BIDS ON BATTLESHRS S
AMENDED AT REQUEST OF NAVY
DEPARTMENT
Each of Three Bidders Takes Contract
to Build q Fast War
Vessel

WASHINGTON, Sept. 12.-The navy
department has arrived at what 1t re-
CARDS as a fair and satisfactory settle
ment of the question of awarding the
contracts for the construction OF the
three battleships. When the bids were
opened it was found that for the fast
ships desired the Newport News COM
pany was the lowest, Cramps next ana
the Union Iron Works Just above al
within the limit Of cost fixed by the
act Of congress. 1t was the original plan
to award the contracts In that order.
But upon examination Of the plans sub
mitted by the bidders 1t was found that
the only thoroughly satisfactory one
was that submitted by Cramp, who had
simply taken the alternative plans sug-
gested by the navy department, which
amounted to lengthening the hull Of the
ships from fifteen to twenty feet In or
der to gain room for the more pawerful
engines required to drive the ship at a
speed Of 18N knots instead OF 10 knots.
as first proposed.
After considering the subject in all
its aspects, the board OF naval bureau
chiefs has hit upon a solution OF the
question. They have invited the New
port News company and the Union Iron
Works to amend their plans 30 as to
make their ships identical to those pro-
posed by Cramps.
Mr.. Scott of the California company
has agreed to do this already, ana the
representatives Of the Newport News
company have verbally agreed to DO the
same, 80 1t Is the understanding that
each Of the companies will be given
contract for one ship.

POSSESSION
The Nation Now Has Troubles at Home
Which Will Require All Her
Attention

CHICAGO, Sept. R.-In regard to the re-
port that the French forces under Major
Marchand had taken possession Of Fashoda
on the Nile, Alfred Arnold, a memSer Of The
British Parliament who Is stopping at the
Auditorium, says:
II do not believe that France will risk
the chance of a shot in the channel for
Fashoda. I do not look for any trouble
over this matter because do no: believe
France has any intention Of claiming
sovereignty over it. I am Of this idea be-
cause the commission which sat In Paris
early In the year fixed the spheres Of
influence of England and France in Africa
decided tha, the Valley of the Nile was SUBJ
jected 20 English rule and that France was
to have no foothold there. If the report is
true 1t will be found that the French mill
tary commander was In Ignorance Of the
findings Of the commission and that as
soon as he understands the situation he
VIII evacuate the town.
England will never consent to France
holding the town. It has sacrificed too
much blood and treasure In the Soudan
to allow the fruits Of the hard won victory
20 be snatched at the moment of triumph.
But France does not want trouble with
England now. IL mas enough On It's nduuS
looking after the internal agitation that
is convulsing their country, although It Is
possible 1t might welcome some issue which
would turn the attention OF the people
from their own troubles. But II a conflict
is forced with England the struggle will
not be in the Soudan. where France has no
force that could hope to stand against
General Kitchener but In the channel.
"England's position in Egypt Is similar
to the position Of the United States with
reference to Cuba. Your country stands
pledged before the world 20 main tain prac-
teal possession Of that island until It
demonstrates is capacity TO manage its
own affairs. 1t might cay the same Of
the Philippines. To turn away from them
row and abandon them 10 the anarchy
which would be certain to follow, would
be a crime agains; civilization, and It is
step which 1 never expect to see this coun-
try take.
"There can be no doubt, however that
this new departure will prove to be most
wise one. Before you can hope to achieve
success, however, you will have to adop:
The civil service system so far as the gov
ernment Of your colonial possessions is con-
cerned."

AS to the origin of the fire, OF the many
versions, the most acceptable IS that
company OF Italians were having blow

carousals threw lighted cigarettes around
carelessly, one Of which ignited some waste
paper near a can of gasoline, which
caused an explosion, and set the building
on fire. Many compliments are paid

Walter and others for the help they are
extending to the unfortunates. The big

mitted to be lacking. This sympathetic
consideration for the afflicted is the only
bright side Of the disaster.

Milton Mines Flooded

MILTON, Sept. 12-Watsr forced Itself
through from the Coleman mine al Angels
Camp last night into the Lightner mine ad-
joining. The Coleman, the property of
James v. Coleman of San Francisco, has
not been worked for about six years and
has filled up with water. In the Lightner
mine, 500 feet deep. owned principally BY
Stockton parties, work has been actively
carried on and the property was being ex-
tensivey developed. A recent survey
showed that the end of the drift in the
Lightner, which was closest to the Coleman
mine, was 113 feet distant and no danger
was apprehended. The water burst through
like a crash of thunder and many thought
1t was an earthquake. The Lghtner is
now flooded to within 12O feet Of the surface.
