the purchase of the properties that now
make up that system, and he was connected
with the company when the capitalization
was determined and is therefore one of the
original stockholders. 1t is understood that
he has not parted with his holdings
His present interest in the company,
based upon his stock holdings a s well as the
belief that he is friendly to Mr.. Loeb, are
some of the reasons why the theory is held
that Mr. Stevens is going to be a factor
in the reorganization of the company. es-
pecialy if those who are thought to he
backing Mr.. Loeb in this matter prove
to be strong enough to land their man at
the head of the system.
In fact, there is no name except that of
Mr.. Loeb that has been so generally men
toned in connection with this place during
the past two three months. The fact
that he is not a practical railroad man has
been mentioned in some quarters an OBJ
lection to his being put in such a position
On the other hand, il is said that if he
has the executive ability that is claimed
for him that practical knowledge of street
railroads is not an essential.

be the oldest colonial architecture in Viz

party also will inspect the old church tower
al jamestown. which is all that stands to
mark the spot selected by the first Eng
fish settlers to build their homes.
The trip up the river is entirely informal
and is intended to give the President
needed recreation after a strenuous day
yesterday at the jamestown exposition in
augural ceremonies. The day is far from
being pleasant. The sky was entirely over
cast with clouds at daybreak and there
were several drzzlng showers during the
morning. Indictment weather, however, had
no effect upon those on board the yacht
as they insisted upon carrying out their
program. There has been no communca-
ton with the Sylph at her anchorage in
Hampton roads since yesterday.

MATTER OF IMPORTANCE.
Proposition to Hold Back Bids for
Gun Forgings.

The proposition to hold back the bids for
fourteen sets of 14-inch gun forgings, as
noted in The Star yesterday. is said to
be a matter of serious Importance to the
thousands of workingmen at the washing
ton navy yard. 1t is also said Secretary
Metcalf about the first of the present year
gave orders for the work on the guns to
be executed at the naval gun factory here
and arrangements had been made to carry
out his orders in that respect. Therefore
the disappointment at the local yard is de-
scrbed as keen.
Twenty of the Pinch guns are for the
two new battleships. No forgings for the
big guns are made at the Washington
yard. They are purchased from the lowest
bidder and made into guns here in the gun
factory. If the bids are withheld il is be-
lieved one of the companies will succeed
in getting half of the 12-inch gun work.
That will mean much to the local yard.
