AMERICAN OWNERS
FILE PROTEST

Washington. Sept. 26-Secretary OF the
Navy Metcalf intends TO take up with the
president the matter OF the award OF con-
tracts for carrying coal to supply the bat
tleships on their proposed voyage TO the
Pacific. The bureau OF equipment OF the
navy has concluded a compilation OF the
various bids and submitted them to the
secretary OF the navy. They show, as al
ready has been indicated. that the cost to
the government will be much less by the
employment OF ships OF foreign register
than by engaging American bottoms Not
withstanding protests have been made TO
the department on behalf OF American
shipowners against the award OF such
contracts TO foreign ships.
w. L. Martin, representing American
shipowners flied with the department

posed award 10 foreign ships would be
fragrant wrong TO American shipowners
and 10 American labor He declares that
although the bids by foreign shipowners
are lower than those Of American vessels
the difference is due simply To cheaper
wages on foreign ships and 20 subsidies.
He denies that the high rate asked by
American owned ships is due 10 any com
bination OF shipowners or 10 any desire on
their part 20 take advantage OF the neces-
stiles OF the government.

Washington. Sept 2S.-The formal order

partment provides that the field officers
serving within the geographical limits OF

oepted. shall report To a board OF sur
geons at such times as they may be re-
quired for examination as 20 their physi-
cal condition before the ride which N 10
determine their proficiency Is undertaken.
The order Is lenient TO the extent that IL
stipulates that IL such examination shows
that the test would endanger the life OF
the officer he will not be required 10 take
II, but report upon his condition must be
made by the medical board. Nothing
other than the fact that the rough rider
test would endanger an officers life will
excuse him from participation.
Immediately after the test fs over the
Officers are To report again to the medi-
cal board In order that their condition be-
lore and after taking the ride may be de-
termined. No officer will be permitted 10
recuperate for a few days and then come

BUT TWO BIDS
FOR THE SARATOGA

Washington, Sept. 26.-Only two bids
were opened at the navy department for
the old sloop OF war Saratoga. which Is
now at Philadelphia and which was
stricken from the list of naval vessels last
month and ordered sold. The bidders were
John II Gregory OF Perth Amboy. n. j.,
who offered 5000 for the famous old ves-
sci and Daniel c. OConnor OF Boston, who
bid y125OG1. AS each OF these bids was
less than the appraised value OF the ship
which is 1890. they will probably be re-
Jected and new proposals invited.
The Saratoga is one Of the famous yes-
sells OF the old navy She was built at
Kittery, Me, in iS42. was ship rigaed and
carried ~ guns, She was named after
the sloop OF war Saratoga, which served
I'm the Revolutionary war and foundered
OFF Delaware bay I'm 1880 Shortly after
her launching the Saratoga was sent TO
the west African coast, where she was
engaged In the suppression OF the slave
trade. In the Mexican war she was on
blockade duty OF the eastern coast or
Mexico She was one OF the vessels COM
manded by Commodore Perry on his ia

ated. During the Civil war the Saratoga
was cruising Off the African coast In re-
cent years she has been out or commission

SECOND DECLINATION
is A POSSIBILITY

New York. Sept. 26.-The announcement
that Sir Thomas Upton is prepared TO fol-
low up his frst challenge. which was de-
clined by the New York Yacht club at It's
meeting last night with one stipulating
for a 9J-foot boat was not wholly sur
prise in yachting circles. There WAS rath-
er a general feeling that the first was
largely I'm the nature OF a "feeler," and
that Sir Thomas was not sanguine OF It's
acceptance.
While none OF the leading spirits OF
the New York Yacht club could be found
today who would express themselves on
the probability OF new challenge as In
dicated IN the Associated Press despatch
es, one paragraph In the clubs reply 10
the challenge as framed at last nights
meeting was pointed OUT significantly.
The paragraph follows:
Especially should no agreement be
made requiring the contesting vessels -
be constructed under any rule OF meas
urement designed, as is the present rule
OF the New York Yacht club, 10 produce
a vessel OF a special or limited type"
As Sir Thomas indicates that his second
challenge will be under 1.-The New York
Yacht club rules" yachting men already
foresee the possibility OF a second declina-
tfon.
