FOR AN INTERNATIONAL BUOY SYSTEM.
ENGLAND AND THIS COUNTRY TRY TO ESTABLISH


Washington, March 10 (SpeciaD.-The Secretary Of
the Treasury has received request from the English
Government that tie United States join the authorities
Oh "leat Britain in establishing uniform system OF
buoyage and to-day instructions were sent to Captain
w. : Schlcy. who has charge OF the Lighthouse Dis
rict of New-Ioik to have board convene to discuss
the matter and form sort of scheme likely TO
meet the approval Of the British authorities The
board VIII consist In addition 10 Captain Schey OF
Commanders Harrington and Wilde, the latter on duty
In Boston, and Lieutenant Commander West
The establishment of a uniform system Of buoSage
would be appreciated by all mariners and such sys-
TEN would result In the saving Of money and the
ducton OF the liability Of shipwreck. 1t Is believed
that II the United states its vast line OF coast,
and England, with Its buoy marked waters at home
and among the colonies were to agree upon system
Of butyage. other maritime nations of the world would
fall into line. The expense Of change would be
somewhat large, but 1t would be justified By the ad
vsntagcs Of perfect method OF marking approaches
TO pcrils. The subject freely discussed by the
International Maritime Conference during lis session in
Washington on the request Of the Lighthouse Board.
and the board which has been ordered convene at
New York will make OF the conclusions Of the
ference At present Two principal cha actriscs used
for distinguishing buOys and bcacos, color aud shape.
The Maritime Conference decided that uniformity OF
color should be adopted a general rule, and that The
use Of shape would ROMAN optional. 1t recon
mended that red and black should be adopted gen
orally for marking respectively the starboard and port
sides of single channel. As TO shapes In a system of
buOys, the forms would probably be confined to two
STYLES. the conical and buoy. to mark the star
board and port sides Of the channels, a spar bnoy
taking the place of the In certain Another
feature to be considered by the schlcy Board will be
that Of top marks which into play where color Is
depended npOn alone. Where buoys bear letters or
numerals the Maritime Conference decided that the
objects marked should be marked consecutvely, be
ginning at the seward end of the district.
The subject is an important one to mariners and
will mean a great deal to those who have to do with
the navigating Of ships In foreign waters. 1t will
probably take some weeks for the New York Board To
perfect system which be submitted to the British
horities for their consideration the American and
English svstems will have TO be carefully examined and
com pared.
