NO NEED OF TWO STATIONS. Government Property at Port Royal
 Not Very Valuable.

Washington January g. = Secretary Moody sent today a communication to the house in compliance with the pro- visions of the last naval appropriations act directing him to investigate and re- port on the value of government property at the Port Royal naval station and the practicability of it's removal to another yard The secretary says among other things:
 'The property of course could be de- voted to the purpose for which 1t was originally designed. It is, however, as sumed that when the naval station at Charleston Is completed, the station at Port Royal will be discontinued There is absolutely no reason for two stations in these waters"
 The value of the land. the secretary says. is much less than it's cost to the government and the dry dock. which has cost $51S,521, has become worthless.

A United States consul in England re- ports to the state department that the crusade against American locomotives in Great Britain and the British colonies continues and that the American build CTS do not seem to defend themselves. He believes that ans English locomotive to be operated by an English driver" should be purchased and have an exhaustive test on American lines in order to settle the question of the superiority of the two types.

run wild in this branch of the busi- ness. Each road is now seeking to outdo the others and a good deal of unnecessary waste is thereby engendered. We agree with Mr. Loree that this sort of expense is to some extent required, but we are inclined to think that the ten dency at present Is to overstep legitimate bounds"
 The Railway Age invites thorough dis cussion of this question. Facts and fig ures show with a large degree of accuracy just what the net results from passenger traffic are. and opinions as to the ways In which the passenger department con- tributes indirectly to the general advan- tage of a railroad properly would be of value.
