Included In its bid a sliding scale for lesser
amounts than tho total aggregate with tho
condition, however, that the bid should not
be considered unless 20,000 tons or moro

KRregate nniount Is lower, tho period which

Is much longer twenty-six months against
Ix months, tho tlmo speeded by both tho
Carnegie and Uethlehem companies. This
long period asked by the Mldvale company

In the letters of transmittal that accom
panied tho bids of tho Uethlehem and Car-

department's conditions as laid down in the
advertisement wero "not applicable to tho
production of Krupp armor nnd that the
bidders expect such reasonable modlflca
tlons of tho conditions as would be nec
essary." This means lhat tho Companies
will not allow tho naval officers detailed on
Inspection duty to watch the manufacture of
tho Krupp plates through tho entire
proccwi. Tho companies claim that this was
among tho conditions when the secret of
tho process was purchased abroad.
Tho rates of delivery named by tho sev
eral bidders would make the Mldvale com
pany eight years in furnishing thi armor
for which it bid nnd the other two comna
nics live years each. As the ships aro under

nish the armor to tho builders as they need

would give r!so to numerous claims for

CHICAGO, Aug. 10 William J. Ilryau
will mnke no such extended spcechmaklng
tour of tho country this campaign ns he
did four years ngo. tic will make n number
of speeches, but they will all be in con
nection with special occnslons and not a
part of a general swinging around the cir
cle. That much was determined during the
talks which Mr. Dryan had with tho mem
bers of tho executive commlttco and that
was all which was dctcrmlucd.
The commltteo membership was revised
so ns to give New York state representa
tion on It. Committeeman Head of Tennes
see withdrew, giving ns a reason that ho
had not timo to attend to Its duties, and
Norman K. Mack, proprietor of tho Uuffnlo
Times, national committeeman from New
York, was named In placo of Mr. Head on
tho executlvo committee.
Speaking of his own plans for tho cam
paign so far as they wero determined today
Mr. Ilryan said.
No reeular nrnirnitn of unoeehp hv me
will be mapped out and no special Itinerary
arranged. 1 mIiiiII make n few wpeeehes
during- the campaign. Tho limcH and date
will be announced from time to time ns
they are decided upon. Just now there Is
no announcement of uny kind to make, be

I nni to appear nt any particular p ace the
announcement will be made. There will be
nothing further to give out until another
tlmo and Place are determined upon. ICverv
speech will bo Independent of all others.
Asked if this was meant to Include the
outing of tho Irish societies hero on next
Wednesday nnd that of tho trades unions
on Lnbor day Mr. Dryon said: "Yes, it is
not yet decided whether I shall nppear at
either or both of these occasions."
In response to a question ns to his for
mal letter of acceptance of the democratic
nomination Mr. Hryan replied: "I cannot
say now 'when that letter will be ready.
It certnlnly Is not written yet."
Mr. Hryan expects to remain here until
Monday, at lenst, nnd perhaps longer. Then
ho will go to Lincoln.

WOULD BE RID OF MINISTERS
Chinese (internment I inent In llo
m ii ii l on I1ii-iO)n to Sot Dote
for I.ciivIuk I'cklu.
WASHINGTON. Aug. 10. Tho State de
partment today received another cipher ca
ble dispatch from Minister Conger nt Po
kin, transmitted through the Chinese min
ister nt Washington. It is subfitantlally the
same ns that of M. Plchon, tho French
minister, to his government. Indicating that
the eight beleaguered ministers at Pckln
had sont an Identical note to their respec
tive governments. It, however, gave the
additional Information thnt of ho American
force of marines at Peklu seven hnd been
killed und sixteen wounded. Myers nnd
Llppltt, two of tho wounded, were reported
as doing well. The dispatch told of the
urgent efforts of the Chinese government to
have tho ministers set a date for leaving
Pekln and of their refusal to comply with
out instructions from their governments.
It also urged that the relief forces should
bo large enough to escort not only tho min
isters, but tho largo number of foreigners,
women and children, nnd tho many native
Christians. Some of the expressions were
the sanio as those used by M. Plchon nnd
what difference there Is In the two nun
sages is probably due to translation.
The messago came to tho Chltirno lega
tion at 12.13 vthls morning The building
was closed at tho time, but tho minister was
aroused and came down to read the portion
of It that was In Chlneu-. Most of It. how
ever, was In tho American cipher code and
Its presentation to the State department
was deferred until the department opened j
this morning. The Chinese minister called
at tho department ut 9:15 and handed the
meisage to Secretary Adce, who Immcdl- ;
ntely set about Its translation, it was then
communicated to the president and to Sec
retary Rent and for n time the text was
not made public. Minister Wu appeared
greatly pleased nt this latest opportunity
to bo the medium of communication be
tween the American minister and Wash
ington nnd the worn look of yeslerdny gave
way to a broad smile. Aside from the
contents of the message It gave assurance
that cipher mes?age wero passing freely
nnd that the Chinese government wns carry
ing out this pnrt of Its ngrecmcnt.
The nctlon of tho entire diplomatic corrti
at Pekln In agreeing not to leave their
posts without Instructions from their gov
ernments appears to settle that they will
utHy In Pekln until rescued, utiles.- forced
out by the Chinese, as It hardly Is prob
able that they would be Instructed to leave
In tho face of their own Judgment lhat It
would ho ccrtuln death. There Is a melan
choly heroism In the attitude of the minis
ters, not only in standing together, but In
urging that nny relief sent to them bo
strong enough to give tho same protection
to thcho foreigners nnd native Christians
no so favorably and officially circum
stanced no themselves.
