the Bath Iron Works.

BATH. Me, Feb. 9.-The contract for
United States battleship No Is. to be
named the Georgia was received from
the Navy Department by the Bath Iron
Works yesterday afternoon. The contract
price is s., $50, geo The papers were signed
by the officers of the company and re-
turned to Washington.
President E. W. Hyde and Superintend-
ent John S Hyde. for the works, were in
Portland yesterday examining the various
Sirep for osta hlishiEs L-@.oh The big
plant of the John p Lowell Arms Com
pany III South Portland was looked over.
The Lowell plant covers several acres and
is directly across the haTbor from Port
land. The buildings are comparatively
new and are filled with shafting for ma
chine shop.
While there is not as much water as
would be desired by the shipbuilding con-
ccSn. little dredging would easily rem
6dy things. The business of the Bath Iron
Works has grown to such an extent that
it is necessary to enlarge the plant, but
as no desirable site can be secured here
it is necessary to look for one elsewhere.

wood. Bell, and Grant Not to Out
rank other Generals.

The Senate Committee on Military Az
fairs has ordered favorable reports on the
nomination of General Miles to be lieu
tenant general and on nine of the twelve
nominations for brigadier generals. The
remaining three appointments for the lat
ter grade have been held up owing 10 op-
position both in the committee and in
the Senate. to the relative positions on
that grade to which they have been named
The President has been notified through
Secretary Root that they will not be con-
firmed unless placed at the foot of the
fifteen major generals authorized by the
.rmy Reorganization act.
The opposition to all three is based on
practically the same ground-that the pro-
motion over others in the grade is unfair
Gen. Leonard Wood, for instance, while
holding a commission in the volunteer
army is No. so in the list of captains in
the Regular Army and his promotion
jumps him over the heads of sos officers.
Col J. Franklin Bell is No. 5S5 on the list
OF captains and is jumped 1,032 numbers
to his new rank. The third. Gen. Fred D.
Grant, is now volunteer officer and the
opposition contends his appointment to
the Regular Army is practically from
civil life.
AS sent to the Senate General Wood is
sixth on the list of brigadier generals,
while General Grant and Captain Bell are
respectively eleventh and twelfth.
Three vacancies are yet to be filed and
the directors propose that Generals Wood.
Grant. and Bell shall be assigned to Nos.
49, IA. and 10. Protests also have been
filed with the committee against the nom
nations of Young. Macarthur, and Chat
fee to be major generals on the ground
that General Wade outranks them in
seniority and should precede them in the
list of major generals.
A subcommittee OF the Committee on
Military Affairs will consider the nOmina-
tions tomorrow. reporting afterward to
the full committee.
