MARINE REVIEW. ri Ruling on the Marking of Names. A circular under the date of April 16 from William W. Bates, commissioner of navigation, says: ‘Your attention is invited to the following ruling of the bureau upon the application of the act of Feb. 21, 1891, to the marking of the names of yachts and steam vessels. The marking of the name and port of yachts is specifical- ly provided for by the act of March 3, 1883, amendatory of Sec. 4214, revissd statutes, and the marking of the name of steam vessels is likewise specifically provided for by Sec. 4495, revised statutes. The statutes were not repealed except by implication. . The supreme court has held that a specific provision for a parti- cular class is not repealed by a general provision in a later act. Hence, it appears that the statutes relating to the marking of ‘ yachts and steam vessels must be construed together with the marking provided for by act of Feb. 21, 1891. This seems pro- per, also, for the reason that these several laws relate to the same subject, were enacted for the same purpose, are consistent and reconcilable, and seem to be better adapted to the particular class of vessel than the later law of February last, and it is, therefore, the ruling of the bureau that yachts must be marked in accord- ance with the act of March 3, 1883, and steamboats must be marked as provided for in Sec. 4495, revised statutes. Notice to Mariners. Information is again given by Light-house Inspector Heyer- man that the Grosse Pointe light-ship has been placed in posi- tion. Vessels in passing should give her a berth of about 400 feet, where the best water will be found. ‘The new Grosse Pointe beacon lights, now maintained by the government, are also in operation. Plans are being arranged to place a fog horn on the schooner anchored at the end of the exterior breakwater at Chicago as a light-ship. S. B.
