FATALITIES AT sEA.
Large Increase Shown by the Report of
 the Inspector General.

the Inspector General.
 The records of the United States steamboat inspection service, which during the last nineteen years has been under the direction of Gen. Dumont as inspector general, show that during the last fiscal year the nur2ber of lives lost on steam vessels was approximate ly 3C8. This, says the Washington Post, was an increase over the average of the preceding eighteen years of 12s. This great increase was caused by the large loss of life by the laundering of the steamship Colima recently oE the Pacific coast. This makes the average for the last nineteen years 247. Iae highest previous annual loss was 5e5, Tn 1874. The lowest was 155. n 1886. Notwithstanding the great increase in the number of vessels sinee f673--oVer 100 per eent.-tllere have been but 75g disasters to steaIn vessels, with loss of but 5.0J7 lives. the number of pas sengers carried per annum having iu- creased. from 122, ,569. .139, carried ia 1870, to not less than G50, ,023, eco, car ried in 1892.
 The average loss of life under tho law of 1852 was one person to every 250, ,1S1 passengers carried, while under the act Of 1871, which greatly improved the efficiency of the service, there YVES only one life lost in each ,, ,705, ,333 pas- sengers carried, or a reduction in tho number of lives lost of nearly Il to Il proportion to the number Of passengers carried. The service consists Of about 175 officers and clerks, one supervising inspector general, ten supervising tn-. spectors, divided among the vallans customs collection districts of the United States. One of the most striIz- ing instances of the benefits derived from the powers conferred upon ia- spectu's under the low is the almost entire absence of intenlper2ace at tho present time upon tlae part Of licensed officers
 An alleged defect in the laws, and one which has caused much criticism, is in the local inspectors power to in vestigate the cause of boiler explogions and casualties to steam vessels, thus giving the inspectors the right to pass judgment upon their own acts. The present head of the inspection service, Gen. Dumont, shares in the opinion of the opponents of such power. and has, unsuecessfully however, eadeayored to have the laws amended to correct the evil. As long ago as 1889 he called att tention in his annual report to the mat ter, and suggested remedy in the form of a. bill, which, however, never became e law. The bill provided for a court of inquiry to be appointed by the secretary of the treasury to investigate acts of local inspectors in granting licenses, etc, such court to consist of three supervising inspectors Of other districts than the one in which the in spector belongs. It is very likely that this matter will again be brought be- fore congress at the next session.
