Senate Receives Draft Bill on Navigation and Commerce Reforms
A Treasury draft bill forwarded to the Senate mirrors marine conference recommendations. It creates a board led by the supervising inspector-general and steam vessel inspectors to set regulations for navigation and commerce, light power and positions, and oil supply for geo-going vessels. It mandates five water-tight cross bulkheads on passenger vessels over fifteen tons and imposes penalties for violations. The secretary urged passage.

Quiet New York market eyes government action and railroads
The New York market closed quiet with narrow fluctuations as investors awaited government silver policy and railroad presidents meetings.
