BIDS FOR ARMoR PLATE.
The Midvale Company's Offer Much the
Lowest.

Bids were opened today at the Navy
Department for 7,S2S tons of armor plate
for the battle ship New Hampshire and
the armored cruisers Montana and North
Carolina. The only bidders were the Mid
vale Steel Company of Philadelphia, Pa.
the Carnegie Steel Company of Pittsburg,
Pa. and the Bethlehem Steel Company of
PittSburg.
The Midvale Steel Company's bid was as
follows: Armor, class "A, $39S per ton:
armor. class B. 1898 per ton: armor, class
C, 1888 per ton: bolts and nuts, 1886 per
ton. The aggregate amount of the bid
was $3,12S,7S1, and the delivery from Au-
gust Is at the rate of 500 tons each
month.
The bids of the Carnegie Steel Company
and the Bethlehem Steef Company Were
identical in every detail.
They were as follows: Armor-ClasS A,
$42O per ton; class B, 500 per ton; class G..
$500 per ton, and bolts and nuts, $500 per
ton, an aggregate of $3.204720. The first
delivery to be made in six months
Great interest was manifested in the
bidding today. as this is the first time pro-
posals have been made since the bureau
Of ordnance conducted test of the armor
plate Of the .Midyale company. which is
manufactured by new and secret process,
which enabled 1t to underbid the other two
companies, whose bids are in each case
Identical. The bureau of ordnance has
pronounced the Midyale test entirely salts
factory. and the fact that its bid today
was from seven to fifteen dollars per ton
lower than its competitors leads to the be-
lief in naval circles that Midvale may re-
ceive the contract

TO USE L AND M STREETS.
Proposed Amendment to Old Dominion
Road Bill

There is a new development in the street
railway situation that is greatly interesting
residents along L street from New Hamp-
shire to New Jersey avenue. Opposition TO
the bill to allow the Old Dominion Railway
Company to construct double track along
NJ street has been based in part upon the
claim that M street is too narrow to ac-
commodate double track and to allow
sufficient roadway on each side of 1t for
vehicles to stop in front of dwellings.
In order to meet this objection the advo-
Gates of the bill allow the Old Dominion
Railroad Company to extend it's tracks into
the city have agreed upon what they re-
gard as a compromise proposition watch, IT
is understood, will be offered in the Senate
when the bill comes up for consideration
This amendment will change the route to
the extent that from New Hampshire to
New Jersey avenues one track will be on NJ
street and one Is to be located on L street
The property owners on L street were very
much opposed to having the double-track
road on that street.
The bill to allow the Old Dominion Rail-
road Company to construct a railroad on NJ
street has been favorably reported to the
Senate from the committee on the District
of Columbia, and Is now on the calendar
of the Senate. There is also pending a
substitute for that bill bill to authoriSo
the Capital Traction to do the same rail-
road building that has been proposed Tor
the Old Dominion.

PROMOTION BASED ON MERIT.
The President and His Advisers Favor
a Change From the Seniority System.

The President and his advisers. including
the Secretaries of War and the Navy are
seriously considering the ACCESSIBILITY of
the existing systems OF promotion in the
military and naval service. In the navy
all promotions from the lowest grade to
that II admiral are governed by seniority
and the same system prevails In the army
In respect to all promotions below the
grade of general officers.
1t is believed by many officials who have
be obtained if a system of promotions based
on merit as. evidenced by distinguished or
acceptable service were substituted for
the present arbitrary system of promotion
by seniority. The only serious objection
offered TO the proposed merit system is
that the power of promotion by selection
on the ground of merit might be abused In
the interest of favored officers with poten-
tial influence with the administration.
Those favorng the change say that their
objection could be easily obviated by hav-
Ing the selections made by competent
board of unbiased officers. just as is now
done III the case of details to the general
staff of the army

secretaries Taft and Morton favor a modi-

ices by Individual officers by promotion to

matter as soon as more important. o,les-

THE SENATE.

Immediately after the Senate convened
today Mr.; Gallinger. from the committee
on commerce, reported back the merchant
marine commissions ship subsidy bill, and
said that the committee would file the re-
port of the commission as it's own.
Mr.. Berry stated that a minority of the
committee opposed a favorable report.
Broken Promise Charged.
Mr.. Bailey asked if the bill proposed a
direct subsidy. and Mr.. Gallinger replied
that it provided for certain subventions to
ships when their owners met the require
ments prescribed.
Mr.. Bailey stated that this provision was
contrary to the understanding when the
resolution providing for the appointment
of the merchant marine commission was
adopted. When unanimous consent for
the consideration of that measure was
asked" he said, 81 objected, and was in
duced to withdraw my objection on the
promise that the commission would recon-
mend discriminating duties and not SUBJ
sidy."
Mr.. Galinger said he had had no knowledge
of such an agreement, IF had known of
such an understanding" he said, IT should
not have accepted a place on it, because l
would not have undertaken the work with
my hands tied. No hearings would have
would have been most extraordinary, not
TO say preposterous."
There would have been no commission"
responded Mr.. Bailey, IF the promise ha d
not been made. The Record will show that
the cOlloquy occurred as 1 have indicated. !"
The consideration of the merchant ma
rine bill was dropped and the following bills
passed:
Establishing a SUPPORT of entry at Sher-
wood. N. d.
Authorizing the construction of a bridge
across Pearl river. Miss. by the Mississippi

The legislative, executive and judicial ap-
preparation bill was then taken up, and the
amendments made by the committee on an

The Record Quoted.
Mr.. Bailey interrupted the. consideration
of the appropriate bill to read from the
Congressional Record a colioquy between
himself and Mr.. Frye at the time the reso-
luton providing for a merchant marine
commission was passed. 1t appeared from
the report that Mr.. Bailey had withdrawn
his objection to the bill because Mr.. Frye
expressed the opinion that the work of the
commission would result I'm "a provision for
discriminating duties.''
MIR. Lodge said that the statement of Mr.
Frye was merely the expression of a per-
sonal opinion and in no sense binding He
said that a system of discriminating duties
would involve retaliation by other nations
