CARNEGIE COMPANY WANTS TO BID.
ACTION TO ENJoIN THE RESTRICTION OF THE
COMPETITION FOR THE EAST RIVER
BRIDGE STEEL WORK


COMPETITION FOR THE EAST RIVER
BRIDGE STEEL WORK.
Application was made to Justice Chase. in the
Supreme Court, yesterday for a temporary In
junction restraining the Commissioners OF the pro-
posed New East River Bridge from opening or ac-
cepting bids for the steel work on the towers and
end spans on February g. advertised. The ap-
plication was made on behalf OF David w. Nc
Comb taxpayer. While Mr.. McComo appears as
the plaintiff in the on the court records II
was admitted by his counsel John l.. Hill, that the
Carnegie Steel Company was tho real mover In the
matter This company, with number Of other big
steel manufacturers wants the specifications as
sent out calling for bids changed so that 1t may
be allowed TO compete for the work
Under the specifications as they have been sent
out and under which bids were to have peen
opened on next Monday. the Carnegie company Is
excluded from competition The specifications limit
the kind OF steel to be used in the construction OF
the towers and end spans to acid open-hearth steel
The Carnegie company manufactures no steer OF
this description. Its chief product like that OF
many of tho other large steel factories Is that OF
basic open-hearth steel.
In the application for the injunction the plaintn
sets forth that on information and belief. the de-
PENDANTS have wrongfully, falsely ana lllegaly as
sumed to limit and have limited the competition
o ne Of Mh is Known as acid
steel Cousion and fraud are also cha charged
for the plaintiff said that according to the best
EXPERTS in the world basic open-hearth steel was
e9raiy as good If not really better for structural
work such in bridges. than acid open hearth I,
steel and that there no good reason why the
competition should be limited to Manufacturers
OF the latter variety. Mr. H!ll read number OF
affdayits made by some Of the most prominent
engineers in the country, including L. l.; Buck;
the engineer 10 the Commission; Professor Burr OF
Columbia and Charles Mcdonald. TO the effect that
basi steel the equa! of acid steel in every re-
spect and that there was no reason why me man man,
ufacturers of basic steel should be exciuded from
competition for the WORK.
"If the present specifications allowed 10
stand urged Mr. Hill. lover twenty OF the biggest
steel manufacturers in the country Will De eN-
cluded from competing.
In opposing the action Assistant Corporation
Counsel Hill said that the charges or colluson ana
fraud contained in the complaint were OUTRAGEOUS,
and that II they made on the street ana IN
the hearing OF the defendants the person who
made them would promptly be knocked down, as
he deserved.
The plaintiff at the close Of the argument asked
that In connection with the injunction referee
be appointed TO take expert testimony as 10 the
merits OF the two kinds OF steel for the purposes
for which they TO be used.
Justice Chase reserved decision.

SPANS RESPONSIBILITY.
WILLIAM MORTON GRINNELL TAKES IS
SUE WITH ROBERT T. LINCOLN.
,,r ARGUES THAT SPAIN is RESPONSIBLE FOR
THE LOSS OF THE MAINE If THE DISASTER
WAS CAUSED BY SPANISH CARE

THE LOSS OF THE MAINE If THE DISASTER
WAS CAUSED BY SPANISH CARE
LEssNEss OR MALICE.
TO the Editor OF The Tribune.
Sir: II Mr. Lincoln was reported correctly in
the press dispatches OF to-day, he makes a
singular error In his statements Of the interna-
,,ona law bearing upon the destruction of the
Maine in Havana Harbor.
He asserts that neither In case OF accident or
the explosion OF mine by a Spanish fanatic
would the Government be responsible.
In the former case Spain would be responsible
unless the accident were made possible by the
negligence OF the officers of the Maine.
In the second Spain would be unques-
,ionabiy responsible. both to the National Gov
eminent and 10 the survivors and the families
of those killed by the explosion.
Mr. Linco!n's statement that "a Government is
N no way responsible for the acts Of private
citizens" is entirely misleading, II not incorrect.
A Government is obliged to afford protection
10 foreigners within its dominion, the same as
that afforded to its citizens That protection
must be efficient and the efficiency is the meas
ure az civilization of a nation. We have both
collected and paid damages this very account
on frequent occasions. and the threats and at
tacks by a civilized nation upon such countries
as Turkey. China, etc. to enforce the payment
Of damages for injury to its citizens wers
based upon the inability OF such a nation 10
nrotect foreigners within its borders.
Spain is bound to protect Americans In Tune
Of peace within its borders or within Its mar
bors. and is responsible for injury to them un-
less such injury was the consequence OF aggres-
sye acts on their part. Its system OF govern
ment its police should be sufficient to insure
order and tranquility and, II unable to DO TINS.
any aggrieved nation would be justified In using
sufficient force to protect It's own citizens ana
N enforce redress. Examples OF this are
numerous and will readily recur to the mino
OF every student of affairs.
In case of the destruction OF the Maine by
fanatic. therefore, Spain is responsible because
n is her duty to prevent fanatics from destroy
ing lives and property In case OF accident. she
IL responsible because II Is her duty to exercise
grsat care TO prevent accidents. Should the
Spanish Government be so weak or careless as
m allow the occurrence of such an accident or
wanton attack. it.1ndoubtedy owes an apology
10 the suffering and Offended nation ana pc
cn,iary damages to the victims OF the disaster
