ner the probable causes of the minister's death.
Even the circumstance OF Mr. Camps throat
being cut was learned only from the undertaken
who had been summoned to take charge of tho
body. The undertaken had received st-ict in
structions to say nothing about the to any
body Friends Of the family absolutely refused
to give any information 1t learned, how
ever. that Mr.. Camp had left letter giving some
explanation Of his reasons for taking his life but
nothing could be found out in regard to it's con-

Mr.. Camp had returned recently from trip to
Palestine, which had occupied several years. He
went there, as far as could be learned last night
without any definite object in view, except to
see the mony places of interest in the Holy Land
and to continue his theological studies
Mr. Camp was born and brought up in Newark
where his family had long occupied prominent
position socially He was forty-six years old
was never married and lived with an only sister,
who, like himself, had never been married. They
occupied the old Camp homestead, where both were
born and where their father had lived for many
years. The dead minister had never been in
charge of any church in Newark but had fire.
qucntly preached in the city and had, after he
had entered the ministry, occupied temporarily
nearly every Presbyterian pulpit in Newark. For
the last four weeks Mr.. Camp had been suffer-
ing greatly from acute melancholia
and his disease was so severe in its effects that
at times, from his strange actions IL was thought
that his mind was permanently disordered. It is
that Mr.. Camp killed himself in partic
ularly severe attack of his malady, which made
him practically insane, yet it is hoped that the
of the letter which he left may throw
more definite light upon the cause of his deed.

MARINE CONFERENCE.

Washington, Aug. 10 tSpecaD.-Numcrous In
qulrcs are being received here to what has become
OF a bill passed by Congress nearly two months ago,
providing for an International Marine Conference, to
revise and amend the regulations and practice con
ccrninr vessels at sea. The lamcnfabe disaster Of
the Ccscr emphasizes these pertinent questions
II IS asserted with FEASIBILITY that revision of the
present obsolete code OF signalling, such the
ference Is expected TO establish. would either have
rendered the collision OF the Geiser and Thlngvalla
mpossble or would have clearly established cstab
Ished the crime OF manslaugh against the officers
Of one or other OF the steamers. The law calling
for this conference was passed unanimously by
Congress- with the approval of the leading mercantile
bodies in the country IL went into effect the 9th
of last July The time OF calling the conference and
the place OF meeting, were, by Ill advised amend
ncnt 10 the original bill which prepared by the
New-York Maritime Association, left discretionary
with the President. lie has not yet taken the first
step to carry out its provisions The law author
izcs him TO appoint delegates represen. the
United States and requests him TO invite the Govern
ment OF each maritime nation TO send delegates to
the conference Hc has done neither
The only explanation Is that there Is political
capital 10 bc made of the bill 1t simply provides
for greater security for hfe and property at sea- but
does not open the door for the appointment OF any
Democratic heelers.' Tho law designates that two
Of the delegates shall be officers Of the United atcs
Navy one an official Of the Lfc-SavIng Service, two
masters from the merchant marine. and two citizens
familiar with shipping and admiralty practice. There
is no margin left for political dlcker SO the Pres-
