Etsley, a CiaitDOoga attorney, ap- i peared in oppition, they claimiDgtbat tbe stockholders haa not been given a fair odd rtumtv to determine whether a receivership was necessary, and that in any event Mr. Luttrell, who has" been president- atd responsible for the man ageuient of the association, should not be' receiver. After a conference ot counsel and stockholders present it was decided to hold a stockholders meeting at Knoxville in thirty days. P-jndinfc such mealing, Judge Cars postponed action in the matter of permanent re ceiver, but plainly intimated that if therawasany o position to Luttrelfs appointment it wculd not be made per manent. , Tte etockhclSers hope to prevent the receivership being made permanent. and an effort on the part of outside stockholders to take the association out cr th- courts and continue it In the eae if The Savings and Bui'ding and Loan, Woodruff, its .pwdeat, was made permanent receiver and instructed to wind up the business at once.

Counsel for Owners Araue Aaainst the Motion-Early Decision Wanted, as Pub lie Interests Are at Stake. Wellington, D. C, Feb. 1. Attor ney General Harmon today submitted to the Suareme Court of the United States his petition for a writ of cer:i orari to bring up at once for review here the record of the United States Court in Florida in the case of the filibuster ing schooner Taree Friends, hotwith standing the appeal of -the case to tbe Circuit Court of Appeal. He coupled with the netition a motion to advance the case for an early hearing, despitt tha fact that the court was about to enter upon the February recess. Tne attorney general spoke of the im portance of the case and the necessity for an early decision, saying the ques tions involved were likely to arise at any time on the Atlantic coast. The rights of individuals, he said, sank into icr firnifieance in comi arison witn tne Dublic interests at stake. The owners of the vessel, he said, nnpht not o cbl j( t to the 8 ue of the writ, because if their eontuntion wa sustained, an early adjudication would certainly not irj are them, while if the cise went against them tne value or a small boat was all that was involved Mr. W. Hallett PnilliD?. of counsel for appellees, argued that the writ hnnld not issue because there was nothing in the record to show that the case had yet got into the Circuit Court of Anneals, whence it was sought to tring it to the Supreme Court of the United States. - After taking time for consideration, tbe Chief Justice announced that the petit'on had been granted and that the argument wonld be heard on Monday, the 15.h instant. - A Fiendish Father Suicides.

ON THE ROCKS III 1 f III CAPTAIN COOK EXONERATES THE PILOTS FROM BLAME. The Ship Was In Danger of Injury -by Ice, and, Trying to Reach a Safe Berth. Met With a Serious Accident. ; Washington, D. C, Feb. 1 Secretary Herbert has made ariangements to go to Charleston on the 17th inst. and spend two days while Admiral Bunce's fie. t is blockading that port. . Secretary Herbert has received the following official report from Captain Cook:, r United States Steamship Brooklyn, Marcus Hook, Pa., Jan. 30, 1897. Sir: The Brooklyn anchored off League Isl and and was dangerously beset by ice. have been quite anxious lest the ship be carried ashore by floes that were get ting heavier and heavier. Upon receiv. ng the throttle valve chamber on board yes erday noon I determined it was best to put the ship in a safer position if one could be found. I learned upon con sultation with Captain Sargent, of Cramp's shipyard, that a safe berth could be had at that yard I decided at once Howell to recommend to Commodore assisted by tugs, should go to Cramp s as soon as possible. . Commodore Howell approvfd of my re commendation. I made arrangements with the tugs and with pilots of ihe Red Star ine to take me through the ic at Oramp s vard and moor me there today, also with the -Philidelphra city ice boat 2o. 1 to break the ice around the ship and in the channel through the "Horsesh e. Three tugs arrived near the ship etwpen 8 and 10 a. m. The fourth tug was wedged in the ice at the "Horseshoe" and did not arrive ntil we reached Marcus Hook.. The ice boat No. 1 tiroke the thicker ce around the ship, where she had been wedged since the flood tide of the night before heading down 8' ream. I we c: e I anchor ana witn our own engines ard ihe assistance of the lus in breaking the ice, tried in vain to turn the ship. Finding I could not do so, m best resource seemed to be to make an afempt to get out of the river. The pi ot, an expe rienced and apparently intelligent man, said the tide wa fav rable and he advised strontrlv that I eo to Marcus Hook" and tie up at th ice pel and thus be ready to go on a favorabletide, on down the river. Being convinced that it was my best conre, I determined to go, hav iog previously called a second pilot from one of the tug-boats to keep the ranges with him, being desirous to use every safeguard that could be suggested. . ine ship steamed rapidly through the'ice and handled nerfectlv. 1 was about to con gratulate myself upon the success of the whole movement when she struck while passing " Schooner Ledge" and while she was on the range of the best water and having the assurance of such from the pilot, the navigating officer, Xieuten ant McCrea and myself also keeping the range. The grounding ot the snip was most perceptibly felt, and appeared like pass mer over loose stones: it was soon re ported to me that the double bottom com partments under tne fire rooms ana tne forward engine room were lull oi water. leaking through the manhole plates and rivets in some places into the bilges and forward magazine, which nave Deen readily pumped out and kept free. This is a most deplorable accident ana . m ! 11 one tnat nas ianen liKe a pan upon officers and crew thoroughly interested in the ship, her welfare and her career. From all the facts at present within my knowledge I feel that the accident came from no neglect of precaution orjudg. ment on my part. Pilot Wall holds a regular unnea States license as pilot, and insists that he had got the best range and cannot accojnj for the disaster and is entirely sustained in this opinion by pilot Ben nett. Kecent blasting at this Jeage, which, I understand has been going on, may have left some loose rock not be- ore in the channel. At the time of passsing the ledge, th tide had dropped not more than one foU be ow high wt.r, as determined by the water marks on the s'oce ice piers, where we are w m o ed a'. 'Marcts Hook." Tins ship will have to return as soon as tbe river is free of ice and tides permit, to League Island, discharge all her weights and go in -the dock. I request a court of inquiry to investigate and report. Very respectfully, ; ' F. A: Cook; Captain U. S. Navy,.Commanding. The desired court will be promptly or dered. . . . The accident to the Brooklyn is so similar to that which injured the cruiser Columbia in the Delaware river three years ago that naval officers believe the same obstructions caused the damage in each instance. The Columbia went down the river in May, 1894, but not-until August following was the discovery made ' that her. bottom plates had been badly scored And dented, necessitating $10,000 worth of repairs in the Leagve Island dock. A court ef inquiry exon e rated the officers, as it was shown that they used every precaution, and there no doubt at the navy department that the court which will, investigate the Brooklyn's misfortune will be unable to attach any blame upon Captain Cook and bis officers. Lewis Nizon reached the navy depart ment this afternoon with an offer from the Cramps to make good the damage to the Brooklyn at the League Islar d yard as soon as the vessel can be docked there, under the same terms that the Columbia was repaired ry them at the same place. Ihe latest d is- aster nas again started the controversy in the navy over the advisability of maintain ing the League Island yard, which repeated accidents have demonstrated to be difficult of access for heavy ships, and a strong effort will be made to close the yard or have Con gress dredge tne channel to an adequate - depth. Washington, D. C . Feb. 1. Secretary Herbert has accepted an offer prompt! made by tne Cramps today to make the cruiser Brooklyn as good as new in the nor test possible time at actual cost. Ihe Cramps are deeply concerned in the wel fare of the vessel, which is of their own construction, and for wl ich they will not be fully paid until tbe vessel has had her final inspection at sea several month her.ee. Mr. Nixon had visited the fhip before hurrying to Washington with he propo sition, and found tht about 125 feet of her outer plating on each side the keel had been bent ar.d i rn, liveis being sheared off aud st el p'atea ripped away in mny places. He ays all necessaiv tugs and lighters will be alongside the vessel tonight eett ng out the coal, ammunition and heavv stores to make the ship light enough to pass over the ledges oo her return trip up the river to the navy yard, where she will be docked for repairs. Oo account of the river current at the yard a bar has formed where the receiving ship Richmond is an chored. This br is too shallow to let the Brooklyn into the dock in her present con dition; but a dredge will be immediatel put to wo! k to open a, channel. The ice boats owned by the city of Philadelphia will be utilized to make a passage through the ice and no efFrt will be spared'to set the Brooklyn into the dock tomorrow. If ab( solutely necessary her heavy guns will be t ken off. It is estimated that the vessel can be made ready for pea again in about two weeks. In ih- meantime a court of in quiry will be held at the League Island uavy yard, meeting in a few. days. 10 BE li HR FW GOVERNMENT WILL PROCEED AGAINST THE THREE FRIENDS. To Test a Judicial opinion Conviction Considered Probable. i Washington, D. C, Fab. 1. Attorney General Harmon today instructed the United District Attorney at Jacksonville to proceed against the steamer Three Friends as a pirate. The prosecution will be against the vessel and not against her officers and crew, in accordance witii Section 4297 of the Revised Sta utes, which reads as follows "Any vessel built, purchased, fitted out n whole or in part, or held for. the purpose of being employed in the com miocinn if q n it wt ro t i 1 - a Tir rood i nn UiiOOiUU vx uuy jjii &iavwa Hg,i search, restraint, depredationor seizure, or in the commission of any other act of piracy, as defined by the law of nations, shall be liable to be captured and brought into any port of the United States if found upon the highse as, or to be seized if found in any port or place within the United States, whether the same shall have actually sailed upon any piratical expedition or not, and whether any act of piracy shail have been committed or attempted upon or from, such vessel or not; and any such vessel may be ad- judged and condemned, if captured by a ve&sei uuiuurucu as iicicaitct uicu- i 1 ...ii : j u. r A i tioned, to the use of the ' United States and to that of the captors and if seized by a collector, surveyor, or marshal, then to the use of the United States The purpose of the Attorney General in uringing ine prosecution ls iarireiy to test the opinion recently given by Judge Locke, of the United States Court at Jacksonville, in the-case . f the 4i Three b riends In discnarging ner omcers from custodv. Jud ere Locke held that there was no state of war in Cuba, and the Three Friends was not, therefore, engaged. in a political mission. AccSrd- intf to the understanding at the denart- ment of iustice. this opinion clearlv made the Three Friends amenable to prosecu- tion for Diracv. granting that the state menta made through certain New York! newspapers are true that she was armed and tired upon a Soani h vessel, for if her mission was nonpolitical she was engaged in armed attack on or resistance to a friendly state. The prosecution has an additional interest Irom the fact that the case will be heard before Judge Locke. No one here, however, believes that the varna ahnnt this linnrmnred tnir-1 ISriftt training a tnlitarr Hntrhkisa'ffnn gUI on a well-equipped Spanish gun boat can be sustained by the slightest fragment of proof.

The Recent Election In Delaware to Be Investigated A Large Number of Bills Passed In the House. -Washington' T). C, Feb. 1.- Immedi ately a;ter the Senate convened at noon Mr. Sherman moved an executive ses sion, stating that it would require but a short time. When the doors were closed he reported the general treaty of arbi tration as amended Saturday by the com mittee. The fit st- of these amendments adds at the end of the first article this clause: V "But no question which affects the foreign or domestic policy of either of the high contracting parties, or the rela tions of either with any other btate or power, by treaty or otherwise, shall be subject to. arbitration under this treaty except by special agreement' Tne second sinkes out, all reference wherever it occurs; to the King of Sweden and Norway as the umpire where' tbe tnbund f nils to agrte upon such umpire. Aft r the report was made, Mr. bher- mm asked that, inasmuch as the text of he Convention had bt en made public, he in j unc ion of secrecy be removed from the text of the amendment-", but ntor M rgan obj cted, and the re- quest whs denied, iso attempt was made to arrange a time for the consideration f the t eity, n r . was anything said ab ut debating it in open eessfoa. . The door wr- re opened at 12:45 and lei-lative business vaj proceeded with Various petitions in favor of the ratifica tion f the arbitration treaty were presented; among them one from the New York B ard of Trade, present d by Mr.-Hill, and one from the Connecticut Legislature, presented by Mr. Piatt (Rep.

The discussion then proceeded on Mr. Vilas s- motion submitted last Tburs day to have the bill recommitted.Mr.Vilas spoke of the inter oceanic canal pro Meet as a historic dream and quoted Sena tor Sherman's statement the other day that the canal couldn be constructed by an incorpra'ed company, and mus be built if at all by the government, and , .1 . t i ik i 3 a. h i also iliat ine Olll COU1U noi POSSlulV pass the Houe in the present Congress.

Western Mea For of tit Eight Place. Canton. Ohio, Feb. 1. The announce ment -made by Hon. J. 8. Wilson, of Iowa, today that he had been tendered' the portfolio of agriculture by MaJ. Mc KinJey, and had accepted, fills the cabi net with reasonable certainty, excepting the offices of Attorney-General and Tost-master-General. The McKinley-Cabinet to date, there fore, may be given as follows: Secretary of State, John Sherman, of Ohio: Secre tary of the Treasury, Lyman J. Gage, of Chicago; Secretary of War, K ass ell A. Alger, of Michigan; Sccre, ary of the Navy, John D. Long; of Massachusetts; Secretary of the Interior, Judge McKen- na, oi caiuornia; secretary oi Agri culture, James S. Wilson, of Iowa. Gov ernor Long and Judge McKenna have not announced the certainty of their appointments, and there is a bare pos sibility that Massachusetts may, be displaced by General Stewart L. Wood ford, ef New York. One of the unfilled portfolios will, of course, be given to a New Yorker, and if the foregoing list, giving five of the eight ofilccs in the Cabinet to the West, should bo the fixed slate, there is no likelihood that either the Postofflce or Justice Department will be directed by a Western man. One hastern and one Southern roan are expected to be appointed to these two va cancies. Prominent atnonc the litter cindi . o - - - - dates being Hon. H. Clay Kvan. of Ten nessee, since the declination of Judge Na than G6ffr of West Virginia. In addition to his cabinet appointments. Maj. McKinley has found time to fix upon Charles G. Dnwes, of Evanston, III., for the position of Controller of the Currency; when Comptroller-Eckelr commi'snion ex-j pires in 1898, or unless he resigns' in the meantime. Maj. McKinley and Mr. Diwes sincerely hope Mr. Ivckels will nee his way elear to retain his position for another yearj and his prospective successor being particu larly anxiom that the im predion shall not! get abroad, that he wanu to shorten Mr, Eckels' term.
