Contractors Bid for Work Of Remov.
ing Ashes and Refuse.

Bids were received by the Commissioners
today for the collection of ashes and refuse
from private residences and for the extern
sion of the service to hotels, apartment
houses and all places of business. There
were four bidders. three of which are local
contractors and, according to the proposals
for the work, the extension of the coIlec-
ton service to hotels. etc, will cost the city
much more than was supposed when the
question of extension was being considered.
However these bids were taken for the
purpose of submitting them to Congress
In order to furnish an accurate estimate
of what the extension of ash and refuse
collections will amount to. Legislation for
this extension is needed and it was deemed
advisable to furnish this estimate in ad-
vocacy of the proposed measure.
The proposal of 1. T. Brown of New
York Of $1,000 to collect ashes from
hotels. apartment houses and places Of
business once a week was the lowest
John T. Conrad's bid of $4,000 was the
highest. For the collection Of refuse
Brown was again low, his bid being $780,
600. and Conrad high, with $4,000. The
other bidders were r. V. Rusk and StutIer

of the Grand Army Of the Republic met
in GAINESVILLE. Ohio, yesterday to consider
a number Of matters pertaining to the
Grand Army Of the Republic, and more

ment met in Minneapolis. Saratoga n. Y.
presented claims for the national en-
campment gathering through a number

tional encampment would go there this
year. Since that time there has been
more or less discussion of the facilities
AFFORDED by Saratoga for entertaining the
convention.
The leading railroads of the east had rep
resentatives in GAINESVILLE to show that
those leading into Saratoga would be quite
able to carry as large crowd as had ever
been carried into an encampment city. The
hotel men OF Saratoga also made q state
ment Of the housing capacity of their va

IN INTERESTS OF HARMONY
0RAKER POSTP0NES SPEECH

Senator Lodge has agreed to accept
certain amendments to his Brownsville
resolution. which will probably be sug-
gested by Senator Foraker, but the ex
act language has not been decided upon.
The compromise will probably not be pre-
sented to the Senate until the discussion
closes.
The republican leaders Of the Senate
were In conference at various times today
with view to reaching an agreement on
the terms of a resolution relating to the
Presidents discharge Of negro troops
that will harmonic the differences be-
tween Senators Foraker and Lodge, and
there is excellent prospect Of success in
that direction. The indications are that
a provision will be determined upon d.
recting an inquiry by the committee on
military affairs into the occurrences at
Brownsville without specifying whether 1t
shall deal only with the facts or shall in
>clude the legal problems as well. In con-
sequence Of this prospect Senator For
aker today postponed further presenta-
ton in the Senate OF his views on the
subject. 1t was announced that Senators
Tillman and Daniel and other senators de-
sire to be heard before the close Of the de-
bate. Mr.. Tillman could not proceed to-
day on account Of Illness.
Mr.. Daniel Defends President.
The discussion In the senate OIL INC TEeSA-
dents course in discharging the negro
troops was resumed as soon as the floor
could be secured. Senator Daniel being the
first speaker. In the main he supported the
President. saying. from the beginning OF
the history Of the country there has never
been q question of the power of the Pres1-
dent to drop from the roll any private SOL

by any misunderstanding on this subject.
Public sentiment should always stand by
the Chief Executive and COMMANDMENT
chief Of the army when he is clear In his
great Office, and in this case l think he Is
clear.
Senator Daniel did not, however, indorse
the position Of the President in forever de-
barring from entering the civil service the
