The Late Colenel DRhlEren-Actieu Of Laurel
Hill Cemetery mauaGers.
Despatch 10 the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Feb. 13.-A letter addressed to
Mrs. Dahlgren from the Managers of West
Laurel Hill Cemetery, Philadelphia, states "The
Board of Managers, considering that Colonel
Uric Dahlgren fell in the service of his
country, under circumstances of chivalric
and distinguished heroism, and that
Admiral Dahlgren, after a long and
honorable career in his profession, has left a
reputation of which she is justly proud, and
feeling 1t at once duty and a privilege to do
what in them lies towards honoring such illus
trious memories, have unanimously resolved to
offer for your acceptance lot anywhere in the
cemetery that you may select and of any size
that may be necessary to give effect to the pro-
posed statues"
Admiral Dahlgren never asked or received
of his country one dollar for the patented in
ventions which armed the navy. He died leav-
ing estate of fifteen thousand dollars. The
widow intends to devote all of her widow S
dover and her son Paul all of his inheritance
towards placing monuments over the graves of
the deceased,

The Hatchet Buried-satisfactory CoDiuncture
of the Two Poles of the Woman Question.
A notable meeting took place at Ann Arbor,
Michigan, week or two ago, when for the first
time Miss Anna E. Dickinson and Miss Lillian s.
Edgarton laid eyes upon each other They were
counterparts long sundered, the former being,
as all the world knows, pretty, petulant, fiery
little brunette, and the latter an imperial blonde,
a massive Alruna maiden who might have sung
to the evolves of the Goths" in search of As
of woman's right to vote, but Miss Edgarton
thinks women should not be enfranchised. For
long time they had vainly yearned for each
other but at last they met at a hotel in Ann
Arbor, and each exclaiming "'tis she," they
rushed like torrents into each others arms, and
the small brunette nestled within them, purring
like little brown kitten. Henceforth they
would be as sisters, and the last that was seen of
them was tableau of the brunette sitting on
the blondes knee while both slipped from the
same tumbler q liquid which the ingenious hotel
clerk called hot lemonade with fringe

THE ALABAMA CLAIMS.
The Basis of settlement Believed to Have
Been Already Agreed On.

The Basis of settlement Belleyed to Have
Been Already Agreed On.
The Washington correspondent of the New
York Tribune writes:-
'It is believed that the Commission wilt not
begin its sessions until about the LIST of March,
as under the most favorable circumstances
Earl de Grey, Prof. Bernard, and Lord Tenter-
den will not arrive here until the last week of
the present month"; while the successor of Sir
John Rose has not yet sailed. 1t is supposed
by some that the commission will be in
session but a few weeks, as it is under
stood that the object of the conference is
not to arrange the details of treaty or treaties
covering the several questions at issue, but to
determine the principles AMI settle the policy
upon which the details can afterward be nego-
tiated This, it is claimed, is the view enter
tanned in administration circles In the matter
of the Alabama, for instance, the business of
the joint commission will be to consider and
settle the liability, and also determine the pro-
visions of law necessary to the meeting of such
cases, and the responsibilities arising in the
future. This done, the liability of Great Bri-
tain, or otherwise for the other privateers will
be considered and determined.
In the matter of the fisheries the commission
will undoubtedly determine not only the proper
Interpretation of present treaties, out the man
ner and extent to which the privilege shall be
made hereafter available to our fishermen, as
well as other matters that may properly grow
out of this concession. In this view of their
duties the joint commissioners business will ap-
pear TO be the considering and sanctionng, in
the high and grave manner attaching to their
digniied position of the formulas and princi-
pies upon which not only questions now in dis
pute shall be settled. but the basis on which
others that are likely to arise, especially in re-
gard to our relations with British North
America, may be determined on.
On the other hand it is the opinion of some
that the basis of settlement of the Alabama
claims has already been arranged bet Reen the
two Governments, and will be given to the COM
mission on its meeting, so that its duties in this
regard are to be only nominal This opinion
gains strength from the fact that the correspon
dence sent to the Senate is so vague in regard to
the duties and powers of the commission.
General Schenck is known to have taken part
in the preliminary negotiations, and it is be-
lieved that if what appears in the three letters
printed is all the understanding arrived at
during the late visit of Sir John Rose, Mr..
Schenck would never have given his assent to
the reopening of the questions at issue now.
The members of the English Embassy are quite
elated at the result of recent negotiations, re.
garding it as sure to inure to the permanent
peace and friendship of the two countries.

THE NORTH RIVER.
Another Account-Loss of Four Vessels.

The ice in the East and North rivers was
time this winter. The immense quantities COM
ing up on the food-tide in the morning caused a
jam from Pier No. 3S, East river, to the Brook
lyn side, and from l o'clock until a large
number of persons passed over. The steamer
Bridgeport coming down, cut large number
off from the shore, but they were all taken off
by the Navy Yard steamer
Three canal-boats and the small tug-boat On
tario was sunk off Pier No. IS, East River by
the ice. Ferry-boats and other steamers were
obliged to remain at their docks. At one time
great fears were apprehended that Piers Nos.
3S, SO, and 40 East River, and the lower part
OF the Staten Island Ferry pier would be swept
away by the large flakes of ice which struck
them.
Thecoal barge William!J. Thompson was sunk
by the ice field at Pier No. co. East River. The
