The New York Board of United
States Inspectors of Steam Vessels has
revoked the license of Joseph w. Cor
nell, a tugboat engineer formerly en-
plOyed by the Newtown Creek Towing
Company. 1t was declared that Cor
rell had violated the law under which
he obtained his license by quitting
work without sufficient reason when
the other marine engineers hereabout
went on strike.
For the week ending June 6, the Bu-
reau of Navigation assigned official
numbers and signal letters to eight
sailing vessels, gross tonnage, 100;
twenty-six steam and gas propelled
vessels, gross tonnage, 1880, and sew
en- unTigged vessels. gross tonnage,
2,053.
The steamboat Louise of the Georgia
and Carolina Navigation Company's
feet, took an excursion to Warsaw
yesterday. The day was pleasantly
spent by a large number.
The end of the first ten days of the
marine engineers trike at Norfolk
finds both the men and the steamboat
owners firm in their positions. The
thirty-seven boats laid up by the navi-
cation companies, rather than accede
to the demands of their engineers, are
still out of commission and their en-
tire crews are idle. Meantime traffic
is badly hampered.

nothing less than dismissal from the navy.
Three officers of the court recommended
clemency.
