SAFEGUARDS FOR HUMAN LIFE.
Secretary Metcaif Framing Rules for
INSPECTION of Vessels.


WASHINGTON, Jan. 24.-Secretary
Metcalf of the department of COM
merce and labor is hearing arguments
as to the advisability of adopting the
drastic regulations concerning steam
vessels which were recommended sew
eral months ago by the board of SUI
pervising inspectors as the result of
repeated disasters, with great loss of
life, at New York, and elsewhere
during the past year.
A large number of men are here and
hearings will probably continue sew
eral days. Among those present to
represent the great lake interests are
the following: William Livingston,
Detroit, president Lake Carriers as
ISOLATION; Harvey Goulder, Cleveland,
general counsel Lake Carriers asso-
citation; Harvey Coulby, Pittsburg,
general manager of the steel trust
boats on the Great Lakes; H. w.
Thorpe and A. w. Goodrich of Chicago,
representing the Goodrich line steam
ers; E. c. Reynolds of Milwaukee, rep
resenting the Pere Marquette steam
ship line, and T. c. Conger, Buffalo,
manager of the Northern Steamship
company, these latter being the J. J..
Hill boats.
Secretary Metcalf is disposed to give
all interests full hearing before issu-
ing regulations officially. It has been
customary, before instituting import
ant changes in the code, to publish
these changes and allow an interval
of ninety days for criticism.
Secretary Metcalfs disposition to
hear all interests will mean that no
precipitate action will be taken
The government is determined. how
ever, that such accidents as that which
happened to the General Slocum in
New York harbor shall not be re-
peated if wise rules can prevent it.
These proposed new regulations will
govern every class Of vessels in this
country, on lakes and rivers as well
as along the coasts.

James j. Jeffries. says a Chicago pa
per. Too bad these two colossi didn't
carry on their campaigns at the same
time-the public could have been
treated to one OF the mightiest bat
ties ever seen in any ring, a struggle
of the giants. a grim encounter be-
tween two men who stood without a
peer-outside of each other
Supposing such mill to take
place, and supposing Sullivan to be

what sort of betting proposition
would it be. and what would the
chances seem like? Would the bulldog

was a furious rusher, and was not at
all shy on boxing science. Half mis-
men were whipped before the first
gong rang by the reputation or the
savage glare Of Sullivan, and the
rest were usually beaten down by
sheer strength and hitting power.
Jeffries has always been somewhat
larger than Sullivan, more massive in
all his lines-although John L. Sui
livan was tremendously rugged in
frame and cOmpOsition-and probably
less speedy in rushing and footwork.
Sullivan leaped upon his men like a
bull. Jeffries moves upon them like
the irresistible slide of glacier.
John L. overawed by the fury of his
attack. Jeffries gives the impress
sion of such uncheckable bulk that it
seems idle to resist the onslaught

done battle, what pictures could be
drawn of the combat! And what

Sullivan, rushing from his corner,
crowding Jeffries by sheer fury of the
rush, and sending in slejge- hammer
blows until even the colossus toppled
to the floor? Or, imagine Jeffries, I'M
stoppable, taking John LIS blows as
he did those of Fitzsimmons, crowding,
always crowding, till John was beaten
down by the mammoth in front Of
him?
Nothing like that fight anywhere
in the ring. 1t would be worth $50 Of

The opinion was delivered upon the

opinion follows:
l'y the term 'soo-goo eyes is meant
any c"n'ortion, unusual movement or
