Did Officers Refuse to Sail in Her? Tlio Alnbamn, Claims. ' A Reported Basis of Settlement. Tbe Ice Blockade at New York. The Death of Cen. Prim. Particulars'of the Assassination THE TENNESSEE. The Eoaineers Relieved from Dnty. A "World reporter, says that paper of to-day called on the proper official at tbe Navy Depart ment, having charge of the assignment of officers, and inquired, "Have yon heard, sir, the statement that three engineer officers assigned to tbe Tennessee were afraid to sail on her. And were relieved from that duty?" Official No, sir. If such a reason had been assigned they probably would not have been re lieved. Correspondent Were there not ofllcers as signed to her who made application to be re lieved from the order? O. I believe there were; but not for the rea son you alleged. C Who were they? O. Well, Engineer James Sheridan, of the Brooklyn Yard, was assigned, and asked to be relieved soon thereafter. C. What reason did he give for Dot desiring to go on board the Tennessee ? O. He gave no reason himself; bat his friends appealed to the department to let him off, as he Lad just got married. C Lieutenant Sheridan and his friends did not complain then of the unseaworthiness of the Tennessee? O No, sir. C Was there any other officer who did not want to go ? 0. (lielcctantlv) I believe there was another engineer named Snyder, of Philadel phia. C. What reason did he assign? O. He applied to be relieved because his father was at the point of death. lie was re lieved, and his father has since died, liut these two were tbe only ones who were positively assigned and then relieved from their orders to go on the Tennessee. C. What do you think of General Banks' statements about scores of naval officers de claring that they would pot sail on the Ten nessee? O. Many of them have doubtless said so in conversation, but they would not make tbe same statement before a court of inquiry. All who talk that way 'hate Porter. THE NAVAL CONSTRUCTOR'S VIEWS. Hon. Isaiah Ilanscom. Chief of ihe Bureau of Construction of the Navy Department, was called upon for his views regarding the Tennes see. He is a brother of W. L. Ilanscom, naval constructor, who was the subject of tbe lively debate in the House. Correspondent What do you think, Mr. Ilanscom, of the Tennessee? You build ships. Tell ns what you know of her. Chief Hanscom Well, I never looked Into the Tennessee, but from what I have been told and know of her she is a good ship. She was de signed by Naval Constructor Delano, of the Brooklyn yard, one of the best officers in the service. C But she has been remodelled by Admlra Porter. C. II. YCs, Porter ordered a board on her who changed the blades of her propellers, took out four of her boilers, removed her coal bunks from her berth deck and put a spar deck on her. It also changed the location of her arma ment. All this changed her centre of gravity, but still that may be all right. C. What engines has she? C. II. The Ericsson engines. The Tennessee was The old Madawaska, and was the trial ship for steam machinery, with the Wampanoag, between Isherwood's .and- Fox's engines. Her machinery having been reduced, her speed Is lessened very much. On her trial trip In New York Bay the Tennessee made but six and a half knots an hour; so you sea that she is a slow vessel. Now, if she went outside the Bermudas, as stated, - she makes a two thousand mile trip, and she Is not out long enough for alarm. My own opinion, from a knowledge other speed, is that there is no cause for alarm. If she took a shorter course, it is time she was heard from; but tbe report is that she went east of tbe Bermudas, which makes a difference of 5X0 miles. I o. Your brother, Mr. Ilanscom, thinks that the Tennessee is nnseaworthy. C. II. Well, he has seen her and knows more about her than I do. If I knew the plans on which she was reconstructed I could tell. A Washington correspondent says; ADMIRAL PORTER SANGUINE. Admiral Porter, who was called on, was very sanguine that nothing had happened. "Will yon be kind enough to give us your reasons ?" said the correspondent to the Admiral. Admiral Porter replied to this effect: "Ac cording to the course which the Tennessee would take, she would have to sail two thousand eight hundred aud ninety miles before she could be beard from in the ordinary course of events. It would take her ten days to reach Samana Bay. She would remain five days in Samana. It would take her two days to reach San Domingo City, and five days from tbe latter port to Havana. She sailed on tbe 10th, and would not have much more than got clear! of Sandy Hook on the first day. This would brine: her to the l?tb. Then allowing ten days to Samana would bring her to the Si7th. Five days In Samana would bring her to the 1st instant. Two days to San Domingo City would be the 3d instant, and five days to Havana would be the 8'.h instant. She had to cross the Onlf Stream dia gonally, against a four-mile current, which would be equivalent to a loss of one hundred miles on tbe day of crossing, and which would have to be added to the time. Allowing for incidental mishaps to new machinery not tested, leakage of valves, and little mat ters only to be known by those in charge, and another day or two may be easily accounted for, bringing us down to the 0th or 10th inst. So those having knowledge of the vessel and familiar with the accidental draw backs to a speedy passage by a vessel just over hauled and not subsequently tested, have no uneasiness as to her safety. THREE REASSURING REASONS. A high naval official who was appealed to for his views declined to allow his name to be pub lished, but submitted them pointedly thus: First. The Tennessee has no business to be heard from for ten days. The despatches from the Tennessee Bailed only arrived yesterday, nly eecona. it she ought to be neara irom, evan the necessities of sea life call for an allowance of many days. Third. She was a lire oak vessel, splendidly equipped, 'ntid well officered and manned. Fourth. There has been no bad weather, and go special preparation to announce her arrival. TOE ALABAMA CLAIMS. The Basis f rlilrmrnt Relieved I nave uecn Already Agreed urn. The Washington correspondent of the New York Tribune writes: , "It is believed that the Commission will not begin its sessions until about the 1st of March, as, under the most favorable circumstances, Earl de Grey, Prof. Bernard, and Lord Tenter den will not arrive here until the last week of the present month, while the successor of Sir John Koee has not yet sailed. It is supposed by some that the commission will be in session but a few weeks, as it is under stood that the object of the conference is not to arrange the details of a treaty or treaties covering the several questions at issue, but to determine the principles an 3 settle tbe policy upon which tbe details can afterward be nego tiated. This, it is claimed, is the view enter tained in administration circles. In tbe matter of tbe Alabama, for instance, the business of the joint commission will be to consider and settle the liability, and also determine the pro visions of law necessary to the meeting of such cases, and the responsibilities arising in the future. This done, tbe liability of Great Bri tain) or otherwise, for the other privateers will be considered and determined. In the matter of the fisheries, the commission will undoubtedly determine not only the proper Interpretation of present treaties, but tbe man ner and extent to which the privilege shall be made hereafter available to our fishermen, as well as other matters that may properly grow out of this concession. In this view of their duties the joint commissioners' business will ap pear to be the considering and sanctioning, in the high nnd grave manner .attaching to their dignified position, of the formulas and princi ples upon which not only questions now in dis pute shall be settled, but tbe basis on which others that are likely to arise, especially in re gard to our relations with British North America, .may be determined on. On tbe other band, it is the opinion of some that the basis of settlement of the Alabama claims Ins already been arranged between the two Governments, and will be given to the com mission on Its meeting, so that its duties in this regard are to be only nominal. This opinion gains strength from the fact that the correspou deuce sent to the Senate is so vague in regard to the duties and powers of the commission. General Schenck is known to have taken part In the preliminary negotiations, and it is be lieved that if w hat appears in the three letters printed is all tbe understanding arrived at during the late visit of Sir John Rose, Mr. Schenck woujd never have given his assent to the reopening of the questions at issue now. The members of the English Embassy are quite elated at the result of recent negotiations, re garding it as sure to inure to the permanent peace and friendship of the two countries. THE EAST RIVER BRIDGED. Over a Thousand People Cross on tbe lee The Tide Turn nod (be Bridge Moves The Hrrnniblo for tho ."lb ore fllasy Persons lies cued by llonts. The quantity of ice In the rivers yesterday was greater than it has been for several years. Not since tbe time when Mrs. Henry Ward Beccher and Mrs. Beach immortalized them selves by crossing from Brooklyn to New York on its slippery and treacherous surface has there been any occasion until yesterday when the ice has afforded a safe passage. But yesterday immense cakes of Ice which had been set free from tbe rivers and bays by the lace moderate weather were carried by the tlood tlde into the North and East rivers, rendering ferry travel difficult and uncurtain. As long as the tide was sufficiently strong the mass moved on up the river, crushing and grinding against the piers on each side, and sliding up one cake above another, forming huge boulders and miniature icebergs. Towards the end of the flood, however, tbe tide slackened, and at 1 P. M. the ice came to a stand, wedged tlgbtly against each shore, forming from Fulton up to Catharine Ferry a perfect ice bridge. TROUBLES OF THE RIVER CRAFT. At this time one of the Fulton ferry-boats was in the slip on tbe Brooklyn side, two were In the river, and the other in the slip on the New Y ork side. There was a tug, with some two or three lighters in tow, bound down the river, and another with a schooner trying to make her way in the same direction; then there was a Navy Yard tug bound to the yard. Besides these there were several other small tugs. All of these were at once ice-bound and stationary, as if in a Polar sea. ' THE FORLORN HOPE. . Soon the firm appearance of the ice tempted a small boy with a ekate on one foot and a ragged boot on the other to try its soundness. Carefully and timidly he got down from a dock just above the ferry and then growing bolder as he found i i 1 . .if. .. t 1 . 1 u : 1 i. . i. a i. tuai it uiu nut imii uuuer mo nomuu, un eiructi. out with a snout ana was soon skimming over towards New York on his one skate. Then another and another triad it from tbe Brooklyn side, and then, tempted by tbe example, another crowd started from the Peck slip dock on the New York side, limn numbers essayed the passage, men and boys and women, half a dozen of whom started, but only two had nerve enough to persevere and reach tue other side amtd suouts ot ap plause from tbe bystanders. Ibis passage across the ice continued for some time, tbe crowds gradually grew greater, and several itinerant dealers in old clotbes from Catharine street, with tbeir packs of goods on their shoulders, crossed the river In safety. Women gathered on the wharves, and seemed to pause, as it in deliberation whether tbev would at tempt tbe perilous journey. But few of the centler sex attempted tbe task, and the adven turous travellers were almost wholly composed oi errand-boys, dooiumcks, ana newsooys. MOVING OF TUB ICE. ffhortlv before 2 SO o'clock the ice commenced to move down stream, and a scene of an unusual and somewhat dramatic cbaracter took place About 800 persons, chiefly boys, were on the ice at tbe time. Over 100 men and bovs were on one large cake opposite to the Roosevelt 8treet Ferry. As tbe Ice began to move this crowd t men and boys gathered half-affrighted in the centre of the cake and awaited means of rescue At last an effort was made to save them, much to me gratincation ot tbe tbougbtless adven turers. The Government steauituir Catafa- lene, which was bound for the navy yard, steamed for the perilled pedestrians, and breaking through tbe pack ice, ran into the sheet of ice, and toon me irigntened men aud bovs on board, By this means 100 persons were saved. Others were barely auie to reach tbe deck of the boat as they floated past on smaller pieces of ice, but by means of ropes they were finally taken on board. Those who could not reach the tnr were taken on board by the Williamsburg ferry SAVED BT SMALL BOATS. A small boat was launched from tbe New York shore, manned by several sailors, which saved a number of people, about seventeen in all. The steam-tugs Clay and Lennox, wnicn were wedited in by the ice. were freed about o clock. and went direct to a party who were still on the ice, tut tney were rescued beiore tne Doats ar rived. NO LIVES LOST. Although many were In great danger do lives were ioeu ine more sensible oi me observers Cape Haytlen of the date when 1 nought that the police should have prevented this useless exposure of human life to dao-rer. h ie the "crosiers" stoutly maintained their right to cross as often as tbey pleased, and only ngretted that there was not some way in which tl ey could do this at all times, independent of prospective bridges and ferry companies. THE NORTH RIVER. Owing to the immense masses of ice that filled tbe North rlrer yesterday morning, Jersey residents doing business in New York met with considerable delay and Inconvenience before tbe ferry-boats Could force their way through tbe floating barriers of ice. At the Pavonia ferry fully two thousand persons had accumu lated before a boat could make its way to re reive its human cargo. At length, about 9 o'clock, tbe Jay Gould started, crowded with passengers, but ere she had got half way, en countered a field of ice which effectually put a quietus to her forward movement, and she was obliged to return to her slip in Jersey City. At length, after several efforts, New York was reached. The ferry-boat Delaware on her third trip had her rudder disabled by coming in con tact with a hnge mass of ice, and, after drifting helplessly about for two hours, was towed to her slip by a tug-boat. Another Account-Loss of Fonr Vessels. The ice in the East and North rivers was thicker and heavier to-day than at any other time this winter. Tbe immense quantities com ing up on tbe flood-tide in the morning caused a jam from Pier No. 33, East river, to tbe Brook lyn side, and from 1 o'clock until 2 a large number of persons passed over. Tne steamer Bridgeport, coming down, cut a large number off lrom the shore, but they were all taken off by the Navy Yard steamer. Three canal-boats and the small tug-boat On tario was sunk off Pier No. 18, East River, by the ice. Ferry-boats and other steamers were obliged to remain at their docks. At one time great fears were apprehended that Piers Nos. 88, 89, and 40, East River, and the lower part of tbe 8tatcn Island Ferry pier would be swept away by the large flakes of ice which struck them. The coal barge WlllIamJ. Thompson was sunk by the ice-field at Pier No. 'JO, East River. The police rescued the captain and his wife just before the barge went down. JV. Y.

No crime like that is ever born in a poor man's bouse. The most stupen dous crimes are ee gendered in great houses."

Bohorquez was tbe half-witted boy shot by order of Colonel Casails near Barcelona, after making use of him as a guide to conduct him to a rebel haunt.

Tbo Ilatrhet Hurled Ha tie factory Conjuncture oi too xwo role oi tne woman uuestion, A notable meeting took place at Ann Arbor, Michigan, a week or two ago, when for the first time Ants Anna Dickinson and Miss Lilian a. Edgarton laid eyes upon each other. They were counterparts long sundered, the former being, as all the world knows, a pretty, petulant, fiery little brunette, and the latter an imperial blonde. a massive Alruna maiden who might have sung to the "wolves oi the uoths" in search or As- gard. Miss Dickinson is an unflinching advocate of woman's right to vote, but Miss Edgarton thinks women should not be emranchised. For a long time they had vainly yearned for each other, but at last they met at a hotel in Ann Arbor, and each exclaiming "'tis she," they rushed like torrents into each other's arms, and tbe small brunette nestled within them, purring like a little brown kitten. Henceforth they would be as sisters, and the last that was seen of them was a tableau of the brunette sitting on the blonde's knee while both sipped from the same tumbler a liquid which the mgenions hotel clerk called a hot lemonade "with a fringe.''
