Meyer of many of the navy yards and naval stations are apparent in certain sweep ing recommendations for the abolition of some of these and the development of others, as set out In the secretary's annual report Just made public. - Secretary Meyer recommends giving up and disposing of the naval stations at New Orleans, Pensacbla, San Juan, Port Royal, New London, Sackett's Harbor, Culebra and Cavlte. He finds that the average yearly cost of main taining these stations for the past five years has been J1.672,675, while very little useful work has been performed therein. „ , - . .. • Touching the New Orleans yard, It Is said that its position 100 miles up the Mississippi river ..is such that In time of war no large vessels should be sent there on account of the danger of the passes being blocked. The Pen sacola navy yard is condemned as im possible of fortification and as strate gically unnecessary. The secretary thinks that the gulf and south Atlantic coasts can best be defended by an ef fective naval station at Guantanamo, Cuba, where the emergency docking and repair facilities should be pro vided at an expense of about $300,000 or $400,000. TOO FEW DRY DOCKS Because the Boston, New York, Philadelphia and Norfolk yards have accessible dry docks, of which we have too few, it is found impossible to give up any of them. Port Royal has a dry dock unap proachable for battleships or even cruisers, and the Charleston dock is useless lor battleships or cruisers, as the channel fills In opposite the docks at the rate of from three to toft feet a. year. _,' a on the Pacific coast Secretary Meyer finds the Bremerton yard at a disad vantage through Its lack of railroad communication and Its distance from any large supply of labor. But its further development Is regarded as a necessity, In view of the fact that the fleet at some time after the opening of the Panama .anal may be based, in the Pacini-ocean! ..„„„ The Mare island navy yard is very severely criticise^ for its.inaccessibil ity, both on account of its great dis tance from San Francisco and the shal lowness of the channel. The muddy water of the San Pablo bay is also said to work havoc with the condensers of the warships. No battleship injured in action could be taken to Mare island even for temporary repairs, nor could the yard be reached by a number of the heavy battleships or heavy cruis ers even when uninjured. But as »14, --000,000 already has been spent on this yard the secretary thinks that In order to avoid a total loss It would be wise to utilize it for such vessels as can reach it and also for such manufactur ing and repair work for the larger ves sels as can readily be sent to the navy yard and returned to the vessels lying in San Francisco bay. NEW REPAIR YARD NEEDED Looking to the future he says that it will be necessary to establish a dock ing and repair station for. battleships on San Francisco bay in some locality yet to* be selected, and meanwhile the fleet must depend upon Puget sound, although there should be more than one yard available. - Following the established policy in the matter of annual naval construc tion the secretary recommends the au thorization of two battleships, two col liers, one gunboat, one river gunboat, two j seagoing tugs, four submarines and one 'submarine tender. The secretary, urges strongly the passage of the personnel bill now pend ing before congress, which will insure rapidity of promotion and the acces sion to the higher grades of the service of a limited number of officers, espe cially qualified. He also requests the creation of grades above the present rear admirals so as to conform to for eign naval practice and sound, admin istration. . . - Referring to the success of Aviator Eugene ,'Ely in his flight from the cruiser i Birmingham, the secretary says that It appears to be practicable also for an aeroplane to board a ship. He requests an appropriation of $25,000 to continue the aeroplane experiments. —- ■ - - ■ - ■ *i CHINA COAST LINERS . NOW FLOAT OLD GLORY Shipping in Far East Reaches * Critical State WASHINGTON, Dec. 4.—The unusu ally critical, state of 'shipping business in; the "far east has been brought ito the attention of commercial interests, as a result of a transfer from the Brit ish to the American flag of certain ves sels of the China & Manila steamship company, which has been operating a line of stSamers between Manila and the South China coast for twenty-five years. /'.'.- - According to a-• report v from Consul General George E.

Who Break Up Conference PEOPLE DISLIKE GOVERNMENT Apprehension Prevails at Presidio and Candelaira—Gen. Plata to Be Removed (Associated Press) CHIHUAHUA, Mex., Dec. Mem bers of the peace commission returned to this city- today and reported their work was greatly embarrassed by the fact that soldiers followed at their heels. At Guerrero, Just as they were beginning to talk with the lnsurrectos, a peon arrived with word that soldiers were on the way, whereupon the meet* ing promptly came to an end. At Guerrero and also at San Antonio the commissioners were told the main grievance is against the state govern ment, rather than against Diaz. Today telegrams were exchanged with the capital with reference to the proposal that the government forces be halted pending another conference be tween the commission and lnsurrectos. Seemingly authentic reports tonight state that Guerrero has been taken by the revolutionists with a small loss,of life. It is reported Gen. Plata, com manding this military zone, Is to be succeeded by Gen. Juan Hernandez im ; mediately. A telegram " from Marfa, Tex., to night states that apprehension, prevails at both Presidio and Candelaira, ninety miles south on the Texas side of the river, owing to the revolutionary dis orders reported from the Mexican side. Nothing definite has yet been learned of the reported lighting at Ojinaga Saturday night. Firing has been heard at Intervals, but so far as' can be learned there has been no loss of Hie. The few Americans living along the river at Presidio and Candelaira have been standing guard to prevent an In vasion, and there is a strong demand that the government send troops to their relief.

Mrs. Mary Baker Glover Eddy, discoverer and founder of Christian Science, is dead. Announcement of the passing of the venerable leader, which occurred late last night at her home at Chestnut Hill, -was made at the mornlg service of the Mother church In this city to day. "Natural causes" explained the death, according to Dr. George L. West, a dis trict medical examiner, who was sum moned a few hours after Mrs. Eddy passed away. Later Dr. West added that the more Immediate.causo proba bly was pneumonia. The Hews of Mrs. Eddy's death was made known simultaneously by Judge Clifford P. Smith, first reader of the Mother church, at the close of the morning service, and by Alfred Farlow of the Christian Science publication committee In a statement to the press. According to Mr. Farlow, Mrs. Eddy passed away at a quarter before 11 o'clock last night. "She had been indisposed for about nine days," said Mr. Farlow's state ment, "but had been up and dressed, and as late as Thursday transacted some business with one of the officials of the church. She took her daily af ternoon drive until two days before death. Saturday night she fell quietly asleep and those around her could at first hardly realize that she had gone. Her thought was clear until the last, and she left no final messages. NO PHYSICIAN IN ATTENDANCE "No physician was in attendance, but she,had'the assistance of students who comprised her household. With her at the time of her departure were Calvin A. Frye, Mrs. Laura E. Sargent, Mrs. Ella S. Rathvon, Rev. Irving C. Tom linson. her corresponding secretary; William R. Rathvon and her secretary, Adam H. Dickey. "No arrangements regarding ; .th» time or place of burial have been de cided. It is well known to her house hold that she believed in simplicity on such occasions, and in compliance with this knowledge it is expected the service will be private and of a simple nature, probably consisting of prayer and "reading from the Bible, with some brief selections from the Christian Science text book. Only her relatives, her household and officials of the church are expected to be present. "There having been no physician in attendance. Dr. George W. L. West of Newton Center, medical examiner for the district, was called early Sun : day morning. Dr. West, after investi gation, pronounced death due to 'nat ural causes' and issued the customary certificate. "A telegram was sent to her son,, George W. Glover of Lead, S. D., ap prising him of his mother's death, and requesting information as to- his at tendance and that of his family. "Mrs. Eddy was born In Bow, N. H., July 16, 1821, and was therefore in her ninetieth year." MEMBERS LEARN OF DEATH Few of the congregation at the morning service of the mother church today knew of Mrs. Eddy's death. The service was as usual, and the two readers. Judge Smith and Mrs. Leland T. Powers, presented the sermon of the day. The routine service, which closes with a hyrtm, the reading of the "Sci entific Statement of Being," and the benediction, was strictly followed, but just before the benediction Judge Smith changed the usual form by saying: "I shall now read part of a letter, written by . our revered leader, and printed on page 135 of 'Miscellaneous Writings': " 'My Beloved Students: You may be looking to see me in my accustomed place with you, but this you must no longer expect. When I retired from the field of labor it was a departure, socially, publicly and finally, from the routine and from such material modes as society and our . societies demand. Rumors are rumorsnothing more. I am still with you on the field of bat tle, taking forward marches, broader and higher views, and with the hope that you will follow. "All our thoughts should be given to the absolute demonstration of Chris tian Science. You can well afford to give me up, since you have in my last revised edition of Science and Health your teacher and your guide.' | - "Although I these lines," said Judge Smith, "were written years ago, they are true today and will continue to be true. But it becomes my duty to an nounce that Mrs. Eddy passed from our sight last night a quarter before 11 o'clock at her home on Chestnut hill." ' - •.'... Only those who sat through the ser vice with . the knowledge of the mo mentous event of a. few • hours before heard the benediction. Then the great part of the congregation left their seaH in silence. There were no words of sor row, although many a tear was shed. The strains of the recessional on tho great organ were its joyous as ever. ■•'• As the churchgoers scattered after the services the question of the future leadership. was referred to with great reserve. Those who expressed a view said there would be no change in the methods of carrying on the work, that Mrs. Eddy's teachings and instruction (Ook..:ua«d am Vata Thtaa)
