Ownership OF Vessels.

An important decision regarding the
managing ownership of vessels has just
been issued from the Office of the Com
missioner of Navigation. 1t is with ref
erence to the case of New Jersey slO0p,
where the claims of a man named Otis
to the managing ownership was disputed
by his partners, The decision reads.
The department has heretofore decided
that the law does not in terms require
collectors in dOcumenting vessels 10 be
guided exclusively by the record of CON
yeyances, and that questions OF owner
ship should be settled by the courts. AZ
ter such settlement the collector may
redOcument the vessel, III desired, I'D ac-
cOrdance with the decree.
The decision in this case will not effect
the rights of the opposing parties as to
the employment of the sOeD. See Story
on Partnership, 600 add 6l0, and C0nk-
ling on Admiralty, 253.
In eases in which there liz no other
ground upon which the claims or one
party to act as managing owner can
justly be preferred to those OF the other,
priority of possession as managing own
er may be justly taken into cOnsidera-
ton. 1t is not consistent with the pup
lie interests to leave a vessel In such a
condition that she cannot be employed
by reason of the absence of marine doc
pments If she il entitled to them under
law

Vital Statistics.

Hon. Harry A. Conant, secretary of
state, has issued a circular to the super
visOrs and assessors of Michigan calling
their attention to the act providing for
the registration of births, marriages and
deaths. Such registration must be made
the present year between April 10 and
June l, and the returns must be made to
the county clerk on or before the last
named date. Great importance is at
tached to having the returns made out
correctly, as upon this depends their
valuo. Whether any births and deaths
have occurred or not, the law requires
the report to be made to the clerk. The
Christian names of children reported in
1883. to whom names were not given at
the time, must DO reported in the list of
1884. Color or race should be specified
as white, black, Indian, white and Indi-
an. Chinese, ETC., and not simply as AT
riean" or "cOlOred." Many causes Of
death reported heretofore have not been
sufficiently definite to be of any service
whatever; therefore minute instructions
are given under this head to obtain more
explicit Information regarding the dis
ease. The occupation should be stated
in all cases, and for both sexes, and SUI
peryisOrs and assessors should also state
whether deaths wers of insane, idiotic,
or deaf and dumb persons. This Is es-
pecially desirable concerning those who
die at the asylum for the insane, and at
other state and county institutions.

North Shore Navigation.

Last November we published an inter
view with Captain Rice, of the steam
barge Keystone, which with her cOnsOrt,
Wells. run aground en- Whisky Island,
urging the necessity of having lights es-
tsbished at points on the north shore of
Lake Michigan. In the Chicago later
Ocean of the 10th we find The following
correspondence from Cheboygan bearing
upon the Importance of lights in the
same locality. We do not know positive
ly who the writer il, but have an idea
that we could make a pretty close guess
as to his identity.
CHEBOYGAN, Mich, April 13-As navi-
cation Is about to open for the season of
1885 1t would be well to suggest a few
plain facts concerning the north shore
passage to and from EscaLaba and other
points directly interested in the lake
transportation of this particular lOcali-
ty. The dangers attending it without
the necessary lights at intervals along
the shore to warn seamen on wild nights
are manifold. 1t may be said, however,
that few craft taks the north passage at
night. and it may be added that these
few have met with disaster. IL the ship
ping points would be developed on this
shore safe outlet and guidance must
intained for the benefit of Transports
tion, and the difficulties can be Obviated
only by the government erecting light
houses az points most suitable for them,
say one ut Seul ChOix and one on Whisky
Island reef, about twenty miles apart on
either side of tho passage. If this was
done ii would make this shorter route
than at present, and besides it would he
perfectly safe. No light would be lost
sight of the entire distance via north
shore passage. Many of the most care
