LONDON, November 12.-Lord llagting-
ton, secretary of state for India, replying to
deputation which urged the repeal ofthc
remaining duties on cotioH goods imported
iuto India said he was unable to givea
definite answer but ne believed the Indian
government in its next budget would abol-
ish the duty on grey goods. The, govern
mcnt, he said, fully agreed with the depu-
lation as to the evil of protection, but you
must look upon the matter, as Il revenue
question. He pledged that the duties
would be abolished as soon as the state OF
finance permitted, but did not mean
that the first surplus must
be applied to that object. He
pointed out that it would not be safe to rely
more than heretofore on the revenue from
opium, and said that he could not hold out
any hope that lie would be able to dispose
with the revenue within any time that he
could forsee, but that the growing anti
opium agitation increased its precarous-
ness,

Report OF the Inspector General of steam

WASHINGTON, ID. G., November 1.-THE
supervising inspector-general of steam yes-

the fiscal year to the secretary OF the treas

Of accidents during the year to steam veg
sells resulting IN the loss of life, was-eX-
plosion, 49, fire, 8; collisions, q snags,
wrecks and sinking, s; total number lives
lost by those accidents, ajS, In his report
he makes some startling statements con
corning derellction of duty ON the part OF
supervising inspectors;
During the year the supervising inspector
general made an extensive tour through
several inspection districts. During the
tour there were frequent revelations OF lack
of supervision by supervising officers.
Seven steamers were found soon after the
annual INSPECTION to be deficient in life
saving appliances, life-boats without oars,
plugs or lite lines, For liie-boats of
sixty passengers capacity, there were
substituted in some cases small, tlat-bOt-
toned skifIs, unsafe for half dozen peo-
pie. The complement of lite-preserNers was
deficient and those on hand were without
straps; the fire hose was worn and useless
in case of fire; the boilers were unprotected
by metal, as required by law, and many
other evidences of disregard of the law. This
condition of affairs was sometimes the fault
of licensed officers of the steamer who
might be careless about keeping up their
equipment or might deceive the inspect
or's by borrowing equipments to
pass inspection, returning them as
soon us the inspection was over;
but occasionally certificates were granted =.
by INSPECTORS when the equipments were =
