Police and police court circles are

telling Just what may happen next
after the happenings OF yesterday.
and the NEXT move of the state agents
is waited with considerable curiosity.
The city officials had no comment
to make upon the occurrence yester-
day. They were silent for the most
part. In some circles 1t Is intimatsd
that the occurrence yesterday might
have a political significance. The

Federal inspection.

st. Louis obe-Democrat: Secre
tary Redheld of the department Of
commerce, says the federal inspectors
OF steamboats, have no power to pass
upon the stability Of boat. It may
be. we ara given to understand, any
kind Of an old tub. built in any shape
a designer pleases, top heavy or lop
sided, and the inspectors have moth
ing to say. What, then. in heavens
name, is the purpose Of inspection!
1t Is the common notion, although \
seems to be mistaken one, that ships
are inspected with the object OF as
certaining their general seaworthi
ness, and It has been supposed that
a vessel so inspected and passed was
offcially declared to be safe. It ap
pears now that this idea Is entirely
wrong. A ship may run ION its ears
or on its back, It may list as IL pleases,
or turn bottom side up with IMMUNITY
That Is no concern of the inspector
Such fdiosyncracies, we are told, are
not covered in the statutes made and
provided. The inspector, acting for
the government OF the United States,
Will give the owners Of q vessel
authority to carry one passenger for
every nine feet OF deck space, but II
Is not for him to say whether such a
load will make the ship top heavy and
dangerous to life. Nine feet to pas.
senger Is the rule, we are informed.
and there the responsibility Of federal
inspection seems to end az to that
part OF the service. The Eastland had
for years been known to those IN the
lake service as an unreliable boat, one
that had to be handled with great care
to keep 1t on its feet. so to speak, vet
