BIDS FOR GOLFERS.
Maryland Steel Company of Balti
more Lowest

The Maryland Steel Company of Balti
more Md, has submitted the lowest bic
for the construction OF two naval col
liers, exclusive of the eight-hour law
their figure being 1851 600 for each. The
company did not bid for the construction
Of the other two GOLFERS. which must be
built subject to the operation of the
eight-hour law.
The Newport News Shipbuilding Com
pany alone submitted bids for the con-
struction OF all four OF the ships. two
without the legal restriction at S97b.US
each. and two under the law. for 1895, ODD
AS the ships are to be precisely alike. the
figures show the estimate placed by ship
builders upon the workings of the eight
hour law as equivalent to an increase OF
$4,000 for each.
The New York Shipbuilding Company
of Camden. n. j.. sent formal declina-
ton to bid upon the Golfers on the ground
that they could not be built within the
appropriation Of 100000 each.
Owing to the fact that In every case
the bidders submitted their own plans, Il
is at present impossible to say which OF
the bids will be regarded by the Navy De-
partment as the more advantageous.
The New York Shipbuilding Company
was the lowest bidder for the construc-
ton Of two 1,1O0-ton sea-Going tugs a,
