The aim is to connect the Syrian Sea with the river Euphrates, one of the most important highways ot Asiatic trade. New York and Boston are aroused simultaneously with new issues by the gas monopolies. Boston js agitated by the question whether, in view of the experience of other cities, it it expedient to admit a water gat rival to competi tion with the old monopoly; and New York is anxious to ascertain how to protect herself from the poor gas and large bills of her divers competitive companies, which have pooled their issues in a 40.006.000 consolidation. The knitted woolen goods business became very profitable in Canada after the adoption of a policy of protection by the Dominion. Within a short period of time eighty-two sets of knit - ung maenmery were in operation, pro ducing nearly 300.000 dozen suits of underwear annually. As the yearly consumption of these goods inCanada is somewhat lass than 900,000 dozen, and the makers are confined to the home market, they are about to combine to restrict prod action. The total number of banking instil u tions that failed in 1884 is 121. eleven ot which were national banks, twenty-two State banks, eleven savings banks and seventy-seven private banking institu tions. Nineteen of these failures are traceable to the fraud of bank officers ; tweoty-five of them resulted from un fortunate operations in stocks discon nected from the element of fraud ; and sixty-seven, or more than one-bait of them, were due. either directly or indi rtctly, to some form ot Speculation.

PRESIDENT'S RFPORT. Gentlemen: At the expiration of an other year we meet at this, our thirty second, annual meeting of the Seamen's Friend Society, to consider its interest and to devise the best method to ex tend its usefulness. It is with great regret and heartfelt sorrow that we miss from bis accustomed place one of our members, who has been wont to meet with us year by year in the past, lo encourage us by his example and precept, and who was always a steady and earnest worker in tho interest of this Soctetv. and one of its firmest j friends, but who "has passed over the j refer to lhe late Alexander Sprunt. in . whose death not only this Society was f bereft of an useful member, but the mercantile circles of an upright, honor. ; able businessman, and this community ofa valuabIc citizen.

Gentlemen: In submitting my re port as your Chaplain, you are aware of the difficulties that are in the way of success, iconic of which we hope to overcome in the near future; yet I am not discouraged I have t-een some good results from my labors. I have visited two hundred vessels, some of them repeatedly. 8S in my judgment I deemed it neccssarry ; and as a means of accomplishing good, I have disturbed 8,264 pages of tracts iu the various lauguazes; also, fifty copies a month of the Sailor's Magazine, given by the Parent Society. I have ilso visited the Marine Hospital regularly, read the Scriptures and prayed with and for the sick, and endeavored to do good in every possible way. I am glad Jto say that I have reason to believe my T 1 1 . a 1. " ifcir U laoors nave noi oeen m vain. out. uave been blessed of God .to the salvation of some souls. Some have died that I think have gone to rest from their labors; others have gone out again to meet the storms of old ocean ; but I trust with such impressions on their minds and hearts as; shall eventu ally bring them to Christ, that they may be saved in the home of the good. I am encouraged to work when I re member that God has said "my word shall not return to me void, but shall accomplish that whereunto I have sent it." This work cannot be too highly hestimated when we consider the class of men who are its real beneficiaries. Respectfully submitted, J. W. Craig, ChaplaiD. Personal. Hon. R. R. Bridgers was in Raleigh yesterday. Mayor Hall left for Raleigh this morning and will not return until Sat urday. p In the absence of Mayor Hall from the citv, Alderman Dudley wiU officiate as Mayor pro tern. Mr. Hayes W. Beflty, of South River, Bladen county, is in;the city to day on one of bis rare visit3. Mr. J- A. Powell, formerly of Samp son countv, but now residing in War saw township, Daplin county, was in the city to-day. We regret to learn that Mr, Halsted Bourden, one of the oldest and best citizens of Duplin county, is iu quite feeble heaitrh which confines him to his house. Mr. William M. Hurst, Sheriff of Duplin county, has been compelled to resign on account of prolonged and serious ili heaih. His resignation was tendered on Monday last to the County Commissioners and accepted. His successor has not yet been appointed New Hampshire Excursionists. The New Hampshire Club, compos ed of ex-Governors ex Congressmen residents of banks and manufacturing, corporations, newspaper men. mer chants, capitalists and other prominent men in the Granite State, will pass through this city next Tuesday even ing in four Pullman Palace cars, en ron.e for the great exposition at New Orleans. They will return by the same route, passing through U ilming ton on their homeward trip on or about the 21st inst. The Alantic Coast Line seems to be a favorite routs for excur sionists for the South, and especially with those going to the Expositition We expect the New Hampshiae Ciub will find a marked difference in the climate between the ice and snow of their native hills and tne balmy Spring like weather of North Carolina. 4, 1885.
