We know nothing of the basis upon which the British bids were made, but the public is entitled to know the facts upon which we ourselves bid for this work. Two years ago we took contracts to make 4,200 14-inch shells at a price 000 (with heavy penalties for delayed delivery).

Despite the fact that all our experience, and facilities have been strained to fulfill these contracts, up to now not a single shell has been accepted by the Government, although, on the work already done, We have expended in wages, materials, etc 447,881 Expended in making tests for the Government 75.000 our total actual expenditure up to dale 522,881 And we have not received a SIN'GLK DOLLAR on these contracts In addition literal enforcement of the contract might involve payment of penalties for delayed delivery already amounting to 5618,016. Navy Department tests are now so severe that neither we nor, so far as we know, any other manufacturers have yet been able to produce in quantity 14-inch shells which will meet them. In the light of our experience, and having no other basis, we bid for 1 6-inch shells approximately the same rate per pound as that upon which the Navy Department actually awarded a 14-inch shell contract one year ago.

The weather was fair in the West and Northwest. The heaviest snowfall in the East was recorded at Portland, Me, where six inches fell.

The official measurement of the fall in this city was four inches, some of this being rain. Temperatures were higher in the Eastern States and lower in the Western portion, with zero temperatures extending north to Kansas. Montana and North Dakota were in the coldest zone, it being 26 below zero at Moorhead, Minn, the lowest report or the morning. Greenville.

NE OF HEAVIEST SNOWS 'N NORTHWEST IN 20 YEARS ST PAUL, Minn, Jan 22 This and other cities of the Northwest set about today clearing away the result of one of the heaviest snowstorms in 20 years, which yesterday covered Minnesota, Wisconsin and South and North Dakota with from 2 to 17 inches of snow. A wind that reached a velocity of 42 miles an hour piled the snow into huge drifts, which impeded all traffic.

Some trains still are stalled in great banks of snow. A sharp drop in temperature followed the cessation of the storm and subzero weather prevailed today. Many public schools in Minneapolis and other cities were closed today because pupils could not reach the buildings. STRIKES OFFSHORE Large Pollock School Leaves Gloucester Coast Newfoundland' Herring Fleet Hourly Expected GLOUCESTER, Jan 22 The large pollock school which has frequented this section during the past four months has struck offshore. Some of the skippers are preparing to go further east and make the landing place at Portland.

Up to present the amount of fish landed has been double that of other years and the prices have been the highest on record. The arrivals yesterday were: Steamers Lucia, 3000 pounds; Bettina, 5000 pounds; Mary Ruth. 4uu0 pounds; Robert and Edwin, 5000 pounds; Quoddy, 8000 pounds; Sawyer, 3000 pounds; Lorenzo. 2000 pounds; Quartette, OOOO pounds; Margaret 8000 pounds; Julia May, 4000 pounds: Wenonah, 3000 pounds; Ethel, 7000 pounds; Anna 3000 pounds; Philo-mena. 10,000 pounds: Little Fannie, 2000 pounds; Bethulia.

7000 pounds; Enterprise, 12,000 pounds; Naomi Bruce, 5000 pounds. A number of the Newfoundland herring fleet are hourly expected, as several have been reported loaded at Bay of Islands and sailed. During all last week heavy adverse winds and extreme cold prevailed, which has retarded their progress. Orders for this fish have been pouring in, surpassing anything in the history of this trade. The present is the hight of the bloater season and dealers from all parts of the country are sending in orders for a supply, only to find that the orders cannot be filled.

Owing to a European shortage the demand for the Scotch cured is verv active from New York and AVestern sections. Advices from Newfoundland report a fairly good pack at some sections which is waiting transportation to New York and Western markets. No frozen herring are yet in evidence and it is doubtful if any will be received. The weather is reported mild at the Newfoundland herring haunts, with no ice yet in sight from any source. The lateness of drift ice making appearance around the Newfoundland coast line is unprecedented, a condition never before seen by experienced Gloucester fishermen.

In the kitchen the policemen found Joseph Cloutin and Alexander Carlo busy chopping meat for an early morning breakfast special, and the mstery was solved.

TRAINING IN WOOD LIFE Boy Scouts and Any Others VVhj Wish to Have Teaching From Old Maine Guide In an effort to establish itself more strongly artiong the boys of Greater Boston, and to give its present 4000 members valuable training which will enable them to take care of themselves in the open, the Greater Boston Council of the Boy Scouts of America is planning to demonstrate for the next 10 weeks or three months what to do when one is in the woods.

is, the innocent cause of the unexpected predicament in which the city finds itself. A few days ago the Commissioner of Public Works received a bill for 131 pints of milk at 5 cents a pint, which, it was claimed, was furnished th cat by the night janitor. The present night janitor, John J. Fallon, is responsible for the cat, but not for the milk bill. Mr Fallon is proud of his cat and claims she has saved the city hundreds of dollars.

Several years ago. when Mr Fallon first came to City Hall as night janitor, he found that rats were stripping the backs and covers from the city documents. Even the law books in the city solicitors office were not respected. Traps failed to do any good and the rats grew fat and increased their appetites on rat poisons. Ore wet night janitor Fallon found a disconsolate kitten in the gutter near City Hall.

The kitten was too weak to ofrer resistance, although with her mouth she showed her fear of human beings. Evidently the poor animal had been terribly maltreated, for she spat and hissed and tried to scratch. Jack Fallon took the kitten into the boiler room of City ilali. dried her fur, gave her warm milk and eventually brought the kitten back into shape. In course of time Snookums repaid for ail the kindness bestowed on her.

She cleaned the hall of rats arid mice and each one killed she brought in to the fireroom to, show the night janitor. For six years janitor Fallon brought meat to the cat every night and she became a fixture at City Hall, visiting all the offices at will and at times occupying the press table at City Council meetings. A year ago janitor Fallon lost his job through politics and had to leave City Hall. He saw no more of Snookums until he was reinstated a week ago. As he walked down the corridor he was met by Snookums, who came running up out ot the boiler room at the sound of Failon's steps, whicn she seemed to know.

Shortly after the departure of the janitor who took Fallons place, the city got the bill for 131 pints of milk for the cat. Mayor Whiton said today that the cat belonged to janitor Fallon, although she had worked for the city for several years. Janitor Fallon, when interviewed by the Mayor, said he had never charged the city for the food he brought to the cat. However, the bill is in and the Mayor says he thinks he will refer it to the Poor Department or the Board of Managers of Burial Places. were adopted bv the other States' in The Union, including the Christian En deavor movement and the National Womans Missionary Society.
