Commissioner O’Brien Proposes Some
Improvements.
Washington, Sept. 10.—Commlsaioner
of Navigation C. O’Brien has submitted
to Secretary Carlisle n carefully pre
pared and exhaustive report, making
certain rooonwnedatlona to provide for
tlie better protection of life and prop
erty in the navigable waters of the
United States, in the North Atlantic
ocean. He observes that -the loss of Ufe
at sea has been considerably diminished
during tho pest decade, which, In view
of increased maximum speed of steam
ships from 12 to 22' 1-2 knots per hour
and the large increase in -the tonnage,
is gratifying, but adds that this saving
or life Is due to the Improved work-
manshlp in vessels and machinery and
the advances tn skill and the prudence
with which vessels -aro managed.
-••- -mportiait duty, he says, , diio.ua
to still further remove dangers attend
ing navigation by reporting, marking
and removing wrecks, derelicts and
other menaces to that important branch,
of our commerce. Commissioner O’Brien
state® that about 70 per cent, of the
trans-ocean International commerce of
the globe is carried on over a belt of
water averaging about 600 miles tn
width between Europe and North
America, and yet this great line of
commerce embraces only about 2 per
cent, of the entire ocean surface of
the globe. In this comparatively small
part of the ocean at least 70 per cent,
of the derelicts are found.
Mr u’Brian urges that the recom
mendation o fthe marine conference of
1889, £ r an International agreement
as to rule* and regulations nnd the
Jnstrumentahty of the destroying or
"removing derelicts may be adopted.
In this he Is indorsed by the Maritime
Exchange of the port of New York,
the American Steamship Association
and the leading trans-Atlantic steam
ship lines. The commissioner has draft
ed a proposed international agreement,
which In fifteen articles contains the
condition* and rules under which the
important work of freeing the North
Atlantic of dangerous derelicts may be
effected. Commander O’Brien also
points out the Importance of measures
for the removal or destruction of
wrecks, derelicts and other menaces
to navigation In the bays, harbors and
other Jurisdictional waters of the
United States alone.
Great stress is laid upon the Import
ance of measures to be taken by the
United States of It-,.own motion, and
by international co . *■ ration to destroy

Will they put the tax up? is the que*
lion asked by property owner* In Bibb
county now. and the county commie-
aioners will probably answer the ques
tion in the affirmative.
While the state tax has been feduced
from 48 1-2 cznta to 4610 there prevails
a strong {suspicion that -the county rate
| will go up from 61 1-2 cents to 75 or
over.
Tbs county commissioners are not in
clined to commit themselves on this sub
ject as yet, though it is possible that at
their next meeting they will .-lx tho
rate.
The necessarily increas:d expense* of
-the county, however, make an increased
rate almost Imperative. The*® ex

New York, Sept. 10.—The executive

Metz, Sept. 10.—In replying to an
address from tho burgomaster of Stras-
turgr, on the Broglie platz yesterday,
the emperor, after expressing regret
for the shortness of his sojourn in the
beautiful city, sold:
"When as a boy I sang, "Oh, fitra?-
burg du Wunderschoene 8 tad;/ I
prayed God that Strasburg, for which
I always felt an especial sympathy,
might again become German. Since
then that wish has been fulfilled. I
treasure Strasburg a* ono of the best
German cities. I am convinced that the
people of Strasburg aro happ In the re
union. This ronviction I have felt so
much more on this oo?a*1on, as I ar

gagements prevent a long stay with
you now, but I hope in the future to

without taking you by surprise. I feel

quired a hunting estate in your neigh
borhood. which will soon bring me hero
again. Once more I thank you for the
splendtl ieceptlon."
When about to leave the station the
emperor again addressed the burgo-
mwter. He said:
"My dear burgomaster, I heartily
thank you. It was all splendid."
At tho Imperial dinner given in Metz
to the officers of the Fifteenth army

Wnshlncton, Sept. 10.—The regular
biennial effort tn behalf of economy
and retrenchment will be made in the
house of representatives this week
when the report of the committee on
account* is called up for action. The
majority of the committee, through
Chairman Rusk, has reported in favor
of allowing clerks to those committees
which were thns favored In the fifty-
third congress, but the minority, con
sisting cf Messrs. Paynter and Mutch
ler, dissented from so much of the re
port a* recommends the appointment
of clerk* to the committee on expend-
Ituret in the interior, navy. powotUce,
treasury, war and agricultural depart

In support of their reoommendnt.ons,
the minority will prerent a statement
from the record* of theae committee*
in the last nine congresses showing
there is no necessity whatever for the
appointment of clerk* for any of them.
The committee* on expenditure* In
