TAKING COAL TO MANILA.
Much Cheaper to Transport In For
eign Than in American Vessels

Bids recently opened at the Navy De-
partment for $1,000 tons of semiIbitumin-
Gus coal, to be delivered at Manila. dis
closed the fact that 1t is much cheaper If
transported in foreign bottoms than in
American bottoms. The proposals called
for separate bids on shipments in steamers
of American register. sailing vessels of
American register. steamers of foreign
register and sailing vessels of foreign reg
lister. No bid was received to transport
the coal in steamers of American register,
the experience of the past having demon
strated the futility of offering any. The
prices on shipments in steamers of foreign
register, and on which there were a num-
Der of bids, ranged from $3.50 ton to
S4IO ton Last year similar coal was
bought for 81 a ton. the price for ship
mentS in American steamers being 81 ton.
One concern offered to ship 5000 tons in
a sailing vessel of American register but
no bids for shipments in sailing vessels of
foreign register were received.
Two firms offered to ship the coal re-
gardless of whether it was in ships of
American or foreign register. the prices
ranging from $SSS by one firm and ST.
and S7.25 by the other.
Inasmuch as the award probably will
be made on the basis of the rate of $40
ton, the government will have to nav
this year $4,000 more than last year for
the same quantity

bed of the Potomac at the outlet of the big
trunk sewer from this city, and it is stated
that there is now only one man aboard the
boats used in the work Of lowering the big
pipes to the bottom Of the river and anchor
ing them in place. Less than 100 feet of
the pipe remained to be laid before the end
would have been brought ashore, and had
the weather remained moderate for about
two weeks it Is said the task could have
been completed Unless the water be-
comes considerably warmer SO that the
divers may work with comfort while con-
Meeting the sections of pipe, it is understood
that the work will be abandoned until the
early spring. Even If such be so the out
let will be ready to be connected with the
shore end long before the shore end is

placed in position. Three lighters, a pile

TRYING TO GUST PULLMANs.
Company Making a Fight to Stay in
Kansas

TOPEKA, Kan, December 29.-The at
torneys Of the Pullman company have filed
in the supreme court an amended answer
to the suit brought by the attorney gen.
eral to GUST the company from the state.
The company asserts that judgment should
be rendered in it's favor but should be
dismissed on the grounds that as it has
contracts with all the railroad lines in the
state it is really the agent of these lines,
and that the railway companies should be
made parties to the suit.
The company explains that 1t furnishes
cars to the railroads to provide better
accommodations for the passengers and
that the presence of Pullman conductors
and porters in the cars is simply to aid
the railroad company. The company also
says that 1t will show that it cannot be
ousted from the state under the federal
Constitution.
