such criticism" said Loud sis be-
meath my contempt. The charge is
made that the Postoffice appropriation
bill this year carried S160,000 below the
estimates. / know the officials of the
Postoffice Department back that
charge. but l assert that it is false"
Then you allege falsehood against
the officials Of the department." inter
rupted Quigg.
Let him take it who can bear it, .
responded Loud.
Loud proceeded to affirm that the
Postoffice officials had, contrary TO law,
appointed 2S9 additional carriers, and
created a prospective deficiency OF
100000 He said further that in the
face Of an appropriation of $50, 900 for
incidental expenses, S101 600 had been
spent in six months. Over $4,000 OF
the reported deficiency, he said, be-
longed in that account. He urged
members not to be so carried away by
passion over the possible loss of car
rier or two as to yield the last vestige
of their power OF circumscribing the
acts of the executive branches of the
Government The perpetuity of the
legislative branch of the Government
was involved, he said.
In conclusion, he appealed to members
to let the whole question come up reg
ularly in its time. when. ne said, he
would be ready to discuss the whole
subject. Meantime. he declared that
the service could not pLsibly suffer
until June.

LARGE DRY DOCK.
One to be Built at the Newport
News Ship Yard.

NEW YORK, Jan. 26.-A special to
the Tribune" from Newport News,
Va. saws: Coils p Huntington's tram
was transferred from the station 70
the ship ward here last night When
Mr.. Huntington was asked to state his
intentions regarding the proposition ne
had made to Secretary Long offering
to build a dry dock capable of receiv-
ing the largest ship afloat, he said:
You can say that / will shortly build
the largest and best dry dock IN Amer
lean waters, a basin in which any ship
in he United States or England in the
mercnant marine can be safely docked
and ovarhauled. This dock will be built
at one corner of the ship yard. There
is urgent need of dry dock in which
the vessels of the navy can be repaired
at short notice, and it is such basin
that I propose to build.
What about the reported Armstrong
deal, looking to the purchase of the
ship yards?'
Sir William Armstrong never had
an option on this plant. 1t is true,
however. that l saw him and offered
to sell him an interest in the ship yard.
This deal might have been consum-
mated, but for some sharp traders who
sought to take part in the transaction.
My reason for offering to sell an inter-
est in the plant was to have an ord
nance factory established at Newport
News, and also to extend the yard. al
though it is now one of the largest in
the world.
Il offered to sell Sir William Arm
strong half of the stock, or If he want
ed 10 have the controlling interest, rs
per cent This, / say. was in the in
terest of the yard / would not think
of selling that much of the stock if ]
did not have so much other business
to engage my attention. / cannot state
positively whether or not an ordnance

factory will be located here. / have
not abandoned the idea. however"
While Mr.. Huntington declined tC
make any statement in the matter, the
impression prevails that his visit IL

Pacific Mail Steamship Company is III

for new passenger steamship for tbs
