NEW CRUISERS FOR THE NAVY.
BIDS FOR ARMORED SHIPS INVITED
PLANS FOR PROTECTED VESSELS

Washington, July 19.-The Navy Department
has completed the circular calling for bids for
constructing armored cruisers of the first class.
These will be the largest ships in the Navy the
tonnage being over 14000. The ships will be
enlarged New orlIs, a type found 10 be better
than any other of the armored cruisers. and
lacking only in size-a defect which 1t is pro-
posed to make good In the designs. The
circular calls for bids TO be opened on Decem-
Der S.
The important feature of the protected
cruisers authorized by the last Congress were
agreed upon at a meeting of the Board Of Naval
Chiefs to-day 1t was determined that the
ships shall have twenty-five knots speed, not
exceeding $500 tons displacement, with a ca
pacity for carrying 1900 tons Of coal, and bat
teries consisting Of sixteen 6-inch rapid fire
guns. The twenty-five knot speed was accepted
with some regret by two of the members Of the
Board, who hoped for twenty-three knots for
eign builders having adopted that rate But
the speed provided for is great as is com
patbe with the tonnage determined upon. me
coal capacity is considered good. The battery
Of sixteen 6-inch guns is the most notable feat
Of the new ships, as this gives a single type
of gun. instead Of a diversity in primary ana
secondary batteries and makes practically
circle of these quick firing big guns enVeloplng
the ships. Some features Of the armor are yet
to be settled

GOVERNMENT WINS A BIG SUIT.
CLAIM OF DURKEE HEIRS FOR OVER 1900 900
OF PACIFIC RAILROAD BONDS DISMISSED.

CLAIM OF DURKEE HEIRS FOR OVER s64,0OOOO
OF PACIFIC RAILROAD BONDS DISMISSED.
Charles Durkee. formerly Governor of Utah, against
the United States for certain bonds of the Central
Pacific Railroad Company, valued at S64,6435l2' was
dismissed to-day by Judge Hagner, Of the Supreme
Court Of the District of Columbia, and the applica-
ton for a rule against Secretary Gage to compel
delivery of them the claimants denied.
Judge Hagner said the decision based many
grounds an important of which that Leon
ard BIaisde the complainant, attorney in fact
for the attorneys at law in the case, was not the
proper person to bring suit. He intimated that the
suit should have been brought by the admins
traitors He said it was strange that such great
property should have been carelessly handled
that all trace of 1t should have been lost. He held
that the act creating the Pacific Railroad sinking
fund made 1t discretionary with the Secretary Of
the Treasury what claims should be acted upon
and first settled and that a discretionary act can
not be controlled by a mandamus.
Judge Hagrer. in fixing the hearing OF the case
for to-day. had declined to issue rule against
Secretary Gage to show cause why he should not
deliver the bonds to the claimants, The petition,
read to the Court to-day, says that the disputed
bonds were acquired by Charles Durkee, who died
in 1870; that the bonds then selling at very
low price, and that they are now in the Treasury
Durkee heirs in 1884.
The Government tn its defence asserted that the
petition did not allege who were the heirs at law
and their respective interests did II allege
that the matter a purely ministerial function
The Government contended that the Secretary's
power in the premises is purely discretionary one

IRON TRADE SITUATION.
SOLID BASIS FOR BUSINESS BELIEVED TO HAVE
BEEN REACHED.

Cleveland. July 1s.-"rhe Iron TRACE rev."
o,s that the last week has been without DOUBT ths
r,ost active Of the year in finished material Inc
significant fact established by these TRANSACTIONS Is
Tint q sis has been reached on which BUSINESS
will be done and that the main obstacle for months
has been distrust OF existing prices. ana not sue
an utter drying up of business as some views nH.o
indicated The mills have shown In the contests
OF the last week disposition to put prices where
BUYERS want them, and some rather savage WORK
has been done in the struggle for orders.
In steel bars and in plates contracts have been
taken at figures relatively lower than the lowest
record of three years ago, taking account OF TO-
DAYS cost for fuel. and labor Sellers have had
to forget that any such prices were ever on their
books as were secured with such ease nine and
twelve months ago; the main purpose being to end
the long-drawn run of drblets and deal again IN
considerable blocks. 1t is to be noted, however
that the very low prices are on business which Will
yield early specifications, and mills are not inviting
long contracts on this basis for there is strong
leaning to belief that later In the year higher
prces will prevail for material that for weeks has
gone begging. The business Of the last week has
been well scattered. Construction contracts in the
hands of bridge, boiler. tank and fitting works have
taken a large part OF IL. Agricultural buyers have
made a beginning of contracting. the Chicago
district reporting considerable activity in this d.
rection There signs all hands that buyers
have held off until the last moment. and that the
last week has seen many coming simultaneously
into the market to cover work actually in hand on
which bids have been asked repeatedly in recent
weeks but without the placing OF orders.
The pig iron situation has not shown the hexi-
bility of certain finished lines, in the of re-
adjustment, but also values have shown fur
ther declines in the last week Northern irons yield
ing rapidly than Southern. At the prices now
established it is evident that furnaces will
be put out of blast many of them to stay out
for months. Wage questions arising at num-
Der of furnaces and resistance to the reductions
proposed will facilitate the blowing out process
The July pig iron figures did not show the ex
pected restriction. but the stacks put this
month will make marked change in the showing
by August /.
The market for Bessemer iron remains at
standstil, and there several problems ahead of
the furnacemen. Steel works have yet to take out
a large amount of iron bought at top prices, and
the question of revising these contracts Is up,
also the proposal for the putting out of portion of
the steel companies blast furnaces along with the
merchant furnaces Two LOraIn furnaces have been
closed down. and number of valley furnaces will
probably quit before the end of the month In

CARRYING GOALS TO NEWCASTLE.
PENNSYLVANIA PRODUCT TO BE USED ON ENG
LISH RAILWAYS.

Philadelphia. July 1s.-The first cargo OF Penn
syvania soft coal sent from this city to Lon
don will be taken from here shortly the British
steamer Queenswood which has been chartered for
that purpose II Is said that only other cargoes
have ever been shipped London from this
try and these sent from Norfolk. Unusual
Importance. ii is said in coal circles, attaches to
the present shipment, because the coal is to be
used fuel by English railways, principally the
London and North Western, whose expenses have
been considerably increased OF late by the high
prices they have had to pay for English coal. The
Queenswood's cargo will consist of 1000 tons, for
which she will receive 16 shilings about 80
freight Even these prices, which will make the
coal cost in England something like 81 ton, the
Pennsylvania product is said TO be somewhat cheap
than the native coal. The Queenswood is now
due from England and will load her outward cargo
in time to leave here this month.
