ROUGH PASSAGE.
Arrival of the Dominion Liner Brooklyn
"A Sketch of Her "trip.

The Brooklyn of the Dominion line arrived
at this port from Liverpool via Halifax late
yesterday afternoon. She brought eleven cab
in passengers, Give Of whom landed at Hall
fax, and eleven in the steerage. Her cargo
was Of about eighteen hundred tons, contain
ing two hundred and thirty-four head OF cat
tie for Halifax All the cattle were landed in
good condition, a remarkable showing consid-
ering the rough nature of the passage. Three
horses which were shipped for this country
were lost.
The passage was among the hardest ever
known. 1t took fourteen days to make Hall
fax and for three consecutive days only one
hundred miles were covered. An examination
of the vessel showed traces of the effect OF the
rough weather. The decks were slippery with
snow and mud, great cakes of ice had formed
around the bow, the shrouds and ratlines we're
coated with ice and the exterior wood work
bore covering of snow. On the starboard
side for quite long distance planks and rope
took the place of the rail. One of the smoke
stacks was entirely demolished. The waves
had carried away a portion OF the wheel house
taking with it the steam steering gear. A
large number Of ventilators were also gone
The boats received the full force of the
waves. One was lost and three others we're
badly smashed. 1t is fortunate that none of
the crew were washed overheard. The waves
were continually dsshing over the vessel and
the frequent accidents to different parts of the
ship necessitated constant work and exposure
on deck The temperature was very low and
the spray iroze as it was flying through the
air.
The report that one of tho crew was frozen,
Is not authenticated. One OF the officers re-
csiyed blow which cut his upper lip and
knocked out several teeth. This was the only
accident reported. The officers and crew de-
serve communication for bringing the vessel
through without sustaining greater injury.

ALAAIEDAs 8, DEERINGs 2.
Luck seems TO follow the Alamedas as closely as
does their misfortune to adding new aurels to their
Singing record. 1t YVES luck that gave them the
game last night and it misfortune that two of
the behring's should be injured to be obliged to
leave the floor. 1t was clear that one was to
blame for the accident but it spoiled the game The
Alamedas played a weak game and for The first
goal, until the misery began the Deerings handled
gave Dow chance to make a good many stops
Soon after the second goal was commenced, Carney
was struck across the leg by Guthrie and had to
leave the floor. Play had hardly commenced he
fore Dunning struck Weeks across the head with
his hockey, cutting cash two inches long. Both
OF these were unintentiOnal but it was a care
less way OF playing to say the least Sweeney took
Carney's place and Thompson went on for Weeks.
1t was the hrst game that Sweeney had played on
rubber rollers and he had done nothing but play in
some OF the burlesque games on lockwood. 1t weak
ened the Deerings very much of course to have in
experienced men take the place of old players but
tney went into the game with good spirit for all
that. Hammett played in the behring's goal and
played wonderful game. He left his circle rather
too often but he staid in it long enough to make
some splendid stops and what work he did outside
of 1t counted every time. He made the best shot
for the clock that has been made yet, but he is
used to stopping clock. Gledhill put in some good
work, and in fact the Deerings to a man played
finely. The Alamedas must brace up little or
they will lose their lead. 1t is long journey yet
and the best players may not be laid up every time
Roberts ran into post once and drew blood mot
from the post and the only fouls that were made
were on the Alamedas-One each on CahilI and
Vaughan
Gledhill got the first rush. There was considera-
BILE waiting for broken skates in the first goal
twenty-seyen minutes being occupied, while the
actual playing time was only thirteen. McAndrews
won the goal. Roberts got the second rush and
after seven minutes play the accident Carney oc
CURED. Weeks was next laid up and after an actu-
al playing time of twelve minutes Guthrie got the
goal by long shot from his position as cover
He also got the fourth rush and Sweeney got the
goal after one-half minutes play. 1t was pretty
an Alameda, who sent it back to him. He then
sent it over to Sweeney, who tapped it neatly into
the goal before Dow could change his position.
Roberts got the last rush and also the goal after
three minutes play. The whole time of the game
was one hour and sixteen minutes, with an actual
playing time of half an hour.

Yesterday morning complaint was made at
the police station that housekeeper in the
service of Mr.. Samuel Lawrence of Yarmouth,
had left for parts unknown with two hundred
dollars of her employers money, and con-
siderable quantity of his effects. Thursday
the woman had had a visitor in the person of a
man who claimed to be her husband. He re-
manned during the day and, it was supposed
he intended to stay all night. The couple.
however, walked to Yarmouth Junction in
time to board the Pullman train on the Maine
Central, buying tickets for Augusta. Their
whereabouts were matter OF conjecture,
when the police were notified. Not being
within the jurisdiction of the police force, the
matter was referred to the sheriff.

LONG CREEK.
Whns LIS Thought About the Proposed
Dam.


Whns xs Thought About the Proposed
Dam.
In casual conversation with Mr.. Albion Lit
tie, one of the trustees Of the Reform School,
yesterday, that gentleman expressed the hops
that Messrs Clark & Chaplin would be per-
mitted to dam Long Creek. He didn't believe
that any injury of consequence would result to
the harbor from such proceeding, and the
benefit to the Reform School would be marked.
Long Greek borders the school property. Near
the point where the dam is contemplated
bridge will be thrown across by Clark & Chap
lin, and right of way will be accorded the
School teams over this bridge; great conve-
nience in getting to and from the city. Yes
sells bringing coal can land the coal at the
dam, thus saving the school fifty cents ton
on its coal. On the side of the creek near the
dam, is an old brick-yard, composed of clay
and dirt, quilted by the streams that pour
down into the creek and carry the mud, clay
and dirt on to the fats at the foot of the brick
yard. These flats raise about fifty tons of hay
that has to be carried off by floats after it is
cut 1t costs about the full value of the hay
to secure it. The Clark & Chaplin Company
will give the school in return for the creek,
fifty to sixty tons of ice every year, and were
to have given $500 besides. but as they now
end they shall want piece of land, in order
to extend the bridge and dam, belonging to
the school. the sum will be considerably larger.
He thought government engineers were rather
apt to over-estimate or magnify trivial matters.
Col Blunt, q. s. Engineer, said that he ful-
ly concurred in the opinions contained in Gen.
Thoms report on the subject. He endorsed
the opinion on scientific grounds, and thought
it was applicable to this csse.
Mr.. Alexander W. Longfellow. the we'll
known engineer Of the coast survey, said that
he regarded any tampering with either OF the
basins of the harbor, as blow at the prosperi-
ty of the city. He agreed with Gen. Thorn in
regard to the securing power exerted by the
waters of Long Creek, and said that in so far
as this securing power was diminished the ca
pacity OF the harbor was lessened.

THE CASE OF THE DOLPHIN.
The Arbitrary Action of Secretary Whitney
VIII Prevent Letting of Future Contracts.
Special To the nd nolis .IournaI

The Arbitrary Action of Secretary Whitney
Will Prevent Letting of Future Contracts.
Special to the Indiana polls Journal
WASHINGTON, July 1.-THE action of the At
torney general Garland in deciding that the
Secretary of the Navy must not accept the
Dolphin has created a great deal of surprise in
naval circles and great deal of dissatisfaction
as we'll. 1t was thought that Attorney general
Garland would read the contract as everybody
else had read it; but he seems to have found
something between the lines which no one else
has thus for been able to discover The reason
that dissatisfaction is felt this score is that
there is not an officer in the navy
who is not anxious that the United States should
have feet of frst-class war vessels. 1t is not
because John Roach built this boat, and that she
is not all that she should be, that these men are
disposed to growl; but they want to see con-
tractor have fair show, and the blame of fail
ure to rest where it properly belongs. Your
correspondent talked with one of the Oldest and
best posted officers in the navy upon this
subject to-day, and asked his opinion from a
legal and professional standpoint.
Il have no hesitation in saying" he
replied, that the Attorney Generals decision is
not warranted by the law or the facts in the
case. 1t is clear that Roach is not alone re-
sponsible for the failure of the Dolphin to do
what is required of her. She was built under
direction of the United States. Each portion of
her was virtually accepted by the Navy Depart
ment before it was paid for. l think that Roach
has an excellent basis for an action at law, in
which he can recover the balance due
him. but the most deplorable outcome
of this thing will be that no contractor
will agree to enter into covenant with the
government for the purpose of building a naval
vessel in the future, because he will feel that it
is contract with one side only That is to say,
he will find that he himself is bonded to do Ger.
tain things while the other party to the contract
is under no obligation to accept any work he
does, and, in fact can nulify the whole contract
after the party of the first part has expended
thousands Of dollars in time and money The
action of the Attorney general in this
matter, it seems to me-" continued
the old sea-dog, "wl, certainly
lead to the closing Of all American ship yards to
the United States and think that Secretary
Whitney will find that he will have great diff
Guilty in letting the contract for the other vessels
provided for by Congress"
'What do you think is the underlying action
of the Secretary9'
ooh, that is easy to discover. He, in the first
place, desired to get in slap at the previous ad-
ministration; and, again, he is anxious to make
political capital for himself which will be an ad-
vantage in the future"
