Inspector General Dumont Submits His nual Report An. The records of the Unlted States steam. ship inspection service, which durin: the rection of General Dumont, as Inspector general, show that daring the last fiscal year the number of lives lost on steam vesse's was approximately 338, Tals was an increase over the average of the preceding years of 128, the steam hip Colima, recently, «ff the Pa. ast 19 years 247. The highest nual lost was 586 in 1874 133 in 1886. Notwithstanding the great crease inthe number of vouseis since over 100 per cent. ~thero have been but 729 previous an 5.0.7 lives, the number of persons carried 180 carried In 1570, to not less than 650,000, - 000 carried ln 1802. The average loss of Ho under the law of 1851 was one person to every 250,181 presengers earried, while uan- der the act of 1871, which greatly improvel the sfficienoy of the servic, there was only one life lost In each2,7.8,338 pas-engers sarried, or a reduction in the number of lives lost of nearly 11 to 1 In proportion to the number of passengers carried, The service consists of 175 ofMoers and clerks, one super. vising inspecior general, ten supervising in- spectors of distriots, under whom are local fnspeclors, divided amongst the various cus. toms colisoting districts of the United States, One of the most striking Instances of the benefits derived from the powers oonferred upon inspectors under the law is the almost entire absenos of intemperance at the pres. ont time upon the part of the licensed offi cors, An alleged defect in the laws, and one which has caused much eritisism, Is in the looal inspectors’ power to Investigate the oause of boller explosions and easuaities to steam vessels, thus giving the inspectors tha right to pass judgement upon their own acts.
