THE NEWS OF BROOKLYN.
THE Ma\SSAClU:SETTS OUT.
LEAKS ON DKYDOCK NO. 3 COVERED
BY TIDE-WATEK.
WORK ON THE ??? RATTLE-PHI G FINISHED YES?
TERDAY MORNING-REPAIRS TO THE DOCK
TO RE BEGIN AT ONCE?EXTENT
OF THE DAMAGE.
When the last rivet urt? driven and tho connec?
tions were made there war. a final test of the valves
Of the circulating system on bonr.l the battlo-ship
Massachusetts, and the work was declared to bo
complete and safe. Then there was a sigh of re?
lief from those who had the e-nro of the big ship
on their minds, nnd the ord??r was given to flooil
the drydock in the Brooklyn Navy Yard. This
order wae given nt about 10:30 o'c'.ock yesterday
forenoon, end by 11 o'clock the ship was afloat.
For two hours previously the water from the leaks
?which had .aus? ? M much anxiety had been al?
lowed to flow Int? the aeek unhindered, and ???
pump that had kept the wotrr at a level which al?
lowed tho men at work on tht Massachusetts to
finish their ta.-ks WO* stopped. Tho wnter had
Increased Its flow rince Sunday night to such IE
extent that about ten Inches an hour was pouring
Into the ?Jock, and as this meant ton Inches over
an area BM feet !<-np ly M feet wide some idea of
the extent of the leaks may be had.
Who* IlM bratet had rea-hed the tide level the
??Trent pare v. rs BWungJ back, and In tow of two I
tugs the Maaaach-wetta ?ar?? tatua to the Cob Dock j
??rail and 11? <I up. Th? pat.? was not swunic back, |
and probably will not bo until the work of prevent- I
Ing ntiy further Influx of wat? r ha- BO far advanced
that the ?ta\gtaOtT? are confident that the dock will |
be safe
Various opinions have beer, expres.--.el rr? to the I
appearance of leaks In the ?tetero wall of the dry
dock, but thA engineers ore Inclined to believe that
It was due lo the water undermining th?? structure
and so king the oittl-t which offerr.1. the '.east ro- |
Blstance. if thai vi? w i* correct, it saeans an enor- I
Itimi? outlay of mop.y ?.id time h'for.? the do k |
Will be fl! for ure. as there Is apparenti-? nothlti?,' ?
to prevent the e. rrmnt loor giving way ???.?t the ?
weight of a ship. One Incident ?hick showed t'.o j
lr.roads of the water on the structure of the dock |
wa ? 11m appearaaoe of an eel, w-hioh had wriggl??.!
Its way between two of the altar-pi? COB in the west
wall nnd calmly flopped, down a few steps to the
water. The eel was about fourteen Incite? long and
an inch In diameter, showing that rome larga
cracks h.-.d been made in the wall. With the water
at high-tide level all evidence of leakage was cov?
ered up. but It is the opinion of the enclneers thnt.
While the weight of the water within the hi? losuro |
will prevent any bnlRinc of tho walls by tho proa*? |
vire of water on the outside, the att?mp' to pump
OUt the dock before preventive measures arc taken
would result in disaster No explanations of th?
presence of the water heyond those already giv??.!
have been offered, but that the driving of BlMOt
tpilirig along Ou? eastern edge of the basir, will slot?
the flow Is r?-carded as doubtful. A board, O in?
sisting ot Cnptaln C. S. ?perry. Clvtl Knclnee-r
1". S. O. White and Naval Constructor HlbhO, Will
rmko ?? careful investigation of tho diffleulty, ar.d
Commodore K. O. Matthews, chief of the Bureau r,f
Yards an.l Do-ks. who hire come from Washington,
will also look Into it. It has been raid that aill
weeks' time ;,i?,d t*Mt will be sufficient to drive the
wall of spiling mentioned, but there Is a possibility
that the whole structure, from the inner groove
I of the caisson to the ends of tho retaining walls
at the entrance, will have to be taken down, the
doek heir.?,' BOeorOd frnm damage by nn Inner cais?
son. This would cause a delay of four or five
months and an expense of at least ?25.00G.
The engineers attach no blame to tho contractors
-John Gillies, who ???.p? the work, or ? ?- ?.
Walsh, who completed it?ord as tho dock has b^en
accepted by the Governine it from the hands of
the latter firm, any work (ione now will be on a
new contract. The bh.me for the whole tronido
Is laid at the door of those? responsible for the se?
lection of the s'to, as It waj well known that the
ground Is of a sponey nature, almost a quhksand.
and that the old timbor basin of the yard, where
live oak was kept under water for preservation,
cam?? to wjihin ihiny feet of tho edge of the liti?
marking the border of the present structure. When
the exeavatlons were first made three different
rows of sheet spiling were found, and as two <>f
them were within tl?.?? lines of the dock they were
removed, but the- third one was expected to aid tbe
new wall in keeping water away from the dock.
The new spilinz was carried to 0 point ?lightly be?
low that called for in tht? contract, but th?? seepage,
so it Is said, has be. ? at work ?ver since forcing
Its way through, until a passage had been made
euffieiently large to overcome the resisting powers
of the walls, with the result that something had to
give way. That the walls, whil?? not keeping the
voter out. were Btrong ?-notigli to withstand tlv?
freat strain put upon th. m. and the battle-ship
lassaci,metta tret ii"t injured, is counted hy those
who have watched the dock as one of the best
pieces of ge.od fnrtune whioh could have been
wished for after the leaka started.
The tralnlng-ahlp Alliance was floated out of
Drydock No. 2 yesterday noon and will 1.'? pre?
pared for her svimmer etuis.?. Although no leak?
ned made themselves apparent In the older look. |
there was ? depth ol water m the door which was
not looked on with favor by th?? yard officers, arid
It is likely thai thli dock Will alto cine ir, for at?
tention at th? hands of the Inspection Hoard. It
was not admitted that the Alliance was floated oa
this acoount. but it i< kn v.n that there was work
to do on her which ?could be done to greeted ad?
vantage In th?? elO'^k than out of it. a nei it i> by
ro means c?-rtain that there is no danger ot trouble

At a conirrenco last night of rommissloner Willis.
Tax Collector Appleton, Walter B. Attcrbuiy and
other? It wa? decided not to n?k the Republican
(Y.unty OOfBIBlttOO, which meet!? tc-nlpht in the
Johnston Building, to indorse ex-Mayor Se;h Low
for tii" Mayoraliy of the t?reater New-York. The
preamble nnd r?sout.on promulgated list week, ret?
ting forth the ii'iallties needed in a candidate, Brill
ptObably he submitted tor adopiion, hut Mr. Low?
trim?? ?ill r : bo In the re.? ilu'ion. The change of
plan was prompted hy the opinion of man?, of those
most taterooted that it would be tajarte*?* to Mr.
Low's lnure.-t.? in pre?? the proper- I in ior.-emem
at thla time.
Mr. Willis told a Tribune reponer last night that
it wa? probable thai ? resolution would b!m be of
iti'i l to*nlght a; the meeting ,?' tha County Com?
milice, calling for th* appointment of a commit tee
to confer ?ritta "i.?.? political sodica known to be do?
.?irc.u* of electing aa anti-Tammany afay r. Believ?

to-nlghl might Invite Bornethtng akin to criticde*n,
Meajert*, Willi.-, Atterburj? and Appleton t\:ll Jo OJ in?
di 'atei!
"There is no doubt whatever, ' aald Mr. Willis,
"that Mr. Low la aa nearl] an Ideal candidate as
could possibly be fountl 1 bara yet io meet iba ,
Republican who holds thai the nomination would
not he the best that could he mad??. There 1? no
r.ouht that .he would cany Klnga County by ??
comfortable plurality. There la i.o doubt, citiur.
that th? various Independent bxllea which (< ir
thai so-called machine politica will dictate the nom?
InatIon would instantly indnrae Mr Loar They
could not do otherwise.'
"J.< Mr. Low Btrong enough ? Republican to Bull
the Republican lender1?''''
"He certain!) la Mr. Low la a Republican, but
first of all he la a magnlfleenl citizen, and lhat'B
the kind of a man ihe Republicana Will need in
nominate In order to secure the support of all the
foes of Tammany."
"Would Mr. Low he acceptable io Mr. Worth
and Mr Buttling and their friends In Kings
County?"
"i understand that the met? named have publicly
expressed their conviction that in order to defeat
Tammany the Republicana ?vi'i need a mar upon
whom all the opponents of Tammany may unite
Having granted iiu.t. they will noi hesitate to in?
?! ' <e Mr. Low if liier? is a atrong public senti?
ment in his favor."
Tax Collector l. Roaa Appleton, one of Ihe prin?
cipal adv?cales of ex-Mayor l.ow for ;)?? Mayor?
alty, said when he waa aeen by a Tribune re
porter:
"This movfrnrn: la strictly within the line- of th-?
Republican machinery of this city The fr:?*nda of
Mr. i.ow recognlsi hla fitness for the office of
Chief Magistrate of the city of :." w York afie?r
January ? next. Mr. Lou was the tirsi Mayor
elected to administer the affair.- of Brooklyn under
Its unique one-head charter, and in esperi?
gained there especially fita him for a Bucceesful
administration of the greater city under ihe new
charter. Mr Low, more than any other Repub?
lican, know.- the need:- of tie borough of Brooklyn,
and with him in th?.? Mayor's ehnir Brooklyn m.i

A DECISION BT JUSTICE KEOOH ON THF.
HALLoT-B< >\KS IN THS WARD-FAIR*
CHILD ELECTION CONTEST,
The delay in the appointment of committees in
the House of Representative;? flgured In the argu?
ment of a matter docMsd yesterday hy Justice
Keoph of the Puprem.? Court The matter War? a
part of the fleht over the election In the XVI t h
Congroaa Lustrici tasi fall betsreen William L.
Ward and Pen L. Palrchlld.
On May 3 Mr PatrchtM applied to Justice Keogb,
then Bitting In White Plains, foi a mandamus di?
recting the rollce Hoard of Now-Tork (''it> to operi
the ballot-boxes in the XVIth Congroaa Districi
and inspect the contents. In cas.? thla application
should he denied, Mr. Palrchlld asked that the
ballot-boxes and their contents he preserved until
the contest should he decided hy tht- House of Rep?
resentative?.
An aSMavtt waa presented by Rogfr M. Sherman,
Mr. Patrchlld'a attorney, ?mintr that, owing to the
fa^t that Speaker heed had not yet appointed th??
committees of the House of Representatlvee, no ac?
tion has been taken on the contest begun hy Mr.
Palrchlld. Both candidates were Hepuhllcans. A
court order was granted Just previous to tho oleo?
tlon of 1896 declarinK Mr. Ward to he the regular
R< publican nominee.
The affidavit states that Mr. Palrchlld bofiovei
his opponent's election to have been due to the
fact that his ?ta?us as the regular nominee waa
ftced hy this order. The ?'ourt of Appeals, how?
ever, has decided that Mr. Ward? name was Me?
gaily placed on the ballots OB the regular nominee,
ar.d that Mr. Falrchild'.i name should have heen
placed In the Republican column. Th?? application
for an InSpeCttofl of the ballot-boxes la mad" BO
that it may be determined whether Mr. Ward OW/ed
his election to the position of hi? nam? in th'? R<
puhllean column or to his popularity with the
voters. Mr. Sherman Baya that this fact can In
ascertained by Inspection, becauOB Mr. Ward's
name appeared not only as a Republican, but as an
Independen? Mr. Kalrchlld ran as an Independent,
and it is urged that a compariso'i of ills vote with
Ward's Republican VOte and Independent vote will
-eitle the question.
Justice Keogh yesterday decided the matter. His
opinion In full Is as follows:
I think the promisi?n of the eh-ctlon law which
Rives a Justice of in.? Supreme Court power to
open the baJlot-boa< ? and to examine their en
tents mean? that thla may b? done In som,? proper
legal proceeding In Which the ? our: can mak?? an
effective order. No pro.?.. dli a. In the court nor in
quii? by legislative committee h1 aa y? t been
besoin. Th?? application lo ?.??;, ih?? ballot-boxe?
and inspect the ballots la therefore denied. The
application to preaerv. the boxai and to prevenl
? i, destruction "? tbeir contint? unii) tr.c further
