Herr Bebel. social democrat. declared
that IL was a standing reproaeh to thq
company's management that the crews
of rs vessels had never been exercised
In boat drills. He himself had conversed
with sailors who had been eighteen
years in tho service, aud they were unan-
imous in their testimony that the crews
had never been put through boat drills

ment was made on board OF the North
German Lloyd steamer sachsen with n
view of ascertaining the length Of time
necessary to close all Of the doors and
other apertures in the so-called water
tight compartments. The experiment.
proved that before the crew had COM
pleted their task fully ninety minutes
had elapsed
The statements or Herr Bebel created a
profound sensation in the chamber.

Of trade said as most other countries
had agreed to these rules Il was not de-
sirable to reopen the subject. Never
theless he was willing that a special COM
mtttee be appointed TO inquire into the
objections to the conferences decisions.
Mr.. Bowles eventually withdrew his mo-
