EIED LAST YEAR-EFFICIENcY OF THE
STEAMBOAT INSPECTION SERVICE.
washington, Oct o4-InspectorG General Dumont, of
c steamboat Inspection Service In HIS report the
secretary Of the Treasury OF the operations of the
service Tor the fiscal year ended June 30 1882 shows
"at o'2o steamers were Inspected, the net tonnage
% winch was 1915 1876 and that 81 800 officers were
Aeehsed- As compared with the previous year, this
SHOWS an increase of 300 In vessels so 301 in net ton
page, and 2,os1 in the number of officers licensed
me number Of foreign steam vessels inspected
@S', Of when than half were inspected at the
port oil NewYork. hfy-tw at Baltimore, apd twenty

sutng In loss Of life during the year was thirty-twO
follows BY fire, five; by collision. ten :
" breaking OF steam pipe, etc. three by explosion
'nree' by sinking etc, eleven. These accidents
resulted in the death of 3O1 persons or elghty-one
hon than last year. OF those lost nlnety-two were
passengers and twenty officers or hands on the
steamers. 1t is estimated that 55o,OOo,oo0 pas
sehgers were carried on steam vessels IN the year.
IN the fifteen years beginning with 1875 and ending
win the present year the number OF steam vessels
- the United States has increased from 1856 to
oI2o. gain Of 10 per cent The increase in licensed
oHlcers for the period is III per cent from
l4o71 in 1875 to 81 500 in 1885, The loss OF life
on steam vessels, with 73 per cent steamers in
service, Is only 3Ol in tire present year, as against
oO' In 1873, reduction OF % per cent
Mr. Dumont says It is simple justice to state that
the increased efficiency of this service Is wholly due
10 the esprit du corps OF its subordinate officers in
faithfully carrying into effect the laws enacted by
congress. He calls attention the inequalities OF
salaries paid to officers OF tho service and says the
law should be remeded ether by paying all salaries
alike or By pay ng salaries in proportion to the
number OF steamers Inspected making 1000 per
annum the minimum and ~ 500 the maximum
salary The Inspector.General also recommends the
consolidation Of the foreign and domestic inspect on
services, as there Is longer any necessity for a
distinct service. In closing his report, he says
Inc reasons for placing vesses using steam as a
motive power and navigating tie waters Of the
United States under the restrictions Of its laws apply
with tenfold force to vessels using niphtha gas for
The same purpose; and now most earnestly recon-
mend that all vessels using such other dang erous
motors for navigation purposes be brought within
al the provisions of section 4426 Revised Statutes
OF the United States.p

Surroundings more attractive and desirable

that the Army will be greatly benefited and improved
His plan Is to send to the encampments OF the National
