SALUTE ITALIAN CRUISER.
Lower Potomac Forts Greet Warship

Washington, June 2S.---The forts on
the lower Potomac, which only recently
We're trying to prevent the passage OF
an American fleet in a sham attack
upon Washington, have sall1ted the
royal ensign of Italy flown at the mast
head of the Italian cruiser Dogali,
which now lies at anchor off Alexan-
dria, Va, which is as near as the
state of the river will permit her to
come to the national capital The
Dogali had hardly cast anchor before
officials of the italian embassy visited
her and during the course of the day
a number OF her officers have come to
Washington aboard trolley cars or
launches.
In twenty years the Dogali is only
the second foreign war vessel to visit
Washington, the other being the Italian
training-ship Amerigo Vespucci, which
came just before the Spanish war. The
Dogali has been cruising in the West
Indies and came nouthward on trip
of instruction, after having been clear

several days and probably will be

According to the report Night

NO COMPETITION is SHOWN.
Three Firms Bid Same to Furnish Ball
CARTRIDGES to Government.

cartridges 10 6oVS1i''tiS's.
Washington June 2S.--A contract for
1000, 900 rounds of ball cartridges OF
caliber 80 was awarded yesterday by
Acting Secretary oliver OF the war de-
partment, the contract being divided
equally between the Winchester Re
peating Arms Company. the Union Me-
tallic Cartridge Company and the Unit
ed States Cartridge Company. The bid
of the Blake Rifle Company was With
drawn by that company upon the sus-
gestion of the department. that its pol
lev was not to make an award WHERE
the establishment Of plant was con-
tinrent upon the f,tlflllment of the COM
tract.
The bid of the three companies a
mong whom the contract was divided.
was Identical in every particular, the
price of each being $3.50 per LOCO
rounds. The bid of the Blake company.
which was withdrawn, was $33 per
900. In making the award General
Crozier, chief of ordinance. said that
there was no competition IN either the
price. the time of delivery or any OF
the other elements of the proposals.
This comment referred TO the bids OF
the three successful companies.
"The price at which this ammunition
is manufactured at the Frankfort ar
senal Ca government arsena), General
Crozier says sis $50 per 1000 rounds. :
"Ahhough the price bid is very high
and the establishments having plants
have not chosen to compete with each
other. nevertheless consider 1t desir-
able that private plants shall be pre-
pared for and have experience in the
manufacture of small arms ammunl-
ton, which is needed SO desperately
and in such large quantities in time OF
war;"
The original proposal called for bids
On 100000 rounds, but owing to the
evident lack of competition the amount
was cut to 100000 rounds.

The plaintiff was verbally engaged
to sink an artesian well at $3.50 foot.

well beyond general statement of the
amount of water required by the de-
PENDANTS, and the time of payment was
not referred to in the contract. After
drilling 1856 feet-a depth much great
Or than at first anticipated-anG not
obtaining the requisite supply of wat
er, the, financial condition of the plain
tiffs made it difficult for them to con-
tinue the work without some payment
on account They made several
requests for money which met with no
response or replies, which tended to
show that the defendants not only re-
fused to admit that any payment was
then due, but that they denied any
liability under the contract unless the
water supply was secured. Plaintiffs
brought action to recover for the work
,dorle. Held, that in a verbal contract
where there is no guarantee that the
work to be done under 1t shall secure
q particular result desired, and, from
the nature of things, this may be I'M
possible, the law implies g. c.onds7Dn
that both parties shall be excused from
their obligations where it becomes rea-
sonably certain that continuance
would be useless, and plaintiff was
held entitled to recover.

for many years, and the public used
another road laid out near by. The old
road had the appearance of a private
lane, and that 1T had been public road
was not known by the purchasers at
the time of the contract. Held, that
specific performance would not be IN

be perpetrated upon defendant by SO

Reaction or RevolutionP

With Russia isolated from the rest of the
world through the strike of the telegraph
operators and the cutting of cables, the
mind revels in pessimistic imaginings as to
the course of events within the cars realm.
All the factors for gigantic cataclysm are
there present. Widespread popular discon-
tent suspicion. fear, race prejudice. re-
ligious fanaticism, grand ducal reactionism,
mutiny-these elements leave little to be de-
sired by those who believe that only through
a thorough disruption will Russia ever at
tain to substantial peace and true self-goy-
eminent.
Wild and baseless rumors will, of course,
continue to spread, now that there are no
means of quickly ascertaining the state of
affairs. But rumor can be too sensa-
tional to be worthy Of passing credence.
Anything may happen. Everything is pos
sible in Russia today. There is not single
fundament of assured order in the empire
Even the Cossacks, long relied upon as the
sure safeguard of the crown in days Of
trouble. are not above suspicion In these
days of disappearing independence.
The position of the Car Nicholas is truly
pitiable. Hated by the bureaucratic class
and distrusted by the populace. his own
guards traitorous, one of the grand dukes.
is in grave personal peril and his throne is
lettering. If he turns to the reactionary
party he will set the match to the murder
GUS passions of the people. If he accepts
the revolution as an accomplished fact and
proceeds to build up a new government on
the basis of the already proclaimed constt-
tuition. he is almost certain to be stabbed
in the back in his own palace. And there
is little reason to hope for success even In
an undertaking to bring order out Of chaos
by means of popular government. There
are no substantial materials from which TO
construct a stable ministry under the aegls
of truly representative government.
Nicholas lost his best opportunity last
January, when the workingmen, headed by
Father Gapon, tried to lay their grievances
before him, and he not only refused 10 re-
cefye them, but interposed a barrier OF
bayonets before them. From the moment
his soldiers guns spat death in the faces OF
his peaceful, petitioning subjects his power
with the people was broken. he was no
longer the little father but the htte
tyrant, the weakling puppet of the cruel
palace schemers. A proclamation then OF
the constitution with assurances of INDUS
trial amelioration. would have appealed IA
more strongly to the patriotism or the tsus-
SLAMS than one forced from him months
later. when the evil effects of his tragic
blunder had begun to hem him about with
perils.
What will come to Russia in these dark
DAVIS with the army disaffected and the
passions of the people infiamed, Is not to be
foretold But it is close to certainty that
peace cannot come save at frightful cost
in blood, whether the revolution progresses
TO the point of producing chaos or the re-
action effects temporarily complete sup
preston of the masses. The day LOT COM
promises has passed.

Fiendish Work ON Oyster Boats,

Shocking tales of cruelty are told by the

Of the question got the upper hand, and
once the fever slipped past the guards and
into town the additional question then
arose as to the general business interests,
which would suffer If the truth were prompt

fever increased, and at last the situation
was such that 1t practically published IL

that 1t could not longer be hid.

Its trade is in itself reckless and criminal
business, and in this case both life and
trade were sacrificed. For when the an
nouncement of the fever was finally made
it was of SO terrible character that down
came the quarantine in every direction at
once. and New Orleans for months paid a
narrowing and an expensive penalty. Hun
dreds of deaths occurred and business in
many lines was brought to 4 standstill.
On the other hand, if the disease had been
seized in its infancy and throttled, only
temporary and inexpensive disturbance
would have resulted.
Gov. Blanchard's move is in the inter-
ests of the future and all the southern
country. Let US hope that it will bring
out the truth and bear good results.
