AUTHORITIES FEAR TROUBLE
At White Earth Reservation Despite Official
Reports to Contrary.

Washington. Oct. 2.-The interior de-
partment authorities fear that the sit
uation in the White Earth Indian re-
servation in Minnesota may be serious,
notwithstanding that official reports
to them state that no trouble is APP
pretended. They base this on press
dispatches, for Acting Secretary of the
interior Ryan has received a dispatch
from Indian Agent Sutherland in
charge of the Indians there, announc-
ing that everything is quiet and that
there is no apprehension of trouble
either on Bear Island or Leech lake.
A dispatch of similar tenor has also
been sent to Indian Inspector Tinker,
located at that point, and the official
report to the war department from the
commander of the department of the
army also expresses the opinion thai
no danger is to be apprehended. The
government will watch matters closely
to prevent trouble.

BATH IRON WORKS
Will Undoubtedly Have One Of New
Monitors to Build.

Washington, Oct. Bids were opened
at the navy department, Saturday. Tor
the construction of four harbor defence
vessels of the monitor type, authorized
by Congress- at an expenditure OF $l,2o0,-
600 for each monitor.
There were some limitations in the act
such, for instance, as that not more than
two of the vessels should be built in one
shipyard, while an allowance OF per
cent was made in favor of the Pacific
coast ship builders in case they made
bids.
The act also provides that the secretary
of the navy shall award the contract to
the Lowest but responsible bidder,
which is unusual, and seems to admit of
most responsible firms.
The act also directed the secretary to

From the face of the bids it would APP
pear that the lowest bidders for the four
vessels were Nixon. Newport News, the
Bath and the Union Iron Works. The
last would seem to be entitled to receive
a monitor even without the allowance of
per cent. which the law provides in the
case of the bidders on the Pacific coast.
This is made possible by the fact that all
of the bidders. including the three who
were lower than the Union Iron Works,
limited their bids to one monitor each.
The bureau chiefs of the navy depart
ment are congratulating themselves shat
the bids are well within the limits t.xed
by Congress. and as there is little oppor
tunity for irregularity in the bids, owing
to the fact that but one set of plans W ere
open, ii is probable that there will BE- 40
difficulty in awarding the contracts.
