TREASURY DEPARTMENT,
Ocfober 12. 1881.


 EVEE House of Representatives, by res
 olution of the 4th of May, 1880, direct ed the Secretary of the Treasury to collect and communicate to the House, such intor' nation, and report his views on the same, as in his opinion, may be useful and important tC Congress, in enactng regulations tor the navi' gation of steam boats or steam vessels, witt a view to guard against the dangers arising from the bursting of their boilers.
 Such measures were accordingly taken, a: were thought best calculated to obtain the re- ouisite information But, although some high ly interesting and valuable communications have been received, the Department has moi succeeded in collecting facts sufficient to ena- ble it to fulfil the directions of the House
 In consideration, therefore, ot the difficult ty of obtaining the requisite information, by any means within the power of the Depart ment, and of the deep interest which the community, and more especially those en- gagged in steam navigation have in the subject, it is thought best to make this public applica- ton to all who may be able, and are disposed to promote the benevolent object of the Reso- 1ution.
 Accidents like those, which it is the desire of the House to prevent, have, unfortunately, been so numerous, that many persons will have it in their power to state the causes and circumstances of such casualties; and these, collected from various parts of the Union, cannot fail to be highly useful.
 With view to assist in giving that informa- tion precise and explicit character, the fol- lowing queries were prepared:-
 It is not intended, however, to conine it to the points presented in them, or to the form of communication which they may seem to indicate On the contrary, the Department will be happy to receive any information with in the scope of the resolution, and communi- cated in such manner as the writer may be pleased to employ. It is desirable that communications on this subject should be transmitted by the first of December, or as early as may be thereafter. l
