NOT EO GERMAN
NORTH ATLANTIC SQUADRON
aoINa 10 THE AZORES.
Cordial Invitation Of the Kaiser Re
gretfa1iy Declined-object Of
the Long Cruise.

The Navy Department today made public
a statement to the effect that the North
Atlantic squadron win not visit Germany
this SUMMER. Dis has been suggested In
some quarters. When the summer maneu-
vers were projected the principal feature
framed by the general board was long
distance cruise In fleet formation. This was
entirely new to- the American naval officers
Of the younger generation. for up to this
time there has been little attempt to keep
the vessels in battle line on an extended
cruise. =
The board desired to establish the fact
that it would be possible to take such
body of vessels as the North Atlantic
squadron augmented into the proportions
of a fleet and, with the different types OF
ships included make a successful long
distance run, maintaining from beginning
to end and through all conditions OF wlnd
and weather and day and night an approx.
mately exact distance between each OF the
ships. making sure that every one of them
would be within signal distance through
out a voyage of at least two thousand
miles.
Important tactical results were expected
to follow this great drill.
The Azores the Destination.
The board selected the stretch Of water
between the Chesapeake capes and the
Azores for the run, and it was suggested
that If the ships arrived at the Azores In
good condition and with sufficient coal sup
plies the voyage might be continued as far
as the Spanish peninsula, a favorite place
with the American tars on account of the
indulgence with which they are treated by
the citizens during their shore leaves. How
ever, 1t was finally decided to limit the
voyage to the point first selected. that is,
the Azores. and the Navy Department to-
day made the fact public.
Kaiser's Invitation Declined.
When the report got abroad that the
great squadron was going to Europe. Baron
Sternburg called at the White House and
extended to the President a personal invi-
tation from Emperor William to have the
fleet visit Germany. Now. on account Of
the change of plan the President has re-
gretfully been obliged to decline the en-
peror's cordial invitation in behalf Of the
fleet, also conveying the information for
the benefit of other European nations which
might be interested In the fleets move
ments that the North Atlantic squadron
will not touch at any point on the main
land of Europe
It is possible that, following the usual
custom in summer. when the Mediterranean
becomes warm, at least some OF the YES
sells of the United States European squad
ron will go northward into the North sea,
but this has not yet been arranged.

Special to The Journal.
j New York, Oct. 1.-Vice President and
General Manager B. l.. Winchell OF ST.
Louis and San Francisco, now in New
York makes the first official statement
on the working out of the ROCK Island
Frisco combination and outlines briefly
one or two important plans that the man
agement has under way.
Rock Island intends to make determ-
med bid for the coal trade Of the great
northwest. No other plan Of the system
is more radical or more important than
this. 1t is planned to take advantage
gradually Of the fact that the coal fields
of Illinois are hundreds of miles nearer
to the twin cities than are the coal fields
of the Hooking Valley grades. (, ~,
Frisco will finally operate a 2 grade
line from ST. Louis to New Orleans. be-
ing line with less than half the aver
agesgrade. Of ts.4nost dangsEou s: cempet-
itor, Illinois Central. '-' "T'
These are the two main points brought
out by Mr.. Winchell, who says:
ION the Frisco system we have coal
at seven or eight points. far apart, but
each near an important market. Our most
important coal supply is obtained on the
lines of eastern Illinois and In Green and

Sullivan counties, Illinois. It is the coal
from these two counties that will be
carriedt into the northwest. We believe
that with the advantage Of several hun
dred miles in our favor we should be able
to make this tonnage pretty heavy. say,
well in excess Of 100000 tons per annum.
Previous to the purchase of Frisco by
Rock Island there was no trade in coal
from this territory into the northwest.
The Hooking Valley grades hold the mar
kets to-day. They reach the northwest
by water and rail, from West Virginia
and Ohio BY the purchase of Evans
vile we reach a grade Of coal that we
believe will finally supersede the Hook
ing Valley grades up there =:
1.-The northwest is a. great coal-con-
Stunning country. The cold weather lasts
They all use coal, and nearly all use
soft coal. The domestic supply Of coal
Is necessarily heavier than what is used
for the factories, etc, and it Is to this
demand we shall cater above all others.
1t is not to be understood that there Is
to be any invasion of the northwest II
is simply and solely a carrying out OF the
natural law. that the nearest source OF
supply will be called upon in the long
run to supply the demand, either IN coal
or in any other staple. We expect no
sudden and sweeping change. We look
for a gradual development Of traffic to-
ward the northwest in coal from Greene
and Sullivan counties That Is all.

Arkansas coal to the agricultural regions
