I've found ourselves, therefore, with
Duroverai, Claviere and himself dis
putting, adding a word here, effacing
some there, wearing ourselves out
with this absurd task and at last pro-
ducing a piece of patchwork of sup
posed natural rights which never
has had any existence. During the
course Of this melancholy compost
ton reflected on many things for the
first time. I felt the futility and alb
surdity of the work; it was only a
puerile pretense.

antiquated and cumbersome laws re-
lating to marine inspection Of any
country in the world. In a general
way the law is not too stringent, but
1T is back number and it Is not elias
tic or adapted to modern needs.
Secretary Cortelyou. after long con-
sultation with Supervising Inspector
General Uhler, has prepared bill
amending the present law, and this bill
has been introduced in the senate by
Senator Frye. 1t is believed, as Mr..
Uhler says, that this modification of
the law will go long way toward i'm
proving present evils in steam vessel
inspection, and may be the result of
saving human life in specific instances.
In general, the amendments propos-
ed make the law less strict, but at the
same time 1T provides for more strin-
gent regulations by the secretary Of
commerce and the board of steamboat
inspection. The board meets only once
a year, in Washington, and this makes
it especially difficult for inventors of
new life saving devices, for their in
Ventions cannot be adopted except at
a regular meeting Of the board. De-
vices for protecting human life on
steam vessels are constantly being
brought forward, and the amended law

properly made or whether their other
duties were properly attended to. This
is in itself Objectionable. Furthermore.
there Is said to be a treasury order in
existence. and certainly the practice is
based upon the theory of such an or
der, by which these salaries are based
upon the number Of vessels passed
and certificated. The vice of this sys-
tenn is, Of course, obvious. 1t puts a
premium on lax inspection"
Another amendment exempts vessels
from inspection during the period that
they may be out of commission, and
this proposed change is made largely
In the interest of the shipowners.
One Of the most important of the
proposed changes is thus referred to
by Secretary Cortelyou: "a number
Of the sections of the present revised
statutes now make detailed require
ments as to certain mechanical appli-
ances in such manner that the advance
of mechanical inventions Is greatly
hampered. The proposed change goes
on the theory that the statute law
should prescribe olSfy the general re-
quirements, leaving the details as to
measurement, sizes, form and condl-
ton thereof to be adjusted by regula-
ton from time to time, as the state of
the art may require"
Another amendment Is made to re-

several voyages with it's fire pumps so
seriously out of order that they would
nave been absolutely useless in case Of
a fire on board. A similar case, which
attracted much attention at the time,
was that of the liner st. Louis, which
took two weeks for a trip from Liver
pool to New York because her boilers
were leaky. 1t is agreed that these
cases were due to lax Inspection which,
In turn, was the result of poor admin
1stration: and this cannot be remedied
by any statute. The spirit of reform
in this service has taken hold in the
department. of commerce, however, and
all measures to insure the safety Of
the travelling public and the crews Of
steam vessels are to be taken.
Inspectors Are Blamed.
Among other things, it is proposed by
the pending bill to abolish the provi-
sion by which inspectors Of steam
vessels are paid strictly according to
the number of vessels which they in
spect. In this connection Secretary
Cortelyou says in a letter to Senator
Frye:
THE result has been that inspectors
nave in some cases given their chief
attention TO the mere matter of getting
vessels to submit to inspection, regard
less Of whether such inspection was

instead of to the board.
To Remedy Faulty Inspection.
Many Of the improvements that have
Deen proposed for the system of steam
boat inspection during the last few
years have not been included in the
present bill for the reason that thew
are the subject Of widespread contro-
versy among marine men, and the gov
eminent is unwilling to endanger the
measure by introducing these at this
time. The department of commerce is
determined, If possible, to prevent a
repetition Of certain accidents that have
been ascribed during the last three or
four years to faulty inspection. Some
or the most glazing cases of Iaxness
or worse In the official inspection Of
ocean going steamships have never
come to the knowledge Of the public:
but marine men all over the country
and the federal officers lin Washington
have had them brought to their at
tentfon from time to time. One OF
these instances, fairly terrifying in its
possibilities of peril to passengers. was
discovered In New York less than two
years ago. 1t appeared that one of the
largest steamships plying between New
xork and European ports had made

quire that the collector of customs
shall demand that all vessels subject
to the law shall have the certificate of
inspection as condition of registry
enrolment or license. This is the uni
form practice now, but as the law
stands now the collector need not re-
quire the inspection certificate. AS
matter of fact he always does so. but
an instance might arise where conflict
would occur between the steamboat in
spection service and the collector, in
which case the collector would not be
obliged under the present law to en-
force the requirements of inspection.
