NOT L1KELT TO HATE OCCURRED CH-DER AMERICAN lEdPECTION LAWS. Th accident to th lam an Lis steamship City of Paris formed an all-eagroaalng topic-of conversation amoog prominent naval engineer In thla city yeaterday. From what could he gathered la conversation tbe reputation enjoyed by balldera on tbe Clyde ha Buffered materially in the estimation of our prominent engineers, and. ao far from Amerleaa shipbuilding ttcms being behind those of Great Britain It is claimed tbat no Amerleaa establishment could, by the laws of this country, have placed machinery I a vessel which would have rendered her helpless in Just such a case aa happened with the great Kogllsti liuer.

Far from being reticent in expreaalag an opinion concerning tne City of Parle, the majority of the engineera met yesterday were very outspoken in their criticisms, not only aa to tbe meaner in which the machinery la tilted aboard, but aa to the policy of tae Inman people in attempting to kep quiet tbe real fact of the accident, Mr. My ara Coryell, the designer of the engine of the new war ablps Chuaso. Boston, and Atlanta, and an ex-member of the Naval Advisory Board of tbe Aavy Department, wheu asked wnat opinion be had formed of the ao-oideut to the City of Facia, aaid: It la the most startling thing I have real In a long time, aud for tba life of me I don't know what to think of it, Aa to the reports sent out from tbe veeael about tn cause of the accident," he continued. I place very little reliance in them, aad I eertslnly ihlak that the Inman Line people will be making a great aila-take If they I all to make publie fa a true cause ot the miahaii. But the atrangeat part ot all.

to me. 1 tbe coarse that it appear wa neeee-ary in the freeing tbe vessel of water. According to my paper the crew used bucket. This statement I look npoa as absolutely startling. Where were tue deck pumps, of which, by the laws or tats country every steamship is reqalred to carry a certain number on deck.

To my certain knowledge the City of Faria eoald have had no lea than twelve large Worthingtoa pumpa, each capable ot diacaarglng 1,000 gallon ot water per minute; yet from all accounts not one of tbe mp waa brought into pa ration, and why Biuuply because tbe Btuliaa placed, thaa ea tbe aame lino with their boilers or machinery, so a steamship can pass tae Steam loa pax-tors ia thla oountry unlets supplied wita donkey boilere and pumps on the mala decs aad above or at tae water line. Aa to tbe real causes ot the aealdent I can only eonjeetnre. To me it would appear that a eonneetiog rod must have been turowa off and harled through the bottom ot the ship wita tb violenoe of a cannon ball. In such a case the hole ia the bottom must be a mere panut-nre. for I cannot conceive of auffieieut impetus being Im parted to burl a beavy bar of metal broadside through tbe doable bottoms of a abip like tbe City of Pari.

It cannot fail lo be a surprie to Amoricau machinicj that a vessel aupposed to be the acmt, of perfection la mara-Uma architecture abould have given auoh evidence of being so detective a the City ef Parte haa given." Mr. Horace Bee, late Superintendent for William-Cramp Son, uil tne designer of the xuachluerr for th fastest, war ahlpaever turned out In this country, the Vesuvius. Yerktowa. and Baltimore, wa found at ala oftice la th Washington Building. Mr.

Bee, who is at present superintendent of machinery for tbe great work ot the Chesapeake and Ohio Dock Company, la probably, without a au peeler in tbe engineering world ia bla profession. Ia response to the Inquiry ot what opinion he had formed coaoaralng the City of Faria, Mr. bee declared: "lam unable, from the account ao far received, to term aay aconite opinion concerning the accident, but tha fauta ahoald eonaa oat. and abouid be lehrired by engineera everywhere, aad they may, perhaps, be the mesas of preventing, at leant to soms extent, future acei-deata. The arrangemeut of pump aboard the City of Faria appeara to ma to hava beea very defective, and I marvel al aueu a display by the builders.

Tb bulkheads, from what I can later, muat have been extresncly weak; la fact, they do aot appear to have beea able to withstand any strain. It may have been taat tbe water crowded too rapidly to allow those below to shnt off the different comoart-menta, bat aaraly there auould have beea some arrangement on deck to have enabled tbem te ao kia Aa to the arrangement ot tbe machinery in the City of Faria mere la much to criticise, but until it ta known absolutely what tne real causes ef tne aeeident were, we can only conjecture. I crossed the water twlee last year on the City of Faria. aad on each occasion was able to wnnesa tne working ot the machinery. It 1 "mil oil aad water down there, I eaa assure you.

The Clyde people have turned oat many good pieces of work, but 1 doubt extremely it a piece ot machinery de-stcned. built, and fitted this country would have left the vessel as helpless aa did the ma-' chlnery of the City oi Faria under aueh conditions." At thnavyard tha City of Pari accident waa dlaeaasea treely yesterday among eagiaeer officers. Chief Dangan.

Oaief ot tbe Departuaeat of bteani Fagineenag, said 1 "I dined out the Saturday before tbe City ef Parte sailed, aad at tne dinner met Chief Engineer alia of the big Inmaa liner. I remember hi telling me taat ainco he took charge ef the macblnery of the Faria the veeael had nave been stopped five minutes to effect a repair. 1 don't know what to make of thla aeeident. I cannot conceive on board of our own ablpa a ayatem ao defective as te cense na to be unable for want ef a team la tne main boilers to work bilge pnmpa it Is certainly strange, to sa tae least, tbat the City of Faria had ao bilge pumpa oa her upper deeka. I would infer that tbe atoie in the veaael'a bottom muat nave beea ased by a connecting red flying off.
