The report of the commission ap-
pointed by Gov. Black of New York. to
Inquire into the management of the
general canal improvement work under
the 100000 appropriation has been
made public. The report is signed by
bvery member of the commission,
which was composed of four Republi-
cans and three Democrats. The Re

William McEchron of Glens Falls. The
Democratic members are Smith NJ.
Weed of Plattsburg. A. Foster Higgins
and Franklin Edison of New York city.
The commission was appointed for
the purpose of determining how much
money would be needed to complete
the canal improvement work before
any further appropriation was made,
rs well as to ascert ain what work had
already been accomplished and how
the 100000 had been expended.
In making its criticisms of the carry

does not place the blame upon any par

says at least 100000 was improperly
expended in different ways and that
about 81, 500, 900 was expended in doing
work which should have been per-
formed under the ordinary repairs ap-
preparation.
1t is estimated that it will cost s13.-

Drydockins the Texas.

It was high tide at the Brooklyn
Navy Yard at o'clock on the morning
that the lines holding the Texas fast
to the Cob Dock were cast off and two
of the Navy Yard tugs started to tow
her into the timber dry dock. The
tugs Nina and Traffic were used in this
work and the moving of the Texas was
under the supervision of Yard Pilot
Bell, who directed the work from the
bridge of the battleship. 1t took exact
ly fifteen minutes to tow the Texas
from the Cob Dock into the dry dock.
There was ~ feet Of water over the sill
and the Texas drew 20 feet forward and
% feet aft This left between and
feet of water between her keel and the
bottom of the dock, wide margin Of
safety.
AS soon as the Texas was in the
dock the caisson was swung into posi-
ton and powerful steam pumps were
set to work drawing out the water.
There were between five ard six mil
lion gallons of water in the dry dock
at this time and the pumps have ca
pacity of $4,000 gallons of water per
minute. Ordinarily, the pumps can
empty the dock in two hours, but ex-
ira care was taken this time in dock
ing the vessel. and the pumps were
stopped SO frequently to prop the bat
tleship in the exact position, that it
was little more than three hours later
before the last gallon had been pumped
out. The docking of big battleship
of over $500 tons displacement like the
Texas is most delicate job and has
to be done with the greatest care, as II
she rests on the keel blocks out Of her
proper alignment or with the weight
unevenly distributed, it throws such a
strain on her structure that the hull
very frequently bulges, or the frames
are thrown out of position.
AS the water was lowered in the
dock, the foulness of her hull was
plainly visible. There was not a
square inch that did not have fts share
of the clinging barnacles and sea grass,
products Of the tropical growth of Gu
ban waters. This was quickly scraped
and brushed OF and the dockmaster,
who has cleaned many q foul ship, said
to reporter that he bed never handled
. dirtier one.
