Now War Vessels.

Washington. Sept. -Four firms
offered bida for the three new battle
ships authorized by the last Congress.
The lowest bid Of each for any type
Of one vessel was, as follows: IA E

e2.5s0,0OO; Cramps. $3.50. 400; Union
IDn Works. s2.674O00; Dialogue &
Go. G2.a40.N0O.
Many details of construction will
figure IN the awards. -
The result, Of the bidding for the
construction Of the big b~attleships
authorized by Congress is eninently
satisfactory to the Navy Department.
From the face OF the bids it 10 clear
that the government is going to Sc
cure rnuch more in the matter of
power; and speed than was expected;
th1t the cost is going to be less than
was paid proportiopately for the ILL

that the vegetables consumed by the

He further states that by a little

DESIRE HIM TO REMAIN HERE,
DR.. Hoge's Church Not willing TO Give
the Young Minister Up--Efiorts
Being Made TO Keep Him in
Richmond-Thc Offer He
VIII Receive Will Bc a
Very Tempting One.

1t IS quite likely that Rov. Donald
Guthrie. who for a few months has been
Rev DR.. Hoge assistant at Second Pres
byterian church, will be called 20 the
pastorate Of the First Presbyterian
church. at Baltimore.
He will preach for that congregation
to-day. Mr. Guthrie left here Tor the
Monumental city yesterday morning. Ih'
call has not actually been received, but
Mr. Guthrie had a very strong intimdtion
that he will be asked 10 serve this
church.
The pastorate has been vacant ever
since Rev Or. Jere Wiiherspoon resign
"a TO come to the Grace-Street church,
in this city. Or. Witherspoon Is q hne
preacher and a splendid pastor Since he
left Baltimore unsuccessful efforts nave
been made 20 induce him 10 re-urn.
URGED TO STAY HERE.
Mr.. Guthrie came here from Canada
three or four months ago. His wife
health has not been good for year or
two. and II was thought the Southern
climate would help her The minister
wife is very much improved and It Is
Mr. Guthrie's wish 10 remain in Virginia
or some adjoining state.
The eloquent young preacher Is being
urged by the members Of Or. Hoge's con-
grefgation to stay here They are hold
ing out every sort OF inducement TO him.
AT a meeting OF the church officers last
Wednesday night the subject OF the an
ticipated call to Mr.. Guthrie was fully
discussed and steps were taken looking
TO keeping him here
A FLATfERING CALL.
The call that will come from Baltimore
syill be q most tempting one. The church
Is one of the largest and wealthiest in
that city. A house OF worship costing a
quarter Of a million dollars has been
erected in the fashionable residential por-
tion OF tho city II is paid for. rhe sal
arg OF the pastor IS something like $500
III is a fine field for work.
Mr.. Guthrie Is only twenty-siX years or
age. lie is one OF the most eloquent pull
pit orators in the country. All who have
met him or heard him preach IN this
city are charmed with him DIR. lloge
thinks he IS one OF the most promising
young preachers In the country.
