Acting Secretary McAdoo has cabled to
Secretary Herbert, who is now In England,
the particulars of the bidding for the con-
struction of the three 11.0OO-ton battle ships
which occurred last Monday, and if the

earnestly for speedy decision, in order
that they may take advantage of the pres
ent favorable rates for structural material

cries. The department is disposed to ac-
cede to the request, although, according
to the terms of the advertisement calling
for proposals, the awards may be delayed
until October Sth next The bids received
have been examined by the board of bu-
reau chiefs and by the law officers Of the
department and have been found to be reg
ular in all essential points. There is no
doubt that the contracts will go to the
Newport News Company, Cramp & Sons
and the Union iron works of San Fran
CISCO The department is particularly pleas
ed to make such a disposition of the work.

policy of encouraging the maintenance of

country, very valuable consideration in

Of 81 ,3oO,oOO was made at the last session

Secretary Carlisle Will Make as Many
Speeches as Possible.

Speeches as Possible.
Secretary Carlisle has privately announc-
ed his purpose Of taking part in the pend
ing political campaign and of making as
many addresses on the issues of the day
as the pressing nature of his public duties
will permit. Although his engagements
may not be confined to Kentucky. 1t Is more
than probable that he will not have time to
extend his labors in the interests of sound
money much beyond the boundaries Of his
native state He is considered as one of
the ablest exponents of an honest finan-
cial system, and his active championship
of sound money will, 1t Is claimed, prove a
tower of strength to the cause. Beyond
agreeing to make several speeches on the
financial question in Kentucky he has not
yet arranged his itinerary.
He is in receipt of urgent appeals to speak
in various parts of the country, but will
be compelled to decline most Of them from
lack of time.
A telegram was received at the Treasury
Department today from Secretary Car
Isle, saying that he and Mrs. Carlisle left
Bar Harbor this morning for a visit to the
President and Mrs. Cleveland at Gray
Gables on their way back to this city. AL
though not SO stated, it Is believed that
Secretary and Mrs. Carlisle Will arrive in
Washington early next week.
