chants were astounded to learn from
the newspapers that they had been
ignored and that a Philadelphias had
been given the contract.
That It is impossible for the State
to save $4,000 In furnishing the State
House may be argued from the fact
that the maximum bid of a Whining

pictures and hardwood floors for the

and things mentioned by Supervisor

1000 men from the imperial fleet. This
force was at once attacked by n
rebel army of over 10000 men. Two
battles are now in progress and tho
imperial troops. enormously outnum-

from long range The warships re-
piled, but very Intellectually and were
finally driven TO take refuge behind
the foreign hotilla. Two of the Chi
nese boats were badly damaged and
are reported I'm a sinking condition.
There are persistent reports here
that Nanling and Kiu Kang have fall
en- into the hands OF the rebels, but
confirmation Is impossible to obtain.
The clash between a body OF German
marines and the mob which occurred
here yesterday has had very bad
effect. II is difficult to ascertain ex-
actly what caused the trouble. but
several Chinese were killed by the
marines and there is grave danger
that the natives will attempt reprisals.

Wilmington furniture dealers who
were turned down" by the State
House Commission when contract
for furnishing the enlarged State
House was awarded to A. L. Ward. Of
Philadelphia. laughed at the state-
ment attributed to member Of the
Commission that the state will save
somewhere about $4,000 by giving the
contract to Mr.. Ward In the first
place, there is no basis of comparison
with Mr.. Wards bid. for he was the
only man given an opportunity to es-
innate on the specifications on which
he was given the contract, the VIII
mington and Dover dealers being
promised that they would be given
identical specifications on which to
submit bids. but they never received
the specifications nor did they get an
opportunity to put in bids on the spec
iications Mr. Ward bid on.
II is true that five Wilmington deal
ers and one Dover dealer did put in
bids for articles scheduled by VII
liam Pennewill. supervisor for the
State House Commission, but these
bids we're brushed aside ruthlessly,
and after being promised that all
would be given a chance to bid on
