If any misguided mortals living within the “Ten Miles Square” had come to the conclu- sion that they were going to enjoy a cool sum- mer in 1891, they are not telling folks about their early beliefs to-day. Indeed, those amateur prophets who have all along been croaking about the cold, damp season began to shrink out of sight last Fri- day, when the August sun, having obtained a new supply of caloric, began to get in ite mid- summer fine work. THE STOCK OF CALORIO LARGE. ‘This new stock is probably large enough to last some weeks, unless the tremendous in- roads that such days as today and yestefday and Saturday are making upon it should con- tinue. It is to be doubted if Washington hasever been much hotter than it is today. ‘The asphalt has resumed its customary August softness, and the palm-leaf fan fakir is smiling a broad, happy em ro fits. The flannel shirt has jumped 4 the front with a wicked spurt, and the white suit has come from the cleaners. . T00 HOT FOR comFoRT. Yet, with all these modern conveniences, the town don’t like the business. It is too hot for comfort, even if a man should have nothing to do, and if he should do that clad in a pre-apple-ite costume. Itisaday when the town wou very grateful if Providence would grant a whole holfdgy to all. creation, #0 that it conld seek some tic shower bath and cool off. The weather bureau ennnot help Providence in the least in this dilemma, not even by a ray of hope. It is ® case where the bureau is simply as, badly off (98 any other section e town and it may be a con- to that part of city that shakes its fists at the diurnal weather map to know that the man who drew it is using his handkerchief and his stock of profanity quite as often as anybody else. FEW CASES OF SUXSTROKE. Yet there have been remarkably few cases of sunstroke here. People have not yethad time to think how hot it is to be, in the proper frame of mind, for prostration by the heat. It is the man who Js constantly kickingabout the weather and asking his neighbor if it is warm enough for him, who is smitten by a distracted Provi- dence that has lost its patience. ‘here has not been enough chance given yet, but a couple of more days will fix that all right. At the Emergency Hospital the physicians have examined their stock of restoratives and remedies usually used in cases of sunstroke and have otherwise prepared for a run. Every- thing is ready. HARD ON THE CAR HoRSES. The heat is particularly hard on the car horses, for it is an unfortunate natural para- dox that the hotter it gets the less folks want to walk, and also the hotter it gets the less able are the horses to draw them. ‘The flags on the public buildings can’t even be patriotic. There is so little air stirring that they hang with apologetic limpness, as if there were too many stars in the field todo more than wrap ly around the staff and wiggle. Under no circumstances do they show enough interest in thestatecf the government to spread ‘out into more thane distorted triangle, feebly pointing to the middle of the next block. ONLY ONE CABINET OFFICER IN TOWN. ‘There is but one cabinet officer in town to see to things. He is taking bis dose of summer air ou the second floor of the Department of Justice, and he finds it difficult, even with the in front of him, of town h jed to a Stan reporter.the other bound to remain. He says: “I know if seems selfish for me to stay here and gnjoy Washington all. by myself during this delightfal weather without sharing it with my poor colleagues, but the President said be- fore he went away: ‘Miller, I am going to de- pend on you to hold down the government while I'm away.’ Iam therefore holding things down. It is warm work, but I don’t dislike it.”* g DISTRICT GOVERNMENT. STREET CROSSINGS AND CABLE LINES. At their board meeting this afternoon the Commissioners decided to request the mayor of San Francisco to furnish them ‘with a copy of the regulations in force in that city governing the street crossings of cable roads. ‘Their at- tention was called to the matter by a gentleman of that city who was discussing the difficulties of treating that subject in that city on account of the great number of cable lines. INFORMATION AS TO FLOWER MARKETS. ‘The Commissioners, through the Secretary of State, today requested that the representatives of the United States abroad be directed to fur- nish for the use of the Commissioners plaus for the construction and management of flower markets in the principal European, cities + Edward Fitzgerald has been appointed food inspector for the District, in accordance with the provision of the last appropriation bill.

A CONTRACT FOR THEM TO BE MADE WITH THE RETHLEREM IRON COMPANT—THE PRICES DIP- FERENT FROM THE PROPOSALS, BUT THE COM- PANY WILL PROBABLY ACCEPT THE AMENDED TERMS. Gen. Grant, the acting secretary of war, this morning affixed his signature to the out- side of a corpulent bundle of papers and there- by approved the proceedings of the recent meeting df the board of ordnance and fortifi- cation, held fh New York, at which the matter of the bids for the 100 high-power guns for the army was finally considered. This practically settled the business and awarded the contract to the Bethlehem Iron Company at a rate somewhat different from those submitted in the bids. It is, of course, powsible that the company may not deem it good policy to accept the contract at this al- tered price, but the chances are that it will take no such step, but that it will sign a contract with the government on the terms specified by the board. ‘The law in this instance is somewhat unique, directing the Secretary of War to contract for these 100 guns a: prices which the board of ord- nance and fortification might deem fair to the manufacturer and to the best interests of the goverument. Bids were opened July 13 and were received from the Bethlehem company, the Midvale company and the South Boston iron works. There was a good deal of varicty in the bids, owing to the different arrangements for tho times of delivery, but the figures of the Bethle- hem company,which has recently been success- fully furnishing gun steel to the navy, were generally the lowest. THE OFINION OF THE BOARD. In the record approved this mofning is the following statement: ‘The board, is of the opinion, first, that the interest of the United States does not require that guns should be turned out at a rate materially greater than carriages and emplacements can be provided, suitable appropriations therefor being made, to make them available for use. “Second. "Chat the interest of the United States does not require that guns should be procured by contract to the displacoment of the plant and skilled labor already provided a atthe army gun factory at Water- vliet. “Third. That considering the necessary appro- priations for maintenance and operation of the gun factory, for additional forgings to keep it in operation, for carriages and emplacements for mortars and carriages therefor, and other necessary objects of deieuse and armament, it is not for the interest of the United States to hasten the contract guns to a degree likely to cripple appropriations for these other necessary objects. “Fourth. That it is for the interest of the United States to accept that bid of the Bethle- hem works, which, conformably with the fore- going propositions, will secure the establish- ment of a private gun plant, within a reason- able period, with the least cout for plant to the United States. “Fifth. That schedule E, in the opinion of ‘the board, is the schedule which most nearly conforms to these conditions. The board there- fore, in conformity with the duty imposed on it by the fortification acts approved August 18, 1890, and February 24, 1801, adjudges the | sian in the proy ils of the Bethle- Iron Company of July 11, 1891, under schedule E, to be fair to the manufacturer and tor the interest of the United States, THE CONTRACT RECOMMENDED. “The board recommends that a contract be entered into with the Bethlchem Iron Com- pany for the manufacture of 100 breech-load- ing, single-charge, built-up, forged-steel rifled guve under shedule its propo- sals of July 11, 1891, vis: Twenty- five 8-inch breach-loading’ rifles, each for 217,246.55, including ten rounds of ammunition complete; the first gun to be manufectured to be the type gun, which shall be subjected to such tests as the board shall hereafter pro- scribe: that the ammunition required for these teste over and above the ten rounds supplied with the gun shall be furnished by the company at the price of $71.09 per round, “Fifty ten-inch breech-loading rifles, each for $35,747.58, including ten rounds of am- munition, with the same provisions as to teste and extra ammunition, the latter to be paid for by the company at $131.06 per round. “Twenty-five twelve-inch breech-loading rifles each for $54,473.22, with the sume stipulations as to type, gun, teste, ammunition, &c., the extra rounds to be paid for by the company at 8217.06 cach. “The Bethlehem Iron Company before the contract is made should submit for the approval of the board detailed drawings of each caliber of gun contemplated under its proposal. The physical qualities of the metal, be made of it of the tests to and all details of assembling the parte and all points relating to the construction of the uns required to carry out the proposal should Bo opproved by the chicf of ordnance before being submitted to the board. “The board is further of the opinion that the chief of ordnance should be authorized to ‘| make agreement with the contractor so as to admit of such changes being made, from time to time, in the guns to be furnished as may be | an necessary to keep abreast of any improvements that may hereufter be attained in gun construe- tion.” WHEN THE GUNS ARE TO BE FURNISHED. According to the proposals of the Bethlehem Company in schedule E the guns are to be far- nished as follows: Eight-inch type gun in 730 days; the other guns in such regular periods that the twenty-fifth whall be delivered in 2,433 days. after. notification of the, acceptance. of the type | gun. | Ten- inch t m ys; the others in regu- lar Baal cap the fiftieth shall be ready in $407 days after the acceptance of the. type. ‘Twelve inch-type gun in 1,095 days; the o in such periods that tho twenty-fifth shall be completed in 3,194 days. ‘The difference between the bid accepted by the company lies wholly in the price to be paid for the type guns. "The bid was for a type gun in each class at a much larger figure than for each suc: ‘an of the same class, but the board considei {hil pp iret opr necessity for such & difference. The higher for the type includes the — cost of the n amount of req the testing of ‘Three hundred and fifty rounds inch gun, 300 rounds for a gui 250 for a twelve-inch Such tests usually deemed to bo for the interest of the United States typeguns, being common pattern, should not such a high number of test * Immigrants Will Not Land on Sunday, Gen.
