1t is undsrstood that Senators Beck and

last flscaS year, says that OF the ,S7S applica-
tions for pilot licenses AZ were rejected on ac-
count OF color blindness. During the year
6,425 vessels were inspected, an increase Of
sos over the previous year. Thirty-six acci-
dents were reported during the year-12 col
lisions, 8 fires, 3 explosions, bursting OF
steam pipes and wrecks Two hundred and
two lives were lost on steam vessels last year.
against 20 the preceding year. The aver
age annual loss Of life on steamboats, for the

Gen. Dumont says, gratifying progress in
the efficiency OF the officers of the inspection
service in carrying into effect the laws to
prevent loss OF life on steam vessels The
data in this respect furnished by his report
is as follows: From 1859 to 1868, 72l lives
lost annually; from 1869 to 1873 355 lives lost
