WILL CONFER AS TO ARMOR .
Mfdvnle Company's Claim ms Lowest
bidder VIII Receive.
Couside ra ton.

WASHINGTON. Oct lit IL expected
that representatives OF the various arnnor
producing concerns Will be here tomorrow
to confer with Secretary Long concerning
the armor required for the warships now
In course OF construction This armor
amounts to about 5000 tons. for eight
battleshps six armored craeers and three
Noteeted cruisers, and constitutes the
largest amount of the kind ever recon-
mended by the government.
When the first bids were opened II was
found that the Carnegie and Bethlehem
companies had divided the amount OF
armor. each bidding the Same price-sas5
for class A armor and So added for roy
atty. The Midvale Steel Company's bid
was ss3s per ton without charge for roy
atty. but with the condition that consid-
cradle time be given before deliveries be-
gan. All the bids were rejected and new
BIDS were called for, 10 be opened tomor-
row noon.
In the meantime the Midvale company
protested that as the lowest bidder IL
should receive the contracts. Efforts are
now under way 20 adjust the matter so
that the chief aim. that OF securing the
armor at the earliest possible time and
at rea sonable price, may be realized. To
this end the plan OF opening new bids to-
morrow has been given up and instead
there will be a conference to devise means
for an adjustment Of the matter.

by Minister Wus advices several days
ago. Mr., Conger made no reference 10
the condemnatory decree. hence II is in
ferred that IL was not issued when hts
dispatch was sent last Thursday.
The text of these two dispatches Is as
follows:

There has been some question as 70 Yung

but Mr.. Coneers report settles all doubt.
Minister wu already had received an
edict naming Yung Lu as one OF the com
other Chinese circles.
The appointment is not likely TO be
satisfactory to any other of the powers,
as yung Lu has made himself as offensive
as Prince Tuan. He is generalissimo OF
the imperial troops, and is regarded as
mainly responsible for the persistent fight
on the legations during the. crisis The
other commissioners are highly accept
able. Earl ii and Prince Ching are al

Chang's long stay at Tientsin Is exciting
some comment, as he is aware Of the
American instructions to Minister Conger
to open negotiations with him at Picking.
II gives the idea that Earl Ii Is not fully
overcome at Peking, and is awaiting more
positive assurances.
The attention OF the officials OF the navy
Is being called to the report from Tfcntsin
that the United States IL about 20 take
part in naval expedition organising at
Taku for operations against Shanhai-

ago. while hostiiities were In full pro-

the King Of Cambodsa French Indo-
France at the exposition. and who disap-
peared somewhat mysteriously, has been
found In Brussels. A dispatch sent in his

week from MarseIllss as was arranged.
because he has received the French gov

from his father against the French OH
ciais in Cambodia OF which he was the
bearer He adds that the only response
he received was a telegram from his
father ordering him to return. But he
explains that he cannot do so until he
has received the reply Of the French gov
eminent, so he has gone TO Brussels.
The prince denies having any disagree
ment with his father. King Norodom.
