THE BERIyG-sEA TREATY.
Damages Growing Ont of Seizure or
Canadian Vessels.

WASHINGTON, April S.--The execu-
tive session Of the Senate this afternoon
was brief, and besides few coniirma-
lions. was devoted TO the reception or
report from Mr.. Sherman, chairman OF
the Committee on Foreign Relations, on
the treaty now before the Senate re-
latin, TO the appointment OF a commits
sion for the assessment OF damages grow
ing out OF the seizure of Canadian YES
sells for violation of the regulations re-
latine 10 the Boring Sea fur-seal fisheries.
Mr. Sherman reported a few amend
rnents. which were ordered printed. Inc
treaty will be taken up in lew 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 very anxious TO have the matter dis
posed of.
The amendments reported were only
verbal and will not change the text
Of the treaty I'm any material manner.
The addition of the four vessels not IN
cluded in the statement Of facts submit
ted TO the Paris tribunal, and which were
thrown out by the committee, nave peen
permitted 10 stand. The word award,
as used in the treaty, has, however, been
expurgated. for the reason that the com
mittee 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, they
contend that the question OF damages
was not before the tribunal, ana that
the High Court OF Arbitration expressly
declined TO consider any question relating
to damages. Believing that the word
award" IL permitted to stand, would
therefore, lead to confusion. the commit
tee has reported in favor of striking II
out. and changing the text relating to the
statement of facts so as TO read "as
found by the Paris tribunal" instead OF
"as found by the award of the Paris
tribunal" etc.
rhe only other amendment of conse-
quence is one that provides that the com
mission may sit either in Vancouver or
San Francisco, the original draft OF the
convention STIMULATING that the sessions
should al be held i'm Vancouver. Should
the illness Of Mr.. Morgan, who, 1t may
be stated Is antagonistic TO any treaty,
be prolonged, IL IL believed that the mat
ter would be taken up and disposed OF.
for the State Department has been urging
speedy action, owing to the presence
I'm Washington Of Sir Stafford Northcote,
who. II is understood, is to be the English
member Of the commission authorized by
the treaty. The season for sealing Is so
far advanced that this is also an add
tional reason why the matter should be
disposed Of at the earliest opportunity
and il is probable that the disputed sub
iect may be finally disposed OF next wee-

In Nemoriam.

Departed this life on the 18th day OF
March, 1886, at her home in DunnsyIlie.
Essex county, Va, Sister SALLlE T..
HUNDLEY, youngest daughter OF the
late Judge Muscoe Garrett and Sarah ii.
Booker his wife: relict OF our beloved ana
lamented Elder J. T. II. Hundley, who
was SO widely known on account OF MS
many noble qualities OF mind and heart.
Specially was he identified with the cause
Of education, having been at the time or
his death teacher OF marked ability and
efficiency OF thirty-odd years. and had
been one OF the elders OF Rappahannock
church for a score or more years.
Sister Hundley had passed the sixtieth
milestone on iifes journey. and had en-
deared herself TO a large circle Of friends
and acquaintances who now mourn
her death; kind neighbor,
true friend, a devoted and self-saerificing
mother. and n consecrated Christian wo-
man. Her loss Is deeply felt by the en-
tire community, and especially by her own
family, to whom she was devoted, with
a devotion bordering almost on ido!atry.
Born at Ashland, Va, she spent the
youthful days Of her life at ben
Lomond." the beautiful residence OF her
father, near Dunnsvlle. where now rest
her remains until the resurrection MORN
She confessed her faith In Christ early
In life and united with the Rappahan-
mock Christian church, where she heid
her membership until the summons came
and she was borne on angels wings 70
the city Of her God. During her connec-
ton with the Rappahannock church she
was ever jealous In her Masters SER
vice; "a worker that needed not 70 %
ashamed" "She has fought good heht;
she has finished her course: henceforth
there Is laid Up for her crown OF right
eousness, which the Lord. the righteous
Judge. will give at that day"
She leaves a family OF three daughters
and six sons. among whom Is the highly
honored and beloved pastor OF Kappa
hammock and Smyrna churches. J. T. 4.
Hundley; three brothers and several
grandchildren. to all OF whom we extend
our heartfelt sympathies IN this dark
hour and bid them remember that their
loss Is her eternal gain. She has xoks
to rejoIn those Of her loved ones who
had preceded her TO the other shore.
where she Is now waiting and watching
for them- May the God of the orphan
give them consolation In the darkness
that now surrounds them. Is my prayer.
Servant Of God, well donel
Rest from thy loved employ;
The battle fought. the victory wons
Enter thy Masters Joy.
The pains OF death are past;
Labor and sorrow cease.
And. life's long warfare closed 1t last
Her soul Il found In peace.

ENGINEER CORPS OF THE NAVY.
Mr.. j. II. Edwards on the Various
Fills for Its Relief.

WASHINGTON. April S.-The House
Committee on Naval Affairs to-day heard
Chief Engineer J. r. Edwards, of the
navy. in connection with the various
bills looking to the relief Of the engineer
corps Of the navy. He devoted conside-
ra BILE time showing the insufiiciency OF the
naval engineer corps, in comparison with
the engineer corps OF the British navy
The ratio Of line officers in the British
navy was two. to one engineer, while
in the United States eervice II was Tour
to one In the British service an engineer
had about $50 horsepower to look atter,
while in the American navy an engineer
had 1850 horsepower TO consider.
He advocated the passage OF the b!ll
introduced by Mr.. Wilson, OF New YORK
which provides for appointing graduates
Of technical schools in this country TO
the er gineer corps upon competitive eN-
animation Referring 20 the ability or
these instructions TO train men for ser
vice as naval engineers. Mr.. Edwards
said that in the technical schools four
years are given TO tr.Lning an engineer
while at the Naval Academy but one
year constitutes the engineering course.
In behalf of naval engineers, he asked
that positive rank and title be conferred
upon members of the corps, similar 10
those given the Engineer corps OF the
army.
He referred to the excessive work de-
vOlvlng upon the engineers OF our MODERN
battleships. and cited the report OF the
surgeon general Of the navy to show how
seriously the Engineer Corps now SUI
fered from overwork and other exigencies
Of the service He urged that the IN
crease OF the corps as recommended 10y
Engineer-in-Chief Melville be allowed.
This was not only necessary to prevent
the officers from breaking down. but was
absolutely necessary 10 keep the vessels
