HOLE IX CONTRACT. Contractors Man Take Their (hen Time City Helpless. A defect in the contract for the cables of the new Manhattan Bridge will enable the John A. Roehllng's Sons Company to take its time in finishing the new cables, and at the Rame timo it tends to stop the city from recovering for not getting the cables done on time and according to contract. The Roebling Company hi the with which the late Frank Croker was Identified, and is In high favor with the Bridge Department under the administration of Oorpe the present Tammany commissioner.

Ex- Just ice Alton B. Tarker's opinion 8s a referee, saying that the city cannot withhold fmm the Uoebling company and interest retained by the Controller because of non-fulfilment of contract, reveals a surprising and exceedingly costly defect in the old Pridge contract, and an equally glaring ona In the contract for the cables of the new Manhattan Bridge. The Bridge of which Xlxon was one. in 1889, estimated that the citywould lose a day by failure of the Roebling Company to finish Its cable contract for the Wmiamatmrg Bridge o-i time. Figured on that bmata.

it would seem that the Bridge Department under CommisJMor Best will cost the city as follows: rifiSi of east between and cable brid-e $2 000 000 at of hrldc- fir at $1,000 a da 600 To this sum may be added the loss of the damages which Judge Parker says the Roebling company need not pay, amounting to more than J2OI The oil cable construction contract with the contained the following clause with reference to damages on account of delay: Paragraph And the paid party of the second part (the Ropblinj: hereby further agrees that th" said parties of the first part Bridge Commissioners) Shall he. and they are hereby authorized to deduct and retain out of all the moneys which may due or become due to the said party of the second part under this agreement, as damages for the non-completion ol Hi- work aforesaid with'r. the time herein specified for its completion, or within the stipulated time to which the same may be extended in writing by said commissioners', herein providf.3. and not by way of penalty, the Bun; of $1,000 for each and every working day time consumed in the execution of tho work may exceed time stipulated for Its completion, or such stipulated time to which the same may be extended by said commissioners as aforesaid, which said sum of per day. in view of the difficulty of estimating damages.

Is hereby agreed upon, fixed ami determined by the parties hereto as tho liquidated damage? that the Mid city will suffer by reason of such default, and not by way of penalty. It -was on the assumption that this was a valid and binding cLause that Bridge Commissioner Lindenthal. a-fter waiting until the contract limit had expired, informed tho Roebling company that a charge of $1,000 a daywould be imposed pending the completion of the cable work. That was about three years ago. The case was heard this year before Justice Parkt-r as referee, the city being represented by James T.

Malone. of Mr. Delany's staff. He did the best he could with a bad case. Chief Kngineer Nichols, of the Bridge Department, whose resignation was turned into Commissioner Lindenthal under pressure two years ago, and who later was appointed chief engineer by the Tammany commissioner.

Mr. Best, testified that the bridge could not have been opened to public use, even if the cables bad been finished. Judge Parker in his opinion holds that, as the bridge could not have been used, recovery of damages would have been a pennlizing of the plaintiff company, and the referee says that the law does not permit such a result. After finding for the plaintiff on nearly all points, the referee says: There is nothing In the contract which says the commissioners are clothed with power to determine whether there was any delay on the part of the plaintiff. In other words, the contract was left with a hole In it big enough to drive through a four in hand, and the plaintiffs ounsel found no trouble in getting through it when the case reached the courts.

"The contract for the Manhattan Bridge cables has temporarily been mislaid." said one of Mr. Delany's assistants yesterday, "but you aresafe in assuming that the paragraph concerning delay is hlmilar to the contract just adjudicated by Mi. Parker." The practical result of the defect is to allow the Roebling company all the time it is disposed to take in finishing the cables, as the contract Is so worded that the Bridge Department is without power to determine whether there has bepn any delay. There is only a small chance that Corporation Counsel Delany will oppose the motion to confirm tke report of thi referee. The city's case is deplorably weak, and carrying the matter further would merely pile up interest and costs.

Tlk discovery of the defect tends stili further to emphasize the remarkable success which has attended th'; efforts of the RoeMing Company In its contractual relations with the city. the Low administration took hold of the Bridg'- Department. Commissioner Undenthal. after Indoraemeat by the leading engineers of ihe couritry. planned to build an eye-bar cable bridge.

£uch a bridge- has been built by fJudapest. and is regarded as a sue. ess. The Board of Aldermen held up the Board of Estimate and Apportionment's appropriation for the bridge, and as soon as MeCleJlan was elected Commissioner Beat, supported by Chief Engineer Nichols, abandoned the eye-bar plans and went back to the wire cable idea. This involved a delay of 1 wo years and an extra cost estimated at SEES HOPE IX DEMOCRACY Parker Saiis Xation Must Be Protected from "Graft" to The IMbSSW.I Cincinnati.

Dr. Nansen, the Arctic explorer, who recently has been so active in Norwegian politics, and Captain Wallenberg, a member of the Swedish Riksdag, who are both in London, declared to-day that their respective countries desired only a peaceful outcome of the present crisis, and appeared to be hopeful of a satisfactory result from the negotiations. Both admitted that the question of the demolition of the forts would be. the only possible cause of a rupture. Dr.

Nansen said that Norway was willing to give up tho new forts near the frontier, but strongly opposed the demand that the new parts of the old fortresses of Frfdriksten and Konssvinper should be demolished, leaving only historic ruins. This question, which is now before the conference. Norway regards (is constituting a critical stage, as Norway would sooner Meht than give up the old fortresses. Kortfc'svinger is far from the frontier and Is important for the defence of the capital. Norway does not menace the Swedish frontier, and, with the exception of Fredriksten.

Norway is willing to yield the outer Baa of forts. Dr. Naneen added that it was quite untrue that Norway had been preparing for war. At the present moment had not more than MM mm under arms nnd niy a few ships ready. Such an absurd folly as war teemed impossible.

The Interborough is said to be wiling to remove its grade crossings at Chatham Square and at Battery Place, as wel! as at if can get the consent of the Rapid Transit Commission to a double decking plan at those places.

A recommendation by State Railroad Commission, based on an inquiry Into Monday's accident, it was said yesterday. might HUHW objection by the Rapid Transit Commission to the company's plans. Members of Rapid Transit Commission said yesterday that they aawssd to the general proposition that grail crossings ought to eliminated.

Mr Rice also said that the elevated railway management had been restrained by a permanent injunction, of several years' standing, from double-decking the structure in Park Row. That injunction was obtained by the Staats- Zeltung."
