Recommends That Union Iron Works Be Awarded One Sheathed and One Unsheathed Armored Cruiser. CALL BUREAU, 1406 STREET, N. WASHINGTON, Dec. Long will receive to-morrow the report of the board of construction regarding the distribution of contracts for battleships and armored cruisers.
The board will recommend that contracts be given to these Arms: Fore River Engine Company of Quincy, two unsheathed battleships at $6,810,000. $3,405,000 each; total conWilliam Cramp Sons Company of ship at $3,600,000, one sheathed armored Philadelphia one sheathed a battlecruiser at $3,890,000, one unsheathed armored cruiser at total contract price, $11.270,000. Newport News Company of Newport News, one sheathed battleship at $3,593,000, one sheathed armored cruiser at $3,885,000 and one unsheathed armored cruiser at total contract price, $11,253,000. Bath Iron Works of Bath, one sheathed armored battleship at $3,590,000. Union Iron Works of san Francisco, one sheathed armored cruiser at $3,800,000 and one unsheathed armored cruiser at 000; total contract price, $7,550,000.
The construction of the eleven battleships and armored cruisers will cost the Government $40,473,000. The limit of cost fixed by law was 750.000. Having determined that exceptions made in the case of sheathed battleships must be paid for out of appropriations for these vessels it would be necessary for Secretary Long to enter into negotiations with firms under which they will agree to provide excepted articles within the limit of the appropriation. It may be necessary. consequently, to pay $6.300,000 to the Bath Iron Works instead of $3,590,000, and $3.600,000 to the Newport News Company instead of $3,593,000.
Exceptions made by the Cramps, Bath Iron Works and News companies averaged in cost $150,000 each, so that the awarding of contracts for sheathed battleships to these firms will necessitate an important reduction in the amount of their bid. PUT DROPS IN A GLASS OF BEER Charles Turner and Herman Isaacs Held to Answer on a Felony Charge. The use of drops" for the purpose of robbery has been of such frequent occurrence recently that the Police Department asked the Board of Supervisors to pass an ordinance making it a misdemeanor for any one to be caught with them in his possession, and it was also decided to ask the Legislature to pass a bill making it a felony. Warrant Clerk Peery about a week ago discovered that there was a section in tne Penal Code which made it a felony "to mingle poison with drink with the intent that the same shall be taken by any human being to his injury." Charles Turner and Herman Isaacs had been arrested for putting "knockout drops" in a glass of beer that was to be drunk by a man whom they had taken into Lowenthal Cohen's saloon, 90 Third street, on the night of November 24. They were observed by the bartender, who notified Charles Cohen, one of the proprietors, and he seized the glass of beer and ordered the men out of the saloon.
The glass of beer was sent to the police and by them to the City Chemist, who reported that there were forty grains of chloral hydrate in the beer, enough to put several men to sleep. The preliminary examination of Turner and Isaacs was held before Judge Fritz yesterday and he held the defendants to answer before the Superior Court on the felony charge in bonds of $2000 each.

ORPHEUM PROPERTY MAN A VICTIM OF PNEUMONIA Frank Damon, Who Has Done All Kinds of Stage Duty, Passes Away. NE of the familiar figures of the Orpheum. stage, master Frank property G. man, Dehas passed away. He took cold last week; Monday night he left the theater with the intention of going home to take some medicine; Tuesday night he was reported absent and on the sick list; yesterday the cold developed into pneumonia and last evening at 6:30 he died.
Every one who has been to the Orpheum in the last six years knew Damon, or "Props' as he was called, at least by sight. He was the man who came out after a smasil of crockery and swept up the pieces, or cleared the stage for the next part of the act. He was tall and lank, and after the gallery grew to know him he received as much applause for the manipulation of his broom as the vaudeville stars did for the acts, of which he and his office were a kind of finale. And whenever a company came along with a sketch or an act and needed a third or a fourth or an extra man of any number he was called upon and helped make up the cast. He was the policeman who arrested the escaping villain; the butler who carried in the card; the servant who announced the dinner or who told the husband of the wife or told the wife of the husband; or the cabman who brought the hero home, or anybody and everybody who happened to be needed.
And when Damon was not on the stage he was making a thunder storm with a plate of sheetiron or a barrel filled with rocks; or he was alternating his thunderbolts with flashes of lightning, or perhaps was a troop of horses galloping wildly across the stage. All these things fell to him in the line of his duties and he Alled them all with the readiness and aptitude of a man blessed with the sunniest of characters. Damon made a hit of his own a year ago when he appeared as the clown with Caron and Herbert. acrobats, and he made another as the policeman in the sketch presented by Rice and John. "He was always there with his cue," they say of him, and they mean more than merely that he was on time.

GRIGGS ARGUES ON THE CONSTITUTION Attorney General's Contentions in the Porto Rico and Philippines Cases. WASHINGTON, Dec. United Court was again crowded to its full capacity to-day to hear the concluding arguments in the cases involving the status of Porto Rico and the ippines. Among those who secured points of vantage in the area reserved for the bar was Judge Day, who. as Secretary of State during the critical stages of the war with Spain, and later as head of the American commissioners who negotiated the treaty of peace at Paris, was one of the most influential factors in shaping the conditions now under discussion before the court.
Judge Day gave attentive ear to the argument of the Attorney General, which took up the events following the treaty of peace and maintained the right of the Government, pursuant to that treaty and to the constitution to follow the bill of action which has been taken in these cases relative to the Philippines and Porto Rico. Near Judge Day sat former Secretary Carlisle and other promInent members of the bar and of the two houses of Congress, while the small circular area open to the general public was filled with spectators. Attorney General Griggs, who began the Government's presentation yesterday, had four hours remaining, and he consumed the entire day, leaving the close, by Charles H. Aldrich, on the Philippine case, to be presented to-morrow. Griggs spoke In the calm and argumentative style adopted yesterday, occasionally, however, throwing great earnestness of voice and gesture into the assertion of the Government's right to pursue the policy thus far taken.
The Attorney General elaborated the points enunciated yesterday. One of these to which special attention was given was the distinction between organized territories and unorganized territory under the Jurisdiction of the United States. Justice Brewer had asked the Attorney to make clear his views on this distinetion. Griggs took up territory after territory which came under the operation the laws of the United States by an act of Congress specifically extending the laws to the territory and not ex proprio vigore. He said that while Rhode Island and South Carolina stood outside of the Union they were treated as foreign States and when they ultimately assented to the Union Congress passed a law extending the revenue laws to them.
Vermont had, prior to its admission as a State, been a part of the territory belonging to the United States. If the revenue laws were applicable to the territory of Vermont, proprio vigore, it was an act of superrogation to extend them to the State. In the case of Louisiana, the Attorney General pointed out that all the declarations of Jefferson were to the effect that in order to come under the operation of the laws of the United States those laws must be explicitly extended to new acquisitions. Jefferson selected certain acts to be immediately extended and others to be extended from time to time as might be found practicable. The Attorney General directed attention, in tne instance of the acquisition of Florida, to the fact that three American statesmen, Monroe, John Quincy Adams and Andrew Jackson, each of whom was elected President of the United States, united in declaring officially that the constitution did not apply of its own force to territory newly acquired by this nation, by virtue of the act of acquisition, but that such extension must be accomplished by the action of Congress.
Griggs also specified the territorial organization of Oregon, Missouri, Montana and Wyoming, in each case showing that Congress extended the laws to these territories. Finally as to the extension of laws to the territories Griggs said that by act of Congress in 1874 Congress had expressly extended the constitution and Federal laws to the "organized territories" and to every territory "hereafter organized," but the act went no further than "organized and could not be interpreted to mean that expanse of country entirely unorganized. The guano islands were cited in support of the proposition that territory may belong to or be under the jurisdiction of the United States without being a part of the United States. Over seventy different islands, keys and groups of islands have been thus taken possession of and made for such special purposes the property of the United States. They enJoy certain privileges under the law and the United States Supreme Court has recognized their status, but they are not a part of the United States.
Turning from his books, Griggs exclaimed in impassioned tones: "Why should this Government be considered to have less freedom of action in this matter than other nations? What clause of the constitution 50 compels? Why are we SO tied and bound that we are never to secure the fruits of victory, never to acquire an island of the sea, a belt across the isthmus, a station for a naval base, unless at the cost of admitting those inhabiting the soil to full rights as citizens of the United States; whether they be cannibals or savages, granting them the glorious potentiality of being a part of the people of the United States? Did our forefathers hamper us like that? If so, this constitution is misshapen as Richard the Hunchback, sent into this world before his time, scarce half made up, and that so lamely and unfashionable that nations laugh at us as we halt Justices Brewer and Harlan asked a number of questions. Justice Brewer asked if the Attorney General held that as Congress extended the constitution and laws to the organized territories, Congress also could take them away from the territories. Griggs answered that this was a most serious question, but he thought it safe to say that when the laws were once extended to territories an inviolable contract was created and could not be broken. Justice Harlan asked the Attorney General to state later on to what extent Con- to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to to AWARDED A BIG BRICK CONTRACT Tunnels of Bay Shore Road Will Be Lined With Coast Material. San Francisco Brick Company Will Manufacture Fifty Million Bricks for the Southern Pacific.
A record-breaking contract has been let by the Southern Pacific Company to the San Francisco Brick Company, of which Gray Brothers are the owners. By the terms of the contract the firm is to furrish the railroad 50,000,000 bricks, be used in tunnels of company, the bay shore road, to run through the hilis of South San Francisco. The manufacture of this great number of bricks is a matter of great moment to this city, as they will be the product of a San Francisco firm, which means the distribution of a large sum of money among this city's laborers. To meet this great demand it has been made necessary to install an almost entirely new plant, as the brickmaking machines possessed by the firms located in this city are not of sufficient capacity. Heretofore the largest number of bricks turned out in one day has been 30,000.
With the modern machinery which is now being installed at the works of the San Francisco Brick Company 125,000 can be made in one day. The brick to be used are known as the "stiff mud, wire-cut' variety, and they are far superior to the "soft mud." This is the largest contract ever entered into for the manufacture of brick not orly in this country but in the world. It will require more than a year to manufacture the building material, and to furnish the brick in this length of time requires that the capacity of the works be reached daily. DISCHARGED SOLDIER A VICTIM OF SHARKS Methods of Agents Who Haunt the Presidio to Be Exploited in Police Court. Carey Straw, a discharged soldier, who arrived here on the transport Logan from Manila about two weeks ago, swore to complaints before Judge Cabaniss yesterday afternoon charging H.
Levy, proprietor of the Golden Gate Tailoring Company, 1470 Market street; F. L. Hey woods, an agent for the company, and "John Doe." an employe of the company, with grand larceny. Straw belongs to York County, Pennsylvania, and while at the Presidio he says he was approached by an agent of the Golden Gate Company, who took him in a buggy to their establishment on Market street, where he was torced to buy a suit of clothes, but as he was unable to pay for the suit they took possession of his discharge papers and his railroad ticket to Pennsylvania, which cost him $58. Straw complained to the police yesterday and Detective Cody was detailed to interview the tailoring company.
He did so and the members admitted that they had the ticket and discharge, but refused to give them up till paid for the suit. Straw also complained that a man known as who haunts the Presidio, took him downtown Monday and when he woke up next morning all his money was gone. He had $160 when he started out Monday morning. The police will endeavor to locate "Judge." THE REV. FATHER LAGAN UNITES HAPPY COUPLE Jamieson-Fay Wedding Takes Place in the Parlor of the Fay Residence.
One of the prettiest home weddings of the year was the marriage last evening of John Jamieson, a young traveling man, and Miss Clara Fay, niece of Philip Fay of this city. The wedding took place at 834 Grove street and the ceremony was performed by the Rev. Father Lagan. The maid of honor was Miss Edna Fay and Philip Fay acted as best man. The parlors were beautifully decorated for the occasion.
The ceremony was strictly private, only the relatives and a few of the intimate friends of the couple being present. At the close of the wedding ceremony a supper was served. Mr. and Mrs. Jamieson leave for the East to-day, where they will permanently reside.

CHARTER PERPETUAL. 1900-JANUARY-1900 gress could impose a tariff to be collected against goods coming from New Mexico, Arizona and Alaska. Justice Brewer alSO reminded Griggs that Oklahoma was not included in the treaty taking in the Louisiana and Mexican territory, and was an apparent exception to the rule stated by the Attorney General. Griggs said that Congress at its last session in effect declared that the existing tariff laws were applicable against the goods Porto Rico. This was in the act of last" March, remitting to Porto Rico certain duties collected "under existing laws." This, Griggs declared, was an assertion by both branches of the present Congress that the tariff act, was the "existing law," operated agafnst Porto Rico.
Justice White asked the Attorney General if he claimed that Congress could so exempt territories from the laws as to give them privileges not enjoyed by the States. Griggs responded that he did so claim; in fact, the territories had been for years exempted from internal revenue and direct taxes. The Attorney General referred to the celebrated case Loughborough vS. Blake, whereupon Justice Harlan, reading from that decision, asked Griggs what Chief Justice Marshall meant in saying: "The power to lay and collect duties, imposts and excises may be exercised and must be exercised 'throughout the United Griggs said "throughout the United States" referred to the States of the Union; but Justice Harlan pointed out that it referred also to the District of Columbia and the territory west of the Missouri. Griggs closed his, five hours' speech with a brilliant eloquent peroration.
"I am here in a feeble and humble way." said he, "to support the executive and legislative branches of the Government in dealing with these momentous questions. Throughout I have felt a serene confidence that nothing I have advised, nothing the Government has done, has been without its precedents and forerunners from the most illustrious of our forefathers, from Jefferson, Jackson, Madison, Gallatin and from the great Chief Justices of the past; that nothing has been done but which tended to the great exaltation and extension of our country and the Improvement of the people coming under our control." Instead of seeking strict and narrow constructions, he said, the powers of the executive and legislative branches had been so construed as to give them a wise and safe discretion, SO that the day would be hastened when we might give to these new peoples self government and to some of them, perhaps, a place in the galaxy of States. Court adjourned as soon as Griggs finished. Mr. Aldrich will close for the plaintiff in the Philippine case to-morrow and the cases will then be submitted.
