life, although she stoutly denied this.

for assault to murder was filed in JUS
tice Jones' court this morning.

Among the Lepers.

Father L. L. Conrady, who succeeded
Father Damien in charge ct the lepe1
colony at Molokai, Hawaii, has come to
this country intending, it is said, to fit
himself more thoroughly for his task by
studying medicine. Another Father Da-
mien, a brother Of the dead priest, is in
charge of the colony during Father Con-
rady's absence. The latter was inter-
viewed by a reporter of a San Francisco
paper concerning leprosy. and gave it as
his opinion, formed from long observa-
ton of lepers in Hawaii and Japan that
leprosy can be transmitted only by in
oculation. He believed that a person who
takes proper preca utions as to cleanli-
ness, and never allows any part of his
skin that may be in any way abraded or
broken to come into contact with the per-
son of a leper, may go on fer years liv-.
ing among them without contracting the
disease. Father Damien, he said. con-
tracted the disease through his unwilling
ness to refuse attendance ON a boy who
had been badly hurt in an accident.
Father Damien was suffering from a
badly bruised hand, but binding the
wound with antiseptics and trusting for
the best, he dressed the boys wounds.
His precautions were useless. He had be-.
come inoculated, and it was not long be-
fore the marks of agleper appeared upon
him. There are at present in the lepers
colony at Molokai 1900 patients, II of
whom are white men, 3 white women, Is
Chinese and Lbs native Hawailans.-

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 1897-In the
Senate today, on motion of Mr. Tillnan
(Dem., S. CO. the bill introduced by him
in reference to the liquor traffic in States
was taken up. He explained that its
purpose was to give to every State and
Territory the right to control the liquor
traffic, within its own borders, in its own
way, without interference from the Fed
eral Judiciary or any outside source. 1t
was, he said, to amplify and clarity ex-
listing law.
Mr.. Sewell (Rep., N. J.) opposed the
bill as an interference with Interstate
commerce.
Mr., Mills (Dem., ,Tex.l also opposed it
very dangerous step backward in the
policy of the government, and one which
might as well be applied hereafter to
Mr. Vest (Dem., Mo- said that he, also

BROOKLYN BADLY DAMAGED

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10, 1S97.-Accord-
ing to the official report of Naval Con-
structor Linnard, of his examination of
the cruiser Brooklyn after her bottom
was exposed in the League Island dry
dock, that vessels injuries are more Sc
rious than at first reported, and it will
probably take three weeks to remedy the
damage at an expense which may reach
as high as $4,000.
Divested of technical details, the report
shows that the horizontal keel plates are
badly bent up on both sides of the verti-
cal keel from frame number 30 to 81, and
on port side to number 10. The Reel is
probably not materially injured. Strake
"A" starboard, from number so to SO, is
bent in from one to four inches. Strake
"a" port side, is completely broken through
every frame from No. 80 to 10, the frame
being bent in from six to twelve inches.
Strake "B' on port side is slightly bent
for short distance. Strake t'A' is the
course of plates alongside the keel plates
and "B'' is next cours above.
AS the frames are four feet apart 1t
appears that the hole broken through on
the port side is 160 feet long, extending
from beyond the forward boiler. compart
ment under the bow magazine to the
floor of the engine rooms. No action has
yet been taken by the department to-
wards fixing the responsibility for the ac-
cident by a court of inquiry.
