The Military Station to BE Established
on Governors Island.

The Military Station to BE Established
on Governors Island.
In the heart of the city Of New York
the United States is to have one of the
finest military stations in the world,
says a New York correspondent. An
nouncement was made recently for the
perfection Of the plans for enlarging
Governors Island, and the sundry civil
bill will carry an appropriation for
finishing the work. Secretary Root
has been working on this plan for
a long time, and it looks now as If his
labors would be crowned with success.
Governors Island is to be enlarged by
a breakwater and reclamation Of shoal
ground. so that its area will be in
creased from the present slxty-hve
acres to about $50 acres. Docks and
berths will be built, so that the largest
ships and transports can lie alongside
the warehouses and receive or dis
charge cargoes by electrical appli-
ances
The entire terminal facilities OF
New York city will be available for
the handling Of freight, loaded cars be-
ing foated directly into the slips. Sec
retary Root says that when his plans
are perfected the government will
have a station from which AN expedi-
ton OF 5000 men can be dispatched
on transports, fully equipped with ar
tillery, camp outfits, horses, tentage,
etc, in three days. There will be
room on the island for the barracks
and tents of that number OF men, ahd
the transportation facilities of the ne-
tropolis are so great that the addition
oG 10000 or 10000 men to the ordinary
traffic would never be noticed. All this

summoned to his presence to account
for it. At first he was at a loss what
excuse to make, but on being pressed
he declared that a few days before
his last remaining tooth had dropped
out, and that consequently he could
produce no sound from his beloved
whistle.

While the report of the committee Is
adverse to the young attorney and Will
