THE BROOKLYN DOCKED.
The Big Cruiser Damaged More Than at
First Thought.

FlrSt IhOuSnt.
Philadelphia, Feb. 9.-The cruiser
Brooklyn, which struck on Schooner
Ledge in the Delaware river below Ches-
ter, Pa, on the Both ultimo, was safely
locked ut 9:23 this morning
The cruisers draft is so nearly equal TO
the depth of the dry dock that there was
but n half hour in which to fix her posi-
ton before the flood tide receded.
The blocks upon which the keel ana
iEtercOstal lines of the BROOKLYN rests
were placed yesterday according to meas
urcmcntS made from the docking plan Of
the vessel and sights affixed at either end
of the dock correspondent with sights on
the central line of the cruiser, which was
uscd in adjusting her position to IL ncety

grooves after The entrance of the Brook.
lyn into the dry dock. y diver was sent
down to see that no sunllen logs or
other impedments were there to inter
fere with its settling in the proper place
After the gateway was closed the water
vas pumped ont of the dock. Ii is snid
that the damage to the cruiser is more
serious than ut first anticipated. The
plates are bent and crushed, having great
gaps in them through which the water
rushed into the water tight compart.
ments Whether the frame is damaged
is still Il matter of conjecture If it is
not, then the repairs can he made with
comparative ease by merely. replacing the
damaged plates. The work of the repair
will he commenced at once
The break extends along the vessels
bottom on either side of the keel in long
seam, beginning about 100 feet from the
bow and running to the same distance
beyond amidships, perhaps 200 feet in ALL
The seam is about three feet in width Gu
the port side and somewhat narrower on
the starboard side.
The plates covering this area are denied
to the dcpth OF nearly ten inches, and
are cracked in places like so many sheets
of paper. Through these cracks the water
rushed into the compartments, but the in
ner shell or false bottom of the vessel was
intact and admitted no water. The dam
age to the blade of port propeller does not
amount to much and it is supposed it will
not have to he replaced. The ship carries
an extra blade, which can he used if nee
essary, however, and Il new one may be
made to keep in stock. y piece four
inches wide and perhaps seven or eight
inches long has been knocked Off the end
of the blade, but that will not materially
affect is utility. \ similar piece of per-
haps one.tenth the size is missing from
the starboard propeller.
Chas. II Cramp, president of the Cramp
Shipbuiiding Company, in discussing the
l8rooklyn's injuries, said that lit was i'm
possible to tell as yet whether or not any
of her ribs were damaged.
They are getting the mud out of her
bottom now he said, land we will know
about her ribs in IL day or two. The bot.
tom plates are twenty feet lor.g and as we
will have to have twelve new ones made
the Brooklyn will probably he ut least
four or five weeks undergoing REPAIRS
Asked what the cost Of repairs would
amount to he said that it could not hc
estimated ut present, and he would not
make it public anyhow.

Proclamation bv the Governor
 Requesting Its Observance.
TERRITORY OF ARIZONA,
 EXECUTIVE DEPAkTNEN

EXECUTIVE DEPAkTNEST.) The laws of the United States de.ig- nate the frsi Monday in September of each year as a legal holiday to be known a Lato Day.
 When we reflect tha. labor is the foundation and creator of all wealth tha. upon it depends all happiness and all excellence; that 1t is labor that builds up great States and car ries on the commerce Of the world, the wisdom Of this enactment is sp> parent, and especially is It so when applied to the people of our territory who are laboring to develop it's various resources and establish for themselves happy homes. Our busy and indue- i uious communities contain but few drones, hence nearly all can be right fully clsssed As laborers-the me chsnic, the merchant, the miner, the lawyer, the farmer, the divine, the banker, the physician, the teacher and the clerk, ss we'll as be who per- forms the more severe task of daily manual labor, are lsborers in the best sense of the word, for while many earn their daily bresd by the swea: O! their face and others by the work Of their brain, they ore all toileis. A general observance oi the day SO wisely set apart by Gel gress will tend to promote a higher appreciation oi the dignity Of labor and the great part i, is taking in the building up Of cur Territory and the great Republic ol which VIC hope soon to become State. To bring labor of all kinds into closer relations with itself and with other interests, 10 inculcs,s a friendly iesl- ing and hearty cooperation between labor and cirital, thus encouraging good will between sll classes of the community with a view to pleasant and recip-c cal relations. is the great ohiec. of this observance 0! Labor Day.
 New. therefore, I, Myron II. Me Cord, Governor of Arizona. do pro claim and declare Monday, the 9th day oi September, 1897, legal holi- day, and do most earnestly reccm- mebd that all business cf wha,eve: natl r9, excap p: such IS the necessities nf the community require ;o to car .;ed on, be suspended on that day, that sll who desire may have an o,- portuni.y to observe the day in a manner beft:ins ths importarce of the occasion.
 Let us not forget that Labor Day is ss important and to future genera tions will become as suggestive and inspiring as the religious and patriotic holidays that our people 60 Loyalty and reliRious'y observe.
