How that New York bunch have
been batting! They have been weak
in fielding and their pitchers have
been knocked out of the box rather
regularly, but yet the Yankees have
kept on winning by virtue of their be-
ing able to clout the ball, thus verify
ing the old saying that 1t takes base
hits to win games. And chief among
those who have led the onslaught on
the opposing fingers has been Danny
Hoffman, who was discarded by Con-
ME Mack.

KEY MEN REPORT TO C. |. U.
Declare There Has Been but One De.
sertion from Ranks.
Arrangements Under Way for Bene-
Fund-GOmpers to Appeal.

Progress in the telegraphers' strike was
reported by w. P. Beattie. first vice pres
ident Of the International Commercial
Photographers Union. at a meeting Of the
Central Labor Union last night.
In local circles" said Mr. Beattie.
there has been but one desertion since
the strike was called six weeks ago. It
is our determination" he continued, not
20 return to work until we receive our
just dues, irrespective Of whatever Com
missioner of Labor Charles P. Nell, or
other officials may have to say upon the
subject"
President GOmpeTs. Of the American
Federation of Labor, announced yesterday
that the executive council Of the Fedora
ton viii to-day issue an appeal 10 the
two million laboring men enlisted in its
ranks to come to the financial aid of the
striking telegraphers.
Following an extended conference with
President Small, Of the telegraphers. Mr..
Gompers declared that the companies are
badly crippled THE men who are out"
said Mr.. Gompers. and they are the
most skilled telegraphers, will not return
unless there is falr ana nOnOraDle au-
1ustment Of the strike.
The companies are using the mails to
deliver a great part of their business, and
are Sending kilograms in packages to
cities. where they are delivered by mes
senger boys We have indisputable evil
dence OF this"
This assertion was made also by Mr.,
Beattie at the meeting last night. Reso-
lutions introduced by John II. Brinkman,
indorsing Gus A. Schuldt for justice Of
the peace, vice Lewis !. O'Neal, deceased,
were unanimously adopted.
The erection in Washington Of a temple
to be used as a meeting place by the vari-
Gus labor organizations was discussed at
some length. Organized labor 1t was
stated, has grown to such an extent in
recent years as 20 make such building
necessary r. NJ. Ross, n. o. James,
Joseph Clark, William Pollard, and
Charles Ault were appointed commit
tee to formulate plans for the erection of
the building.
1t was announced yesterday that the
telegraphers are planning TO have John
L. Sullivan and Jake Kilrain. doing a
turn on d local stage. appear as attrac-
tions at a benefit performance for the
strike fund some time this week. The
arrangements for the entertainment have
not yet been completed

TAFT MOULD BUILD ISLAND
Still Believes Fertilization Needed
in Chesapeake Bay.
VIII Again Ask Congress for APP
preparation for Improvement
at Capez Henry and Charles.

An item OF $3.0o0.0o5 for the fordhcation
Of the approaches TO the Chesapeake Bay
will be contained in the annual estimates
Of the Secretary Of War 10 Congress in
December.
The money, if appropriated. VIII be
used for the building Of an island be-
tween Cape Charles and Cape Henry, at
the mouth Of the bay, and the erection of
batteries upon H.
An attempt was made to have the last
Congress set aside a sufficient sum of
money for the building Of the island. but
as there were some legal complications
In the way. these were seized upon as
an excuse for refusing the funds. This
difficulty has now been obviated and it
is believed the Military Affairs Commit
tee will recommend an appropriation 10
meet the needs Of this Improvement
The dispatch 10 the Pacific Coast OF
the big feet THAI has been on the At
lantic seaboard will, it is thought, have
a beneficial effect in having the states
men realize that the protection of Wash
ington and Baltimore makes il most inn
perative that some attention be given 20
this important point.
The War Department frankly admits
that the shore batteries that could be
utilized at present al the CapeS would
be of questionable value IN preventing a
hostile feet gaining entrance 10 the
Chesapeake. The distance between the
Capes IS about eleven miles. and the guns
Of longest range would scarcely be effect
| i've. OF course, torpedoes and submarine
| mines would undoubtedly be used. but
| it is by no means certain that these
would prove entirely effective. and II be-
/ comes necessary that some steps be
taken to put the land defenses at the
/ Capes in better condition.
/ The construction of the island would
I go far toward eliminating the danger
there but until Congress acts this must
/ be considered one OF the weakest points
