Secretary Meyers Proposed New
Navy Yard.

Mr.. Meyer. the Secretary Of the
Navy. does not seem to have found
many things in the navy to his lik-
ing. He has undertaken to make
many chages. and things he has no
power to change he will ask Con-
gress TO change. He has changed
the method Of administration of the
navy yards. and has practically
abandoned a number OF navy yards
and naval stations. or purposes to
do so. There has been much COM
plant lin the South OF this latter pro-
'ceeding. The Secretary has no pow
er to abolish q navy yard or q ma
val station. But he can accomplish
the same result by discontinuing all
work in q yard and leaving it to
caretaker. This. We believe, he has
done in some instances.
change will now be proposed by
the Secretary more ambitious and
more radical than any that has pre-
ceded It. He will submit to Congress
to abandon the navy yards at
Portsmouth, Boston and New York,
and partially abandon that of Phil
adelphia. Then he proposes to con-
struct great navy yard on Mar
raganeett Bay, wher 1t will be free
from obstruction Of commerce and
where there is ample space. This
one yard Is to be constructed upon
scientific principles looking to the
greatest economy in performing the
vast work Of the navy. 1t is said
that none Of the navy yards is con-
structed or arranged according to the
best and most economical methods.
The Norfolk Navy Yard. near Hamp-
ton Roads. Is to be retained and i'm
proved as part OF the scheme, but
1t will be inferior to that on Mar
'ragansett Bay.
Much can be said in favor of this
plan. While 1t may be essential to
have navy yards and naval stations
at certain intervals aong the line cf
the United States. so that one NAV
be accessible to ships wherever those
ships may be along the coast, there
does not seem to be any need Cor
yards so close together as those at
Portsmouth. Boston, Brooklyn and
Philadelphia. 1t Is claimed that the
present yards could be sold for n.ar,v
enough to buy the land and equip a
new one.
Hampton Roads, however, would
possess many advantages over Mar
raganset Bay as the seat Of the
principal navy yard. 1t is juts about
midway the Atlantic Coast of tho
United States and would be more &C.
cessible for the navy. But it's prin-
cipal advantage would be in the cli-
mate. Much of the work of a navy
yard. especially In shipbuilding. must
OF necessity eb outdoor work. For
this the climate Of the New England
Coast Is too severe during a great
part Of the year. On Hampton Roads
outdoor work is practicable nearly
all the winter.
While, as we have said, there Is
much to be urged in favor of Secre-
tary Meyers plan. he will probably
encounter In Congress the united op-
position OF the delegations from all
the States from which a navy yard is
proposed to be removed-New Iiamp-
shire. Massa husetts. New York and
Pennsylvania That opposition will
be hard to overcome.--Baltimo Sun

Mondays Ball Game

The Ft. Seward baseball team came down on the City of Seattle, arriving Monday noon and in the afternoon played and won as exciting a game as local fans have seen this year, from the Douglas team by score of 5 to 4.
 From the time of the umpire's com mand to "play ball" the players on both teams were on their toes and fought hard until the last man was retired. Chambers and Curtis pitched high class ball, the latter being very effective in pinches, especially in the sixth and eighth innings, when with the bases full and no one out, the locals were unable 10 score. Kalal made the first run for the visitors in the first inning, but Douglas evened the score in their half, Hurlbut scoring. Fast fielding in the second, third and fourth innings prevented any runs, but in the fifth the soldiers put one over, Kentish scoring on hit and an error. Hurlbut, by clever base running and Coughlin's hard drive, tallied in the sixth. Con way added another in seventh, but the soldiers evened up in the eighth.
 In the ninth the visitors took lead of two runs in their half, McMahel and Kentish getting home on errors. Cham bers, first man up for Douglas, hit for three bases, and scored on wild pitch, but the next three batters were retired in order and the stuff was off. AL though it was not general holiday on Douglas Island, the game brought out good crowd of rooters. The score:

NEW Il OFh; WAY y, 1111.
With very few visitors from outside
manufacturing points, the leaf market
spent, generally speaking, humdrum
week. Sales there were, but mostly in
very small lots, if we except one deal
of l, 900 cases of old Wisconsin which
was well-nigh forgotten ultimately to
be taken up by one of our largest man
ufacturing concerns. A fair amount of
interest is being exhibited in New Eng
land binders owing to the shortage
which inevitably followed the raid on
the ne Wisconsin, now, ruck and all,
completely out of the market. Filler
types are selling little, but just
very little easier with shade of real
activity among the Western houses for
choice packings of the 1910 Pennsyl-
vania The Sumatra situation is cas-
ing. While no sensational selling has
been done by any of our large import
ers of the standard wrapper, inquiries
are more numerous and actual sales
more readily made 1t is dawning upon
some of the manufacturers who were
staggered at the prices asked on the
first showing of samples that the pace
set by European competition must be
met in an equable frame of mind by
the trade on this side of the Atlantic.
And everybody extolls the new crop.
So common sense dictates that what
everybody likes will soon pass into cir
culation, especially if bidding at the in
scriptions maintains the keenness dem
onstrated yesterday, when what was
anticipated as probable easy oppor-
tunity to get profitable run of stock
developed into a scramble for parcels
of suitable quality for this market and
a regular raid by the big manufactur
ing concerns on the most highly -prized
marks. Lack of material to offer is
keeping the Havana people sucking
their thumbs and it will be relief
when the new crop, good, bad or indif
ferent, commences to figure in the i'm
porters' sales. journal.
