Receives Serious Damages
by Running on a Ledge.
MUST BE DRY-DOCKED.
The Accident Occurred Last Saturday
and the Captain of the Vessel is
Unable to Account for it-An Inves
tigation is Ordered Through a
Court of Inquiry.

| WASHINGTON, February 1.-The
navy department has not, up to II a.
H., received any direct information
from the cruiser Brooklyn in regard to
the accident reported in this mornings
press reports The department has
made inquiry by wire Ct the Brooklyn's
officers as to her draft in order 70 see
where she can be docked. If she IS
drawing in less than % feet she can be
docked at League Island: if more than
% feet she will be sent to the Brooklyn
yard. Charles H. Cramp has gone to
look at the cruiser and expected to be
able to report on her condition this
afternoon. There will be no court of
inquiry ordered until the vessel reaches
and the extent of her damages ascer-
tanned.
WASHINGTON, February 1.-Secre-
tary Herbert has received the report
of Captain Cook in which is given in
detail the circumstances attending the
accident to the cruiser Brooklyn in
Delaware river Saturday last. The
cident and asks for a court of inquiry to
investigate the report. He says the
ship will have to return as soon as the
river is free of ice to League Island and
go into dock. The desired court will
be promptly ordered.
CHESTER, Penn, February 1.-The
cruiser Brooklyn is still lying at Mar
Gus Hook, moored to the ice piers, and
will not be moved until there is abso-
lutely no danger from the huge cakes of
ice which fill the Delaware river. The
damage sustained by striking Schooner
Ledge, on Saturday afternoon, is
serious, but to what extent the vessel is
injured cannot be ascertained until she
is dry docked. Plenty of water under
ships bottom where she lies, she is
about $50 feet from the shore. When
the cruiser struck Schooner Ledge, she
was running about knots an hour and
her machinery was working perfectly.
Customary course was observed and
spar buoys which mark the ledge were
plainly visible through the pack of ice.
WASHINGTON February 1.-The
secretary of the navy has turned the
cruiser Brooklyn back to the Cramps
as an uncompleted vessel and they will
take her to League Island and repair
the vessel. Operations will be begun
today by means of lighters and other
apparatus. 1t is probably that all her
heavy guns will be removed so as to
tighten her as much as possible.
Plates have been ripped from the bot
tom of Brooklyn for distance of I25 feet
on each side of the keel.

Is Considered by the Senate
In Executive Session.
THE CHANGES ARE SLIGHT
The First Amendment is to Ease the
Minds of Other NatiOns-The See
Ond Clause Does not Settle Solely
on the King of Sweden and Norway
for an Arbitrator.

lately after the reading of Friday
journal Mr.. Sherman of Ohio, chair
man of the committee on foreign rela
tions, said he considered it desirabl
that the senate should have a brief ex
ecutive session. The galleries wer
cleared and the doors closed. tbs un
derstood the occasion was the presenta
tion of the report of the committee OF
foreign relations on the arbitration
treaty. The doors were re-opened a
12:45 and legislative business proceeded
with. Various petitions in favor of the
ratification of the arbitration treaty
were presented.
Immediately after senate convened al
noon Mr.. Sherman moved an executive
session, stating that it would require
but short time. When the doors
were closed he reported the general
treaty of arbitration as amended Satur-
day by committee. The first of these
amendments adds at the end of the first
article clause:
"But no question which affects
foreign or domestic policy of either of
high contracting parties or relations of
either with any other state or power,
by treaty or otherwise shall be subject
to arbitration by this treaty except
by special agreement"
The second clause strikes out all re-
ference whenever it occurs to the
Sweden and Norway umpire, where
the tribunals fail to agree upon such
umpire. After the report was made
Mr.. Sherman asked that inasmuch as
as the text of the convention had been
made public, the injunction of secrecy
be removed from the text of the amend
ments, but Senator Morgan objected
and the request was denied. No at
tempt was made to arraDge time for the
consideration of the treaty nor was
anything said about debating it in
open session.
The senate made short work this
morning of the treaty negotiated with
Japan. The treaty puts into operation
at once the 10th article of the treaty of
commerce and navigation negotiated
between the United States and Japan
at Washington November %, 1894,
which provides that citizens and sub
jects of either of the high contractin
parties shall enjoy in the territories of
each other the same protection as
native citizens or subjects in regard to
patents, trade marks, designs upon their
fulfillment of formalities as prescribed
by law.
A message from the president with
the report from the secretary of state
giving the information called for by the
senate resolution as to the arrest and
condemnation of Jules Sanguilly, an
American citizen in Cuba, was laid |
before the senate and referred to the
committee on foreign relations.
