From the american Sentinel


Much as has been said about the cause of the ac-
cident on board the Medora, by which so many lives
lost-many as have been the inquiries instituted
into the why and wherefore-minute as have been
the Observation-Disclosures as have been the de-
scrptions of it, and voluminous as have been the
thereto, the cause of the accident has, In our
opinion, been overlooked. 1t has been said that the
explosion was produced by placing too great weight
upon the safety valve, which regulated to allow
the escape of steam after the accumulation of six
inches, which number Of inches could not, by posi-
bility, have caused the explosion. No doubt it was
so caused. But what induced the engineer to in
crease the weight and suffer an accumulation of
steam SO much greater than the capacity Of the boil
to resist? 1t has been insinuated that the
unfortunate did with the design of producing
the catastrophe--no one believes that he had any
other motive than desire to increase the speed of
the boat If he had been better acquainted with the
nature and understood the tremendous power of the
agent with which he was dealing-if he had under
stood the relation between boller engine and valve
the and effect, he would not ,oa,tonly have tam
pered with the latter. He would have known the
fearful jeopardy in which his own life and the lives
of those board would have been placed, and this
knowledge would have insured the lives of all those
who are numbered with the dead.
1t was his IGNORANCE of the terrible agent, steam
which, to crafty short-lived ambition, led him in
nocently to do that which, in instant so many
human beings into eternity, and brought sorrow and
distress into SO many families Ignorance, then,
caused the disaster. How many more useful lives
(and whoD are to be destroyed by the same cause?

Colonies, to remedy which, Parliament IN June 1917
opened certain specified ports in the West Indies and
North American Colonies for the importation OF GER
tain enumerated articles either IN British vessels or
in vessels of the producing nation provided only that
the voyage should be direct and also for the exporta
ton of the produce of said Colonies direct to the
country to which the vessel might belong The priv
eges of the Act confined to the vessels OF such
countries should grant like privileges to British
sells in their ports. On the receipt of this Act, the
President having been previously authorized by Con-
gress issued his Proclamation opening the American
ports to British vessels in the colonial trade, terms
which he deemed reciprocal said vessels being among
other things restricted to direct voyages. Under this
arrangement as will be from the table, our trade
with the West Indies revived, and so continued until
1926 inclusive, in July of which year royal order
was issued closing the ports of the West India Colo
MES against American vessels On the 18th of March,
1897 the compliment was returned by the President,
who issued his proclamation declaring the trade be-
tween the United States and said Colonies to be pro-
hibted. Accordingly, by reference to the table, 1t
will be that for four years, beginning with 1927
direct trade with the British West Indies was al
most nothing
In October $780, both parties being tired of the
strictive SYSTEM the trade reopened, under the
arrangement which is still in operation and which is
revocable at the pleasure of either government 1t
is curious fact that trade with the British Colo
MES has never yet been regulated by Treaty. Under
the present arrangement, the vessels of the United
States are admitted to all the 'free portsn so called
about sixty in number 0ncludng those in the North
American Colonies,) on payment of the same tonnage
duties and other charges British vessels provided
the goods composing the cargo be the produce of the
United States and imported directly from the United
States.

ballast for any foreign country whatever
