THE United States government has caused
several Atlantic steamship captains to he ar
rested they are charged with a breach of the
law limiting the number Of passengers TO he
carried by any vessel. On account Of the I'M
mense emigration, the steera2tS Of Atlantic
steamers have been generally crowded the
present season; hence the enforcement Of the
law on the part of the government On the
other hand. the agents of the steamship lines
claim that they have nfIiuged no law. More
than this, they assert that the United States
government has no right to interfere with the
passenger or other arrangements of inward
bound foreign vessels as respects either freights
or passengers. In the interest Of humanity
this question if il can be III no other way. ought
to be settled by an international commission.
1t will be remembered that in the wears 1S49and
1852 thousands of passengers died of epidem
cholera mainly the result of ovorcrowdinE.
The mortality in those years was frightful. and
serves as warning for the present and future
Of this trade.
