WASHI*6TON, June 10.—Circulars Will be issued by the navy department in the course of a few days inviting bids for the construction of three tor pedo boats authorized by the last oon gress. The plans lor the boats have been completed. They provide for the construction of the fleetest craft that Will be borne on the naval list. The minimum speed must not bs less than 20 knots per hour, although it is ex pected from the amount of steam power to be supplied that this limit will be surpassed by perhaps two knots. The new boats will be of 180 tons burden, 170 feet long and 17 feet broad. They will have triple expansion engines and three boilers, giving 8,200 horse power. For their construction congress has appropriated $175,000 each, but as $25, 000 must be retained in the case of each boat for its equipment with Torpedo Tube* and Ordnance, the limit of the available appropriation only $150,000 each. No premiums will be allowed for speed in excess of 26 knots, but there will be penalties imposed for deficiency in this respect, and this may have the effect to increase the amount of the bids. Eastern ship builders are barred in this competition, for by the terms of the act of congress one of the boats must be built on the Gulf of Mexico, one on the Mississippi and one on the Pacific coast, provided bids can be secured from these sections at reasonable rates. Otherwise the navy department may allow the boats to builders in other sections or even build them^at the navy yard. CHICAGO'S INDEBTEDNESS. Mayor Swlfk Propose* to Clear Up Its '•6,000,000 Incubus.
