Jack Doyle is out with an announce
ment that he Will not play ball the conn.,
ing season. Holyoke, his native town,
las gone Democratic, and as Jack is one
of the leading Democrats of the place
he is to secure one of the limited liquor
licenses and open a saloon. This is looked
upon in the line of a nice little bluff.
Doyle wants President Freedman to re-
NIT S176 in fines deducted from his sal
ary upon the last settling day, claiming
that the niagnate had agreed to pay all
his fines, and had done so until the break
between president and player followed.
Mr. Freedman says he will never remit
the money, and doesn't care whether
Doyle ever plays1bail or not, as the deal
with Baltimore had the stipulation that
each club would take chances signing the
players. To offset Doyle, Gleason de-
clares he will not sign with New York.

A Great Communion.

Two OF the greatest Industrial concerns
in this country are the Baldwin Locomo-
tive Works at Philadelphia and the West
inghOuse Electric Manufacturing Com
pany at Pittsburg. They have a capital
of about 100000, and employ more than
1900 men. These two gigantic concerns,
managed by some of the shrewdest and
most far-seeing of business men. have en-
tered into a combination for the develop
ment of the electrical locomotive This
fact is an evidence of what leading men
and firms in the business of equipping
railroads think of electricity as a railroad
motive power.
The combination of the two plants. 1t is
understood, is not in the nature of pool
ing of interests. Each plant win maintain
its present status with regard to general
business. but in the supplying of electric
locomotives and electric railroad equip
meats, they will work together. AS they
are fixed, the Baldwins have one of the
most complete plants IN the world for
the building of steam locomotives, but
they are not prepared to build electric
motors to be attached to such parts of
steam locomotive as would be used in
the construction of an electric locomotiv
The Westinghouse plant is as well pre-
pared as any in the world TO build
electric apparatus, but it has not the
machinery with which to build locomotive
wheels, trucks, springs and the thousand
and one other parts as necessary to an
electric locomotive as to a locomotive pro-
PEELED by steam. This statement will make
plain the general plan of the combination.
1t is said that the agreement also in
cludes the development of Nikola Tesla's
wonderful motor as applied to railway
service It is claimed that the Tesla mo-
tor will develop speed and strength suffi-
cient TO draw a passenger train from New
York to Pittsburg in three hours, or at
the rate of not less than $50 miles an hour.
The Westinghouse people have been work
ing on the motor for some time. and say
the. thing they need now is a truck and
bearings that will stay on the track and
not have TO be stopped because of hot
boxes under such extraordinary speed
The Baldwin people say they can provide
such trucks and bearings; hence there is
possibility of some startling develop
ments in rapid transit from the combina-
ton.
Negotiations between the two plants for
a union of interests in electric locomotive
building are said to have been pending
ever since the Pennsylvania railroad, the
New York. New Haven and Hartford road
and the Baltimore and Ohio road made
such satisfactory experiments with cleo
trical apparatus on some OF their short
lines. and were consummated a day or
two after the announcement that three of
the Chicago trunk lines were making ar
rangements to use electricity as well as
steam on their lines. The idea seems to
be that electricity IS not 20 do for steam.

The Port Royal Dry Dock.

It vas announced few days ago in
our dispatches that the capacity % the
great dry dock at Port Royal was soon
to be tested. Not long ago We called at
tention 10 the report that this dock was
not available for the largest vessels of
our navy. for the reason that they could
not reach II. owing TO the presence Of a
bar off Port Royal harbor upon which
there is said to be only twenty-five feet Of
water a high tide. II We are not mista-
ken some effort has been made to show
that there is sufficient depth Of water on
tins bar 10 permit the entrance 10 the
harbor OF the largest battle-ships au1
cruisers. but as far as we are informed
the effort has not been successful.
The New York Herald makes it a point
to be correct about shipping and shipping
matters. and especially about bars and
harbors along our coast. In its issue Of
Wednesday it mas this to say editorialiy
about the Port Royal dry dock ana the
bar at the entrance to Port Royal harbor:
At an early day the first of the great dry
docks designed 10 accommodate our iar,s-
est battle ships and cruisers will be size 4
Il
situated at Port Royal, 5. c.. should have
been completed long ago. no great harm
has resulted from the delay. for the nat,le
ships are only just ready to be dOckad.
But even though the ships and the dock
had been finished on time, the former
could not have reached the latter. re-
tween the dock and the sea there exists
a bar. uUon which. at the highest the.
there is reported TO be depth Of only
twenty-five feet OF water.
A more absurd situation could hardly TIC
lima gined-a fine dock built at great OK
pense, located IN a spot inaccessible to the
Vessels for which The dock was designed.
The sooner this Jar is removed the Latttr
y es, the bar should be removed at once
but from what can be learned to remove
it woIld cost great deal more than the
dry dock has cost. Our Information t.
that the bar is quite a long distance a.
sea. and IL is so situated as TO make the
entrance to the harbor quite dangerous
in certain kinds of weather. If what is
stated about the bar Is correct, II viii
be a long time before il is deepenel SUI
fciently to permit the entrance to the har-
boz Of battle ships and cruisers of the
largest class, the kind of ships for which
the DRY dock was constructed. Is it not
remarkable that the naval experts should
have selected Port Royal as the site for
a great dry dock without having fu'y in
forming themselves as to whether the
largest vessels of the navy could reach ne
dock after it was constructed? There IS
plenty of water in the harbor. There is
no doubt about that But what particu-
lar advantage is a deep water harbor if
the larbcr cannot be reached?
There is more water on Savannah bar. it
would cost nuch less to deepen the Sa-
vannah bar. Did not the naval experts
make a mistake in not selecting Savannah
instead of Port Royal for the dry dock?
