WASHINGTON, Dec l7.-Gen. Dumont,

Nearly all other bureau officers have
this year asked for increased clerilal
force and increased appropriations, bpt
in his annual report, just issued by the
government printer, Gen. Dumont
makes the following refreshing recon-
mendati0ns; "lnasmuch as the work
of tho foreign inspectors has been but
little over one .half that estimated when
the law was projected, owing to the
fact that 1t applies only to those steam-
ers of other countries, which carry pas
sengors from ports In the United
states and not TO those which bring pas
scngcrs to ports in the United States
but take none away, the expense OF the
service could be materially lessened, at
least 30 per cent, without detriment to
its efficiency, If section two of the pas
songor inspection act wore amended by
adding to 1t n clause authorizing the
secretary of tho treasury TO dispense
with the services of az many OF the OIL
GERS provided Tor in that section rs are
now in excess OF the reasonable de-
mauds of the service. Were such clause
now in the law the supervising inspec-
tor-grneral would makea recommended

salaries $4,000 per annum. In the pre-
vlOus annual report from this office,

needed, and that the services OF one OF
the two clerks then employed might be
dispensed with. No action upon that
Recommendation having been taken,
aud the situation remaining tho same
as at that time, the recommendation is

clerk would be ample to perform all tue
