Wakefield Pier Damaged.

The substantial pier built by the United
States government at Wakefield on the Po-
tomac has, it is stated been badly dam
aged by the drifting ice, large portion
of the pier having been carried away. Ac-
cording to the reports coming from Wake
field the ice is piled fifteen or twenty feet
above the top of the pier.
Wakefield, the birthplace of Washington,
is In Westmoreland county, Virginia, but
is seldom visited. The wharf is not used
by any of the steamers plying on the Po-
tomac, owing to the shoal water and lack
Of business to take them there 1t is
doubtful whether or not the pier will be
rebuilt.
Reports coming from Colonial Beach state
that the wharf used by the river line steam
ers has been carried away by the ice and
that the pier on which Bentley's pavilion
stood has been SO badly damaged that
everything has been taken out of the build
ing and it is expected it will go down when
the thaw comes and the ice begins to drift
down from the upper part Of the river. The
loss at the beach, 1t is estimated, will reach
about $1,000.
Lower Cedar Point wharf. Stuart's, Stif's
and Somerset Beach wharves have all been
destroyed by the ice and it Is feared that
when spring comes there will be but few
wharves on the river that have escaped

Echo of Oyster War.

The oyster dredgers of Tangier sound.
Va, who last fall resisted the efforts of tho
Virginia state board of fisheries to place
Capt. ]. B. Crockett in possession of GER
tain oyster grounds which they claimed
as public land open to all oystermen and
fishermen. are now trying to retaliate upon
Capt. Crockett, who, they say, is the origi-
nator of all their troubles. Crockett has
been indicted on evidence furnished by thu
dredgers for Illegal dredging and the cast
will be tried at the March term of the Ac-
comac county court. The dredgers Will
aid the state in prosecuting Capt. Crockett.
The trouble Is the outgrowth of al. at
tempt made by Capt Crockett to lease
public oyster lands in Tangier sound and
when the entire navy of Virginia came to
Tangier and an attempt was made to sur.
vey the bottoms the Tangierites resisted
and pulled up the surveyors stakes as fast
as they were set. The Virginia authorities
finally retired from the field leaving the
oystermen victorious and Capt. Crockett
withdrew his application for the land.
Sixteen of the oystermen were arrested
and fined for unlawfully assembling and
they are now trying to get even with Capt.
Crockett.

BID OF THE MIDVALE COMPANY.
Statement Sent to the House by Secre-
tarv Morton

. Secretary Morton has transmitted to the
House statement on the subject of the
cancellation of the armor contract with the
Midvale Steel Company, of December Is,
1903, and Of the rejection of the bid of that
company February T. 1905, in response TO
recent resolution of that body. The state
ment is made up of an explanation by N.
q. Mason, chief Of ordnance, Gid the cor
respondence in the case consisting of thirty
printed pages.
With reference to the cancellation OF the
contract, 1t is stated that the Navy De-
partment would have become liable to ship
contractors for claims for delay II the ac
ton had not been taken. The Midvale peo-
pie were consulted and expressed will
fngnesS to accede to the bureaus tentative
suggestion" and thereupon the proper steps
were taken relinquishing the contract and
to provide for the construction of the armor
by the Bethlehem company.
In a letter from the Midvale company re-
linqufshing the contract the statement is
made: And the company in making this
REIMBURSEMENT does not in any way recog-
nize or admit it's inability to furnish ship
builders. But 1t takes this action in the
line of the policy which 1t always has
adopted in it's relations with the govern
ment. not to permit any consideration OF
private advantage to be considered by 1t
that might In any way embarraSS the de-
partment or cause the department to be-
come involved in unfortunate complications
with shipbuiders."
AS to the rejection of the recent bid, the
following explanation is made by Mr.. Ma
son, chief of the ordnance bureau
In making this recommendation the bu-
reau has followed the recommendations OF
a special board of five officers, experienced
in the manufacture of armor, that has
given careful consideration to the question
of the probable ability of the different bid
ders to meet the requirements of the de-
partment as to the delivery of the armor
required in such quantities and at such
times as will avoid delay in the proper
prosecution of the work of the ship con-
tractors. In addition to the question of IA
cilities considered by the board in making
it's recommends ton, the bureau invites at
tention to the inadviSability Of awarding
to the Midvale Steel Company a further
contract for armor until that company has
demonstrated its ability to manufacture
suitable armor under its existing contract
at the rate that is required.
while the Midvale Steel Company has
submitted trial plates that have success
fully wthstood the required balistic tests,
it has not yet commenced the regular pro-
duction of armor in quantity, and the bu-
reau does not deem that the production Of
the trial plates submitted is such guaranty
that the company can produce suitable
armor in the quantities required as would
warrant the department at this time to
award to that company further contract
for armor."
