OPENED THE BIDS
NAVY DEPARTMENT GETS FIG.
URES ON COAL SHEDS
And Wharves and Appliances for
the COaling of Warsnips at
Puget Sound Navyyard---One Of
the Largest Contracts for I'M
prOvement of the Establishment.

Washington, July 29.-The navy de-
partment has opened bids for the con-
structiOn of coal sheds, coal wharyes
and appliances for coaling warships at
the Puget Sound maynard, the whole
project to cost upwards OF $265, 900.
This will be one of the largest contracts
ever made by the government for the
improvement of the naval establish
ment on the Pacific coast and shows as
well as anything else the importance
which the authorities attach to the
Puget Sound station. The magnitude
of the proposed coaling facilities is in
Dictated by the fact that the wharf will
be $50 feet long and So feet wide. One
of the sheds, which will probably be
extended before the construction is COM
pleted, will have ground dimensions of
SO by 400 feet, under the present speci-
fications. Five bidders have submitted
proposals, but the bids are necessarily
so complicated that it will be several
weeks before the bureau OF yards and
docks can determine which bidder
should receive the award. The bidders
are VIC uStt .'-ttlIFl DTlugc ana DrtUEh
ing Company, and J. j. Nancy, of
Seattle; w. Nichols, of Tacoma; Cotton
Bros, of Oakland, Cal, and Snare &
Triest, of New York.
The first appropriation for the work
was 1928, 900, but this was increased
last month by an appropriation of
1897 900, making IA total OF $265 900.
The coaling plant is to be so located
that the center of the wharf will be
parallel to and $50 feet east of the
western boundary of the maynard.
The outer end of the wharf will be
located approximately on the contour
line that is at present 80 feet below ex-
IRENE low water. The plant will ex-
tend as far inshore as the bidders
plans require. There will be a travel
ing tower, cabel railways and other APP
planes for handling coal, on such
large scale that 60 tons per hour can
be unloaded from barges and other coal
vessels and that 200 tons per hour may
be handled in loading under favorable
circumstances

KILLED GOATS.
Colorado Men Stay a Herd of 600
AngOras.

Grand Junction, Col, July 90
Twelve masked men visited the ranch
of Mrs. Nancy Irving. the sheep
breeder. located Is miles southwest of
Grand Junction. and with guns, clubs
and knives, deliberately killed 500 An
CORA does and large number of kids.
Fully 800 OF the does were with kid.
and these. were already beginning to
die for want Of nourishment. The
herder who had charge of the sheep was
covered with guns by the perpetrators
of the crime, bound and gagged, and
then tied to post. No clew to the
outlaws has yet been discovered. The
loss to Mrs. Irving will run from &c..
900 to IS 900.
Mrs. Irving. who is a widow, recent
ly received warning, presumably from
cattlemen. to remove her goats from
the Mesa range, or they would be
slaughtered by the Wholesale. She re-
ceived another warning that if she did
not remove all her remaining goats,
numbering over 600. from the mesa.
they would be killed Mrs. Irving has
appealed to the county commissioners
for protection, and the sheriff has
started an investigation.

in FIERY FRANCE
DISCON7ENT MANIFESTED BY THE
PARIS CROWDS.
Demonstrations Against a Decree
Ordering the Closing of Congre.
gatiOnalist Schools Show sharp
Division of Sentiment on Deli
cate Question.

Paris, July 2S.-The demonstration
made in connection with the decree of
Premier Combes, ordering the closing OF
the Congregationist schools, proved to be
quite as much of manifestation in
support OF the government as in opposi-
ton to its measures. The crowd which
focked in the Place de la Concoder
numbered $4,000 persons, while as
many more thronged the Champs de
Elysees. The clerical and anti-clerical
forces about equally divided the gather
ings.
Though many fights occurred they
never became general, nor was any per-
son seriously injured. An imposing
force of police and mounted municipal
guards had much trouble in keeping
the manifestants constantly moving,
dense. On the whole the crowds were
good natured, and mainly confined
themselves to shouting Liberty, liber-
ty," Long live the priests, and eve
want the PRIESTS to which the anti
clericals replied GIVE lie Republique'
and Clown with the priests The
occasional appearance of a priest was a
signal for much hooting, and several
hghts<were due to their persence.
A 6riking feature of the manifesto
tions was large number of women.
many of them well dressed, who actual
ly participated. Nor were the sex all
clerical in their sympathies, for the
a N ~ a N
strong force, and they occasionally
made things lively for their clerical sis
tiers, whom the police had some difficult
ty in protecting. In one instance de-
tachment of mounted police had to res
cue three we'll dressed ladies' from the
hands of a group of socialist women who
were bent on mobbing them.
The demonstrations eliminated when
a group of 80 ladies', some in carriages
and some on foot headed by Mesdames
Reille, De Nun, Cibiel and De Pomme-
rol, attempted to reach the ministry of
the interior in order to present to Pre-
mier Combes petition on behalf of the
priests. The police, however, refused
to allow them to pass.
. Paris, July 29.-Many persons injur-
ed, ten OF them seriously and hundreds
arrested, are the net results of the
street disturbances, in which both cler-
ical and anti-clerical demonstrations,
brought about by the closing of I'M
authorized religious schools, were made.
There were great crowds on the boule-
wards throughout the evening. in ex-
ectation of further rioting. A large
procession Of students, shouting and
singing, was dispersed by the police,
and attempted red flag demonstrations
a the Strasburg statue also were broken
up.

disposition of the case of Nina DAN

a Boston special to the Press.

mony OF eye witnesses. she killed En-

which causes the attorney general so

tions of the Massachusetts courts will
be violated by the return OF verdict in
direct opposition to the evidence.

CHAMBERLAIN CHANGED.
Condition of British Colonial Secre-
tary Alarms Friends

New York, July 29.-Celonial Seere-
tary Chamberlain condition is again
giving serious concern to- his friends and
grave rumors are current. says a Worlds
dispatch from London. 1t is said ac-
cording to the correspondent, that since
Mr. Chamberlain was hurt in a cab ac-
cident, on July Z. he has had recurring
attacks of irregular heart action. The
cardiac troubles are so serious that he
has been examined by three eminent
specialists in heart affections. and after
a consultation they forbade him to re-
sumo work in the house OF commons
last Thursday. as he had promised to
do. 1t is probable thatithe specialists
feared the effect of the exciting scene
which would be certain to take place
upon his reappearance in parliament.
Mr.. Chamberlain secretary has
published statement that the colonial
secretary is recovering more slowly
than was expected"
As the colonial office appropriations
are to be discussed in the house OF COM
mons ON Tuesday. it is matter OF ex-
IRENE interest whether or not he will
be there to take part in the discussion.
While therefore the reports concern
ing his health have been encouraging,
it is certain that his appearance is great
ly changed.
Colonial Secretary Joseph Chamber
lain appeared in the house OF commons
in the afternoon for the first time since
his recent accident. He was greeted
with hearty cheering.

festival OF music OF the North Pacific
Saengerbund was brought to a fitting
close by the "commers" held in Ger.

timated that more than 500 members
of the various societies were present.

to the yard. AS an especial compli-
ment to the musicians the maynard
band played during their entire visit.

man baths. He shows the effects of the
terrible punishment administered him
in the fight, his face being cut and
bruised, his nose broken and both eyes
go swollen he can scarcely see.
Fitzsimmons passed an uncomforta-
BILE night and became delirious at 8
O'Clock in the morning from the pain
resulting from his knockout jolt. The
doctors state his case is not serious. He
bears no mark of the contest. The
story published by the Examiner to the
effect that the fight was fake, Fitz
purposely pretending to be knocked out,
is not generally credited by the major
ity of those who saw the fight and is
vigorously denied by all concerned.
Mayor Schmitz will prohibit all fu-
ture contests if he becomes satisfied it
