SINKING OF THE INGALLS,.
Federal Authorities to Investigate
the Accident.


New York, June 15.-Pending investiga-
tion by the Federal authorities, John N
Robins of the ]. N. Robins Company.
refuses to make a statement concerning
the sinking of the United States trans
port ingalls, in the Erie basin yesterday
So far as known the accident caused the
death of one man, and the injury OF more
than thirty others.
The greater number of those injured
are in Seney Hospital, Brooklyn, where
it was said to-day that several were in
serious condition. Those in charge at
the dock do not think that there are any
dead in the basin, although the fear was
expressed in some quarters that work
men might have gone to the bot tom wnen
the transport turned over.
w. d. Dickey, general manager of the
Robins dry dock, stated that after a
special roll call and a searching inves-
tigation among the company's workmen
he felt safe in saying that the death of
Martin Anderson would turn out to be the
only fatality connected with the capsiz-
ing of the ingalls,.
When the Ingalls, struck the side of the
dock she lay with her smokestack on
almost an even line with the ground, but
since then sufficient water has been
pumped in to right her considerably. Por-
tions of the deck are severely crushed.
and 1t is feared that number of her
steel plates have been started. The gen.
eral damage, however, is reported to be
considerably less than at first supposed.

AGAINST GREAT BRITAIN.
American Jurists Asked for Their
Views ON Annexation.


Views ON Annexation.
London, June 15.-The International Ar
oitrauon and Peace Association has sent
a letter to a number of American and
European jurists of International repute,
asking assistance to clear up questions of
the law on annexation and the rules of
warfare. The committee having the mat
ter in hand, which enclosed the parlia-
mentary return on farm burning in South
Africa. considers it desirable to obtain the
collective authoritative opinion of the
leading jurists of the world on these sub
jects:
Events in South Africa and those which
have recently occurred in Cuba and the
Philippines" writes the committee, seem
to call for such an expression of opinion
from those who have devoted themselves
to the study of the philosophy of law, as
1t may exercise an important influence
upon both the people and the govern
ments."
The letter, which is signed, among
others by Felix Moscheles, chairman of
the international arbitration and peace
Association, encloses what is described as
rough enumeration of the opinions of
recent writers" All those who are quot
ed, deny the right of annexation by force
except by the authority of the congress of
the states or the declared will of the
people
The enclosure winds up with pointing
out that the British nominal annexation
of the South African republics" is in con-
tradiction of the above judicial opinions.

THE BETHLEHEM COMPANIES.
StOclxh oIders to Meet to Consider
Schwab's Proposiffon,

Philadelphia, June 15.-The meeting of
the Bethlehem Steel Company Is to be
held for the purpose of deciding wheth-
er the company shall be sold to Charles
M. Schwab president of the United
States Steel Corporation. II is now re-
garded as certain that Mr.. Schwab has
secured the controlling interest in the
Bethlehem Steel Company by the pur-
chase of the Linderman interests, amount
ing to 10000 shares, the Wharton hold
tngs of $4,000 shares. and at least 1900
shares in the open market. Other stock
holders. It is understood, are to be given
an opportunity to sell their holdings at
the price paid by Mr.. Schwab.
It is reported that Vickers Sons e.
Maxim, the English firm, have agreed 40
pay the price paid by Mr.. Schwab and
that eventually the Bethlehem Steel Com
pany will pass into the hands of the
Cramp-Vickers combine. The consolida-
ton Of these interests 1t is said, will re-
suit in the building of complete war and
merchant ships. The Vickers- Maxim
Company, 1t is said, will pay s24 share
for the Bethlehem stock.

THE COURT OF ARBITRATION.
Last of the Fifty-five Judges of The
Hague Court Appointed.

Berlin, June 15-F. w. Hollis, United
States member of The Hague arbitration
court, during an interview to-day in
formed the correspondent of the Asso-
ciated Press that The Hague arbitration
had only just been organized by the ap-
pointment of the last of the flfty-1ve
judges. but several International Ques-
tions are already before the court. The
Transvaal question was certainly not one
ference had decided that the Boer states
were not sovereign states. The court will
not be in perme nent session, but will only
act when suitable questions are presented
to it, when the court will select a bench
to adjudicate each question.
Mr.. Hollis said both Count Won Buelow
and Baron Won Richthofen, the foreign
minister, had received him in the most
kindly manner, evidently sharing his be-
lief that The Hague court was like the
Magma Charts, an agreement around
which future international law will crys-
tallize. Hr. Hollis believes the Emperor
the German government and the German
people are now sincerely in favor of The
Hague arbitration court, on all questions
which seem to properly belong there. Mr..
Hollis thinks this is all the more remark
able because Germany, during the confer
ence in 1899, had at first a number of Sc
roius, weighty objections to urge against
arbitration But she has now honestly al
tered her opinion

tails.
washington, June 15.-The news dis
matches from Pekin convey to the official
mind here the belief that what is known
as the British-American plan of settling
the indemnity question, is making head
way. and that it will be adopted in the
end as the only feasible scheme. The
firm attitude of the United States in de-
Ginning TO enter into a joint guarantee OF
the enormous bond issue is believed to
have had its effect in inclining the min
isters to accept the British-American
nroposition 1t is certain that any move
ment toward the settlement of this IN
demnity question must result in unaninl-
itv to be effective. Although often men
toned, details of the British plan have
not heretofore been given, and they were
learned to-day from an authoritative
source to be as follows:
The Chinese government is to issue
bonds to each of the Powers to the
amount of the indemnity due each.
These bonds are to bear per cent. inter
est with clause providing one-half per
cent for amortization. Certain of the
Chinese revenues, not specifically desig-
mated in the proposition are to be ear
marked for the liquidation of the bonds.
committee appointed by the foreign
Powers is to take charge of questions re-
iating to the revenues thus ear-marked,
and the committee is to arrange details
bv which the revenues are to be applied
on the bonds. In case of default on the
bonds. the default is to be to the com
mittee and not to the several Powers.
The foregoing is in substance the entire
proposition, but later it was proposed in
addition that the period of the bonds be
thirty years and that they be issued in
installments. In this form the PROPOSE
ton stood up to within a few days ago,
but it is not known in what particulars
It may have been modified by the minis
ters.
Russia May Accept the Plan.
St Petersburg, June 15,-It can be stat
ed on competent authority that Russia
now anticipates an early settlement of the
pending difficulties concerning the mode
Of payment of the Chinese indemnity.
Russias position is that any method is
acceptable which does not conflict with
the basic principles of Russian policy.
Russia did find objections to the British
plan, but not to the bond plan in itself.
She declined to assent to arrangements
which would diminish autonomy, oppos
ting all forts, condomimum or enlarged
control of the Chinese finances

Enter West Point Now.
Washington. June 15.-Secretary Root
has at last been enabled to put into prac-
tice his long-chershed scheme for rails
ing the standards of admission to West
Point. The Secretary has urged in his
reports to Congress that the standards be
elevated for the reason that a large part
of the time of the cadets at the military
academy is necessarily given up to ele-
mentary studies. with which any high
school boy should be thoroughly familiar.
BY advancing the standards to correspond
to the graduating standards of the high
schools of the country, the Secretary
believes that he will be able to secure
great economy of time at West Point and
considerably advance the graduating
standards for that Institution.
The Secretary finally secured the con-
sent of Congress, which authorized him
to fix the courses of study at the Lacade-
my and to-day he issued an order, which
goes into operation May l, next, adding
English literature, algebra and plane trig-
onometry to the present course.

sued by Gen. Wood, compiling the various
orders now in force governing marriages
in Cuba. The order sets forth the cere-
