Chief Engineer Shock ON Naval Re-
organization.
Chief Engineer William H. Shock Of the
navy is a firm believer in the plan Of re-
organizing the personnel Of the navy pro-
posed by the naval board Of which Assist
ant Secretary Roosevelt is president. He
has written letter to Mr.. Roosevelt on
the subject, in which he says:
ION the 18th of this month, fifty-three
years ago, I was appointed an assistant
engineer in the navy. Dnring a portion of
the intervening time 1t was my privilege
to have been actively engaged in two wars
i. e., the Mexican and the rebellion, the
former under CommodoreS Conner and
Perry, the latter under Admiral Farragut.
As engineer-in-chief I served over six
years, retiring at sixty-two under the law.
1 have made these statements they are
matters of naval record) that you may
appreciate the fact that my experience
fully justifies me in expressing the opin-
personnel bill for the settlement of the
vexatious question of line and staff Is,
l believe, the only proposition that ever
emanated from the department that merits
and should meet with success.
During all these years of official life
have been cognizant Of or party participant
in this seemingly never-ending struggle, and
1t affords me great pleasure to congratu-
late you and the board acting under you
of your efforts. The proposition is new
and experimental in Its nature. hence it is
hoped that all parties interested will work
together in harmony for it's final success
keeping constantly in view the best inter-
ests of the public service

RAILROAD TO CABIN JOHN
Result of Proceedings Instituted by the
Great Falls Road.
The Glen Echo is Now Building an
Extension to the Bridge Paral.
leling the Other Road.

A jury of condemnation summoned by
Sheriff Thompson of Montgomery county
upon the application of the Washington
and Great Falls Electric Railway Company
met yesterday at the hotel at Cabin John.
The land which it was desired to condemn
consists of three and a half acres lying
on the eastern sioe OF the Conduit road at
this end Of the bridge. 1t belongs to
the Messrs. Bobbnger, who own the hotel
at the other end of the bridge, and wit
nesses were heard as to the value of the
land 1t was stated by Mr.. Jacob P. Clark.
the president of the Great Falls Railroad
Company, that the company desired the
land for railroad purposes.
Witnesses who were called to testify as
to the value of the land CAV. evidence as
to the effect upon the balance of the tract
owned by the BobbngerS in case this land
was taken, and also it was testified that if
hotel was erecte on this site the busi-
ness of the hotel managed by the Bobbin-
gers would be greatly injured. After hear
ing all the evidence the jury brought in a
verdict that the land was worth, under the
circumstances, S9O,OOO.
Two Roads to the Bridge.
As is well known, the tracks of the Great
Falls railroad extend to what might be
called the southern end of the bridge, 1t
having a right of way through this tract
of land. The Glen Echo railroad uses the
tracks Of the Great Falls from the point
where the road comes out on the Conduit
road to a subdivision known as lakewood.
just above tre ground of the National
ChautauqIa, but about half mile this
side of the Cabin John bridge.
The Glen Echo road has authority to
use the tracks of the other road all the
way to the bridge and, desiring to con-
tinue its lire to that point, those who con-
troll of the road. which, as Is well known. is
a Philade' phia syndicate, represented by Mr..
Gustav Stahl, secured from the Messrs.
Bobbinger the right of way over their land
to the Cabin John bridge, the route being
west of that of the Great Falls railroad
and passing Tear the Conduit road.
In the event that the Great Falls railroad
takes the land under these condemnation
proceedings at the price named, the right OF
way of the Glen Echo road, 1t is said, will
not be available.
1t is not thought, however. that the land
will be taken under these proceedings, and
that there will be two roads running to
the Cabin John bridge, the Glen Echo peo-
pie having already begun the construction
of that section Of the line from lakewood to
the bridge
At the hearing yesterday Mr.. Edward B.
Hay represented the Glen Echo railroad
and Mr.. John Ridout and Alexander Kill
gore the Great Falls railroad.

COMMISSIONER OF PATENTS
Several Candidates Are Already in the
Field.

The contest Is on for the position of COM
missioner of patents, and already there are
several candidates in the field. Not a small
factor in the contest for the position will
be the wishes of the patent attorneys. The
late commissie ner had the unqualified in
dorsement Of the patent bar, and the Pres
ident has irdicated that no commissioner
will be appointed who is not satisfactory
to the patent attorneysy
The selection of Acting Commissioner A.
P. Greeley would beihighIy satisfactory to
the patent lawyers 1pract5cing before the
office Mr.. Greeley came to Washington in
1Ss3 and in the following year, ha ing
passed the civil service examination, was
appointed fourth assistant examiner in the
patent office. His marked ability brought
him advancement. and In 1880 he was put
il charge of separate division and made
principal examiner. Tater he was made a
member Of the examining board, and when
Commissioner Buttefworth was appointed

c. H. Duell. attorney from Syracuse,
N. Y, Is looked upon as a probable sue
cessor to the commissionership. He is a
well-known lawyer IN the patent world and
is said to be fully competent to carry on
the duties Of the Office
Many believe the new commissioner will
be the Presidents old friend, Charles r.
Miller of Canton, Ohio Mr.. Miller was
candidate once before for the office, and
many thought he would capture the prize
then. He is prominent and successful
patent lawyer, and, II appointed, would
bring to the Office marked ability.
The position of commissioner of patents
Is not sought from q mercenary standpoint
that is, rs far as the salary Of the office
is concerned. The position gives the holder
prestige in the patent world that nothing
else can. And after his term Is ended, If he
cares to resume practice. the mere fact of
his having once been the head of the patent
office brings clients.

Has Sent Nine Warships to Chi
nese Waters in Past Week.
ST. JAMES GAZETTE COMMENTS
France Has Also Dispatched Two
More Warships to China.
SITUATION LOOKS WARLIKE

LONDON, January 21.-The st. James
Gazette this afternoon, commenting upon
the dispatch from Yokohama saying that
a fleet of nine Japanese warships will
leave Japan in the course of a week for
Chinese waters, says:
Japan is prepared for war. That, In a
nutshell. is the news from Yokohama to-
day, and it Is really the first news from
Japan since the beginning of the Chinese
crisis. 1t was obvious that the Japanese
government had stopped telegraphic COM
munication, which it never does except
when mobilizing the army or navy. That
is precisely what it has been doing.
Destination IL Wei-Hai-Wei.
1t is almost certain that the destination
of the fleet is Wei-Hai-Wei, and there is
no doubt the movement means that the
status quo in China, so far as Manchuria
and Corea are concerned, shall not be al
tered by Russia or any combination of
Russia's allies, in defiance of Great Britain
and Japan. So long as the defenders pol
icy is equality of opportunity in China
they are in position to enforce their
claims
The st. James Gazette also gives promi-
nence to a list of the ships in the japanese
navy, points out it's immense fighting
strength, and says:
Even with Great Britain a mere SYM
pathetic onlooker it is probable that Japan
could finish Off all the Russian and Ger
man warships east of Suez in short order.
Great Britain, even including the Powerful,
has not vessel in the north Pacific capa-

been ordered to sail Immediately for China
is confirmed. The two ships will sail on
January "a. Monday next. Admiral De
Beaumont has been appointed commander

east. He will hoist his flag on board the
