ARMOR PLATE,

The bids for supplying the Government
with 5000 ions OF armor plate nnder the
law stpulating that the average cost
should not be more than $500 ton have
reduced the problem to the simple one
OF Government plant for the construc-
tlon OF armor plate or the payment by the
government OF excessively large sums to
private parties.
1he cost OF armor plate was thoroughly
investigated by commission which re-
ported 10 Congress that it would be
profitable to the manufacturers to furnish
plate to the Government for a cost not
exceeding $500 ton. The manufacturers,
however have evidently determined not
TO furnish it for that amount. Only one
OF them made any bid at all on the plate
now required for the battle-ships Ala
bama, Illinois and Wisconsin, and this
one while making two propositions did
not conform in either of them to the re-
quirements Of the law.
One proposition made by the bidder,
the Illinois Steel Company, was an offer
TO furnish plates at S240 ton, on condi-
ton that Congress would award it tue
contract for all the armor-p plate that would
be wanted by the United States Govern
ment for twenty years, provided that it
should not be required TO manufacture
less than 60O0 tons nor more than IL. O0O
tons annually. The other proposition
was that the Government should erect an
arnor-plate plant and lease it to the
illinois Steel Company at nominal
Inquire for ninety-nine years, on which
terms the company would agree to manu-
facture the armor-plate at a reasonable
cost.
1t is conceded that the construction of
plant Tor the manufacture of armor. plate
Is costly and entails a very heavy ex-
penditure of money. As the demand for
such material is limited the profits on
what is made must be very large in order
to pay interest on the capital invested.
These facts were taken into consideration
by the comm ission which reported that
the plate could be made in this country
at cost not exceed ing $500 ton. since
none of the manufacturers are willing to
make it Tor that price the Government
should erect two plants of its own, one on
the Atlantic and the other on the Pacific
coast. 1t would then be inde pendent of
the steel companies and could certainly
manufacture its plate as cheaply as it has
been offered by private bidders at any time
since the construction of the new nayy
began.
The San Francisco call., 1897-04-10
THE FEDERAL BUILDING.

While the Senate is engaged in revising
the tariff the House of Representatives
meets once in three days and then pro-
ceeds to adjourn for another three days,
that being the longest time for which it
can adjourn without the consent of the
Senate. The membe of the House,
therefore, have ample time to go fishing
or to attend to the business of their con-
stituents.
The California members ought not to 60
fishing. They ought 10 camp around the
office of the Treasury Department and that
of the supervising architect and continu-
ally remind those officials that there is in
San Francisco a good site for a new Fed
eraI building and in the treasury al Wash
ington money to pay for it. They can
further inform them that many indus
trious men are out of EN- ployment in San
Francisco. that the business OF the Ma
tional Government requires the new offices
which would be afforded by the building,
and that the need for an early beginning
of the work OF construction is therefore
doubly urgent.
All this will be an old story to the Gov
ernment officials even as it is an old story
to the people of San Francisco. Never
theless it is a story which must be tier
ated and reiterated until action is taken
and the work of construction begun.
Agitation must be insistent and persistent
on this topic. We have tried the expert
ment of waiting in silence for many years,
and for our pains in the practice of that
policy we have gained nothing except the
good which comes from the exercise OF
patience.
In order to capture Richmond Lincoln
advised General Grant "to keep pegglng
away at ii" A similar policy is the one
which We must adopt in our contest for
the new Federal building, and now that
our mem bers of the House of Representa-
lives have nothing elSe to do it is a good
time for them TO keep pegging away at
the Treasury Department until it surren-
ders. We must have the building. We
ought to see work begun on it this summer.

.BOWDOIN MOVES 4 POINT
The Merritt Millions in the J
Federal Supreme
Court
A Motion TO Dismiss the Merritt
Heirs Appeal Will Be- Argued
in May.

There is big legal battle on over the
BowdoIn College case, wherein the nephews
of the late Millionaire Merritt OF Oakland
are struggling hard to get a good share of
the property.
The contest has been on for some years
in the United States Circuit Court, and is
now on appeal to the United States Cir
cult Court of Appeals. Attorneys and
stenographers are busy preparing the
record, which is volum inous already.
Colonel Costigan, clerk of the Circuit
Court, took an inventory of the data in
the case yesterday and found they made
wheelbarrow loads. Stenogra pliers are
still busy, and by the time the recoris
are complete Janitor L. B. Morton of the
Appraisers bui!ding will have task in
removing them to the precincts presided
over by Clerk Moncton of the Cour, of
Appeals.
I'VE have been served with a notice
that an attempt will be made to have our
appeal dismissed on technical grounds"
said Attorney Horace Philbrook yester-
day.
The entire matter will be argued before
the Supreme Court of the United States on
My 3. The contention is that Judge Nc
kenna did not sign the certificate of ap-
peal within. the time prescribed by law
and that the omission is of so grave a
character as to nuilify all the proceedings
Ii the Supreme Court takes the position
assumed by Attorney Hayne the case will
remain as it has already been decided.
