New Yorx, Oct. 1.—Today the first session of the Iron and Steel Institute was opened in Chickering Hall.

He said afew wordsof congratu- Intion to the members of bis society upon having an opportunity to visit and ‘sce for themselves the resources of this country. Mr. Andrew Carnegio then delivered the ad- dress of welcome. He dwelt upon the close friendship which has always existed between the manufacturers of England and America—a friendship that was increasing. year by year. The interest of one country was the concern of another. The United States was a great consumer and a great producer, aud her superabundant prosperity could not fail to re- fect in a like manner upon ail other countries, Ho was glad to have the honor of bidding the members of the iron and steel institutes u hearty welcome to Americ: responded to Mr. Car- negie’s welcome. “It is indeed an honor to us,” he said, ‘to be welcomed here by Mr. Car- negie, who js the largest manufacturer of iron and steel in the world. The remarkable recep- tion we have been n here sinco we landed justifies us in believing that we are welcomed as well by a yast number of the pegple of the United States.” Sir James then went into a history of the iron and steel institute. The figst president, he said, was the Duke"‘of Dvvonshire, wh acceptance of this position gained pre the institute which obtained for its hexd of social position and high intellectual attain- ents. It was interesting to note the rapid rogress of the Gychrist process, under which st Year weré ptoduced 2.2f2,000 tons of iron, The Iron and Steel Institute, he thought, had done something to warrant the grand reception they were now receiving.

The room in the Navy Department where the board of officers having charge of matters pertaining to the increase of the navy holds its sessions was the scene this morning of one of the most spirited and important competitions for rnment ship building work that has taken place in this country. Bids were opened at About 12:20 for the construction of four war vessels that will cost the country upward of $15,000,000. complete description of these ips is tobe found in another part of Taz Star, THE GREAT RIVALS, Never before has so much interest been manifested in the contests for naval work. There™has been a feeling extant among service people for some time that the rivalry between the two great firms of the coun- tey, the ‘Cramps of the east and the Scotts of the west, would, in « degree, culmi- nate on this occasion, and gossip has been rife for weeks as to the chances of one or the other Getting the work, THE SCENE OF THE COMPETITION. Ordinarily these bids are opened in tho large office of the Secretary, but this room has recently been divided so as to afford accommo- for the new assi: was found necessary to transfer the sc the competition to the board room, acro: corridor, By noon the room was half filled with people representing all sorts of interests. |, PEOPLE WHO WERE PRESENT. Each’ of tle expected bidders was there in the person of an officer of the company, and the «steel men were on hand to watch the course of events, There were four of the Cramp family, William, Charles and Henry, all of Philadelphia; Irving M. Scott, gencral manager of the Union iron works of San Francisco: Gon Hyde and Mr. MeAllistor of the Bath iron works; Vice Presidents Moore. Meade and Guyler of, the Risdon -iron works, San Francisco; Mr. Hoffmann of Philadelphia, representing the Carnegie steel intcrosts; Mr. Milligan of New York, representing the Dunham, Carrigan & Hayden Company, a steel firm of San Fran- ciwco, owning one of the largest establishments in the west, There were also present nearly all of th officers of high rank on duty in the depar! ment, including Commodores Dewey aud Far- quhar, Chief Constructor Wilson, Engineer-in- chief Melville, Capt. Davis, chief intelligence officer; Judge Advocate General Remey, Naval Constructor Hichborn and a dozen or 80 news- paper men. GETTING THE LAST MAIL. A delay of nearly half an hour after noon oc- curred in order to allow time for a messenger to go from the city post office to the depart- ment with the mail and a certificate from tho postmaster fo the effect that all matter ad- drossed to the department received up to noon had been'delivered. OPENING THE BIDS, It was 12:30 when a hush fell upon the crowd and a keen-edged paper knife was run rip- pingly through one of a small pile of packages lying in tho conter of the long table. Secretary ‘Tracy just at that moment appeared in the doorway and joined the group of listeners. He had just come over from the White House. ‘The first bid read was that of the Union iron works and proposed to build one battle ship under the plans of the department for the sum of $3,240,000, or two ships for €3,200,000 each. This bid was accompanica by a certified check for $150,000. -The next bid was from the Risdon works for one battleship under the department's plans | for $8,275,000. Bo far Scott was abead and he winked at Cramp, who stood leaning aginst the wall, and whispered » question whether his figure was lower. Cramp twisted his eye- brows out of shave and said *Yes.” Next came the bid of the Cramp company to construct cne battleship on the plins of the de- partment for. $2,990,000, or two such ships for $2,890,000 each. As this bid, which scemed. to effectually settle the chances of thé western people was read, a hum of excitement ran over tho room, while Mr. Cramp preserved a stolid countenance. Mr, Scott figured a little on the paper before him and said never a word. ‘I'he next bid was from the same firm to bid one ba! i ach, CHANGES PROPOSED IN THE PLANS. Accompanying this bid was a letter from the bidders expiaining the changes proposed by s of the department, The sthened twolve feet. thus in- i rial displaccment 480 tons, to be utilized thus: 190 tons in added length of frame; remainder to be used at the discretion of the department in heavier armor @o the sides and heavier protective plates around the gus. Tho advantages of this plan wero sct forth ‘briefly, comprised in several po:nts to which the bidders called attention, The next bid came from the Bath com- pany to build oue bttle ship, under the plans of the Department, for $3,149,000, NOW FOR THE CRUISER. When this was read Mr. Scott looked up at Tue Stan, reporter with a smile and said: “Now comes the cruiser; here is the tussle.” He was ono of the happiest looking men in the room. : ‘The first cruiser bid was from the Cramps, who offered to build the ship, under the plans of the department, for #2,725,000. The appropriation for this vessel is $2,750,000. Even this, = which proved to be a second. defeat for the San Fran- cisco man, did not alter his good humor in the least. He caught the eye of the Secretary, and poking his pencial toward the ceiling said, “Goue up.” and laughed, ‘The next propusal came from the Union iron | works to coustruct the cruiser under the De- partment’s plans for $4,025,000, CONGRATULATING THE CRAMPS, This.ended.the bidding. as neither of the smaller firms cared to build “The Pirate,” and the crowd in the room filed out. The Cramps were at once surrounded by people anxious to congratulate them upon their suc- cess. The contract will not be awarded for some days, A secondary bid was also submitted by tho Cramps for one battle ship on both the plans of the department and of themselves, at the same figures as the first bidg for one ship in these classes, This was donc to avoid complication because of the provision of tho law to the effect that uo more tuan two vessels could be bid for in the same proposal, and means that this firm is willing to buiid all three of the battleships. OSE FOR THE CRAMPS, Although tho Cramps are the lowest bidders for tho battle ships ono of the three must, by the terms of tho appropriation act, be built on the Pacific coast, and so the Union iron works comes in for its share of the work ini: the form of one ship at the rate of 3,240,000. It is the opinion of those who were present at the bidding that the Californians have by far the best contract, Mr. Scott says he is moro than satistied and also that the cruiser at Cramp's price will be the cheapest war vessel ever built, Nominations Today.

Members in the House ere on hand to talk to death many small which was by ‘eceive action at the last moment. Members with their little bills were crowding each other for recognition, and there were heavy hearts while the House listened to the fanny talk of Mr. Allen of Mississipp’. MANY MEMBERS WANTED THEIR PAY before going home, and there was a widespread spirit of discontent when they found that it would be a day or two before they could draw any money from the sergeant-at-arms’ office. A proposition was made to resolution advancing pay day, but there was obstruction im its way. THE POOL SELLING BILL. The President Vetoes It, Because It Doesn’t Go Far Enough. The President has vetoed the “bookmaking and pool selling bill.” His message with the rejected bill was brought to the Senate shortly before 2o’clock. ‘The message reads: To the Senate—I return wit hoyt my approval the bill (S. 3890) ‘to prohibit bookmaking of any kind and pool selling in the District of Co- lumbia for the purpose of gaming.” My objection to the bill is that 1t does not prohibit bookmak- ing and pool selling, but on the contrary ex- pressly saves from the operation of its prdkic bitions and penalties the Washington Jecke¥ Club, “and any other regular orgawtsitfons owning race tracks no lese than one. {pilq’’ length, &0.” If this form of gambling is tobe prohibited, as I think it should be, the penalties sould in- clude all persons and all places. Bess. Hanrisox. Executive Mansion, October 1, 1890 THE POOL SELLERS WILL COME BACK. Pool sellers arc « class of gentry that are not far behind the procession, but this time the joke is on them for their too much previousness. As stated in Tue Stan on Monday the book makers and pool sellers, who we made. their hordyuarters on 7th street. beyond Florida’ avenue, mate up their mind that there was | no use in fighting against the law that was just | the District. So they packed up their iares and | penates. likewise their black boards and | pool tickets and crossed the river to Jackson City expecting to thrive delightfully there. They never stopped to wonder whether or not the Pre: would veto the bill They went at the first word, Mr. Harrison, however. said no to the bill and people can now back the favorites any- where outside the city limits and within the District limit. The gentlemen whose business it 1s to get rich from those who do back the favorites, and others now wish they had not been quite 80 soon in moving their headquarters. They will probably be doing businoss at their old stand tomorrow and the voice of the festive een will once more be heard in the BILLS APPROVED TODAY. t Many of General and Some of Local Interest. - The President has approved the act author- izing the Canaveral and South Florida Rail- road Company to construct bridges across the Indian river and the Banana river in the state of Florida; the act for a bridge across the tucky river; the act authorizing the Mobile, Jackson and Kansas City Railroad Company to cross certain rivers in Mississippi; the act in regard to the use of the Louisville and Portland canal basin; the act for a bridge across the Arkansas river at Dardanelle, Ark.; the act authorizing the Seneca ,nation to lease lands within the Catta- raugus and Allegany reservations; the act in regard to the sale of certain New York Indian lands in Kansas; the act in recognition of the services of Chief Engineer G.

Aurust 18 the House passed the bill giving the printers, bockbinders and pressmen the old scale of wages—50 cents per hour. The same bill also Provided that the rate of wages for exclusive night work (between the hours of 5 p.m. and 8 a.m.) should be 50 cents per hour and that com.

Then Ahe privters and bookbinders and pressmen were happy. for they felt confident that the Senate was with thom. This afternoon there was handed ina report on that House act made by the Seuate committee on printing, INCREASED PAY FOR NIGHT WORKERS ONLY. The bill as amended is anew measure. All references to the increase of wages for day hands is omitted and the bill reads “That the pay of all employes of the Govern- ment Printing Office engaged exclusively on night work (between the — of Sp. m. and Sa m.) shail be 20 per centam in addition to the amonnt paid for day labo: , In the report accompanying the bill a Goal of tectimony and debate "is Arte yes | comparati tatements are made ing the relative wages paid in the Government Print- ing Office aad in private establishments in other citics, The advantage which accrues to employes of the Gover: by reason of the is referred to, i cent in wages.

PUTTING STONES ON THE TRACK. A Youthful Train Wrecker Sent to the Reform School. A number of colored boys living along the line of the Metropolitan branch of the Balti- more and Obio railroad amuso themselves by placing obstructions on the tracks, Were it not for the vigilance of the railroad men some accident would no doubt have long ago been the result of these pranks, The firemen, on- iuetts and conductors are generally on the lert, and aided by the railrond detectives they _— in bringing many boys to HOW 4 BOY was cavont. The last case happened yesterday near Takoma "Park, where two small boys placed large stones on the tracks. One of the incom- ing trains ran against two such obstructions, but fortunately no damage was done. ‘The boys at that time were not in when th 11 o'clock was nearing a point just beyond Takoma the engineer, James H.

LECTURED BY THE JUDGE, When the youthful prisoner was taken tothe Police Court today there was some doubt as to what charge could be made against him, but Mr. Mullowney took him into court on a ‘ge of assault. The boy was arraigned and he plead not guilty. When questioned by Judge Miller he said he was five years old and that another boy a the stone on the track to see the cars grind it into powder. Juage Miller said that some heroia treatment would have to be adopted for this clase of offenders. It has not been long since « stone was thrown through a car wi dow. Some months ago, said the judge, two persons stole some of the com- pany torpedocs and placed them on the track and got the trains so badly mixed that they could hardly bo straightened out. ‘The only thing the judge saw to do was to send the Loy to the Reform School, which was done. ‘The other boy will also be arrested, ———_— Gen, Raum Will Not Resign, Commissioner Raum was asked this morning ip regard to reports that he had tendered his r-signation or contemplated resigning and T have never been known to run whem Iam proud of the record of the office and am satisfied that the report, which be completed in a few days, will fully vine dicate my administration of its affairs.
