They Are Giving the President Some Trouble and Taking Up Valuable Time. Considering his determination to have his time to himself for work on his message, the President was occupied toa considerable ex- tent todsy with matters of appointments During the morning he received calls from the Vice President, the Attorney General, Gen. Moore, ex-Representative Taylor of Tennessee, the Secretary of War, Commissioner Douglass, U. 8. Grant, jr., and Senators Quay and Cam- eron. The last two were particularly lacking in in- terestas to the progress and welfare of the message. They were bent upon bringing out somejffocal Philadelphia s ppoinments as scones possible. THE PHILADELPHIA APPOINTMENTS have been occupying the minds of Senators Quay and Cameron and Pennsylvanians gener- ally for a long time, and have greatly annoyed the President. The trouble between Quay and Wanamaker over the post office was the first . This was settled by the re- tirement of ou mrn, Leeds, and the understanding Mr. Wanamaker's friend Field was to get the place. This wasa long while ago and it was then thought that everything was settled, yet the appointment was net made, nor were those of surveyor, naval officer, or superintendent of the mint. After a long while Cooper was made collector of the port. then TROUBLE HAS BEEN GROWING over the other offices, Quay is credited with working very hard for Leeds for naval officer, while Russell Harrison wants Walters, the original Harrison man of Fennsylvania, ap- ited to the ofice "This is sald to keep’ all Ere rest back.

Two tables had been put in posi- tion along the center of the room, the smaller one ecross the axis of the other, thus forminga T. Fads of paper, pens, pencils and other machinery for the purpose of official business lay at intervals along the cloth, ‘These tables were provided with seats for twenty-four Pevsons, THE RULE FOR SEATING THE CONFERENCE ie this: Delegations having more than three members are entitled to two seats at the table, while nations represented by three delegates or'less have one seat. The other members of the conference are seated around the walle, ‘There is a slightly raised platform at the north end of the room, on which the president's and secretary's tables stand.

This international courtesy was also car- ried through, and Mr, Charles Ribiere of ayant ‘ashing- | and Mr, Walter Biaess of Germany were electe secretaries, The roll was called, ah absence of several delegates, On motion of Mr. Goodrich, Parker’s Manual was adopted as the parliamentary guide of the conference, HOURS FOR BUSINESA, Aresolution was introduced by the same delegate and adopted, to the effect that the conference hold sessiens from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs- day, with a recess of one hour at 1 0’ jock, and from 10 a.m. tolp.m. on Friday. ere will be no session on er. change of hour on ‘bison igtended to allow di tes who might wish to leave the ctiy for Bunday owing the Peoples, | 8 opportunity to do so comfortably. It was ordered that 260 copies of the present “rules of the road” be printed in English and 200 in Prench, with » memerandum showing the difference between the American and En- glish codes, ‘MR. BALL'S PLEASANT LITTLE SPEECH. Mr. Hall then arose in his place at the end of the table and with a smile upon his typical English, smoothly-shaven face made a little speech. His- diction was “quite perfectly reper,” @ model of parlia: Fre Path 16 wan tmpottent to. tate boty: he instruetions of her majesty’s government to her delegates open the abject of the work of the conterence, rol heaton he said, is most actively jnterested in the work of the conference and recegnized the BENEFICIAL @BJECT OF TUE UNITED STATES incalling this body together in order to pro- ty | Mote the welfare of all sea-going nations of the world.

ORDER OF BUSINESS, On motion of Mr. Goodrich these resolutions were adopted: That upon the decision of ques- tions each nation represented shall have one vote; that the conference proceed with the dis- cussion of general division 1 of the pr and continue until the consideration is com- pleted, and that the international rules be con- sidered article by article. admiral Franklin announced that the French interpreter and stenographer attached to the conference was unavoidably absent, and asked whether the conference desired to proceed to- day without him, the discussion to be altogether in English. There was no objection to this, and Mr, Goodrich moved that the general dis cussions of the conference be conducted in English or French, and that the daily protocols be printed in both languages. THE FIRST ARTICLE OF THE RULES was read, as follows: “In the following rules every steamship which is under sail and not under steam is to be considered a sailing ship and every steam- ship which is under steam, whether under sail or not, is to be considered a ship under steam,” Delegate Goodrich opened the discussion by offering a substitute in which the word ‘‘ves- sel” was used in place of the word “ship,” ‘The reason for this, said Mr. Goodrich, was based on the very indefinite idea that prevails asto the exact meaning of the word “ship.” He argued that the other term was more com- [gee stsd aud more definite as well. For e first time in the history of the world there was to be a conference of all the maritime powers to formulate a code of uni- versal regulations, and it was most important and desirable that the product of its labors should be as near perfection as ponsible. The rules of the sea, he said, are to be construed literally, so that, begging the pardon of the conference for the unintentional pun, an illit- erate sailor Gini understand them, are two foi he reminded thi = ference, in which these " re. considered; This was Minister Romero ‘Mosars, Hall and ae i i iF By UG I eS action on article J the 2 club of this city wants it un- ——— jal derstood that the delegates to the conference conference then, at 1 o'clock, took e re cess of one hour.

THE AFTERNOON SESSION. The meeting hall was net as well filled in the afternoon whea Admiral Franklin rapped on the table with his gavel as it was at the morn- session. . Goodrich, on s question of privilege, Presented a resolution inking the members of the Metropolitan club for their courtesy. This was adopted. It was voted that the president of the confer- ence should have the power at any time to ap- Point a delegate to preside during his absence.
