then in another of the civilized world. As
examples of some of the most recent of these
may be named: The post and telegraph
conferences; the conference on maritime law in
Washington, representing twenty-one separate
States, with the purpose of working out a
universal system of signals for preventing
collisions; the African conference at Brussels,
with representatives of most of the European
powers for considering the best way of
civilizing Africa, getting rid of the slave trade, and
limiting the exportation of alcohol;[1] the
railway meeting at Lugano, for introducing a
uniform time table and scale of freight, on all
railways of the European continent; the Madrid
conference, for international protection of
industrial property, and above all the Labour
Congress held at Berlin by William II.’s
invitation.


[1] In the United States Congress, Mr. Blaine has
introduced a bill for calling an international conference in
Washington, in 1891, for making an alliance, whose object
is the suppression of slavery and the prohibition of alcohol
in uncivilized countries. The conference is further to
discuss the creation of a tribunal of Arbitration, for the
solution of international questions, and a general
disarmament.
