The WawaSet Disaster.

The report Of the investigation conducted by
the local inspectors into the causes of the burn
ing of the steamer Wawaset was forwarded to
Supervising Inspector Renshaw yesterday Tor
his inspection. The entire investigation was
conducted under the direct supervision OF the
chief Office, and the decisions will therefore
hereafter he considered as precedents for the
regulation of certain branches Of the service:
In the case Of the Wawaset the captain and
mate we're unlicensed, and the eng neer and
pilot licensed. In the first Instance these otl-
GERS will be prosecuted for serving and the own
ers for employing them without license.
The prosecution will begin Immediately after
the report has gone through all the necessary
official formality. and will be conducted by the
district attorney under the direction Of the So
licitor of the Treasury Department. 1t is the
general impression that the license of the engi-
ncer and possibly of the pilot will be revoked.
This is the extent Of the law for licensed Off
GERS, unless they should be prosecuted Grimm
ally, under the statutes, for certain violations
of the law The supervising inspector general
expresses the opinion that there should be
heavier penalties provided, but in other respects
the law will answer every purpose. Special 10.
structions respecting organization and RESPONSE
bility based upon the facts established by the
Wawaset affair, will be sent to all supervising
and local inspectors, which, it is thought. will
increase the efficiency Of the service.

which these gentlemen came forward will no
doubt 20 far towards inducing favorable action
on The part of the City Council upon a claim
tor reimbursement should proposition OF that

consideration the building Of sheds in the

their Immediate construction. This we thlnk
is Very important for not only is the city losing

to erect these sheds at their own expense and
turn them over to the city IN three years, free

The IRON Question in England.

LONDON, Aug. 29-The Times this morning
has an editorial on the iron question, the bur
then Of which is that England possesses ore of
the iucst quality, but that the trade in iron is
gradually closed to her. Her disasters in
this direction have not ended, the Uulted
States competing successfully Tor the control Of
iron tariff with Canada, South America aud the
West Indies.
They have contested under immense natural
disadvantages but have beaten England in spite
Of these She cannot afford to idle and sleep
away her time and waste her money while COM
pe,ing with thrifty, a :tlve and intelligent ma
tons.
The Times thinks much Of the blame Of this
state Of things, it describes, should fall upon
strikers and Trades Unions.

The Crops.

CHICAGO, Aug. 29-The Tribune has crop
reports from forty counties Of Illinois, embrac-
iug the greater part of the corn growing por-
ton of the State, and from twenty counties 10
different parts Of Iowa. With the exception
of half the counties in Illinois, all put the
corn crop at only from half to two thirds
average yield, though iD some of the local.
ties where the yield will be short there
is greater acreage planted than usual. Reports
from Iowa arc very similar to those fromllllnois.
The drought has injured the corn very materl-
ally, and the season is so far advanced that rain
now would hardly benefit it.
