OUR NAVAL DRY DOCKS
The Report of the Board OF InspT Tctors .as
to Needed Repairs of Those on the Attain
tic Coast

Washington, October 9.-Secretary
Long today made public the report of
the special naval board charged with
the duty of reporting upon the extent
of the repairs needed by the present
wooden dry docks on the Atlantic
coast, in order to make them immedi-
ately available for naval uses. The
board recommends that all of these
docks, five in number, viz: Two at
New York, one at League island, one at
Norfolk and one a Port Royal, S. c..
be fitted with concrete entrances in
place of those Of timber, and that other
alterations consequent upon this change
be made as described in the report,
mainly in the direction of enlarging the
capacity of the docks and of making
repairs of such a nature as to look to
the gradual transformation of the
docks into solid concrete docks of full
capacity. Tn estimated cost of these
repairs is about $4,000 each.
The board says: 1T is only a ques-
tion of time before all of the tim Der
docks named will have reached such a
state as to be unfit for use, endanger-
ing ships in them from liability to a
sudden ingress of water from collapse
of their structures under the pressures
about them. In all timber docks the
most serious troubles are likely to Oc
cur at the entrances. Defects in other
parts of the docks are usually access
sible and can be repaired so long as
the entrances and aDpurtenanceS be
intact. with such an entrance and
caiSsOn in place, the rest of the Struc-
ture and vessels in it are secure and
repairs to it of any caracter can be
made as required"
Touching the present condition of the
docks: the board says: "All docks ex
amined show a condition of more or
less rapid deterioration of the material
due to it's Derishable nature and, in
certain instances, weakness due to the
lack Of secure fastenings of the TIM
bers. The most rapid deterioration ap-
pears at Port Royal. The dock at Nor
folk is in the worst condition and is
now under expensive repairs. The
three docks at League island, Norfolk
and No. 2, at New York being alike
in dimensions, be enlarged by the same
recommendation. This is that the en-
frances be enlarged to a width of sew
enty-twO feet at the bottom sill, that
the gate or caisson be lenghened cor
respondingly by twenty feet; that the
cross section docks be widened by plac-
it's sides to support the altars above,
and that the new entrance be made of
concrete. All timber in the present
floor of abuttments, except piles, to be
replaced by concrete. The estimate for
making these extensive changes is
1886, $50 for each dock"
The work at Port Royal will be more
extensive than the other points because
of the necessity for supporting more
extensively the wooden affairs from be-
low with concrete walls, but the esti-
mate is still placed at $240, 800.

A Railway Meeting Called

Chicago. October "a call was issued
today for a meeting of the souttea stern
lines to be held in Cincinnati. October
18th, for the purpose of considering
winter tourist rates and the points to
little likelihood that the roads running
east from Chicago will follow the action
OF the northern roads, ard raise the rates
on eastbound grain and -four. They are
of the opinion that too much of this
traffic has been going east by the north
ern routes, and they are not willing to
take action that might result in the loss
of any greater portion of it to them. 1t
is likely that a meeting OF the traffic
officials of the eastern roads will be held
in the near future IT, consider the action
of the northern roads and to decide upon
the best line of action for the roads out
of Chicago to pursue.

The Henry George Combination

New York, October s-After a meeting
of the campaign committee selected by
Henry George had been concluded at the
Union Square hotel after II o'clock to-
night a statement explaining the COM
bination of the George ticket in New
York county, with that of the citizens
union was made public. 1t says: The
purpose of the men associated under the
name of the democracy of Thomas
jefferson is two-fold. Primarily, they
desire to elect Henry George mayor of
Greater New York. To this end they will
insist that every personal interest shall
be subordinated. Secondarily. they pro-
pose to fight with every weapon at their
disposal the domination of the demo-
cratic party of Greater New York by
those un-democratic forces of which
Richard Croker is the personification,
and through the influence of which that
party which in it's essential should be
a party of the people, has become, in
New York city at any rate, the political
weapon of the privileged classes. The
defeat of Tammany is the triumph of
democracy. The defeat of Platt is the
triumph of those who prefer republican
ism, which had it's origin with the men
who nominated Abraham Lincoln for the
presidency of the United States.

Washington, October 9.-Hannis Tay-

Spain, has arrived at Washington. He
called at the state department today
and was in consultation for some time
with First Assistant Secretary Day,
setting out such phases Of theconditions
of Spain as they existed at the date Of
his departure from Madrid as had not
been touched upon in his official reports
before being relieved by Minister
Woodford.
Mr. Taylor called upon President NC
Kinley late this afternoon and furnish
ed him with brief review of the situa-
tion in Spain. In the course of the in
terview, it is believed, he advised the
president of the probabilities of the
recent cabinet change in Madrid effect
ing a change in the Cuban policy of the
Spanish government. He probably will
see the president again before leaving
the city. He has submitted his final re-
port. He will leave Thursday or Fri
day for New York and Boston, and on
account Of the yellow fever, probably
will delay return to his home in Mobile,
Ala, until November.

save the weather, today's game was in
marked contrast to those in which the

here two weeks ago. There was a small
crowd, little enthusiasm, and the game
itself was dull and uninteresting until
