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

pany in this city for nearly a year, and

iu the matter.
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.

Lieutenant Peary had not managed to

give any reason for tho failure other
than the lack of lood. Whon driven

London, Oct 8. 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. But the matter ia some

accordance with the simplicity of re
I publican institutions, but, in view of
i the heavy drain, this might be over-
looked, and the parents of any girl
! might be allowed to buy her a title,
say for 200,000 pounds. 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. "

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." Two Thonmrnd Men Go on a Strike.
Columbus, 0., Oct. 8. A special to
