ia an interview with a reporter for re.
sponsible newspaper that would have
disqualified him from service from any
jury in any state Of the Union. Admir-
al Schley thereupon addressed letter
to the Secretary of the Navy, enclosing
the purported interview with Admiral
nowson, and requested that it be for.
warded to the latter officer for such &C
ton as his sense of honor might indicate
to him. The Secl etary refused. And it
is now the evident and proven purpose
of the department gang to force Admir-
al Schley into a trial where he must be
judged by man who has already ex-
pressed bis deliberate opinion that Schley
is not as competent nor as brave as
Sampson; that he is too hot-headed, and
that at the naval academy Schley had
not been held in as high regard as Longs
brother-in-law
That it looks like jobbery is further
indicated by the fact that Mr.. Howison
remains as dumb as an oyster as to the
interview. He neither admits nor de
MES it; while the newspaper reporter
has made oath that the interview was
genuine. 1t does seem that if Admiral
Howison had spark of manhood in his
composition he would retire from the
court of inquiry at once, without wait.

NO SEWER PROPOSALS.
Not a Single Contractor DESTROYS of
Doing Sewer Work for the City.
Bids for Paving Opened.

When Director of Public Works
Roch" and Recorder Conncl opened
bids fol a large amount Of city work
yesterday, they found that there was
not single bid for the four sewers for
which proposals had been asked.
The sewers for which proposals. had
been advertised for were those to he
constructed on Wyoming avenue and
on Larch street. and those to be known
as Section a and Section G. of the Sew
cnteenth sewer district. All of these
are fairly large jobs, the cost of the
largest being about $1,000.
The fact that when bids for sewers
were opened some few weeks ago II
was found that there were only four
bidders for six sewers and that now
not single contractor has put i'm a
bid is a subject for most serious con-
sderation by those who have the best
interests of the city at heart.
Director Roche is still of the same
opinion as he has been. namely, that
the Carelessness which has prevailed
in the past in the collection of sewer
assessments and the failure on the
part of the city to renew liens i'm many
instances has caused the sewer con-
tractors to be fearful of taking con-
tracts.
This is a very serious matter" said
he last night Something must he done
and at once. We cannot afford TO have
our work of public improvement, which
is practically in its beginning nipped
i'm the bud"
The director said that a thorough
n t1 nd ho MT I,n
contractors of the municipal lien law
recently passed, providing for the
making out of liens i'm the contractors
name. may cause change in existing
conditions, but he did not express him
self in very confident tone when he
made the statement.
Recorder Connell and Director of
Public Works John T.. Roche yesterday
opened bids for the construction of a
vitrified brick pavement on South Main
avenue, below oxford street. for the
construction of a brick pavement on
McKenna court. between Mulberry and
Vine streets, and for the laying of
sidewalks on certain streets.
The bids for the South Main avenue

and Tile company, $2.Oi per square
yard and $3.50 per square yard under

Dale Sl.9S per square yard and $2.2J

rested yesterday. at the instance of
Mrs. Mary Narney, of 106 West Market
street, on the charge of burglary. They
were arrested by Detective william
Clifford, who took them before Magis-
trate Howe for n h lTing.
Il will be remembered that the house
occupied by the Narneys, ON North
Main avenue, opposite the Auditorium,
was burglarized last October, during
the progress of Republican mass
meeting. About S400 in money and 5000
worth of iewelry We're taken by the
burglars, who apparently had a good
knowledge of the house.
The Nolpe brothers We're working
about the premises at the time, doing
garden work, and We're suspected be-
cause one of them is claimed to have
fiourished Il roll of money shortly after
the burglary. Evidence was adduCed
yesterday at the hearing that not only
had money been flourlshCd, but that
| some of the tewelry had been seen in
| one of the mems possession.
Magistrate Howe decided that the
evidence warranted him in holding both
prisoners under 81 600 bail each, and he
did so, Neither could find a bondsman.
| and both We're accordingly committed
TO the county jail.
