Mr.. Blaine's address Of welcome to the
Marine international Conference yesterday
was in his usual happy vein and included q
very striking epitomization OF the subject
which brought the distinguished gentlemen
he was addressing together. Great progress
has been male since the times OF the Alger-
ines and the Buccaneers, to say nothing of
Capt. Kidd and other more or less mythical
robbers on the sea, until today the smallest
craft that can navigate the most distant
waters 10 safer from piratical assaults than q
train on an average Missouri railroad from
masked highway robbers.
The common property Of nations in the
seas is recognized and protected by all, and
in time Of peace at least not open To distur-
bance or misunderstan ing. Experience
has shown, however, the necessity, t. bor-
row the idea Of Mr.. Blaine, Of a common,
unspoken language Of the ocean whereby
confusion may be avoided and al danger
from Misunderstanding sverted. itmay safe
ly be predicted that the eminent and CON-
petent men who compose the conference
will be able to formulate rules whereby the
great highways Of the nations may be usv
elIed under common Law which will be
binding upon every ship at home and abroad
under vhat.over flag she may float.
