THE EVENING STAR, THURSDAY, APRIL 12, 1900-16 PAGES, BIDS FOR NEW STRUCTURE FIRMS COMPETE FOR DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE CONTRACT. Original Appropriation of $1,000,000 Not Sufficient to Complete Build-, ing—Appeal to Congress. Bids were opened at the Department of Justice today for the erection of the new building for the department. It will be re- membered that Congress appropriated $1,- 000,000 for a new building and piaced the whole matter in the hands of Attorney Gen- eral Griggs. That official promptly vacated the old building, moved his department and the Court of Claims to three different bulld- ings, and had the old structure torn to the ground. In the meantime preliminary plans were submitted by competing architects. This contest resulted in the selection of that presented by George B. Post of New York. Early in March the Attorney General, after numerous conferences with Mr. Post, had about completed the detatled plans and specifications and was ready to ask for bids. By that time the rise in the prices of building material was such as to make a further appropriation necessary. Exactly how much could not be told until contrac- tors had submitted bids. March 15 Attor- rey General Griggs selected ten of the most prominent contracting firms in the country and asked them to present bids by April 12. More than half the number declined to enter the competition, and other names were substituted, giving about sixteen firms an opportunity. Eight firms of financial standing submit- ted bids today. These give the length of time in which the work can be done and the material proposed to be used. It will be seen that these two features make quite a difference in the bids. The earllest time fixed In which to do the work is sixteen months. The contractors who set that time, however, want $225,000 extra. ‘The firm offers to do the work in twenty-three months for $1,585,800, and in sixteen months for a quarter of a million additional.

The last two bidders do not give sample, but will use the best and most suitable marble. To Be Submitted to Congress. Of the original appropriation of $1,000,000, all but $25,000 or’ $50,000 is available. The Attorney General will now go before Con- Sress and request an additional appropria- tion, at the same time submitting the bids which have been made. How much Will be asked for will be determined after the bid- der has been selected. The Attorney Gen- eral will also be compelled to ask for an ap- peopHiation for furniture for the new build- Ing. He will immediately go over the bids carefully, confer with the appropriations committees as to the time for completion and the marble to be used, and will then announce the contractor. Trouble With Local Contractors. Local contractors continue to protest vigorously against the discrimination made ainst them. They declare that the bids should have been opened to the public or, if confined to a few people, at least scat- tered so as to include Washington firms. The contractors further assert that the Department of Justice ts setting a bad pre- cedent and opening the way for combina- tions of contractors. They also call atten- tion to the provision in the bill providing for the new building, which says that no plan shall be accepted which will cost more than the price provided for—$1,000,000. torney General Griggs says he looked over the local field, but did not find con- tractors to his satisfaction. He says if he had had plenty of time he would have bids to general competition. would have taken until the before he could have known how much money he had to ask Congress for, and that would h n too late for an additional twenty-seven = ; 56,000: sa propr ereby post- A.

HARBOR OF PAGO PAGO. Interesting Report Received From Commander B. F. Tilley. Acting Secretary Allen has received an interesting report In regard to the harbor of Pago Pago, Samoa, from Commander B. F. Tilley, commanding the United States ship Abarenda. It is dated Pago Pago, March 20, and says: “I have the honor to report that on the Sth instant, while I was in the port of Apia with the Abarenda under my command, a heavy gale from the northward came on very suddenly, and I was obliged to pro- ceed to sea at once. In less than half an hour a heavy sea got up, and the anchor- age at Apia was unsafe for any vessel. The German cruiser Cormoran mnd the American mail steamer Alameda left Apia immediately after the Abarenda came out. It was with some difficulty that the Aba- red the reefs, as she has not am power. After we got outside, the weather got much worse, and the gale continued to blow for two days. I stood down toward Pago Pago, but the weather was so thick and boisterous that {t Was un- safe to run {n on the land. On the 10th in- stant I entered this port at 11 o'clock p.m., and, although it was still blowing a gale outside, I found the harbor as smooth as a pond. as a commercial port, as compared to Apla, 1 will state what occurred to the mail steamer Alameda on the last voyage southward from San Francisco. The Ala- meda had thick weather for two days be- fore reaching the Island of Upolu, which she sighted when well to the eastward. She arrived off the port of Apia about half an hour before sundown on the 7th instant. Although she brought the mall, her captain (Von Ortendory, a very old man) decided not to come near the port, and stood out to. sea. The next day, March &, he came in* and anchored at 10 o'clock ‘a.m., having lost sixteen hours. At 1 o'clock p.m. on the same day the gale set in, and the Alameda was forced to put to sea at once. She cast off the lighters which she had alongside, and some of them drifted on the reef and were badly injured. She had a number of passengers oft shore, and, although they were recalled by blasts of the steam whis- tles, 1 do not think they were all able to get on board before she sailed. Had the port of call of the Alameda been Pago Pago instead of Apia, she could have entered it at any time, night or day, discharged her cargo and embarked freight in two hours and then proceeded on her way. I make this statement of facts so the department may realize the value of this port. It is for the interest of the Germans to have the steamers from San Francisco stop at Apla, but {t is for American interests, as well as for their own advantage, that they should stop at Pago Pago.” + e+ _____ Marriage Licenses.

A deed was placed on record today which Herbert Noble, truste the trustees of St. Vincen lum nineteen and one-quarter acres of the piace just north of Eckington known as Edgewood, the home of the late Mrs. Kate Chase Sorague. The price paid was $67,000 cash. The transaction was made through the office of R. O, Holtzman, in connection with Daniel & Armat, real estate brokers. As heretofore stated in The Star, plans have already been selected for the building which fs to be erected on this site for the orphan asylum. As soon i e new struc- ture is completed, which will probably not be this year, the children and managers of the orphan asylum will be removed to it from their present home at the southwest corner of 10th and G st northwest.

PROCEEDINGS DISMISSED. on the the two Decinion Against Little Egypt in Suit for Accounting. Justice Hagner, in Equity Court No. 1, today dismissed the temporary proceedings for an accounting, the appointment of a re- celver and the dissolution of partnership, instituted by Ashea Waba, otherwise known as “Little Egypt,” against Clifford W. Grant and Eugene Wellington. As report- ed in The Star, the case was argued late yesterday afternoon. The court took the matter under advisement until today. The complainant contended that she had entered into a partnership with the de- fendant (Grant) for the purpose of conduct- ing a theatrical company; that she was to receive one-half the net proceeds; that she has not received her share of the proceeds since the 20th of March, and that when she proceeded to the Bijou Theater Monday last, prepared to give her'part of the per- formance) Grant ejected her from the play house. According to Grant, no partnership ex- isted between the two. He added that the complainant was merely a paid employe: that she absented herself. from the com. Dany the 20th of Mareh;, without permis- sion, and remained, away until Monday last; that he was compelled to employ som. one in her place and that shere ts no money due her. — In disposing of the matter in favor of Grant, Justice Hagner took occasion to denounce in severe language the cnaracter of the exhibitions which have been given by the complainant, and condemned those engaged in the giving of such. Attorneys M. Smith, J. B. Archer and W. E. Am. ‘ose appeared for the complatnant, the des fendants being represented by Attorney FE. G. Niles. A It is understood the main Issue involved remains to be tried. —— Date, Set for Trial. The trial of Charles L.
