ORDER OF BUSINESS,

On motion OF Mr.. Goodrich these resolutions
were adopted: That upon the decision of ques-
tons each nation represented shall have one
vote; that the conference proceed with the dis
cussion Of general division I of the program
and continue until the consideration is com
pleted, and that the international rules be con-
sidered article by article.
admiral Franklin announced that the French
interpreter and stenographer attached to the
conference was unavoidably absent and asked
whether the conference desired to proceed to-
day without him, the discussion to be altogether
in English. There was no objection to this
and Mr.. Goodrich moved that the general dis
cussions Of the conference be conducted In
English or French, and that the daily protocols
be printed in both languages.
THE FIRST ARTICLE OF THE RULES
was read, as follows:
''1n the following rules every steamship
which il under sail and not under steam is to
be considered a sailing ship and every steam
ship which ID under steam. whether under sail
or not, is to be considered ship under steam -
Delegate Goodrich opened the discussion by
Offering substitute in which the word ives.
sell was used in place OF the word .ship. /"
The reason for this, said Mr.. Goodrich. Was
based on the very indefinite idea that preyaiIs
as to the exact meaning of the word ..ship. |"
he argued that the other term was more COM
piohonoi'c ono mor0 Uennlte as well. For
the first time in the history Of the
world there was to be conference of all the
maritime powers to formulate a code of mil
versal regulations, and 1t was most important
and desirable that the product Of its iabors
should be as near perfection as possible. The
rules OF the sea, he said. are to be Construed
literally, 80 that, begging the pardon of the
conference Tor the nnintentional pun, an illit-
crate sailor might understand them
there are two forums, he reminded the con.
ference, In which these rules are considered.
one the deck OF ship, where all Ii confusion
and noise and haste, and the courts of law
where the subject is looked upon with thu
greatest deliberation, and it il quite important
that the regulations should be- Applicable 10
both situations. He quoted Webster TO illus
trate the ambiguity Of the term.
Delegate Hall said that he agreed with thu
American delegates that the greatest care
should be exercised in the formulation of the
new code. but be thought the discussion of
tins matter should be left until the French
stenographer was present The same point
arose in
THE SECOND ARTICLE,
which stipulates a. to the lights to be Carried"
by vessels. The word ''carry," II was urged BY
Capt Selverson of Norway, might be improved.
This brought up the discussion of the method
OF conducting the conference, Mr.. veruay, the
representative OF Siam, suggesting that COM
mittees be formed.
This proposition was seconded BY Minister
Romero OF Mexico, but was opposed by Messrs.
Hall and Goodrich, the latter being of the
opinion that better information could be OBJ
tanned and disseminated by means of the gem
eraa and epeu diseuseien of subjects n con-
