TO prevent a repetition of the accident.
They have no right TO take a single
step looking to the inspection of any
steamer or recommend any measures
for it's safety, as the federal govern
ment has complete jurisdiction in the
matter.
Collector OF the Port Stranahan today
sent a communication to the supervis-
ing Inspector of steam vessels in this
port asking for a conference tomorrow
Tor the purpose or making more ef-
fective the inspection of excursion
steamers in regard to the lumber of
passengers carried.
The collector has nothing TO do with
the situation, but must enforce penal
ties on the inspectors.
Among the kilograms received by
Mayor Mcclellan was one from Sir
Thomas Upton expressing sympathy
and Offering 81, 900 toward a relief fund
ii. needed.
Mayor Mcclellan visited the scene OF
the wreck with Health Commissioner
Darlington, to whom he gave directions to
have the bodies which are burned beyond
any hope of Identification buried at once
in the Lutheran cemetery at the city's
expense.
He also authorized the heads OF other
departments TO spend any necessary sum
warranted.

Several bushels OF seedless apples
from Colorado are OF exhibition at the
worlds fair. This improved seedless
apple, like the seedless orange, is the
result OF the scientific work OF the horti-
cuiturists. The apple tree Is blossom
less and the fruit is free from worms
and hard enough TO endure the severest
frost. The blossomless feature OF the
new tree is one OF its most striking PEE
culiarities. and will make It a favorite
with fruit growers, especially In cold
climates. Already seedless apple nur-
series have been started In several
states. and seedless apple buds are In
great demand. John r. Spencer, the
producer OF the seedless APPLE, is ex-
erimenting with several varieties.
