STRANDING OF THE PARIS.
An investigation to BE Made by the
Treasury Department.

The Treasury Department has notified the
international Navigation Company that i;
intends to hold inquiry soon as prac-
ticable into the stranding Of the Atlantic
liner Paris, and the company has replied
offering the government every assistance in
it's power.
Gen. Dumont, the government supervising
inspector general of steam vessels, said to-
day that it was not his purpose to send
his inspectors TO the scene of the accident.
as nothing could be gained by such a
course, but, very soon after the arrival in
this country of the responsible officers Of
the vessel an investigation would be held
to fix the responsibility for the disaster.
This, he said, was the usual course, and
it did not presuppose the negligence of any
one. The maximum penalty which can be
imposed by the inspector general for re-
sponsibility for accident is the revocation
of the license of the guilty person.
