Precedent to an understanding of the

July. IS61. the bellIgerents entered into an
agreement. or cartel, to regulate the eN-
change Of prisoners. One article in this
cartel. the fourth. provided that all pris-
oners OF war be discharged within ten
days Of capture and restored to their own
lines. at the expense Of their captors, on
signing a parole. which was a promise
not to take up arms until regularly ex-

The process of exchanging prisoners on
parole was to be by means Of lists. duly
authenticated and exchanged.
Another article provided that each
party upon the discharge of prisoners OF
the other party Is authorized to discharge
an equal number OF their own officers or
men from parole"
The cartel designated NiCksbGrg and
AikeHs Landing on the James. near City
Point. as the only places at which pris-
oners paroled or exchanged could be de-
livered II provided that any disagree
ment as to the various articles OF the
cartel should not interrupt the release Of
prisoners on parole.
The two articles mentioned were the
basis OF the cartel, and controversies
as to their construction led to nom
observance of the spirit of the agree
ment from the first
Measure n Necessity.
The negros standing as soldier early
became a bone OF contention. The South
would not recognize the negro. who had

the cartel. This and other pOlnts-suCh

blocks to a general exchange in the early
days of the carters existence.
No insuperable obstacle TO observance
of the cartel arose, and yet lesser OBJ
staCles served to invalidate its main
terms-that all prisoners should be pa
rolled.

Sperry Mill company's dock, so
feet of dock crumpled up like
pasteboard. The supports of the
aerial tram, used for shooting
sacks Of flour from the Sperry
plant, over the Northern Pacific
tracks to the outer dock, were car

collapsed with an ear-splitting
crash. The tram lay across the
railroad tracks today, a crumpled

A great hole, in triangular
shape, and Is feet wide at the top,
was torn in the bow of the Hy-
AIDES. The plates under water
were not damaged, and the big
liner was able to proceed later in
the day to the Puget Sound dry
dock at Seattle for repairs. A
smaller hole was torn in the star
board bow of the Canada Maru,

as the engineers quarters.
BY an apparent miracle none of
the crew, asleep in the forecastles
of both vessels, were injured or
even scratched by the broken
plates of the ships.
