among the people in the village. who are
much prejudiced. both In favor Of the
company and Mr.. Terry.
The firm has been doing business in
what was formerly bowling alley. The
building Is a very unpretentious affair
and has more the appearance of long
shed than anything that would create
such q stir among the postal authorities.
When the plant closed down IS girls were
employed whose principal business was
looking after the correspondence.
The work given by the company for
those answering their advertisements to
do was to assemble artificial flowers.
Each outfit contained material for max
Ing the flowers. The workers were re-
quired to assemble the parts. such as
the leaves, stems and blooms. and to send
the manufactured flowers to the COM
pany.
When the company received the assem-
bled parts the flowers were simply stored
and nothing was done with them. The
plant of the company at the present time
contains many flowers that have been
assembled. 1t has been suggested to the
company to send the flowers to some
wholesale concern.
In conclusion. when Mr. Terry was in
terviewed. he said that in no case had the
firm refused to return the money sent,
but in many cases the firm had sent back
50 cents for the 80 cents forwarded in an
swer to the advertisement.
1t is currently reported that when the
business was first started 5000 was sunk
in advertising without reply being re-
ceived. When the last of the money was
spent. SO many orders were received that
the company could hardly fill them

washington. Sept s.-The board &
naval bureau chiefs which have been
carefully exsininE the large number Il
bids and plans submitted BY ahip
builders for tie construction OF tor
pedo boats and torpedo boat destroy
ers, viii within day or two report q
Acting Secretary Allen plan for dis
tribu1ing Of the awards.
The work has been one Of din,culty
because OF the multiplicity Of plans
and the originality displayed by some
OF the bidders.
The decision arrived at by the board
is to distribute the craft a. follows
among the bidders:
To the. Union Iron Works, San
Francisco. probably three destroyers.
The Maryland Gteei Company. four
or five Destroyer
Neafie & Davy Of Philadelphia. two
or three destroyers.
HaIan & Hoilfngsworth Of Whining
ton. two destrOyers.
Fall River Iron Works. two or three
destroyers.
w. r. Trigg & Company. Richmond,
Va, one or two destroyers and three
or four torpedo boats >,
Bath Irons Works OF Maine. three
or four torpedo boats.
Lawley OF Boston, one or two tor
pedo boats.
Another OF the torpedo boats will
go to either Lewis Nixon of Elizabeth
port. N j.. or to the Herreshofs Of
Bristol
II the department should decide to
further distribute the work, and re-
duce the number of boats awarded to
some of the bidders. the Columbian
Iron Works Of Baltimore, and the Gas
Engine and Power Company Of Morris
Heights. N. Y may each be awarded
one boat.
The board is now about to turn its
attention entirely to a close considers
ton of the bids recently received for
three bat1leships.
So far as the details of these vessels
have only been examined in a hurried
manner. but the examination has made
it appear that the problem of selecting
the best design is going to be much
more difficult than was at first sup
posed. .esis - - DOCS.
The bureau chiefs appear to have
widely different opinions as to the res
pective merits OF the designs and it Is
within the bounds Of possibility that
the department will decide not to make
the awards in accordance with the
lowest bid.
In such case. the Newport News
bid. the lowest. would be thrown out
and two of the three ships would go to
Cramp. the third going to the Union
Iron Works. ~
One element in the board fayors a
rejection of all the bids and the prepa-
ration Of new plans but it is not likely
to prevail.

mittee Visits Colonel Hay,
And Expresses Regret at His Depar-

cst. nay Pledges Himself 70 Strengthen Fra.
israal Amiiy Between Countries.

London, Sept. "a committee OF the
Anglo American League. headed by
its chairman, Mr.. James Bryce, today.
presented United States Ambassador
Hay an address congratulating him
upon his acceptance of the portfolio OF
secretary Of state at Washington. The
address expresses regret at his depar-
ture from this country where you
have discharged the weighty and deli
cate duties of ambassador with such
eminent tact. Judgment and courtesy
as to win the cordial appreciation and
confidence OF the British people"
Continuing the address says:
1T has been your fortune to repre-
sent your country here at time of
exceptional interest. when the war.
now happily ended. gave occasion for
the expression Of the feelings of af-
lection and sympathy towards the
United States which the British peo-
pie have long entertained. But never
before have they been so conspicuous
~ manifested. You carry back the
assurance of the depth and strength
OF these feelings.
The principal that there ought to
be q permanent friendship and cordial
cooperation between the British EN-
pire and the American republic is one
that all parties and all statesmen here
agree in regarding as a fundamental!
principle of British foreign policy and
by 1t the whole people desire that their
government should be guided. We re-
tOice to believe that in your country
corresponding sentiments are enter
tanned and that corresponding prin-
ciple is now largely accepted.
Knowing that no one knows these
convictions more firmly than yourself,
or can express them in clearer or more
felicitious terms. we gladly acknow
ledge the great services you have rem
dered to both nations and console our
selves on your retirement by the re-
Election that your are called to duties
in your own country even wider ia
their scope. graver in their RESPONSE
bility and more important in the re-
suits they may secure"
Col. Hay, in reply, referred to the
qualification he experienced in hear
ing Such words from men so qualified
by experience and character to speak
for the British people, with certainty.
He added:
MY voice has no such sanction as
yours; but l give it for what it is
worth. to assure you that your senti-
ments of kinship and amity are recip-
rocated to the utmost in my country"
The ambassador also said that his
work in England had been made easy
from home and by the frankness and
fairness of Her Majesty's ministers
and of all Englishmen he had come in
contact with. He then said:
''On both sides of the ocean the con-
viction is almost universal that a clear,
cordial and friendly understanding
between Great Britain and the United
States is a necessity of civilization.
shall hold myself signally fortunate
II l am able to do anything to continue
and strengthen the relations of fra
ternal amity between our two nations"
