Senttle May UulUI Tl.m. Seattle, Oct. 4. Auioug the bids for tho construction of six new gunboats opened at the navy department yester day, the lowest bid for two single screw vessels was by the Detroit Dry dock Company, and it was said there would be a question as to awarding tho contract to that firm, because of tho treaty between the United Suites and Onmt Britain, which provides that ships of war cauuot be built ou the (4re.it Lakes, although intended for service on thu sea. This question is already answered. If tho Detroit Dry dock Company secures tho contract, as it undoubtedly will, because its bid is the lowest, the two single-screw gun boats will bo built at Seattle. Thero has been a representative of the com pany in this city for nearly a year, and today ho said that it was tho intention of the company to build shipbuilding yarns neru n nunuoum, - ami his would lie but the start of a big plant.

As the mutter now stands, it is a po litical row between the friends of Gov ernor Culberson and his personal op ponents, of which he has quite a num ber in the legislature. There are ninety-four menibciw of the house and twenty-four senators. Iu the house it is necessary to get eighty-six votes to make thu law go into immediate efloct, and twenty-four votes are necessary iu the senate, Iu the house at the present writing, there are fifteen out-and-out men against putting an emergency clause in the bill, while there are four who are doubtful. This puts the two thirds vote out of the question in the house with its present roster, j In the senate, there are three against the emergency clause and two are doubt ful, which places the bill in danger there also. If a vote was taken now with only the present number on hand, there is little doubt that the emergency clause would bo defeated. Tho administration forces do not pro pose to to come to a voto in tho mat ter, however, until more of their men arrive, and their absentees are expected tomorrow afternoon. The Dallas people also want a delay to gather ad ditional forces, so everybody is pleased to delay the game ut present. Tonight, lobbying is being indulged in right and left, and a strong effort is being made to put the twenty-two pop ulists in the house over to the hglit Bide. lVnry's ireMt Fatlurft Now York, Oct. 8.

Lieutenant Peary and the other members of his party who left Halifax yesterday by rail, are expected to arrive in New York this evening. Professor Dycho, whilo reticent as to the details of tho expedition, admitted that it had been a failure. He declared Lieutenant Peary had not managed to forgo much further north than on his previous expedition, ne wonm not give any reason for tho failure other than the lack of lood. Whon driven back in the first attempt to reach the North Polo, Peary decided to press for ward in 1894. He had buried food in the ice, but oould not locate the cache. He was obliged to kill his dugs oue by one and feed them to others.

Truth says, com menting upon the engagement between the Uuke of Marlborough and Miss Vanderbilt: british inummaa and their daughters will soon be clamoring for protection, if all the prizes iu the marriage market are to fall to American damsels; the muuia for title is inherent in the Anglo-Saxon and it ia vain to contend against it.

The public treasury would thus be well filled with Wlar,, and thegW would remain at home. Thero would be still the diffi culty of finding husbands in the borne market, for the Americans are strongly opposed to becoming rich through their ladies as British noblemen are in favor of this mode of enrichment. " An Insurgent Jc-feat Loudon, Oct. 8. A dispatch to the Globe, published this afternoon, from Madrid, confirms the report from Ha vana, telling of the defeat of the insur gents at Portrere, Las Vergas, near Santa Espiritus, province of Santa Clara.

The government troops only sustained the loss of eleven, including Colonel Rubin. It is further stated that thir teen of the followers of Sanchez after ward surrendered. Mr. Kose's Challenge. New York, Oct. 3. A dispatch to the World from London says: "There is a general impression in the United States that it was due to the Prince of Wales' encouragement that Mr. Rose challenged for the America's cup. The prince returned from the Continent yesterday, and the World correspond ent brought the Times' letter to his at tention. Sir Charles Knollis, the prince's private secretary, tonight sent the following note: "I beg to inform yon in reply to your letter, that the Prince of Wales' name has been used without warrant, and that he was entirely unaware that Mr. Rose had challenged for the cup until he saw it announoed in the news papers."
