TREATY RATIFIED.
Commission to Assess Damages
Claimed by Canadian Sealers.
The Long Disputed Behrins Sea question"
Finally to Be Disposed OF.

WASHINGTON. April 15.-After a dis
cussion of n little more than hair an
hour. the Senate, this afternoon, IN ex-
ecutive session. ratified the treaty pe-
tween the United States and Great
Britain. providing for commission to
assess damages alleged to have been
sustained by Canadian sealers, whose
vessels were seized by the government
of the United States for alleged illegal
sealing.
The treaty provides that each gov
eminent shall appoint one commits
sioner and il they cannot agree the
President of the Swiss republic Is To
select third.
The commission, as provided fer IL
the original treaty, was to SIT 1T VAN
couver, bat an amendment WAS in
serted that the commission shall be al
lowed to sit in san Francisco
The only other amendment OF any
impol lance is the eXpungin2 OF me
word award" from the text of the
convention where reference is made to
the proceedings Of the Paris tribunal,
this government contending that the
Paris tribunal did not make any award
on the question of damages: that II
went even further anu refused to CON
slider that question at all Otherwise
the treaty is as signed by Sir Julian
Pauncefote and Secretary Dlney.
When Senator Sherman called it up,
| this afternoon. some senators desired
| to postpone action until the return to
the Senate of Senator Morgan. but this
was deemed impractical owing to the
uncertainty as to when Mir. Morgan
| will be able to resume his uuties.
sherman said the state department
was exceedingly anxious to have the
| matter disposed of at the earliest OPP
| portunity. and If the Senate intended
| to ratify the convention at all. it might
AS we'll be done now. and thus obliter-
ate the idea held by some that this
| government was tritling with the sub
| ject
Most of the senators appeared con-
| tent to accept the judgment of the
committee on foreign relations. The
| text of the convention was read at
length. but very little attention was
paid to II.
! Sherman indicated the character of
! the amendments and moved the ratlii-
| cation of the instrument as amended.
| The ratification was agreed to without
| the fornality of a vote and with a
nnanimity that was unexpected.
| Sherman frowned down a suggestion
to remove the injunction of secrecy
| from the treaty

Old Anchors and New Ones.

Thousands of tons Of old iron are
purchased by w. q. Alden, the Camden
anchor maker. for anchors are forged
largely from cast-off iron. The mate
rial is cut into small pieces by great
shears chat clip through the iron as
easily as a cheese knife slices a cheese.
The pieces are bound into bundles by
strong wires. and are then fused in the
forges Then they are pounded and
welded into the parts of the anchor,
some workmen fashioning rings. others
shaping the ilukes, others hammerin2
out the palms, and others forging the
shanks Then the completers take the
different parts and fuse and weld them
into the finished anchor. Anchors of
all sizes and weights are turned out
from Alden's works, from the graceful
little pleasure boat anchor. weighing
but few pounds to the great 5000 and
1500-pound anchors, for the biggest
ships
The visitor in Camden will see many
interesting relics in the line of rusty
and broken anchors that did duty in
their day on famous merchant vessels,
historic warshps and sturdy whalers.
The anchor of the famous frigate Cum
berland was repaired and fitted with a
new stock at the Camden works. and is
now at sea on the forecastle of the
ship, VIM. II. Macy, unless she has lost
it. The old stock was splintered up for
the qualification of relic hunters. and
there is only n silver of two of the his
toric wood left in Camden. This was
the anchor which went down with the
Cumberland when she sank after her
fight With the Merrimac in Hampden
Roads. hence the great demand for
