BRITANNIA REcoNsiDERs.
The Marine Conference Apparently
Finding Favor In England.

WASHINGTON, November 1.-THE inter-
national marine conference met at II o'clock
this morning. Delegate Hall of Great
Britain called attention to the fact that at
the time the British delegates were appoint
ed they were instructed to discuss only the
general divisions one and three as prepared
by the delegates from the United States be-
cause Great Britain was of the opini on that
the scope of the programme was too exten-
sive. Mr.. Hall then spoke of the marked
progress made thus far in consideration of
the rules read and In view of this he an
nounced that the British delegation had re-
ceived instructions from Her Majesty's gov
ernment to engage in the consideration of
the various divisions Of the programme pre-
pared by the delegates from the United
States. He had telegraphed home for pa
pers and other technical assistance to ASST st
the delegation in the discussion.
Delegate Goodrich of the United States
said the conference would rejoice at the de-
cision of the British government.
The consideration of the amendments
heretofore offered to the rules of the road
was resumed. The first amendment taken
up was one amending article six by provid
vessel being towed shall carry the same
lights provided by article three for steam
ship under way with the exception of the
white light which she shall never carry.
This was, adopted. After discussion the
amendments offered on the fourth instant
by Delegate Goodrich concerning auxiliary
dead lights were unanimously rejected.
The amendment of the delegates from
China that steamers might carry at night a
white light ON one of the after masts, visible
all around the horizon, not to be less than
twenty feet higher than the forward white
light, was adopted. 1t will be.made sep
arate article of the rules. An amendment
was adopted to article twelve providing that
every steam vessel shall be provided with
whistle or siren, sounded by steam or some
substitute for steam. The article was further
amended by providing that steam vessels
carry gong instead of a bell.
Captain Salvesen of Norway, offered an
amendment providing that vessel aground
or near fair way, shall in addition to an
anchor light show two red lights. This was
adopted. The conference adjourned until
tomorrow.

WASHINGTON Nov. 23.- DR.. Valente, the
Brazilian Minister. to-day received q cablo-
gram from Rio Janeiro saying that United
States Minister Adams had established rea-
tions with the Government now in control OF
affairs in that country. This Information he
communicated to the State Department. and it
is reported that he urged upon the Secretary
the expediency OF this Government instruct
ing Minister Adams to complete the act Of
formal recognition.
While 1t is doubtless felt by the State Depart
ment that the Republic Of the United States Of
Brazil has been established upon a permanent
basis. 1t is probable that the aot OF formally
recognizing through our Minister will be post
poned until there is an official head VI Chief
Executive chosen In pursuance OF some regular
method.

will probably be launched with complete Or
