ING SPEEDY ACTION.
Washington, April s.-The executive session OF
the Senate this afternoon was brief. and besides
a few combinations was devoted to the recep-
ton Of report from Mr.. Sherman, chairman OF
the Committee on Foreign Relations. on the
treaty now before the Senate relating to the ap-
pointment of n commission for the assessment
Of damages growing out Of the seizure Of Cana
dian vessels for violations of the regulations
relating to the Behrng Sea fur seal fisheries.
Mr.. Sherman reported a few amendments which
were ordered printed. The treaty will be taken
up In a few days. Objection was made to its
consideration this afternoon on account of the
Illness of Senator Morgan. although Mr. Sher
man stated that the State Department was ex-
tremely anxious to have the matter disposed of.
Tie amendments reported are only verbal. and
will not change the text of the treaty in any ma
terial manner. The four vessels not included
in the statement Of fact submitted to the Paris
Tribunal and which We're thrown out by the
committee have been permitted to stand. The
word award used in the treaty has, how
ever. been expurgatel, for the reason that the
committee does not agree with the claim Of the
British Ambassador that the Paris Tribunal
made any award in connection with this matter.
On the contrary. the committee cortends that
the question Of damages not before the
Tribunal. and that the high court Of arbitration
expressly declined to consider any question re-
latng to damages. Believing that the word
award" II permitted to stand will therefore
lead to confusion. the committee has reported
in favor of striking II out and changing the
text relating to the statement Of fact to
read "as found by the Paris Tribunal" instead
OF "as found by the award of the Paris
Tribunal"
The only other amendment Of consequence is
one providing that the commission may sit
either in Vancouver or San Francisco. the orig
ina. draft of the convention stipuating that
the sessions should be held in Vancouver. Should
the Illness of Mr.. Morgan. who is antagonistic
to any treaty. be prolonged. 1t is believed that
the matter will be taken up and disposed Of. for
the State Department has been urging speedy
action. owing to the presence in Washington of
sir Stafford Northcote who. IT is understood.
is to be the English member Of the commission
to be authorized by the treaty
The season for sealing Is so far advanced that
there Is also additional reason why the mat
ter should be disposed Of at the earliest oppor
tunty. and IT is probable that action will be
taken week

SOLID ROCK FOUND.
REJOICING AMONG THOSE INTERESTED IN
THE NEW EAST RIVER BRIDGE PLAN.

There was report late yesterday afternoon that
the workmen who are boring the rock at the
bottom of the East River. short distance north
OF Grand-st the New-York sde to find firm
foundation for the bridge, had met with an
accident which would delay their work. 1t is true
that there is a delay but the stoppage is brief and
those interested in the bridge rejoiced at the
finding Of solid rock. reporter who visited the
scene at o'clock last evening found one OF the
fcremen in the little office at Deancey-st.
"Our diamond drill has given out" said the fore
man. land We had to stop work so as to put in
new one. We must get drill with harder and
finer cutting points than the kind We have been
using. Tomorrow morning we will resume work.
We will get the OF the rock out and make
further examination. | Will tell you why think We
are in good luck. | believe have struck

for the foundation for the bridge. or course
cannot be wholly positive until we get the core

OF rock 1t immense saving OF time in
the work. The bridge be completed perhaps
many months sooner than has been expected. We
could not put foundations upon any soft or
shaky bottom. We must have granite or some
thing hard granite. The texture OF the rock
must be close grained without even the slightest
crack or fssure

as the work Is so far below the surface Of the
water. The difficulty is overcome by using

rock will go only few feet to reach the proper

the finding Of good rock Is looked upon as an I'M
terprse 1t created much excitement and rejoic-
ing among all interested in the work.
There will be great interest In the resumption OF
the work to-day. Portions OF specimen rock will
be taken out as speedily as possible and tested.
