Bids for Carrying Troops Home
From the Philippines.

Bids for the transportation of the Span
ish prisoners in the Philippine Islands 10
Spain, which were advertised for some
time ago. were opened at New York and
San Francisco yesterday, and the results
were Immediately telegraphed to the War
Department.
The lowest bid received at New York
was from the bordeaux Steamship Com
pany, ard was SO per capita for officers
and men. The Hamburg Union Line bid
$50 for privstes and Sija for officers. The
Campauia Transatlantica. which has al
ready contracted TO convey 2.000 prisoners
10 Spain at the lowest bid of any steam
boat company, asked S2l5 for officers and
$T3.I5 for enlisted men.
At San Francisco TWO bids were submit
ted, both being higher than the lowest at
New York. Macondry & Go. offered 10
transport the officers for S2l5 per capita
and the men for Sllo.50. The bid OF W. B.
Wiltshire was $3.50 first class, $175 second
class and s12i third class.
AS soon as the bids reached the War
Department they were submitted to the
Secretary of War and the Quartermaster
General. The contract will probably be
awarded within few days, inasmuch as
the department desires 10 expedite the re-
patriation of the-Spanish troops now in the
Philippines.

Old Hailstones-in-His- Belly, Medi-
cine Bear, Big Foot. Heap Much
Smoke. Black Horn. Yellow Thunder
and Charge the Grow, seven big Sioux
Indians, were at the white house the
other morning to pay their respects
To the great father, as the president is
known among the aborigines. The sew
ell massive specimens of mankind.
clothed in their native garb-mocas-
sins, bearskins. paint and feathers and
long chains of beads swinging around
their necks-had business with the
great father. else they would have
postponed their day for paying their
respects until the heavy snow, which
gives Washington n Klondlke appear
ance. melts away. Their business here
is to look after claims arising under
the treaty of 1872 which gave Jim
Hill's Great Northern railway Alright
OF way through the Sioux reservation.
The president was most kind in his
treatment OF the red men. and as Hail
stones spoke fluent English the presi-
dent was much interested in the call
ers.
Later in the day the Sioux visited
the capitol and occupied seats in the
senate gallery. and listened to Senator
Pettigrew. chairman of the Indian af.
fairs committee, urge the passage OF
the Indian appropriation bill. There
are several items in this bill In which
the Sioux were interested. and they
were anxious to see that they goi
through the senate. Hailstones craned
his neck looking for Senator Platt He
had heard much about the New York
chief, and without knowing Just who
he was he thought that Plat might
possibly be one OF the Sioux tribe
Senator Plat soon came into the
chamber, and one OF the capitol guides
who knew the Indians pointed out tn,
New York senator. Hailstones in.
spected him critically from afar, and
said;
"umph, He no Sioux. White man. +"

plants, markets, docks and every other
public service In london belong either
TO private corporations or to the ves-
tries of the several parishes that make
up the city. The future of municipal
undertakings in London Will depend
upon the success of the street railway
enterprise. A general \. manager was
brought from Glasgow, where he had
been running municipal street car lines
for several years with great success,
but nearly all of the employees of the
companies Were re-engaged by the
government and will continue in their
old places.
The street railway company was
financially great success and its last
dividend was 9A per cent. upon capt
tai of S2.OOO,OO0 and six per cent. upon
preference bonds and stocks amount
Ing to $2,250,OOO. 1t claims to have
maintained Its horse cars mt cost of
S1a pence, or IL cents, mile, which
Is said to be unprecedented economy,
although the fares on these roads are
cheaper than anywhere else In the
world. The London companies We're
pioneers in penny fares for short dis
tances. The rates We're not fixed nc-
cording to distance, but between i'm
portant points. On some parts of the
line n passenger could ride two miles
for penny, and at other points,
where the traffic was greater, the same
fare was charged for three-quarters of
mile. 1t Is proposed to continue the
same rates under municipal manage
ment and the same pay roll for the
employees. although the latter have al
ready begun to agltate In favor of in
creased wages.-Chlcago Record.
