BIDS FOR wAksHIP ARMoR.
Material Requisite for the Illinois.
Alabama and Wisconsin.

Alabama and Wisconsin.
Secretary Long will open tomorrow bids
for 1900 tons of armor for the battleships
Illinois. Alabama and Wisconsin 1t is
the expectation of the authorities that but
but two bids will be received, and these
will be submitted by the Carnegie Steel
Company and the Bethlehem Iron Com
pany- The Chicago Steel Works have
been invited to submit proposal, but on
account of the quick deliveries required.
II Is not believed they will be able to ac-
cept the Invitation. This firm has spent
a half million of dollars in improving its
plant In order to manufacture arms for
the Government. but 1t has not yet secured
rolling mills. 1t is stated, and as the
transportation and setting up of these
mills will take some time the authorities
are doubtful If ii will bid.
All the drawings for the armor have
been completed. so that the firms receiv-
Ing the contracts can start to work with
out delay.
1t Is doubtful if the Manly. now at the
New York navy yard. will be of service as
torpedo boat to the Government. This
boat was purchased In England, and
shipped to the United States for use as a
harbor defense torpedo boat. An exami-
nation of the vessel by naval experts has
led to the conclusion that she cannot ac-
commodate a torpedo tube. and consid-
GRAFTON Is now being given to her future
work. She may be attached to the patrol
