HOPE TO SAVE CONTRACTS
Pittsbmg Thinks Americans Can
Underbid on Canal Supplies.
IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE.l

IBY TELEGRAPH TO THE TRIBUNE
Pittsburg. May 21-Many Pittsburg men, on
second consideration, do not believe that foreign
competitors can take a single contract away
from American producers under the Presidents
order to open the bidding for canal supplies to
the world. Speaker Cannon, while passing
through PIttsburg Saturday night, said the
government should by all means purchase
American material for the canal construction
and that he did not believe the foreigners would
stand any chance.
A. j. Hollis. Editor OF THE American Manu-
facturer." said to-day:
One has only to look at the vast number of
American products exported to prove that for
eIgn manufacturers can compete in only two in
stances with American producers. Ships and
rails are the only things the commission may buy
abroad. The steel rail pool is bound to main
SIS tor or else give the purchasers of rails for
the year the same price they make for the lowest
contract. That would mean an enormous rebate
on the two million tons of rails even if the lower
price amounted to 81 q ton less than standard
As for such ships the Canal Commission may
need, they can probably be built cheaper abroad
but doubt If they can be built speedily
they can in American docks. This may prove
factor. The Presidents order will enable the
Canal Commission to buy material cheaper, and
political graft methods will be obliterated.
Machine tOolmakers here allege that the
Walker commission in letting the last batch of
contracts specified the makes and cut competi-
ton down to one bid each contract.

RUSSIAN VAR COUNCIL.
Ne5o Body, Merging Departments,
Created by the Emperor.

St Petersburg. May 22.-The first step toward
the institution Of the long contemplated Council
of National Defence to coordinate the activ
ities Of the military and naval administrations,
has been taken in imperial manifesto Gre
ating a special preliminary commission under
the presidency of Grand Duke Nicholas Mich
olaievitch. The manifesto is preceded by a re-
script which Emperor Nicholas has addressed to
the grand duke, IN which his ma jesty says:
In order to insure the development Of the
empires fighting force in manner correspond
ing to the needs and resources of the state and
uniformity IN the duties of the supreme naval
and military administration, and also har-
monte them with those OF other government
institutions in questions affecting the safety Of
the state. 1 have deemed il necessary to estab-
fish permanent State Defence Council. I
charge the special commission. consisting of
members appointed by under the presidency
Of your imperial highness 10 draw up accord
Ing 10 my direct suggestion a law relating to
this institution
The rescript concludes with the expression of
the conviction that the commission will carry
out the task conhded to IT without delay and
with the care and undivided attention which its
high importance demands.
The formation Of the council and the as
sumption by it OF control Of the war are ex-
pected soon, as the main details have been al
ready worked out The existing council of war
which has proved unsatisfactory, will be super
seeded by the new body. The two departments
have failed to work together to the best ad-
vantage. even when actuated by the most har-
monious feelings, and friction has been often
manifested The council, however, is created
not for the present war but as a permanent
organism Of the state, subordinating the War
and Navy departments and even overshadowing
the other ministries
1t is understood the formation Of the new coun-
Gil means the definite abandonment of the plan
of sending Grand Duke Nicholas Nicholaievitch
TO the Far East to assume supreme command on

Philadelphia, May H.-In view Of the possible
difficulty Of the national government in obtaining
American vessels to carry supplies and machinery
to Panama, to be used In the building of the canal
there, barge owners of this city will make an
effort to get the business. One barge COMPANY
has already sent proposals to the Secretary of
War, offering to carry the governments freight to
Colon.
Shipping say that the scheme is practica BILE
although no cargoes have ever been sent to Colon
in barges The company that has already made an
offer owns fleet of ocean going tugs and barges
which are regularly engaged in the Southern lumber
trade. After dscharging the government freight
at Colon 1t is said. they could get return cargo
by stopping at Florida ports for lumber for the
Northern market. This would dispose of the OBJ
