NAVIGATION LAWS PASSED
Extensive and Necessary Changes
in Anticipated Shipping Statutes.
Unusual Attention Paid by Congress
To an Important Question-Steps
to BE Taken in the Matter.

The late Congress paid more attention to
the navigation laws of the country than
has any Congress for fifteen years, and
while the humber of bills actually passed
is not large, the number which have passed
one house or the other or have been favor
ably reported in both houses and the amount
of yearly completed work has been SO great
as TO insure ut the December session the
most extensive and necessary changes in our
auiiquated shipping statutes.
One OF the most important steps was the
sadoption of the bill to reconvens the
American delegates to the Washington Ma
rine Conference OF 1889, to consider the
improved International rules to prevent
collisions at sea, the assemblage here OF
that body, and the passage of the bill rec
Commended by the American delegates in
the closing hours of the session through the
assistance of Vice President Stevenson,
Speaker Reed, Senators Vest and White and
Representative Payne.
Ii practically assures the enforcement
of the Washington rules by all nations
within about year. The simpkins bill,
abolishing unnecessary crew bonds, ia
ciiitatiDg entry and clearance at lake
ports, and repeating n umerous laws enacted
carly in the century, but not adapted to
modern conditions and enforced to the
discomfort OF OwDerS. masters and Seamen,
passedthe House, and has been reported with
certain amendments in the Senate.
Representative Payue's comprehensive
measure to better the condition OF American
scamen, to abolish Imprisonment for breach
es OF civil contract and to abolish allotments
and the crnlping system, passed the House
and has been reported In tile Senate, with
Imprisonment and allotment restored in a
guarded form. 4UG
The tonnage tax BILL. abolishing the
present la W by which the United States, in
effect, subsidies Germap vessels by about
0,000, at the expense bf our own, passed
the House and remains In the Senate Com
merce Committee uptil taken up next ses-
| sion by Senator Frye, its chairman, who was
compelled, by Oyerwork, to leave three
| weeks ago.
Bills extending the time for unloading
| sailing vessels, extending the powers Of
| the Secretary of the Treasury where fines
| and forfeitures are Incurred, for the polio
| ing Of the St. Mary's River and OF regatta
courses, for the quicker traBsmittal of
| expire IS packages through the custom houses
| and sundry minor changes in navigation
| laws ha We been approved by the President.
By consent the bill to- extend to ali ves-
| sells the act under which the st. Louis and
st. Paul were built and the Paris and New
York were admitted was put over until the
next session. The free ship bill was killed
| in the Senate and the Compulsory pilctage

The weather at this time of the
year was warm and soon as we stop-
Ped our carts at night, we would
spread down a quilt or blanket and
put the little ones on it, in the shade
OF our carts, that they might get a
breath OF fresh air, after being under

was what was doneiat the aforemen-

came the snakes out from the grass,
and crowl over and around the
children, and a scream would ring
through the air, first from one and
then from another, which made it
quite an exciting time indeed.
We breathed much more freely
when we were away from the grass
and snakes, and we were thankful
that nobody were harmed by them.

us back, 10, three or four more carts

some of the promises, to the human

that the Lord in all ages had full
