as men and legislators. "

Pim.Al Kf.P„u, Feb. 2.—The fnlted
States steamship Brooklyn, the latest
Pride of th0 American navy, calculated
to withstand the fiercest onslaughts
of shot and shell, lies almost utterly
helpless be cause of a narrow ledge of
sunken rock in the Delaware river
above Marcus Hook, Pa., on which she
struck heavily Saturday afternoon.
IKr lower double eompartments, fop-
ward, were completely stove in. and
It was only by the merest good for-
tune that the big vessel did not sink
This would undoubtedly have been
result had not her inner compart-
inents successfully withstood the

^ >i „m ll,nP°ssl.blu to say when yie
will be able to go ,nto active service.
At present she is in no danger of fur-
t ier damage, being fully protected in
tilt safe anchorage afforded by the ice
breakers. How the accident occurred
can only I*, established by a court of
inqu ry. and this Captain Cook of the
Urooklvn has already asked for
i he exact p.ace where the vessel
, struck was on Schooner Ledge rock,
between , hester and Marcus llook, at
about :4", o'clock. What makes the
accident more deplorable is the fact
that this as the first time the ship
had been handled by the present
oft. irs and crew since going into com-
•n , e?rlv part"ecember.
1 he Brooklyn is the latest and most
modern pattern of an armored cruiser
in the navy, and was launched at
tramps shipyard October -j she is
the only vessel in the navy having a
compiete electrical apparatus for mov-
ing her turrets. Her cost, exclusive of
armament, was S'.V.iSii.oo,. Iter bat-
tery consists of eight cight-incli breech
loading rifles of -caliber: twelve live
