M|DVALE'S BID IS LOWEST
New Firm is Winner After Long
Fight for Armor Plate.
UNCLE SAM WILL BE GAMER
Carnegie and Bethlehem Companies
Will Have to Lower Prices to
Get Federal Work.

Armor plate of the highest quality Is
to be furnished for the battleships
South Carolina and Michigan by the
Midvale Company at s346 ton, which
is below the cost of plate that is be-
ing placed on battle-ships now in
construction. The Midvale people will
get the contract for the plating of
both ships, and the Carnegie and
Bethlehem plants will soon have to
close unless they get orders from
abroad.
Each bid was a surprise to the
ordinance officers of the navy. The
Carnegie and Bethlehem companies
for the first time said they would not
ask the Government to pay royalties.
The bids submitted by them were net
prices.
The three companies made big
cuts under the bids made by them a
little more than year ago. The Mid
vale people dropped So a ton on pres
ent prices, Carnegie $97 and Bethle-
hem $62. These figures are on class
A armor, which includes the heaviest
plates. On class B armor Midvale
dropped s4S, Carnegie S73 and Bethle-
hem $62. On class c Midvale made
a reduction of $44, Carnegie SAL and
Bethlehem $50.
The bids were as follows: Carnegie
Steel Company, 1928 tons, aggregate
bid, $2,733, $50, which was upon a
basis of 1870 a ton for the bulk of the
armor.
Bethlehem Steel Company, 1928
tons, aggregate bid, S2,S13,56S, upon
a basis Of 1881 a ton or all the armor
except a small amount used for bolts
and nuts.
Midvale Steel Company, 1928 tons,
aggregate bid, $2,555,4 40, based upon
s345 ton for the bulk of the armor
except bolts and nuts.
The bid of the Midvale Company is
thus $l7S,090 less than the bid of the
Carnegie Company, its nearest COM
petitOr.

TRIED TO KILL AN ADMIRAL
Commander of Black Sea Fleet
Is Shot through the Lungs.
TROOPS BEING CONCENTRATED
Fear of General Uprising Shown in
Activity of Military Throughout
Empire.

A dispatch fron Sevastopol says
An attempt was made to assassinate
Vice Admiral Chouknin, commander
of the Black sea tleet.
The Admiral was wounded and TAX
en- to hospital. His condition is ex-
tremely serious. The bullet lodged in
his lung, making breathing difficult.
Vice Admiral Chouknin has been
blamed for his severity and it was to
his treatment of the crews of the ship
under his command that the mutiny
on board the battleship knaz Potem-
kin in June and July last year was at
tributed.
An attempt was made on the life of
the Admiral February last. A wo-
man appeared at his official residence
during the afternoon of that day and
sent in her card saying she was the
daughter of a Rear Admiral at St.
Petersburg. On entering the Admir-
ais office the woman drew rapid
fire pistol and fired four shots at him,
each bullet reaching the mark.
AS she turned to escape the woman
was killed by the orderly on duty at
Chouknin's door. The crime beyond
doubt was political.
Some time elapsed before the po-
lice were able to establish the identi-
Ly of the woman who attempted Ad-
miral Chouknin's life, but it finally
became known that she was a He
brew named Cecilia Shabad, 25 years
old.
The preparations which the Rus
sian War Office has been making at
all the principal cities to meet an
armed revolutionary movement prove
to have been very elaborate. At
Riga the garrison is divided into
three divisions of two battalions of
infantry, half company of Cossacks
and three machine guns each, to pre-
vent the invasion of the city from its
three open sides. namely the canal,
the dam and the river Duna. Similar
plans have been drawn up BY every
commander of garrison or city.

TRADE CONDITIONS ARE QUIET
All Business, However. Is Far in Ex-
cess of Earlier Years for the
Dull Season.
R. G, Dun, & Co. S review of trade

r. G., Dun, & Co. S review of trade
says:
Midsummer quiet conditions are
more in evidence that at any
previous time this season, al
though trade continues far in
excess of earlier years, and pre-
parations for fall and winter are un-
abated. Confidence is the CONNER
cial sentiment. induced by exception
ally favorable crop reports and the
absence of any distinctly adverse fac
tor in the wholesale distribution for
this period, and the majority of re-
ports indicate satisfactorily prompt
collections, while at some points sum
mer stocks are being reduced by
clearance sales.
Not only the leading industries but
nearly all manufacturing undertake
ings have orders assuring activity
well into the future, and scarcity of
labor is still the chief complaint. Dis
putes as to wages are practically set
tied at the soft coal mines, and an
thracite collieries are resuming on a
sliding scale, giving hard coal miners
an advance of l per cent in July.
Evidences of the unexcelled business
during the fiscal year just ended are
found in every statement that ap-
pears.
Railroad earnings in June were 1913
per cent larger than in 1905, and for
eisn commerce at New York for the
last week shows an increase of ST.
S99, 1887, in imports and loss of
1874, 1922 in exports, as compared with
last years figures. Temporary ease
in call money did not weaken the
quotations of time loans, which re-
fleet the expectation of heavy ship
ments of currency to the interior for
crop moving in the near future.
Many iron furnaces and steel mills
have resumed after a brief season of
idleness for repairs, inventories and
settlement of wage scales, so that the
production is once more very heavy.
Textile manufacturing conditions
are not materially altered. Failures
for the week numbered POP in the
United States, against 223 last year,
and 81 in Canada, compared with 26
a year ago.

RUSSIAN CAVALRY MUTINY
Regiment Rcsists infantry and ORA
qoons Sent Against It.

A mutiny broke out July in the

infantry officer and soldier of the

mutlneers were killed The mutt
neers have barricaded themselves In
their barracks.

commentary on Gen. Trepoffs dec
laration July that the cavalry could
be more depended on than the infan-
try because their officers were in

ARMENlANs SLAUGHTERED
Officers and Soldiers Were Fired
Upon by Tartars.


At Etchmiadn, the ecclesiastical
capital of Armenia, Tartars attacked
the monastery and residence of the
Armenian patriarch. The Tartars,
who had hidden themselves in the
surrounding hills opened fire and
charged the monastery after night
fall. They were repulsed, but form
ed for a second attempt when force
of infantry and Cossacks arrived on
the scene. The officers tried to per-
suade the Tartars to desist from
their attack, but the latter opened
fire on the troops, wounding several
of them. The Cossacks thereupon
charged and dispersed the Tartars,
killing one and wounding several.
In the Zangisur district 800 Tartars
attacked an Armenian village. A de-
tachment of police arrived and tried
to restore order but the Tartars kill
ed the police captain, put the detach-
ment to flight and resumed the pill
lage which was continued until the
arrival of troops sent from Tiiiis.
