THE CRAMPS MAY SUE.
Permission 10 lie Granted the Ship
builders to Appeal to the Courts

The Committee on Claims Of the Senate
has recommended the passage Of the bin
TO refer the claim Of the William Crarup
& Sons ship and Engine EuiIding Com
pany, Of Philadelphia, to the Court Of
Claims.
The act making provision for the naval
service for the fiscal year ending June 80.
1897. contained the following provision:
The Secretary OF the Navy is hereby
authorized and directed TO examine claims
against the Government which may ba
presented 10 him by contractors for the
building Of the hulls or machinery OF naval
vessels under contracts completed since
January !, 1891, where 1t is alleged thar
such contractors have been subjected TO
loss and damage through DELAYS in the
work under said contracts which were not
the fault Of AID contractors. but were
iJe to the action OF the Government. and
to report to the next session of Congress
the result Of said investigation and
whether said claims are. ia his opinion,
subjects for the jurisdiction OF the Court
Of Claims or for the action OF Congress
upon the same"
Under authority of this law the William
Cramp Il Sons Ship and Engine Building
Company presented claims against the
Government TO the Secretary Of the Navy
for loss and damage due to delays alleged
to have been caused by the Government in
the construction of the New York. the
Columbia, the Massachusetts. and the In
diana. In each case it Is alleged by the
contractors that the delays complained OF
were due TO the failure of the Government
10 supply the armor OF other materials in
accordance with the provisions Of the scy-
eral contracts under which these ships
were being constructed. and in the case of
. B., Nat hot 10,
by reason of the changes authorized by
the department in the plans and specilca-
tions.
The cllms aggregate on each OF the yes-
sells as follows: on account Of the New
York S2Il 0lS.3l: on account of the CO.
lumbia. Sl92, ,255.i9, on account of the
Massachusetts. $3.50. .7J7.ig. and on account
of the Indiana. SiS0. ~ 30
The committee has also presented
favorable report on the bill for the relief
Of the owner of the schooner Bergen.
Tile owner OF the Bergen claims that she
was sunk by collision with the United !
States steamer Periwnkle at the mouth |
of the POtomnc RiTer on the night of |
Jannary is, 1865, and proved a total loss. |
lie further claims that tie lights of the |
schooner were burning, that the master |
and crew of the schooner were without any |
fault. and that the collision resulted en- |
iirely from the negligence of the officers
of the Perwinlle.
At the Forty-fourth Congress the peti-
ton of Abiel Abbott for compensation for
the schooner was presented to the House,
March %, 1876; again at the first session
of the Forty-fitth Congress. and the second
session of the Forty-siSth Congress. but
no action was taken either by the House
or by the committees to which the bill
was referred.
