The twenty-fourth annual meeting of the Wilmington produce exchange was held yesterday at noon at the rooms of the exchange. Mr. Oscar Pearsall, the president, was in the chair, and Colonel John I CantwelL the secre tary, was at his post. The minutes of the twenty-third an nual meeting were read and approved. , The secretary and treasurer read his annual report and the same was or dered to be recorded. The president of the exenange read his annual reporj, as follows: ANNUAL REPORT. Wilmington, N. C, April 13. Gentlemen of the Produce Exchange: According to custom. I submit my annual report. In attempting this L will endeavor to be as brief as prac ticable. -The membership a year ago was 37; today it is 42. This slight in crease, in the membership is encourag ing, and we have especial cause for gratitude to Almighty God that death has not visited our number during the past year. Your exchange Is in a good financial condition; every item oi ex pense to date is paid. Our liabilities are nothing and we . have on hand $265.47 in cash. USEFULNESS OF THE EXCHANGE. The condition, with the facilities for general usefulness to the membership and to the public. Is such as has been in existence heretofore, in procuring market reports.'marltime news and much other information of more or less lvalue, every item of which is carefully recorded by our efficient secretary; and besides being useful for reference, af fords opportunity for obtaining valua ble, reliable statistics of such mat ters. Since the organization of the exchange we might, safely challenge if there has been a single Vessel of any size to this port that we can not give the dates of arrival "and ; departure, where from and where to, and both in-: ward and outward cargoes. It is a fact that Information is procured and" re cojaied here that is. not to be found elsewhere, and government officials have, come here 1 and obtained facts from this exchange not to be had oth erwise, not even in the United States custom house. It must be apparent to the minds of any; and all who have not heretofore known the' value of the work done by this exchange that the amount of clerical work done requires the services of a competent secretary; but the general public does not know the cost or appreciate the far reaching usefulness of the exchange directly or indirectly to the community. While it is more useful to merchants, millers, brokers, and manufacturers, every cit izen who owns anything owes the ex change his moral support i if nothing else. The members have it in their province to ' Increase the usefulness to themselves and at the same time make it desirable to others to become mem bers. OUR PORT IMPROVEMENTS. The success which has atteneded the efforts of, the government employes in giving our port deep water at the bar and In the river -channel up to the city must be gratifying to lis all who have had in contemplation great commercial advantages resulting from it. Yet I heard a gentleman say recently that the closing of New Inlet had damaged the trade of this city more than any thing else that has ever occurred, and that the trade of one "corn cracker" of 500 bushels capacity was worth more than that of the largest ocean steamer carrying five or six. thousand bales of cotton. How much fact there may be in this opinion, as expressed; is a mat ter of guess; but in- this connection I venture to ask, What have we in lieu of the trade that formerly came from the eastern counties through small coasting vessels? Is it offset entirely by a large increase in the export of cotton? For, since the closing of New Inlet it has been impossible to increase the export of naval stores for the rea son known to you all that the supply of this product has been gradually de creasing in our section for years. RAILROAD DISCRIMINATION. The management of the railroads ter minating here are more, considerate of our requirements, and can contribute more to the rapid development of local Interests than any other gaency. It Is possible for them to do for Wilmington what the Richmond and Danville and perhaps other lines have done for Rich mond. Why should the through freight and travel be sought to the disadvan take or expense of local business? Why will a. railroad : haul a car of through freight eighty miles for $4 and charge $5 for a local haul of four miles for the same? Why does it cost our farmers 54 cents per barrel to send their potatoes to New York, and ,thi New York producer" may send, us his for 30 cents per barrel? If these conditions are just from any standpoint of rea soning I am still , of the-opinion that they tend to retard the progress and development of our section. Yet, with our five railroads extending into' the interior in as many directions, our mer chants have opportunity of enlarging their trade by the employment of nec essary enterprise with discretion. GROWTH OF OUR -TRUCKING IN . . TERESTS. In my opinion the principal factor in promoting the prosperity and progress of our city and section is agriculture. It Is encouraging to know that there is progress in this branch of industry, evidenced not only by the increased cotton crop but also of grain. In our immediate section truck and berry crops are of no little importance. We are apt to lose sight of the industry because it has not heretorfore come under our observation or in our lines of trade. I believe these crops, have increased tenfold during, the past five years, and in many sections where cot ton has been and is an 'important crop, it is conceded by those, who know best that the value of the truck and berry crops is greater than that of cotton. It behooves us to give such encourage ment to our producers as it may be practicable to do, , .' : ' " ft THE QUARANTINE. .' The erection of a suitable quarantine station, at this port is a precautionary measure, the value of which can never be known. We may congratulate our selves on, this much desired acquisition to our port, and thank all who have beenJnstrumental in procuring it. This, with our good .health record, will count much for ,us in the summing-tip or tavorabie conditions as a seaport. IMPORTANCE OF SEWERAGE. " The other principal requirement de volves upon our city government to provide an adequate sytsem of sewer age to protect and promote the public health. This has been a long felt want.

Shall we wait for the visitation of an' other such calamity as came upon us in 1862, before realizing the Importance of this requirement? RECEIPTS' AND EXPORTS. " From the secretary's books I gather the following figures: v Receipts f for year ended April 1st, 1897 Cotton, 232,204; Spirits, 39,928; Rosin, 192,640; Tar 50,646; Crude, 10,465. Receipts for year, ended 1st April 1896 Cotton, 164,242; Spirits, 46,553;, Rosjn, 205.137; Tar, 67,198; Crude, 13,365. , Cotton, increase 67,962; : Spirits, de crease 6,625; Rosin, decrease 12,497; Tar, decrease 16,554 Crude, decrease 2,900. Exports for year ended 1st April 1897 Cotton, 225,316 ; Spirits. 41,411 ; Rosin, 211,992; Tar, 59,133; Crude, 10,929; Lum ber 89,216,785. Exports for year ended 1st April 1896 Cotton, 156,614; Spirits, 45,185; Rosin, 190,149; Tar, 62,767; Crude, 13,302; Lum ber, 35,163,092. Cotton, Increase 68,802; i Spirits, de crease 8,774 ; Rosin,, increase 21,843 ; Tar, decrease 3,634; Crude, decrease 2,373; Lumber, -increase 4,053,693. i - These figures indicate what we have realized for. years past in the fallin'g oft of our naval stores products, but they also indicate that our cotton producing-, section haa been peculiarly, for tunate in having about a f full .crop at prices which were doubtless enhanced by the short crops further south. " RECOMMENDATIONS. The membership should be increased to about 100. In my opinion there are that many business men and others here who ought to be directly interest ed and contribute to the expenses of maintaining the exchange. Let us while striving to improve our individual in terests use that business enterprise in our respective lines which is in evidence on xne part or our coiion exporters ana fertilizer manufacturers, to the end that our trade in some other things may-be-on a parity with these.- An organization of capital and effort havmg for its object trade with South America and the West Indies might prove profitable. I would like to see it done. The time may be upon us to make similar effort for the export trade in grain and flour. Your committee on transportation should continue to work for such equitable freight rates as will enable us to compete with other mar kets for the trade; of our section. Your committee on manufactories should be alert to foster and encourage any proposition for manufacturing en terprises. - - i The quotation 'committee should be diligent, prompt and regular in making daily quotations, which will give a cor rect iuea "of the value of every ' article quoted. , ' Your membership committee, I hope, will work to make up the 100 members at an early date. . . Your arbitration committee will hard ly have much to do, judging from the past. - In1 conclusion, I know of no necessary amendment to our present rules,! as all our merchants are working harmo niously under them. I would be remiss not to mention the valuable assistance your board of man agers have rendered to me. and you can hardly estimate their services too highly. Colonel Cantwell, our efficient secretary, has been always faithful to his duties, and I wish to express my gratitude to him for his faithfulness and courteous attention; and for the kindness and manv courtesies which I have received from you all I wish now" to make proper acknowledgment. Upon retiring' from office I bespeak 'for my successor that . same , consideration at your hands that I have ever receiv. ed, and wish for the exchange, contin ued prosperity and increased useful ness. Respectfully submitted, OSCAR PEARSALL. i President. COMPLIMENT TO THE PRESIDENT Mr. C. W. Wprth offered the follow ing: . i. "That a- vote of thanks be extended to President Pearsall fori his very val uable and faithful services and for his instructive report with the recommen dation that the report be spread upon the minutes and copies furnished the daily press." President Pearsall called. ex-Presi dent W. H. Sprunt to the chair and the aboveresolution was put by him and unanimously adopted. i - " . President Pearsall then resumed the chair and made a few remarks express lng his appreciation of the sentiments of the exchange towards; him. - TO PULL TOGETHER. The members of the exchange then in a general way discussed several of the interesting fatures ;of- the presi dent's annual report; The gratifying increase of the trucking interests in this' section were especially ' discussed by. Colonel Walker Taylor, and Messrs, W. H. Sprunt, Oscar Pearsall and oth ers,-. The matters of freight discrimina tion and grain exports were discussed, and also questions of general concern to the exchange;- Several members spoke of the Importance andj necessity of working unitedly in the interest of our commercial and industrial progress. The general sentiment was to pull to gether in all things. ' " The meeting then adjourned. OFFICERS ELECTED. The polls for the election of officers of the exchange were opened in the rooms yesterday from 11 a. m., to 1 p. m., and the following result was de clared by the. Inspectors of election, Messrs. M. J. Corbett, Walker Taylor and J. K. Williams, viz.: President Oscar Pearsall. Vice President H. G.- Smallbones. Board of Managers F. E. Hashagen, C. H. Robinson. C. E. Borden, S. P. McNair and D. L. Gore. The officers named were re-elected. - The committees will be appointed by the president at his leisure. Sweet, Taw or frozen Cream for sale at Palace 'Bakery. ' THE AIRSHIP. . Professor George Hough of the Northwest er d University Says it is the Star Alpha Orlonls. . ' Baltimore Sun. Professor George Hough, . of Dearborn observatory, Northwestern university, is quoted as saying that the light which has thrown the west into such a state of ex citement is the star Alpha Orionis. "Alpha Orionis appears on the meridian at 5 o'clock and becomes visible at 8 o'clock. At that time it resembles a strong white electric light. It first becomes noticeable in the central southwest portion of the sky. At an unusually rapid rate for a star it takes it course toward the north west, finally disappearing in that corner. As the star begins to sink,, the atmos pheric conditions cause it to appear to be of a reddish hue on the under side and green on the upper portion when seen through a glass. The center of the body is white." Yet Sirius the Dog Star is much, brighter and follows Alpha Orionis, while the planet Venus,-brighter still than any star,, shines on ahead. But; in spite of the cold, unimaginative declarations of science, there are thou sands! of people in the west who still firm ly believe that they have seen the famous airship, and who utterly decline to ac knowledge that they have been simply "star1 gazing" without knowing it. If these people will study the southern sky about the middle of June they will see the airship develop Into something like a sea serpent. The astronomers will tell them it is the constellation of the Scorpion, one of the most beautiful in the heavens. But they must not believe it. . Judge Robinson .

Today's ses slon for senatorial balloting was spiritless at the beginning. The democrats of both factions and the anti-Hunter republicans all refrained from answering either to the preliminary roll call or to that for a bal lot, the result being exactly the same as yesterday, except as to the number of votes received by Hunter, which was 57. Mr. Johns moved to. adjourn, but the re publicans resisted, and by a vote of 57 noes to no yeas the assembly refused to adjourn. - The president ruled a call of the house was the only thing in order except the motion to adjourn. Finally the republicans asked ' the call of the house and the gold democrats mov ed to adjourn. The latter prevailed. The gold democarts say that Blackburn has refused to do anything for Martin, and to morrow they will make a quorum and give Hunter one more chance. - The circuit court "adjourned for the day beiore any report Dy the grand Jury had been made. - The gold democrats in caucus tonight decided to break no more quorums in the balloting for United States senator. They admjt that Hunter is liable to be elected now, ut they say that the Blackburn men who refuse .to support Martin will be responsible for the result. If Hunter is not elected after a few trials they will demand that he retire. They are de termined that if they cannot elect a gold democrat they will help elect a gold re publican. i The state executive committee of the silver democracy today called a state con. vention for this city June 2nd, for the nomination or a clerk or. the court of ap peals.

The most interesting animal, historical ly, in the collection of the zoological gar dens in Washington is a handsome Afri can leopard, before whose cage the visitor pauses, watching with a, fascination composed of equal parts of repulsion and admiration the graceful, litheness of its serpent-like movements, its fathomless aqua-marine eyes, and the venomous beauty of its skin, It as a gift to his native city of Rich ard Dorsey Mohun, the distinguished Af rican, explorer, and United States consul to Zanzibar, and. has been, christened by him Dljlni, an African word signifying devlL. It seems that the .Inhabitants of a cer tain village in which Mr. Mohun was sta tioned were kept in terror for the safety of their children by the periodical Incur sions of a fierce female leopard, who bore away In' her powerful jaws pigs, sheep, and any . other domestic animal which chanced to tempt her feline appetite. The consul,- accordingly, resolved to rid them of this nuisance, and having laid her low from a discharge from his rinle, discov ered that he had orphaned an Interesting young cub. This cub, which he adopted, was Dljlni. Under his care the animal grew so tame that he followed him about the streets like a dog, and finally accom panied him on a visit to Germany. When the carriage he nad taken stopped in front of one of the principal hotels in Antwerp, and the consul sprang ut, Dijini leaped after him, and the two en tered the building together. The long Intimacy which had existed be tween, them prevented Mr. Mohun .from realizing the sensation the introduction of so unique a pet would create -among the inmates of a well-regulated establishment. in an instant the floor of the office was Hftared. a.nd eniests were seen scaline- nil- lars. and '"eMnging to the balustrades. while ; the proprietor, from his vantage ground behind a windowed partition. poured forth volleys of expostulations in broken English. . c "He's as tame as. a cat,' urged Mr. Mo hun. "I raised him from a cub." But. explanations and reassurances were powerless to dislodge such prejudices. Poor Dijini had to be caged; g.ndt after refusing several liatiering oners tor mm from owners of menageries. Mr. Mohun shipped him to America. Six months afterwards, upon his return to Washing ton, the consul drove out ito the gardens to see his pet, and horrified-the man in attendance by jumping over the railing whicn renced in his cage, i "Get back," he exclaimed, rushing for ward. "It isn't safe to go so near. The animal is fierce." : "I don't think he'll hurt me," replied Mr. Monun quietly, thrusting his arm be tween the bars. . i ......... . "Are you crazy?" broke forth the keep er, seizing him by both Shoulders. , "Don't you know you'll get your arm chewed off?" ..... But at this instant Dijini' s eyes-fell upon his master. Uttering a hideous- cry of joy, he sprang forward, and fawning before him, thrust out his long red tongue and licked his extended hand. Body of Senator Voorhoes Lying in State.
