ON SHIPS.
The Three New Battleships to Be
Built by Three Firms.

Built by Three Firms.
Washington, Sept. 14.-Remarkably close
bidding on the department plans alone,
and low proposals, considering the finan-
cial agitation, were the features of the
competition closing at the navy depart
ment to-day for the three new battleships
The Newport News, Va, company, the
SCOTS of San Francisco and the Cramps
of Philadelphia winning one ship each
from among the five bidders.
After a certificate from the Washington
postmaster was read at 1920 o'clock, that
no mail addressed to the Secretary OF the
Navy remained in the postotiice at noon'
the following bids were opened:
John H Dialogue & Sons, Camden n.
J.. one battle ship, for 1861, 900.
Bath Iron Works, Bath, Me, one pat
tleship for $2,6S0,0O0
Newport News Shipbuilding and Dry
Dock Company, Newport News va, one
battleship for 50, 600.
Union Iron Work. San Francisco, one
battleship for 50. 67495O.
William Cranap G. Sons Ship and En-
CINE Company, Philadelphia, Pa, one bat
tleship for $2,650,0OO; two battleships Tor
each s265OO0O
1t was noticeable from the opening OF
the first bids that the prices were extreme
Nv low and close, which led one of the
leading builders to remark that there was
less guessing than in former bidding as
people were beginning to find out exact
ly how much work cost, and besides the
condition of business compelled sharp cal
culatiOns.

FALK CLOTHING co.
DEFENDS THE CREMATORY.
Commissioner WiIIink Says II Pro-
duces no OdOrs,

duces no OhOrs.
There was no offensive stencil from the
crematory Saturday night or yesterday
morning, for the reason that the crema-
tory had been shut down and had no OPP
portunty to produce such a stencil. Not
withstanding this fact, a great many COM
planned of the offensive smell which has
permeated the whole city for the last sew
eral days, and which has been generally
charged up to the crematory. Many per-
sons felt called upon yesterday to call
at the office of the commissioner Of public
works or telephone for the purpose of
complaining against the offensive smell.
The crematory has not been in operation
since 6 o'clock Sunday afternoon. Com
missioner Willink was out in the country
Saturday and Sunday. but when he saw
the article in the Morning News telling of
the general complaint against the crema-
tory on account of its noisome stencil he
sent word to Supt. Peck to close down
the plant.
The crematory is a rather tender SUBJ
iect with the commissioner, on account of
the amount of criticism which was di-
rected towards 1t before the recent re-
pairs we're made, when it was in a run
down condition. When the repairs were
completed. and 1t was found to the salts
faction of the commissioner that the
crematory was doing It's work well, he
was in hopes that he had heard the last
of these complaints. Consequently, he
was somewhat rlled when he found that
the crematory was being charged with
the same old misdemeanor.
1T ought to have been plain to every
body" said he, that the bad odor could
not come from the crematory when the
wind was in an opposite direction. Even
when the crematory was out of order
the odor was only brought into the city
when the wind was from the west or
southwest Even then the smell was not
carried over the entire city, but only a
portion of it. This foul smell which had
prevailed during the last few days has
been as bad or worse on Bay street and
the northern end of the city, as in the
southern section. In the worst days of the
crematory the smell was never known to
reach Bay street. The garbage, which is
put into the crematory, is burned to ashes.
There lis only a small amount Of smoke,
which passes through a furnace and out
at the top of the stack. Even II this
smoke were brought into the city with
the fog there is not enough Of 1t to an-
noy the whole city"
Sanitary Inspector Melvin said that 1t
was possible that the foul smell or part
of 1t was due to the guano works east
of the city. An investigation would be
made, he said. for the purpose of ascer-
tanning whether or not this was the case.

No single publication of the silver syn
dictate has attracted so much attention
az a leailet entitled "The Grip of Gold, y
which purports to give quotation from
the London Financial News OF March 10,
1876, expressing the opinion that the
adoption of free coinage of silver in the
United States would be disadvantageous
to England and helpful to the trade and
business OF this country.
Millions OF copies OF this document have
been spread broadcast by the organiza-
ton which is now protesting to be penni-
less and unable to put legitn ate argu-
ments before the people
The article, which is entitled "The Grip
OF Gold, begins as follows: London.
March TO- 1896. The London Financial
News says. The financial situation in
the United States il very serious" IL
then proceeds to say that while the trade
OF the world is now in the hands of Eng.
land, il would not long remain so IL the
United States should adopt the free and
unlimited coinage Of silver, that rates of
interest would fall in this country, bust
ness revive, and the nited States would
capture the trade OF the world. IL closes
by saying: when that issue comes be-
fore the people, England will regret her
apathy and adherence to the single gold
standard"
The absolute ialsity OF the entire state
ment is shown by the following editorial
taken from the London Financial News
of August 13, 1896: 1--WE have received
letters from American CORES
containing what purports to
be editorials from the Financial News,
md which have been reprinted in various
western papers az campaign literature
)ne Omaha paper prints an article stat
ng that it is from the London Financial
Jews, OF March 10. No such article was
yer printed by u.s. and it's whole tenor il
irectly opposed to the view we have
ken of the effect OF free silver in the
nited States. So far from advocating
re silver coinage we have persistently |
,inted out that il spells reputation and
g withdrawal OF all English capital"

made so much noise that the family
awakened. Two OF the boys got after
the man in the dark and, with the aid of
a poker and chair, laid him out on the
floor. Thinking he had stolen some
thing they examined his clothing. but
found nothing. They then fired him out
bodily through the door and he picked
himself up and walked off in a rather
amazed sort OF way. The family is en-

strange actions in the middle OF the night.
