Washington. Feb. Immediately
the Senate convened at noon, Mr.. Sher-

ing that it would require but short
time. When the doors were closed he
reported the general treaty of arbitra-
ton as amended, Saturday, by the

of either with any other state or power.

convention had been made public the
injunction Of secrecy be removed from

ator Morgan objected and the request
was denied.
No attempt was made to arrange a
time for Reconsideration of the treaty,

ACCIDENT 70 1ns sRooklyx.
Captain Cook Feels that Il Was No Fault Of
His Own.

Washington, Feb. 1.--Secretary Her
bert has received an official report from
Captain Cook regarding the accident
to the warship Brooklyn. The captain
says the Brooklyn anchored off League
Island and was dangerously beset by
the ice. He had been quite anxious
lest the ship be carried ashore by foes
that We're getting heavier and heavier.
Upon receiving the throttle valve
chamber on board. yesterday, he de-
termined that it was best to put the
ship in safer position if one could be
found. He learned that safe berth
could be had at the Cramps yard, ar
ranged with tugs and pilots of the Red
Star line to take the vessel through the
ice to the yard and moor her there.
The Philadelphia city ice boat number
was engaged to break the ice around
the ship and in the channel through
the Horse Shoe" The captain saws;
he weighed anchor and with his own
engines and assistance of tugs in
breaking the ice tried in vain to turn
the ship. Finding he could not do So
his best resource seemed to be to make
an attempt to get out of the river. On
the advice of the pilot he decided to go
to Marcus Hook and tie up at ice piers
and thus be ready to go on favorable
tide on down the river. The ship
steamed readily through the ice and
behaved perfectly.
II was about to congratulate myself
upon the success of the whole move
ment," says Captain Cook. when she
struck while passing Schooner Ledge
while she was on the range of the best
water and having an assurance of such
from the pilot, navigating officer
Lieut.. McCrea and myself also keep
ing range.
The grounding of the ship was most
rercep.ibly felt like passing over loose
stones. 1t was soon reported that the
double bottom compartments under the
1iie rooms and forward engine room
Were full of water, leaking through
manhole plates and rivets in some
places into the bilges and forward
magazine, which have been readily
pumped out and kept free.
From all facts within my knowledge.

my part. Pilot Wall holds a regular

cannot account for the disaster and is
entirely sustained in this opinion by Pilot
Bennett. The recent blasting at this
ledge. which l understand has beer
going on, may have left some loose
rock not before in the channel"
Captain Cook says the ship viii have
to return. as soon as the river is free
of ice and tides permit, to League
Island, discharge all weights and go in
dock. He requests a court of inquiry
to investigate and report. The desired
court will be promptly ordered
