The maritime conference which meets in
Washington next week will be, in some re-
spects, the most important gathering of the
year. The subjects to be discussed are not
simply social, or pertaining to private business,
or limited to a single part of the world, but
concern all mankind, and the delegates have
for their chief aim the devising of means for
saving human life and property on the sea, re-
gardless OF place race or nationality. All the
countries of any account that maintain navies.
military or merchant, have arranged to take
part The topics selected for discussion are O
uniform system of signals and a code of rules
Of the road" means of communicating warn
ings of storms, OF rocks, of changes of buoys
and of abandoned vessels; regulations fixing
the proper load line of vessels and a track for
them to pursue in frequented waters, a system
of marking them. and plan for testing the
efficiency of officers and seamen, and the es-
Enlistment Of a permanent international COM
mission having these matters in charge and
gathering and disseminating useful Informal
ton. Many steamship collisions have occurred
within the last few years owing to
misunderstanding of signals in thick weather,
because the devices now in use indicate
merely the position of a vessel, and not the
direction in which she is sailing, whereas the
latter point may be the one especially neces-
sary to know. Again, the countries repre-
sented in the conference have generally some
sort Of lfe-saving patrol system in vogue on
their coasts; but when a ship is going ashore
in strange region, her company is often
placed at a great disadvantage through ig-
norance of the local methods of operation. If,
therefore, uniformity of method could be made
to supplant the chaos that now exists, it would
undoubtedly result in great practical benefits,
to say nothing Of the additional security of
feeling it would induce among sea-going peo-
pie. These examples serve to show the breadth
Of scope of the conference. The sessions will
probably continue until the end of January:
and even then it is doubtful whether the men,
beers will have finished all the work laid out for
them.

The canon reported to the Protestant Ennis.

The canon reported to the Protestant Epis-
copal general convention by the committee
on marriage and divorce, forbidding minister
to unite two persons in matrimony except with
certain ceremonious formahties, such as the
attendance Of two witnesses, at least one OF
whom, if not the minister himself, shall be &C.
quainted with the parties; declaring adulterous
the marriage Of persons divorced for guilt;
DENYING the validity of divorce for any cause
except adultery; and establishing penalties for
violations of these rules either by the clergy or
by communicates, shows that the committee
have strongly at heart the tightening of the
bonds which make home and family possible.
The axity Of the age in these matters is de-
plorable. 1t is growing steadily worse instead
Of better, unless all signs fail. Every exertion
Of church influence to check and reverse this
movement viii be welcomed.

With yesterdays tragedy the record Of deaths
In New York from ill-insulsted electric light
wires reached the startling total of twenty-one,
and yet it is the electricians themselves, the
men directly responsible for the damage done,
who condemn the new ''electrocution'' law be-
cause death by electricity is ''cruel and un-
usual punishment" within the meaning of the
constitutional prohibition. OF its cruelty it
scarcely becomes them to speak, under the cir
cumstances; and its unusual character must
have pretty well worn away by this time, when
one can scarcely take up newspaper without
reading Of a fresh fatality. The worst feature
of the matter as it stands at present is that it is
the ruffian element whom the electricians are
struggling to protect, while the men who are
daily being murdered by corporate greed are
from the hard-working, worthy part Of the
population. the bone and sinew of the state.
