MONSTER GUNS FOR
NEW BATTLESHIPS
Bids for TweIve-Inch Pieces Show
Great Reduction in the
Price of Steel.

Bids have been received by Capt.
Charles O'Neil, chief of the Bureau of
Ordnance, for twelve 12-inch guns of the
1898 model for the battleships Maine. Mis-
souri, and Ohio. These guns will have a
much larger chamber than the Pinch
gun now in service, which will permit
them to hold larger charge of smokeless
powder. and thus impart a higher velocity
to their S50-pound projectiles. 1t is ex-
pected that the velocity will reach about
$500 feet per second.
One bid was submitted by the Bethlehem
Company al Is cents pound, and the
other by the Midvale Steel Company at
10 cents. The authorities We're very much
gratified at these figures, 1t was pointed
out that a few years ago gun steel could
not be bought for less than So cents a
pound.
Representatives of the Carnegie and
Bethlehem Steel Companies have been in
conference with Capt O'Neil respecting
the price they should charge the Gov
ernment for Krupp armor plate. but no
agreement has been reached. They will
submit a written proposition, which Sec
retary Long will forward to the Senate

MR.. CROKER'S ABSENCE
PUZZLES HIS FRIENDS
J WHEREABOUTS UNKNOWN
Expected to Meet Democratic Club
Members Saturday Nigh, But
Yet TarPies In the West.

New York, Nov. 29.-Democratic leaders
are beginning to manifest some uneasi-
ness over the prolonged absence of Rich
ard Croker. AS soon as he departed
for Chicago the Democratic Club was de-
serted, as 1t usually is in his absence, but
the information was passed along the
line last Saturday that he was to return
es from the West indicated that he had
left. apparently homeward bound.
There was large and expectant crowd
in the club on; Saturday night, and even
Ing dress was conspicuous in honor of the
leaders return, Much disappointment
was expressed when he failed to put III
an appearance. Some of the more faith
full waited until Sunday morning in the
hope that he might come in late train,
and they reluctantly departed only when
the last possibility had vanished.
Mr.. Croker's most intimate friends in
the club announced that he wou surely
be back Sunday night, and once more the
club members turned out in force to re-
ceiye him. Again they We're doomed to
disappointment Train after train came
In from the West, but none of them
brought MIR. Croker. Anxiety was eX-
pressed in regard TO his safety. and men
who are credited with being in all his Sc
crets quieted this by pointing out that
Mr.. Croker Is an experienced traveller and
that nothing could have happened TO him
For the third time the throug gathered
last night, still in evening dress, and for
the third time Mr.. Croker failed TO ap-
pear. The prediction of Mr. Freedman
that he would certainly reach the club
today failed to give the usual satisfac-
ton, but all efforts TO learn where Mr.
Croker was, and what he was doing. were
unavailing. His whereabouts remained
an impenetrable mystery to the club, and
depression took the place of mirth.
In the course of the inquiry which was
carried on by the anxious ones the fact
was brought out that, before election
Mr.. croker had planned a trip to South
ern California. 1t was his idea 10 hire
two parlor cars for the journey, and to
take a selection of the leaders with him
Mr van Wyck's defeat caused this pro-
Ject to be abandoned, but some of the
leaders insisted that Mr.. Croker had gone
to the Pacific Slope. Indeed. IL became
known that he had signified his intention
OF going there on the day before his de-
parture.
Other leaders inclined to the belief that
Mr. Croker had gone to Arizona, but no
proof was brought forward in support of
thls assertion except that the climate
there agreed with him.
Ihere was even a starting rumor that
'he Iammany chief had arrived, after all
on saturday, and that he was concealed
