Steam Engineering. e
The committee then rose, on motion OF
Mr.. Tucker, Of Virginia. tn
/ The bin to repeal so much Of section 1885
OF the Revised Statutes as imposes Tux on
tobacco was taken up and passed.
The Speaker laid before the House a
message from the President returning
without his approval the bill TO regulate
the carriage Of passengers by sea. While
expressing his entire sympathy with the
objects Of the bill he points out three seri-
Gus defects in 1t. The first is the use OF
the words 'uppermost decks" ignoring
entirely all reference to the spar-deck.
with which almost all large modern vcs-
sells are provided. The second Is the re-
quirement of seven clear feet Of height be-
! tween decks. and the third Is the re.
qr1irement Of a list OF passengers be-
ing furnished before vessels clear. This
would be impracticable In the case OF
steamers-new passengers coming on BOARD
up to the last moment. The practical re-
| suit OF the law would he to subject all
ocean steamers to great loss, and to restrict
! immigration. 4 good bill OF the same
character correctly phrased will receive his
prompt assent rs a public necessity and
| blessing.
The message went over rs unfinished
business.
