COLLISIONS OFF AND ON SHORE

| COLLISIONS OFF AND ON SHORE
1t is no wonder that the skipper of ;
German liner should have been startled
and Mortified to find a steamer of tn
size and pretensions of the City of Rom
| directly in his track, he being boun(
west and. she east. The German skip
per was painfully observing the rule
laid down at a conference of steamship
lines, of which the object was to reduce
ito minimum the dangers of collision
The owners of the City of Rome deny
that they were parties to the agreement
In question, and in effect claim for their
steamer the privileges and immunities OF
tramp" To this there Is to be said
| in the first place. that the rules in ques-
| ton were adopted for the safety of pas
| sengers and that the owners Of passen-
| ger steamers would consult the safety
of their passengers by observing them
whether they We're parties to the agree
ment or not. In the second place, it is
to be said that, in case of accident, a
jury would be quite justified in taking
into consideration, in a civil if not also
in criminal suit, that the ship had not
taken the precautions against accident
which other ships took and which she
might have taken.
A more complicated case is that of the
Of TWO etao ~,
this port and the near and friendly port
OF New Haven, Conn. There is no equal
stretch of the middle Atlantic which is
so crowded with traffic as this end Of
Long Island Sound, none which offers
so many dangers Of collision through
frequency Of traffic. And so, when the
experts, so far as heard from, seem to
agree that, in a dense fog on the Sound
there is no sure way of preventing a col
lision that is an announcement calcula-
ted to fill the wayfaring man with
alarm Certainly there seems no ground
for charging with negligence any respon-
sible person either on the Northam or on
the Peck. On each boat the sharpest
kind of lookout seems to have been kept
and the proper signals sounded. No
body could tell on either boat from what
quarter the noise was coming, which
seemed to be coming from everywhere
or nowhere. 1t is well known that light
is so refracted by fog that there is no
effective piercing Of fog by the power
full illuminators yet introduced 1t
seems that fog may have the same eff
feet of refraction and dispersion upon
sound. At any rate, the collision in the
Sound ought not to be suffered to be for
gotten until 1t has yielded every lesson
that it may contain for the guidance of
future navigators and the safety of flu
ture passengers.--N York Times.

BILE company against the schooner W. Fl.
Bailey of New London was filed with
Judge Townsend in the United States
district court yesterday by Attorney
James d. Dewell, jr,, proctor for the
claimant The complaint alleges that
the anchor Of the Bailey caught in one
of the libellant's cables in New York
harbor and broke it. The answer de-
MES that the location and use of the
cable of the libellapt at the point nam
ed In the complaint was well known to
the master and crew of the Bailey. The
answer alleges that OF the morning of
December 49, 1898, the schooner, William
H. Bailey, properly manned, appareled
and furnished, was proceeding on voy-
age from Newport News, Va, to New
Haven, and the wind and tide being un-
favorable for her progress she was an
chored at a point called Red Hook,
about one-fourth of a mile south
southeast Of the buoy known as No. IA
in New York harbor, and well within
the anchorage grounds of the harbor as
laid down by the proper authorities
with twelve fathoms of anchor cable
out, and that when she was ready to
proceed on her voyage she tried to haul
in her anchor and found that 1t was en-
tangled in cable or wire rope and that
in order to free the vessel various de-
vices were used, but after several hours
work the wire rope was cut and the
anchor freed 1t is further alleged that
the cable cut was not the lbellants' ca
BILE, and that if 1t was the cable was not
in a proper place and was an unlawful
obstruction to navigation. The claimant
then prays that the libel be dismissed
with costs

With the rise of the camera and the increasing desire Of the people to see what they are reading about. A new and great industry mas sprung up in the United States. The dimensions ol that part of the business which deyotes itself to securing D ,tures of public men and events are marvellous. Ten years ago worse than poor wood cuts constituted the only means of placing before the reader the idea of the scene transpiring. To give a faiut idea of the change it may be remarked that at the White House the other day, when the final ceremony of clos Ing the war with Spain took place. no less than three leading photeg- \ raphers were present. More. to the sscandal of Minister Cambon and his fellow officials, the whole matter Wan delayed some minutes because the men at the machines were unable to prop erly adjust their screens. It must not pe understood that the president ae- tnaiIy sat with pen in his hand or that Cambon was held in the act of signing it to let the photographers eaten up. But, nevertheless, the whole agair was delayed some time in srder that the American people might see just what was happening.
 IL IS a common thing nowadays for Che pig magazines and newspapers to send expert photographers to Wash 1ngton for the express purpose of talk ing series of snap shots of promi- nent United States senators and repre- 5entatiYes and other celebrities of the national capital. At the same time standard views of the public build lngs, officers of the president and the various cabinet officers are taken in stock for use as future occasions may require. In fact, the library of modern newspaper Is supposed to con- tain photograph of practically every man and woman of prominence in this country. Europe, Asia and Africa. as well as special pictures Of foreign capitals and others representing spe- cial views of private life at home and abroad.
 To woman belonged the honor of being the pioneer of this work Miss Frances Benjamin Johnson. of Wash dngton. really began the business of developing photographs to such a state of perfection and completeness as to have them used in place of pen and ink sketches. Her pictures were first used in magazines as iIlustra- tions for descriptive stories about ten or twelve years ago, and since then she has steadily improved in her art dntii she is now recognized as prob ably the best amateur photographer of portraits and interior house views in Washington. Her skill is perfected to such a high degree that when but one photographer is to be present during an important government function ste is usually selected.
