ONLY FOUR BIDDERS.
Contracts viii Co to Newport News. Bath
Works and Neafie & Levy.

Washington, Feb. 4.-Bids for the
construction OF three protected cruisers
were opened ut the navy department.
today.
The attendance OF bidders was neither
as large nor as representative as in the
case of the last opening. 1t is doubt
full If the Cramps or the Union Iron
Works have been unrepresented' before
in any bidding since the birth OF the
new navy" One OF the Moran Bros,
of Seattle. was the solitary representa-
tive of the Pacific coast interests, but
did not bid. There were only four
bids in all.
The first bid opened was that OF the
Newport News Shipbuilding Company.
They offered t. build $500 ton
cruiser with speed OF 90 knots IN 36
months for 50, TAI, 900. The Bath Iron
Works offered to build cruiser of the
same proportions for $2,75O,0OO. The
William K. Trigg Company. OF Rich
mond, offerd to build one cruiser for
$2,7sO, 200, being the limit of cost
fixed by congress, or two cruisers for
SIS, 4SO. 900. The last bid was the
lowest, and was submitted by the
Neafe & Levy Shiphuilding Company,
of Philadelphia. 1t offered to build a
cruiser on the department plan in 36
months for 81, 74O.OOO.
These cruisers are designed to be the
most formidable vessels in the world of
their class. They will resemble close
ly the type of second.class armored
cruisers and might be easily mistaken
for such. The act OF congress author.
izing this class of cruisers states that
the vessels should carry "the most
powerful ordnance for vessels of their
type. and have the highest speed COM
patible with good cruising qualities
and great radius of action" Admiral
Hichborn. chief constructor Of the
navy, who has been foremost in the
preparation OF plans for the building OF
the "new navy" says that in an en-.
gagement the new cruisers would be
able to cope with and prove more than
a match for some of the armored cruis.
ers of foreign navies.
The new vessels are to be named
the st. Louis, the Milwaukee and the
Charleston, the last to continue the
name of the ship wrecked November 2,
1899. in the Philippines.

lieved the fire was caused by al explo-
sion of chemicals in the Woke lac.
tory. He was Informed that watch.
man had gone into the vault in the
cellar with light and that tn, vault
contained the explosives. The chief
added that he did not know what had
become of the Waterman or who he is.
He said the explosion that started the
conflagration might have been caused
by illuminating gas getting into the

ADAMS ON THE BOARD.
Continued from Tenth Page,

street, and south of Thirty-seventh street
BY this arrangement ample provision
will be made, l believe, for all the white
children of the city, and the working con-
ditions of the schools will be much i'm
proved.
AT the last meeting of the Board the
question of providing for two teachers for
the first grade of boys in the High School
as last year was raised, and l submit
the following information upon this point:
Last year there were sixty-eight boys
graduated from the white grammar
schools of the city, and forty-five of this
number entered the High School. This
year ninety-five boys were graduated, and
if we are TO judge of the future condi-
lions by past experience there will be
sixty-three boys 10 enter the first grade
of the High School next October 1 know
of no reason why we may not expect this
proportion to hold good. Should it do so,
we shall still need two teachers for this
grade. No change in the number of teach
ers for the High School, therefore, seems
to be indicated.
''One of the most important duties de-
volving upon the board at this meeting is
the selection of a new principal for the
Thirty-eighth Street School. About
twenty applications have been filed, and
1 believe the board can make wise
choice from them. have read every
application, with all the testimonials,
very carefully, and have the information
concerning each applicant so arranged
and condensed as to enable you very
quickly to narrow the consideration down
20 few applicants and from these to
choose, l trust, the best man for our
schools. 1t is needless for me to empha-
size the Importance of making wise Sc
lection for the principalship of one Of our
schools. The position requires man of
experience, scholarship. culture, dignity,
professional training and good common
sense. 1t Is all important that We sus-
tain the high character of our teaching
force, for the truisrn, AS is the teacher,
so is the school, has as wide an applca-
ton to-day as it ever had.
"At your next meeting. when more time
will be available for this subject, I hope
to present to you some deductions made
from a close study of the years work.
Suffice it now to say. that the results have
been very satisfactory, and that the next
year promises to be the best educationally
in the history of our schools"

RELEASED FROM JAIL.
Unusual Proceeding Before Judge
Norwood in City Court.

NORWOOD IN NtEy tourt-
A rather unusual proceeding took place
in the City Court yesterday before the
Judge Norwood, as result of which
James Barr was released from Jail on an
order from the court.
Some days ago Robert P. Werner
brought an action of bail in trover in the
City Court of Savannah against James
Barr for the recovery of an engine and
boiler. and also a boat formerly known as
the Elise, which sank off the dock on
Daufuskie Island about four years ago.
From the testimony elected upon the
trial it seems that the boat was being
towed by the steamer Clifton, but on ac-
count of being improperly steered, filled
With water and sank Werner hearing
that Barr had taken the whole, or part
of this property, brought an action in
trover Cor the recovery of the same, and
filed an affidavit for the purpose of obtain
ing bail. In cases of this kind the de-
PENDANT has to either produce the prop
erty, give bond in double the amount or
else be committed co Jail.
Werner alleged the value of the engine.
boat and boiler to be $780, and further
claimed that he was entitled to $500 as
hire of said property. AS the law re-
quires bond in double the amount this
forced the unpleasant necessity upon Barr
of either giving bond in the sum of 5000,
or going to Jail. Barr being unable either
to produce the property or give the bond,
was committed to jail July l. He retain
cd the services of Mr.. r, l.. Colding, who
petitioned the court for his release from
custody, upon the ground that Barr did
not have the property in his possession
and was able to produce satisfactory rea-
sons for not producing it.
This paper was served upon Werner
who exacted the full five days required ty
law in such cases, during which time Barr
remained in jail. Upon the hearing of the
case the court ordered Barr dismissed, as
Werner was unable to produce a witness
who had ever seen Barr in possession OF
any of the property.
Barr feels particularly aggrieved as the
boat had been in the bottom of the rivel
for four years, and he says he will have
no trouble in showing the parties where il
is. This does not end the case, but
merely releases Barr from custody. The
case will be tried upon its merits at The
November term of the City Court.
