Notable Women Make Public Their Sent i- i
meats Upon Arbitration.
New York, Feb. II. ? The following ciV- I
ciliar, which explaius itself, was made
public to-day:
"Tu the Women of the United States:
?We ask your earnest co-operation in
urging upon the Senate of the United
States to give full consideration ami rati
lication of the arbitration treaty between
this country and Great Britain,and with- !
out amendments which will cripple it
elllciency. The mother.-, wives ami the :
homes nf our land have the deepest Inter- |
est in the substitution of law for war. In i
times of con diet they* are the keenest I
sufferers, and, while tho nation's honor is
dear to them, whatever tern's to settle
disputes by reason and law, rather than i
war, demand their heartiest endorse?
ment. It is absolutely necessary that a j
universal public opinion in favor of this
treaty should find expression. Therefore
we ask you. without delay, to write per- ]
sonally to your Senators, to hold meet - i
ings, to send petitions and to aid by all ]
means in your power the completion ol
this great, act, of Christian civilization."

Harbor Off Charleston.
ALL OP THE INJURED BEAM EN IN
QUARTERS AT THE HOSPITAL.
NEWSPAPER REPORTERS FIND
IT DIFFICULT TO GET AXTI IN?
FORMATION AS TO THE DAMAGE
DONK THE RIG SHI??READY
FOR THE MANEUVERS.
Chiirlcston, S. C, Peb. U.?This moru- i
iiiL' n iixu; came ashore from the United !
States cruiser Marhlehoail, which Is'lying ;
a few hundred feet oil the Southern,
wharf. The gig was in charge cf Past
Assistant Surgeon A. R. Wcucworth, of
the cruiser, ami it carried the six seamen !
who were injured on tltc ship during the j
storm. The ambulances conveyed the
wounded to the marine hospital
Tii" injured sailors were .lohn Ryan,
blacksmith, right knee injured: .lohn 11.
Mickey, plumber. Real p wound ami nose]
injured: An?'rew .lacksoti) .seaman, nose
fractured and severe wound in the head:
Herbert Cosbornc, shipwright,small bone !
in right leg broken: Frederick ('. Potter, I
carpenter's mate,ankle sprained; Herbert
Lamar, a fireman, belonging to the trans?
port Fern, is also in the hospital sutler-1
inn from a badly lacerated leu'. .All of
the Injured were given the best, medical
attention and placed in comfortable
quarter.'?. They are doing well, and will
probably he able to rejoin their ships he
fore thi- blockade is over.
The .Fern came up to the city at HI j
o'c lock this morning for mail and sup- ;
piies and, receiving them, ret urned to the I
lightship, oil' which the squadron is lying j
in the position which it occupied last j
night. All the vessels tire busy getting I
to righfs and it is not probable that any
attempt at maneuvering will he made he
fore to-morrow.
All eltnrts made by newspaper corres?
pondents to board warships off Charles?
ton liar to-day were futile. The Fern 1
came up to t lie city this nioriiinir lor pro- ?
visions and mail and the Marhlehead was '
lying off the batter}*, but the other snips !
were strung out to sea beyond the jetties
for 'i distance of eight miles. The cruiser I
Columbia, which is the furtherest out. Is j
from hi to is miles T from the city.
Early this morning some signaling was
done from the flagship New York, and in
consequence the shins began to move
from the north to the south of the har?
bor. The battleship Maine anchored a '
little to the south of the lightship, |
which stands just six miles out from |
Port Sinnier. The Fern lies behind
the Maine, the New York is half a mile
further south. Half way across the
main channel is the monitor Amphitrite,
and beyond her ?ml out tj sea is the |
Columbia. j
It is supposed here that the ships have '?
taken these stations wit!, a view to
effectually guarding the south entrance .
to the harbor, anil that, future arrivals,!
the Indiana anil Massachusetts, for ill- ,
stance, will he placed t>> the north. The
Dolphin was nowhere in evidence today,
and it is believed that she h\s 'sailed j
south, possibly to relieve the '.Newark at j
the mouth of St. John's river. The hnl
tleshlps Indiana and Massachusetts ?re j
expected to arrive tomorrow moriliBg. |
It known t hat Vesuvius has been or- i
ilered from League Island and, as she is .
to be the blockade runner, it. is thought ?
that she will come down the coast itn- |
der her own orders after all the warships
are in position, and try to run into tile i
harbor undetected.
Every effort has been made by reporters
to get some detailed statement of the in- !
juries doue the ships during the storm,
hut it has been of no avail. The Nimble
head when up to the city gare little evi?
dence of injury. Hersuperstrtictuie was
haltered somewhat, but as one stood
upon her deck she looked little the worse
for wear.
At a meeting of the city council of
Charleston held to-night an invitation
uns extended to ^the governor of South
Carolina and tic- general assembly to
visit the city on the 18th, when Secretary
Herbert ami Admiral Dunce and oflicers
