 | WASHINGTON, March 21.-The rules anG regulations prescribed by the Secretary o the Treasury for carrying into effect the ac
 of August 1882, providing for the inspection of foreign passenger steam vessels have beer printed and were given to the press to-day This law subjects foreign steam passenge, i vessels to the inspection now in force against steam passenger vessels owned in the United States and there is an appointment of sixteen special inspectors for this particu lar service at the port of New York, Boston, Philadelphia, Baltimore, New Orleans and | San Francisco. The regulations adopted by Secretary Folger are similar to those now gov erning the inspection of United States vessels carrying passengers to and from foreign ports | and aim to carry out the law in such man. ner as not to be needlessly objectionable to foreign vessel owners. They require the usual precautions concerning the carriage l and use of dangerous and infammabIe ar ticles, place special restrictions upon the
 
 equipment of life boats etc. Copies of the new regulations have already been mailed to the collectors of customs and to the special inspectors at the points mentioned above Final instructions will be mailed to these off, cers in a day or two and the new law it is expected will be put in operation early next week.

 In view of the large increase in mail matter postmasters are urged by the postofice au- thorities to notify the public that the de- livery of mail will be greatly expedited if it is addressed to the street and number or to 8 postofice box number.

 Acting Postmaster General Hatton to-day, at the request of the Secretary of War issued an order directing the postmasters at about seventy five points quite generally throughout the country to promptly display in their respective offices such bulletins of storm warnings as may from time to time be telegraphed from the chief signal office. This request of the Secretary of War, which has been so prompt ly responded to by the Postmaster General, was necessitated by the insuficiency of tue appropriations for the current year and for the use of the signal service. General Hazen owing to the diminished appropriations for his office will be unable to distribute so gen erally as heretofore weather bulletins and other information for the benefit of farmers and mariners, and it is therefore desirable that the postmasters who are called upon to assist the signal service in this matter should post these storm warnings as conspicuousIy as possible.
