the transfer OF the Seaboard Air Line to the

+. Ryan, Were practically completed Satur-

Mr.. Ryan first closed the option on the
minority holdings, about 200 shares,
represented by Gen. John Gill, president
Of the Mercantile Trust and Deposit Com

him. He then announced his readiness to
take the ma ajority holdings, held in the
voting pool, represented by Mcssrs. Louis
MtLane OF Baltimore, Moncure Robinson
Of Philadelphia, and L. NJ. Watts Of
Portsmouth, Va, which also included the
interests OF President X. CurZon Hoff-
mann.
About $500 shares are included in this
pool and the agreement was that whenever
the holders of thrce-fourths OF the stock
agreed to part with it that the entire
holding was to go in a block. Mr.. McLane
had secured the consent of the holders of
5000 shares to the sale. but was unable
TO see the remaining holders because OF
his enforced absence from the city.
He desired to secure the consent Of the
remaining owners to the transfer and
asked an extension OF time until Tuesday
Tor that purpose. Mr.. Ryan agreed to
this and left the city. He will come TO

money and the deal will then be consum-
mated.

says that ten minutes after the baltimore
Pittsburg deal was announced he had pur
chased the release from Hanlun of Out
fielder O'Brien. who had been thrown in
by Pittsburg to make good weight.
Patsy Donovan, of Pittsburg, only smiled
whenasked on Saturday W ether he thought
he had been gold bricked'' by Hanlun in
the Stencil Brodie-Donnclly deal He said
later that Brodie's fielding was every bit
as good as Stencils, and that Donnelly's
addition to the infield would be an immense
benefit to the Pirates.
Jack Milligan has secured the release of
Witman's baseball grounds. and, it is said,
will make application for the admission of
Reading into the Atlantic League at the

PLAYING NAVAL CHECKERS
Britain Shifting Her Fleets in War
like Moves.
Concentration of Naval Force on the
Pacific Coast and Frote; t on Of
the Canadian Railway.

Reports received today at the Navy De-
parrment indicate that England is making
4 some what new allotment of her naval
forces with Il view to great efficiency
in case of the sudden breaking out Of war.
Having made Esquiuault and Victoria
impreguable by land dcfenses, the British
war office is now moving TO make the
former one OF the strongest strategic points
in The empire. Private advices from
Admiral Stephenson say the North Atlantic
and North Pacific sQuadrons are to be re-
habilitated at once.
AT EsquiInauit the flagship Impeneuse,
an armored twin-screw cruiser OF S,4Oo
tons, is the only modern vessel. the five
others being two-third-class cruisers, two
sioops and one gunboat
IL is the intention to replace the Sat
elite, one of the thrd-class cruisers, at
once by the Phaeton, second-class cruiser
of 4 500 tons, and at intervals of a few
months each of the others will be re-
placed by n modern steel-armOred cruiser,
heavily armed and speedier than the pres
eut vessels. Three torpedo boat-destroy-
ers will be attached to the flagship.
At Halifax the present fleet will be re-
enforced by the Terrible, one of the enor
nous first-class cruisers of $4,000 tons,
and n similar vessel will come to Esqu-
maulJ with tnre?attan1ant torpedo boat de-
stroyers. This will make Il force of 5000
men at the station there under charge OF
the admiral.
AS to the Atlantic, there will be two fleets
one at Halifax and one at the West In
dies, instead of one fleet summering north
and wintering south. These will comprise
the heaviest naval force maintained by
Great Britain away from home waters, and
the South African fleet may act with these
in either ocean to protect reliable route
should any European power close the SueZ
Canal.
Plans are now being made, it is said, to
provide protection along the line OF the
Canadian Pacific Railroad, whenever great
dana ge or delay might be caused by.action
of q hostile power.
