WASHINGTON, Sept. 13. - Secretary JleWf returned from his inspection of the Pacific Coast today. He made a amber of observations of importance in ormection with the visit to the Pacific Coast of the Atlantic fleet He found that while the government had only one jock on the Pacific Coast capable of ear ing for a battleship, there were a number of private dock which might be avail able if needed. Of these, three are at San Francisco. The only government dock is at Bremer ton and this location, be believed, makes ft likely that the entire fleet may go asl far north a Puget Sound before return fag t Atlantic waters. Concerning this robability Secretary Metcalf says there is water enough at Bremerton to float the entire fleet at one time. The labor question on the coast, the Secretary said, was becoming more ser iaiis each day, and he instanced the fact that the navy yards at Mare Island and Bremerton are working far under their spacity by reason of the labor famine. He pointed out that in the west car- J ruZr?"hfJZIl wag found by the secretary to be ser ious. He said the railroads cannot begin fo haul the crops and the passenger tain service is very heavy.

IS.-Fifteen na tional guardsmen, regular army men ami civilians arrivint at Oyster Bay today ou invitation of (he President to find that absolutely no arrangement had been made for their reception. The men had victoriously represented America at the International rifle contest last Sat urday and had a telegram from the resident' secretary, 1-ocb, that they would lie met by the government au tomobiles on their arrival t Oyster Bay. Their arrival was absolutely ignored. They were left standing helplessly at the railroad station for forty minutes, while grinning hackuten jested with one another" as to how much they would make out of the men who had won for America and had been invited there as guests of the President. After waiting so long that they were forced to miss the return train they had expected to take, the riflemen hiivd five teams to take them to Sagamore Hill wondering whether they would be received by the President. Owing to the delay caused by their ftigid reception, the tired riflemen were forced to wait two hotirt'at the little railroad station after their viit to the Hill. Their expressions of opinion re garding their reception at the Presi dent's home niter being invited to come cannot lie quoted, as many of the vis itors are regular army men.
