Regular Monthly Meeting Yes terday Was Without Special . Interest to the Public. . COMPULSORY PILOTAGE LAW. Committee Named to Farther Consider Practicability of Its Abolition Ses sion Was Tame Compared to What Was Expected. The meeting of the Chamber of Commerce was rather tame yesterday afternoon io comparison with what was expected from a glance at the items for : consideration before the session; notable among them being the question of the abolition of the compulsory pilotage law at the port of Wilmington .and the matter of alleged excessive, stevedoring charges, 'upon both of waich mbjscta the organiza tion is about evenly divided as to opinion of members. The continua tion of theset- through , committees, which asked further time for invest!-' gation, likely eliminated the neces sity for lengthy and spirited discussion. President Jacobi was the presiding officarat the meeting and a constitu tional number of members were in at tendance. The session lasted from 4 until 5 o'clock and was devoid of de velopments of an interesting nature the general public. Messrs. Stone, Rourk & Co. and Capt. Edgar D. Williams were elected unanimously to membership in the organization. Mr. C. W. Worth was excused from duty as a member and chairman of the committee appointed at last meet ing with Messrs. J. A. Springer and J. T. Reilly, to investigate alleged exces sive charges by licensed stevedores at this port. Mr. A. B. Skelding was named by the president to fill the vacancy caused by Mr. Worth's resig nation. Mr. H. G. Small bones, chairman of the committee on securing the naval dry dock for Southport, reported per sistent efiort in this direction but little prospect of success. As chairman of the committee on the inland water way proposed - 7 Capt, Edgar D. Williams at last meeting, he also re ported progress. A similar report, but however more favorable, was made as to the proposed anchorage basin and Cape Fear improvement. There was no report by the commit tee appointed to have Wilmington placed on the list of Winter resorts to which railroads advertised round trip rates during this season. Mr. C. W. Worth stated that he thought it was necessary for tne attractions oi tne city to be properly presented to the various railroad companies that they might advertise the same, and that until some attraction was offered to the Northern tourists, the railroads would be dilatory in giving the city the benefit of reduced rates. The com mittee was continued. President Jacobi, added Messrs. J. W. Craig and T. D. Meares to the committee appointed to investigate the practicability of abolishing the com pulsory pilotage law. Mr. J. A. Ar- ringdale, who is decidedly in favor of making a change in the law, if. not abolishing it entirely, was made chair man of the committee by resolution at the December meeting. Mr. Small- bones moved to lay the matter of the compulsory law upon the table indefi nitely and this met a prompt second by Mr. N. N. Harriss but Mr. C. W. Worth raised a point of order and Messrs. Smallbones and Harriss ac auiesced without a ruling from the chair. The resolutions regarding geodetic and forestry matters, for which en dorsement was asked by State Geolog ist Holmes and which were referred to at length in connection with the proceedings of the Produce Exchange Managers in these columns day before yesterday, were adopted upon -motion of Mr. C. W. Worth and copies of same ordered sent to North Carolina's representatives in the TJ. 8. Senate and to Congressman Jno. D. Bel lamy, of this district. The president stated the Congres sional Committee had allowed Mr. Bellamy two surveys of rivers out of the four for which he asked improve ment, as follows: Lockwood's Folly, Livingston, Holly Shelter and Hood's Creek. Mr. Bellamy selected the first two named as the most important of the four proposed. Mr. B. F. Keith though) that Holly Shelter river, in Pender county, was of vastly more importance to the country which i( traverses and to the people of WilmingtOD than "Livings ton Creek, which is navigable to Cronly and which empties into the Cape Fear river. The Chamber de clined to take further action in the matter. ' - The president returned thanks to CoL Jno. L.

Macs of Cargo Saved Yesterday Work Will Begin ea Raising the Boat Probably To-day. It is expected that work will be' commenced to-day or early to-morrow in raising thejsunken steamboat E. A. Havxa, which is lying at the wharf of the company which owns her, as a re sult of an unaccountable accident which befel the craft yesterday morn ing at 3 o'clock, an account, of which appeared in these columns very soon after the occurrence. Members of the crew were yesterday engaged in saving a part of the cargo, but some of it had already drifted down the river, as Capt. W. A. Snell, pi the steamer Southport, discovered several bags of cotton seed and other material drifting toward the ocean as he was coming up the river yesterday. Capt. Irving Robinson, master of the, boat, still clings to the idea and it is a very plausible one, too that his boat sprung .vervJtiadJeak .soon after tieineup at her wharf. Before refiringCapi. Rob inson examined very carefully- for water in the hold, but there was none. He . thinks a very bad leak sprung from an unexpected quarter in the hull soon after coming into port. The loss to the, steamer and cargo will aggregate about $1,500 with no in surance. Her owners carried fire in- surance but no marine protection. The cargo consisted of 60 bags of cotton seed consigned by J. L. James, of Chinquepin, to the. North Carolina Cotton Oil Company; 304 barrels rosin consigned by S. O. Middleton, of Halls ville, to D. McEachern; 26 bar rels rosin consigned by J. L. James to McNair & Pearsall; one barrel of eggs consigned by J. L. Burton, of Chinque pin, to A. S. Winstead and three turkeys consigned to private parties. The crew succeeded yesterday in sav ing about 10Q barrels rosin, 30 bags cotton seed, tne barrel or ez? and a few other articles bdlonging to. the boat The Havoea was built at Point Cas well in 1895, is 78 feet long, 19 feet wide, 3.7 feet deep and is of 80 tons net register.

The Stab learns that the gentlemen interested in the new menhaden fish ery near Sodthport have decided, by reason of a possible question as to the title of the property, to change the location of the plant from two miles this side of Southport to a point near old Fort Anderson, on the river about . nine miles nearer Wilmington. The Southport Standard of this week, however, says that-, the plant will eventually be located permanently nearer the mouth of the Cape Fear. One of lhe8tesTOMxsHHBeorated by the company is expected next week. North Carolina Inventors. Messrs.

GENERAL ASSEMBLY. The: Message of Governor Rus sell Was Read in Both ; Houses. A FEW BILLS INTRODUCED. In the Senate, to Repeal the Greensboro Dispensary Law In the Honse, to Regulate Labor In Textile Fac tories (her Bills. Special Star Telegram. Raleigh, N. C, January 10. The General Assembly met at noon to day and received the message of Governor Russell, which was read and ordered printed.- In the introduction the mes sage congratulates the State on the fact that cotton manufacturing in North Carolina is increasing beyond the -dreams of the ' most thoughtful men of the past.. Work in the geo logical survey is reviewed. The Ag ricultural Society and Agricultural Department are commended most lib erally to the Assembly. It is recom mended that a liberal treatment be given the State University and, Nor mal School and the Agricultural and Mechanical College,- and all charita ble institutions. Special emphasis is put on the necessity df establishing a State reformatory, and action is strongly recommended. The litiga tion in which the State was in volved the past two years is reviewed and the Legislature is advised to clear the stock Jn the North Carolina Railroad Company of liens, so that the proceeds can be available for school and other pur poses. The Governor says the reve nues of the State are not adequate to the demands of the times; reports showing a deficit of $29,821.08 for last year. Referring to this matter he says if charities are to be sustained and enlarged to meet the manifest wants and relieve the sufferings of unfortu nate and abolish exis.ing horrors such as confinement of lunatics in common jails and in private houses with fami lies unable to care for them and with - out means of proper treatment; if re formatories are to be established, and if legitimate wants of the University are to be met; if common schools are to be enlarged ; the General Assembly must find additional sources of income. Attention is directed to the fact that, if a good price ' is obtainable, that the Atlantic and North Carolina railroad property will (furnish good assets available for increased expenditure. Recommendation is made; that the Governor's salary be increased to an amount nearer in keeping with the demands and dignity of the office. The present salary is not adequate. and entails serious pecuniary loss on a man of moderate means who quits personal earnings to be Governor on $3,000 a year. . . In conclttsionTiha message says There are subjects of legislation worthy of your consideration and not specially mentioned in this message. Among these are the establishment of a code commission; increase "of the number of superior court judges; res toration of authority to the judges to limit or regulate the time consumed in nisi prius trials; and equal if notsu perior in importance to all other sub jects of legislation, is the enactment of an election law by wnicn every cqn- stitutional elector shall be able to vote and have his vote counted as cast.
