The action of Supervising Inspector
General Uhler, of the Steamboat Inspec-
ton Service, in reply to an inquiry
from Secretary CourtelyOu in regard to
the overcrowding of excursion steamers
was published in yesterdays Gazette.
For many years much apprehension has

most of them to move about Recently
overcrowded boats from Washington
have made landings here and added to
their passenger lists, and in a careening
position have staggered away with their
loads of humanity. Fortunately no
serious mishaps have occurred, but they
are likely to result at any time.
