Commander in Chief M. Emmett Urell Of
the Spanish War Veterans has returned
to this city from trip to New York, Con-
necticut and Massachusetts on business
pertaining to the organization and the
national encampment of the Spanish War
Veterans, which will be held in New Haven,
Conn, September p, % and so. He reports
the organization in splendid shape and
states that the fourth national encamp-
ment at New Haven will be better at
tended and more successful than has
any heretofore held. In Boston, Mass, the
18th instant, the corps of the state of
Massachusetts held it's annual convention
in Fanueil Hall and was addressed by Col.
Urell and Adjutant General L. c. Dyer,
who accompanied the commander-in-ch chief
on his trip.
Col. Urell has sent the following tele-
gram to Gen. Stewart, commander-in-c chief
of the Grand Army of the Republic, at San
Francisco, Cal:

CONTRACT AWARDED.
Burgess & Parsons to Construct Will.
liam Ludlow School Building.

Capt. Chester Harding, assistant in
charge of the building department, and Col
John Biddle, Engineer Commissioner, have
approved a recommendation from Snowden
Ashford that the contract for the construc-
ton of the William Ludlow school building
at the corner Of 9th and G streets north
east be let to Burgess 6, Parsons for $40
719. This amount Is 1926 over and above
the original bid put in by this firm, repre-
senting change from artificial to natural
stone, on which this firm alone was invited
to submit an estimate
The matter of the award of this contract
is in more or less mixed-up condition The
Ludlow building is to be one of the finest
graded structures in the city the sum of
$4,000 being available for its construction
proposals We're called for under two sets
of specifications. The first proposition was
FOR the construction of the building with
bun brick and real stone trimmings. The
second proposition was for red brick and
imitation stone. There were several bid
ders for the work. Pavarini & Greer put
In the lowest bid for buff brick and real
stone, offering to construct the building on
that basis for SAL 700. Burgess & Parsons
quoted the lowest figure for red brick and
imitation stone, $38, 1893.
In the Endorsements on the paper Build
ing Inspector Ashford says he understands
red brick is preferred by the Commission
CESS & Parsons to change the imitation
stone for natural stone for S2,326 addition
al. making the total of their bid $4O719.
There is some comment at the District
building on the fact that the Commissioners
in changing the specifications called for a
modified proposal from but one of the two
lowest bidders. 1t Is claimed that the buff
brick and natural stone bidder had the
same right to consideration in constructing
the building on a red brick and natural
stone ba sis as the red brick, and fmita ton
stone bidder. The building as now pro-
posed to be erected IS Compromise be-
tween the two original pro POSITIONS, and
therefore, it is claimed that the low bidders
in each of the former Instances should have
been given the privilege of estimating on
the new basis. -,
It is stated in the building department
that 1t is not an unusual practice to call
for estimate on a slight change in speci-
f1cations from low bidders Oh original speci-
hcations

German History of a British War.

From the Pail Mall Gazette.
There are so many things which are made
in Germany nowadays that one feels as IL
one could dispense with good many OF
them, and, notably, with a German history
of British war. 1t appears, however, that
not only is this history to be produced-as
was indicated in these notes some weeks
ago-but that it is being pushed forward.
One might have thought that it would have
been worth while to produce in a reaSona-
BILE time an authentic British history of the
war In South Africa. knowing that our in
formations rivals are neither too scrupu-
lous nor too well disposed toward ourselves.
1t might have seemed worth while 10 tell
the truth at the earliest possible moment,
and in the fullest possible manner. To
those in authority, however, it has appeared
in a different light, 1t was this country
which fought the war in South Africa, and
which, consequently, might be supposed to
of its results. The trouble is that half a
with the history of the war. But Germany.
which had nothing to do with (which, IL
she spent any blood at all, spent 1t in the
shape of filibusters on the Boer side-has
seconded twenty specially selected officers
in order that they may give their individual
attention to the preparation of the story.
We need not f1atter ourselves. There are
assuredly some things that we do not man
age better in this country, and apparently
the history of our own wars is one Of them.

MENTALLY INCOMPETENT.
Misfortune Overtakes Two Ladies Who
Formerly Resided in This City.

Information has been received in WASH
ington to the effect that Mrs. Eliza Jane
Denver and Miss Cornelia Denver, wife and
daughter, respectively, of the late Capt.
Denver, and formerly of this city, have
suffered mental collapse and are patients
at st. Andrews Santarium, in Coronado.
Cal. The two ladies are well remembered
by Washington society people. Mrs. Dem
YER and her daughter have resided in
southern California for about four years,
going about year ago to Coronado, where
they took a cottage. The ladies are refined
and highly educated, and number among
their friends some of the most prominent
people of this section of the country.
Since the holiday season both the ladies
are said to have acted in a strange and
unusual way, refusing to see their friends,
ignoring their neighbors and making it
plain they did not wish to be disturbed.
Recently their actions created considerable
alarm among their acqualntances, and II
was feared. unless conditions were rem
edied a double tragedy would be enacted.
Vendors and storekeepers were not allowed
admission according to the reports, and
even their mail was returned unopened
Attempts to gain entrance to the home OF
the two ladies resulted in repeated re-
pulses, and it found that the doors
and windows were barricaded.
Finally it decided that the relatives
of the mother and daughter should be
notified, and upon the arrival of the for
mer forcible means were used to get INFO

mentally incompetent, and Mrs. Cummings.

TUCK's TICKET SMASHED.
Convention in Anne Arundel Was Any
thing but Harmonious.

Special Dispatch to The Evening Star.
ANNAPOLIS Md, August 1S.-In the
republican convention for Anne Arundel
county DR.. Tucks legislative ticket was
smashed. The four members nomiria led
for the house of delegates are favorable to
McComas
The doctor was continually on the f1oor
making motions to reconsider the nominal
lions for the house of delegates.
He succeeded in having the vote recon-
sidered once and proceeded to ballot In a
different manner, but he could not obtain
the result he desired and he lost complete
control of the situation.
Previous to entering the convention DR..
Tuck labored two hours with the delegates
assembled in secret caucus to name his
men, but without avail.
He then tried to vote them in the con
firm and were victorious In having Nc
Comas men nOmina ted.
Pandemonium reigned during the voting,
and when all the ticket had been nominated
DR.. Tuck again tried to have the conven-
ton reconsider the legislative ticket, but
the county delegates voted to adjourn.
DIR. Tuck was given the power to name
the delegates to the state convention, which
meets in Baltimore, and which, of course,
will be favorable to the Mudd slate.
The committee on resolutions is to pre-
pare suitable ones for publication without
submitting them. The resolutions will
doubtless be complimentary to Mudd.

their meetings earlier than has been the
custom. All local breweries. it was report
ed, have signed a contract with the local
beer drivers union, in which the former
agree to employ none but union labor.
The lockout of the local wholesale meat
dealers against the membership Of the
butcher workmen and meat cutters union
was brought to the attention of the central
body but as it. was known that only
minor detail stands In the way Of immediate
adjustment. it was decided to leave the
matter in the hands of the butchers.
Up to a late hour this afternoon the en-
ployers and lockedout workmen had not ar
rived at a decision in the matter of pay for
overtime work The employers, 1t is said
have agreed to become a party to every
other stipulation in the contract presented
by the union, but up to this time have
stoutly refused to agree to pay ume-and-
half-time for overtime work.
