mored, about to be extended to the man
agement of the office of John G. Thompson,
of Ohio, sergeant at arms of the House of
Representatives, who, it is alleged, has been

In view of the terrible steamboat disaster
in Canadian waters where more than 200
lives were lost by alleged reckless manage
ment on the part of persons in charge of the
Victoria, it is interesting to know that Secre-
tary Windop. has anticipated the necessity of
vigorous enforcement of the steamboat laws
by the officers to whom their administration
is entrusted, by calling to account several of
the supervising inspectors who have either
ignored the department regulation of July 26,
1880, or complied with it in such manner as
to eyade its intent and meaning The nolicv
of the department will be to compel rigid
enforcement of the steamboat laws, and in.
spectors who do not obey the laws will be
dealt with accordingly.
