THE MARINE CONFERENCE.

The Committee On Sound Signals Re-
 port Several accommodations
 Amendments To Article 27 Regard
 ing Distress Signals.
 WASHINGTON, Dec. 5.-When the Inter- day, George Mares, chairman of the commit tee on sound signals which was imposed yesterday the duty of selecting fog signals for vessel not under command, or g vessel engaged in laying or picking up telegraph cable, reported that the committee had de- cided to give two new distinct signals for a ship not under command and unable to manoeuvre, as required by these resolutions, four short blasts, and for ship engaged in laying or picking up cable three prolonged blasts in succession; adopted.
 The section in the committee report pro- viding that vessel wanting a pilot may sound on her fog horn whistle or siren three blasts in succession, viz.: Short, short, long, with intervals of about a second, was laid aside for the present. The committee has recommended that the three short blasts of steamers, indicating their course to anoth- CT, shall mean "my engines sIe going at full speed astern," instead of 'T am going full speed astern," as provided in the present rules.
 The change recommended was adopted. The following new article to the rules of the road favorably recommended by the com- mittee was adopted:
 "Every ship may, if necessary, in order to attract attention in addition to the lights which she is by these regulations required to carry, show g fare-up light or use any de- tonating signal that cannot be mistaken for distress signal"
 Article 27 of the rules of the road as amended by the committee was then adopted as follows:
 Article 27.-When ship is in distress and requires assistance from other ships or from shore the following shall be the signals to be used or displayed by her either to- gether or separately; that is to say: In the day time. 1. A gun fired at intervals of about a minute. g. The international code distant signal consisting of square flag having either above or below it ball ol any thing resembling ball. 4. Rockets or shells bursting in the air with 8 loud report and throwing stars of any color or descrip. tien, fired one at 8 time at short intervals 5. A continuous sounding with any fog sig nal apparatus.
 At night: 1. A gun fired at intervals o about a minute. 3. Flames on the ship ai from burning tar barrel, oil barrel, etc 3. Rockets or shells, as described under da, signals. 4. A continuous sounding with any fog signal apparatus.
 M After recess MT. Goodrich offered reso1u tion reciting that in the opinion of the con. ference it is inexpedient to adopt course indicating sound signals for fog or thick weather, because, among the other reasons presented by the sound signal committee, il such signals were used in crowded water,
 danger would result from the uncertainty
 and confusion produced by the multiplicity of signals. The resolution was laid over and ordered printed. The conference then ad iourned until Monday

THE moNTANA DEADLOCK.

No Present Prospect of Compromise or Settlement.
 HELENA, Mont, Dec. 5.-Ths leaders of both parties have concluded that the Supreme court cannot meet until the legislature or ganizss and passes law fixing date for its meeting. Hence all talk of bringing the deadlock to an end by any action of the court or individual members of the legisla- ture has been abandoned.
 Neither House nor Senate transacted any business yesterday. The Republicans held . caucus, but after four hours discussion ad- journed without determining on any plan of action.
 The only stirring event in the situation is the fight of Power, Hirshfeld, Sanders and Carpenter for the Republican nomination for senator.

The reason why woman is afraid of a mouse is profound mystery-indeed, it has never been very clearly proven that she is. But some women are constantly in such a nervous, irritable condition that the slightest thing annoys and startles them. The cause of this unfortunate state of affairs is usually some functional Arrangement; some distress ing or painful irregularity, some derange- sex; or, it may be due to inflammation, ul- ceration or displacement, of some of the pelvic viscera, or to other organic lesions peculiar to her sex. From whichever cause 1t may arise, Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescrip- tion is a posttiue remedy, so certain in it's curative results that it's manufacturers sell it, through druggists, under a guarantee of it's giving satisfaction in every case, or money paid for it will be be gromptly .,- re neryine. Fayorite Prescription is une- duing nervous excitability, irritability, ex-- haustion, prostration, hysteria, spasms and other distressing, nervous symptoms con- monly attendant upon functional and organic disease of the womb. It induces refreshing sleep and relieves mental anxiety and de- spondency.
