 NEW YORK, Feb l0 A Times special from Washington, says:
 Ut will please the friends of the Lo. gans-the widow and surviving family of the late Senator John A. Logan, of lllinois-to learn that Mrs Mary Lo- gan Tucker and her son, George Lem- on Tucker, will benefit to a much greater extent from the estate of the late George F..

 Mrs. Tucker and her youngest son inherit two-ffths of the estate after certain specific bequests are paid. The sum that would remain for distribu- tion has been properly estimated at something like S1,O0O,0o0, but the es- tate is going to pan out beyond all expectations, if credence is to be placed in stories emanating from quarters close to the executors.

THE ARMOR PLATE QUESTION
Probably Solved by the Senate Committee
 on Naval Affairs.


 WASHINGTON, Feb. 10.-The armor plate question, which has been troub ling the senate committee on naval affairs for many weeks, will probably be disposed of within few days The committee yesterday morning agreed that the maximum price to be paid for armor plate should not CT. ceed the sum named by the secretary of the navy-S400. Mir Chandler in his report, found that armor ought to be furnished with fair profit to the manufacturers at $500 a ton; but the committee, thinking that this was 100 low, will report in favor of scale be- tween these two figures, leaving the maximum as found by the Rohrer board, which was composed Of naval experts in armor and its processes oi manufacture.
 The secretary will also be author ized, if the recommendations oi tne committee are carried out, to secure \ plant for the manufacture of armof by the government in the event thas he cannot make satisfactory contrae" with the Carnegie or Bethlehem pe0 pie. For this purpose one and nan million of dollars will be asked, tne committee and the secretary believing that this will be sufficient. MI Chandler's strictures on Commoaor' Folger have been softened. but other wise the report will be submitted " the senate about as written oy MT Chandler.

THE CRUISER BROOKLYN
More Seriously Damaged Than at First
 Thought.

PHILADELPHIA, Feb. 10. The cruiser Brooklyn, which struck on Schooner ledge in the Delaware river below Chester, Pa, on the 30th ult., while proceeding to Marcus Hook to secure safe anchorage from the ice, and which badly damaged her bottom, was successfully docked at the League Island navy yard.
 small army of workmen were busy until late hour Monday night placing the blocks upon which the bottom of the big 'warship now rests, while dredge was scooping out the mud from the entrance to the dock The cruisers draft is so nearly equal to the depth of the dry dock that there was but half hour in which to fix her in posi- ton before the flood tide receded. Alter the gateway was closed the water was pumped out of the dock and the exact extent of the injuries the cruiser sustained when she scraped the bottom will soon be ascertained.
 The work of repairing the damage Is In the entire charge of the Cramps.
 LATER-the damage to the Brook lyn is more serious than at first an. ticipated. The plates are bent and crushed, having great gaps in them, through which the water rushed into the watertight compartments Wheth- CT the frame is damaged is still a mat ter of conjecture. If it is not, then the repairs can be made with compar- htive ease by merely replacing the damaged plates. The work of repair will be commenced at Opca

READY FOR ACTION.

The Vessels of Admiral Bunce's Squadron
 Take Their Positions on Charleston
 (s. @ Bar for the BIocksding Maneu-
 vers - Correspondents Cannot Get Up
 Communications.
 CHARLESTON, S. C., Feb. 9.-All eff forts made by newspaper correspond ents to board the war ships off Charleston bar to-day were futile. The Fern came up to the city for mail and provisions and the Marblehead was lying of the battery, but the other ships were strung out to sea for eight miles. The cruiser Columbia. which is furthest out, is from 16 to IS miles from the city. Early this morn- ing some signalling was done from the flagship New York, and, in con- sequence the ships began to move from the north to the south of the har- bor. The battleship Maine anchored little to the south of the lightship, which stands just six miles out from Fort Sumter. The Fern lies behind the Maine, the New York is half a mile further south. Half way across the main channel is the monitor Am phitrite. and beyond her and out to sea is the Columbia. It is supposed here that the ships have taken these stations with view to effectually guarding the south entrance to the harbor, and that further arrivals, the Indiana and Massachusetts, for in- stance. will be placed to the north.
 The Dolphin was nowhere in evil dence to-day and it is believed that she had sailed south, possibly to re- lieve the Newark at the mouth of the St. Johns river. The battleships Indi- ana and Massachusetts are expected to arrive of the bar tomorrow morn- ing.
 It is known that the Vesuvius has been ordered away from League Is- land, and she is to be the blockade runner, 1t is thought that she will come down the coast under her own orders after all the big ships are in position, and try to run into the har- Dor until detected. This is supposi- tion, but 1t is at least possible and proba ble.
 Efforts to get some detailed state- ment of the injuries done the ships during the storm have been of no avail. The Marblehead, when up to the city, gave little evidence of injury; her superstructure was battered some- what, but as one stood upon her deck she looked little the worse for wear.

 "Section 6. That any violation of the provisions of sections and of this act by any alien or citizen shall be deemed a misdemeanor, punishable by fine not exceeding $500 or by impris- onme mt for the term of not exceeding one year, or by both such fine and inn l prisonment in the discretion of the court; Provided, that all persons con- victed of violation of section of this act shall be deported to the coun- try whence they came.
 "Section !: That, notwithstanding the provisions of this or any other exist. ing law, the secretary of the treasury may permit aliens to enter this coun- try for the purpose of teaching new arts or industries, under such rules and regulations as he may approve" A new section was added as follows: "Section s: That this act shall not apply to persons arriving in the United States from any port or place in the island of Cuba during the continuance of the present disorders there, who have heretofore been inhabitants of | that island"
