The ; special agent wal hero last week and listed all tike boats he found on these waters that had not (complied with the* law. He is expected here agaiin in a day or two. The matter appears not to be tthoroughly understood here yet among boatmen,, but as near as can be got at, it seems that these i are denominated . government waters, and the law requires all vessels to be officially mecasured, so that their tonnage is ascertained, and to be registered. And it reqiuires, further- more, that each man ennployod on these, boats shall pay to the hospitail fund 40 cents ai month. Under this law a mian employed on a boat or vessel who becomes (.disabled or sick is taken care of at some hospital aat government expense during his disability. It is stated to a Sorthiresterit reporter that thee Carter is the only boat on the Fox and Wolf Rhvers that has been measured and registered. It ebo happens that a boat is charged with hospital teases only after she is registered, and now the government has a bill of $1 25 against the owners of the Carter—Cook, Brown & Co.—for hospital tax.. The other boats, aot having been registered, escape all arrearages for hospital tax. Mr. Cook said today that * he expected! that every boat-owuer on this river woulldbe fined $50, the penalty for not complying witlh the law; bat it was the expectation to have thie fines remitted, under the circumstances, wheireupon all vessel-owners would hereafter coin ply with the law, which, on the whole, was a good thing for the boatmen, virtually insuring tine crews in case of accident or sickness. In order,, therefore, to have an officer convenient to receive hospital dues and attend to other requirements o>f the law, a movement is on foot to have a D'eputy Collector of Customs appointed for this citw, and a petition is now being circulated for the appointment of S.

The air was filled! with rumors regarding the safety of the ting Swain yesterday. The recent stormy weatfcher had nothing- to do with It, and it was not thought that she had suffered from a collision or explosion. The reports concerning'- her were started In Windsor, and soon found their way t9 this side. The people over there somehow got the idea that the Swain (an American tug), in defiance of law amd order—that is, Canada law and Canada order—had gone to the rescue of the American sohooner Starlight, ashore at Cove Isiamd, Georgian Bay, Canadian waters. The rmmor soon spread to Ottawa, and ins true fcioms are said to have been issued to seize the Swain. The latest telegraphic reports reoieived at this office last night failed to mentiion the seizure, and it is presumed that it baffi not yet been made. In the meantime, according to her owner's account, the Swain is on Lake Huron looking for a tow, and has mo intention whatever of attempting Jhe releiase of the stranded Starlight. Some citizems of Windsor state in very forcible language that the wholesale violation of the wrteckage law by American tugs is about to be; stopped, but they will probably wait till sonneboay breaks their law before they stop it.—Detroit Free Press.
