Conelnaina Recommendations.

In conclusion, the committee believe the
best interests of the State imperatively demand
change in the board of trustees, and the
treasurer having demonstrated his incapaeity,
should be suspended to protect the State
against further loss and extravaganza, and
proper steps be taken to collect from him tho
amount due the State.
That the organization of the hospital be en-
tirely remodeled By an act clearly defining the
powers and duties of the trustees and officers,
making it criminal offense for any of them
to exceed the power given to them under the
statutes.
That the salaries of the officers and compen-
sation Of the trustees, if any, be definitely fxed
by law.
That the appointing power, now lodged with
the trustees, having resulted iniuriously Co the
best interests of the hospital, the authority to
make such appointments should be taken from
them, and the legislature should enact law
requiring the executive TO appoint.
Respectfully submitted,

spects, priority of right of one class of yes
sells over another, and this privilege is siren
uously insisted upon by many navigators,
even at the risk of the lives of the passen-
gers committed to their care. 1t is not i'm
probable that in this case the collision was
brought about by some such conflict over the
right of way. Naturally passenger steamer
would have the privilege of a clear track over
a small vessel such as the Noel Eilian, and
probably the officer on duty at the time of
the disaster expected that the other vessel
would keep out of her track. The COM
handing officer of the Eilian perhaps had an
idea that he, too, had rights which the steam
er was bound to respect, and kept on his
course, even after the danger of collision
became apparent, and thus were eighty valu-
able lives lost.
We do not assert that this was the fact
We merely argue that it may have been,
knowing as we do the perversity of some Of
ficers of both steam and sailing vessels in
clinging to what they conceive to be their
rights, regardless of consequences either to
themselves OF their passengers. 1t is almost
certainty, however, that somebody was to
blame, either in the respect we have indi-
Gated or by reason Of carelessness in emitting
to properly signal the approach Of their
craft to the other. Accidents of this sort
are never causeless, and seldom un-
avoidable, if proper care is used, and
when this disaster is properly and thoroughly
investigated-as we have hope that it will
be-we shall announce the punishment of the
guilty person with the greatest of pleasure.
Human life, even with the best of care on
the part of officers, is never any too safe on
the ocean, and any carelessness or logged
adherence to real or fancied rights that may
result in disaster, deserves the severest pun
ishment.
