TO PREVENT
COLLISION
OF VESSELS

There has been something doing for the
past two days in the marine service de-
partment at the custom house this city,
and the Golfers of Uncle Sam have been
enriched by fully 5000. This means fines
OF 500 each have been paid by about %
owners and n~avigators OF craft In the
river and bay. realizing the fact that they
have been violating section 42S3 or the Re-
vised Statutes of the United states ana
it's amendments and rules made, pursuant
10 section 4il2 OF the Revised Statutes,
by the board OF supervising inspectors or
steam vessels.
To this section, the smallest rowboat
and the largest screw or steam paddle
such as the new and palatial steamship
P~rovidence-are alike amenable and in an
interview with a News representative.
this afternoon, Deputy Collector Hubbard
explained conditions as governed by pilot
rules and the United States navigation
laws as follows:
Our principal trouble recently has been
with such small craft as open naphtha
launches. Now open nathpth~~ Taunches
which have 10 houses may carry a COM
bination lantern, but all with cabins
should carry red and green side lights
with a white light forward at the head
and not on n line with the other two. or
sidelights: there should also be a white
light aft seven feet higher than the for
ward light.
sailboats need only red and green
lights.
Rowboats should nave az hand a lantern
with white light 10 be exhibited in time
to prevent collisions.
Sailboats and open naphtha launches
display from the stern a white light on
being overtaken by another vessel TO
show the location OF the first boat.
II the owners OF small crafts bear in
mind the foregoing instructions, though
in brief, there need be no trouble con-
cluded Deputy Collector Hubbard. who is
ably seconded by Inspector Parker in
rounding up the derelicts.
OF the score who nave paid the 500 fine
only one was from without the state the
others belonging In Providence, Paw
tucket, Pawtuxet. Riverside, East Proci-
dence and other places in the common
wealth.
The customs officers have no alternative
but 20 impose the 500 fine-which Is gener-
ally paid under protest. They can then
file. IL they desire, a petition for remis-.
sion Of said tax and this petition is at
once forwarded by the local custom Of
ficers 10 Washington. for Ina adJudica-
ton.
There are a few more yet to make an
official call at the office on the second
floor OF the Federal building, Weybosset
and Custom House streets, and they
may be given leeway until towards the
close Of the week.
If they still continue as derelects, then
the Federal authorities will act promptly
and libel their boat. the closing chapters
coming through chapters of conf1scation
and marshal's sale coming through the
United States court.

learned from a revolutionary source,
which is absolutely reliable, that at a
conclave Of nihilists held during the
small hours Sunday morning. there was
fierce alteration as to the axpediency
Of immediate action. A stout minority
contended that the brotherhood equally
with the strikers have been cowed by
the government energetic action and
especially by the recent relentless mas
sacre. It was asserted that, such being
the case, failure to act at the present
time would mean the humiliation of
nihilism. Whereupon immediate ac-
ton was resolved and the car, the
condemned to death.
Early this morning flaming mani
festo was drafted, copies of which were
conveyed to the district leaders for dis.
tribution among the sworn chiefs of
the nihilist movement. These are. to
meet and assign to each trusted des-
perado among their subordlnates the
place at which the respective murders
are to be committed, a victim for as
sassination and a bomb or a knife with
which to commit the deed.
The same informant declared that he
knew that Father Gopon was under ar
rest and confined in monastery, where
he has been turned over to the church
synod to deal with him as they shall
see fit.
The car is reported to be a complete

ton, it is said, from his advisers, and
remains most of the time In state of
gloomy silence, repelling all who come
near him.
