(From a Staff Correspondent.)
WASHINGTON, April l.-(Ppeclal.)-The
Indian office Is thl year making pome
change In the manner of receiving bid
and awarding contract for Indian aervlce
upplte. Hitherto lt ha been customary
for th commissioner to Jslt the ware
house at New York, Chicago. St. LouK
Omaha and San Francisco at different date
In th spring, open the bid there, examine
the sample furnished with the bids and
make the awards. This ha Involved a
rather large expense, and the "spring let
ting" have come to be regarded as a more
or les disturbing factor In the regular
work of the bureau. A he Intimated in
hi annual report for 190R, the commis
sioner deem th Ideal arrangement to be
to take" softie one, warehouse and utilize it
as th point for opening bids and examining
ample, although the other warehouse
would still continue to be used for the
storage of supplies and as sources of ship.
ment to the, field. The weight nnd bulk
of tome of the samples, hoVever, made It
seem Impracticable to send thein on long
Journey, and no effective substitute for
th existing sample system lis a yet been
worked out. The same objection does not
apply to bids. They pa through the mail
freely. Ilka other written communications,
and the work of opening, announcing and
tabulating them Is purely a ministerial
formality. It has been decided, 'therefore,
to have all the bids opened this year at th
Indian office In Washington, and th adver
tlsement announce that they must be sent
to thl city. Th sample will be Bent, as
usual, to the several warehouses indicated
In the blank furnished to bidder.
The dates for opening tho various classes
oi Dia are a follows:
April (Clothing and niece roods.
April 12 Blankets, dy good, hat and
caps, mimea notions, etc.
April 26 'Rubber goods, boots and shpe
hardware, medical supplies.

miscellaneous. I
Maj 8 Rolled barley, beef, 'corn, salt,
coffer, sugar, tea, soap, baklrlg powder and
other groceries.
The openings will be publicly made and
the bids read , aloud at the Indian oftice
In the presence of any bidders or their
representatives who choose to come, and
the tabulation Will be made at once. Th.
eumple, receipt of which will be cut short
wnn tne nour or opening of the bids, will
be opened at the several warehouse on
telegraphic notice from thi office that
the bid haye been read, and a oon a
possible thereafter tha expert examiner
will get to work Upon them and nrenare

appreciated when lt I added that almost
ic not quite uniformly heretofore th ap
propriation for this general purpose ha
been exhausted before the work for th
year ha been finished. The new order of
things under which a deflclt I forbidden
compelled th office thi year to cut down
expense at the- several warehouae so
violently that worthy employe were
thrown out of employment for snm.
months and other, equally or more de
serting, nave suffered' their nav to h.
cut In two as a consideration of th.ir
remaining employed. The service ha been
greatly crippled by this condition nf
thing and th employe who have been
retained have had to work extra h.,H
keep abreast of the requirement. '

THE development of the Steel and Iron Industry is an absolute
romance. No other business has ever plunged forward with
such titanic strides. Indeed, the last thirty years have produced
more Iron and Steel than all the previous years of 'known history
in the entire world. v.
The story of this marvelous development, which covers the
Billion-Dollar Steel Trust, the men creating it and the properties
entering into it, begins in
Munsey's Magazine

ItV gives the complete history of Iron and Steel making in
America from the first feeble efforts in the early days of the Colonies
to the present time. And in this history is incidentally the Story of
a Thousand Millionaires real people of our own country, ' not
creations of fancy. George Washington's father and Abra
ham Lincoln's great-f;reat-grandfather were both iron
masters. The molding and shaping of iron makes men

FRENCH VIEW OF VERDICT

PARIS, April X. Foreign Minister Bo ur
ged at an early date will address the
Chamber of Deputies setting forth th
government's view as the result of the
conference on Moroccan reforms at AI
geclras.
The agreement la hailed with satisfaction
by officials and by the public press, which
wa weary of th prolonged controversy
and the disturbing probability of war,
The view In official quarter Is . that
Franc seoures a fair degree of success on
the principal questions relating to the po
lice and 'state bank. However, it Is reo-
ognixed that neither France nor Germany
has secured all that waa wanted. France'
deslr to have control of the police waa
partially realised In it being allowed to
police th important Atlantic port In
cluding Mogador, whloh Germany waa sus
pected a coveting, and also with it ally,
Spain, to police Tangier and Caaa, Blanca.
On th otliLT hand, it la thought that
Germany's deslr to Internationalize Mo
rocco wa partly realised, aa the Franco
Bpanlah police Is subordinated to an In
spector who will report to th diplomatic
corps. Thus both countries in a measure
wer successful, but each la ao safe-
guarded that neither will be able to claim
a victory. France' pad tie penetration of

- READINO, Pa., April 1. Thl wa an
unusually busy Sunday on th main line of
the Reading railway. Yesterday' product
of the mine of th Schuylkill region,
amounting to 1,000 car load of coal, were
sent out. Many empty care have been
rushed to the Bchuylktll region and these
will be distributed to the collieries early
in the morning in the belief that some of
th mines will be in operation, though
the officials have no assurance on thi
point. Anthracite shipments to th west,
which hav recently been heavy, hav
been topped and th company has .con
centrated ita output entirely in the east.
If the miner fall to report for work In
th morning, I la expected that within
forty-eight hour th -n n In "the coal
carrying trade will be laid off, and thlq'wlll
be followed by curtailment of work at the
hop all, along the main line. Many for

ful canvas among their men to ascertain
whether aay of them were likely to fail
to obey th suspension order tomorrow.
Thi evening they said they were positive
every union man would remsln away from
tha mine. The nonunion men, they said,
will probably report for work, but their
number is hotufflclently large to permit
the operation of any of the collieries In this
district. ' ,
MAHANOY CITY, Pa., April 1. Every
