Washington, Dec. 7 The aanual report, of Navigation Commissioner Chamberlain is devoted mainly to sta tistics and facts to support a project for the creation of a mercantile ma rine, recommended by Secretary Gage. Excluding the Great Lakes, the re port says, American vessels cleared during the year with seven and a quar ter million tons, foreign shipping thirty-two and two-thirds millions. There are at present only three courses open to the United States. The first may retain the laws unchang ed, ignore national navigation and con tinue to rely upon foreign vessels for the transportation of exports and imports. The second may permit for eign built vessels to register under our flag and ship Americau crews to in crease national navigation. The Third may extend direct government aid to vessels built here, increase na tional navigation and ship building. The last three named courses are sug gested by the report, to a very great extent.

The Matter of Lights and Cars To Be Further Considered. The board of aldermen held quite a lengthy meeting last night to hear and consider the report of the committee on street lights and street cars. The report was read, recommending the rejection of all bids as framed, sug gesting that the matter be continued for new and amended bids. The re port provoked a lengthy discussion. Alderman Shaw introduced an amendment to the report providing for the acceptance of the Maryland Manufacturing and Construction Com pany's bid with certain amendments on .condition that said amendments were made within ten days; or the ac ceptance of any other bid from re sponsible parties carrying with it an equally good contract with amend ments as suggested. Alderman Merriman offered as a substitute for the whole business a paper to the effect that the interests of the city would be best subserved by municipal ownership of the water works, electric light plant, the build ing of a market house and city hall completing sewerage and building good streets. ' Alderman El am opposed Mr. Mer riman's substitute on the ground that he did not believe in running any en terprise to balance the loss or defi ciency in another. The substitute was lost. The question then arose on the amendment offered by Mr. Shaw and after further diseussion was voted on and lost. The eport of the committee was then adopted, which leaves the matter open for new bids, also for amended bids. Mr. Shaw's amendment w.as lost on the ground that there was a pros pect of even a better bid than any yet received including the amendments suggested. The report of the committee empow ers the mayor td advertise for further bids. Tbe whole matter was postponed un til December 12th, when it will be call ed up again. The board instructed the city clerk to advertise in the city papers that ap plication will be made to the general assembly for amendment of the char ter of the city of Greensboro.

CUBANS DELldHTED With President's Message What Garcia Says About It. Washington, Dee. 6 The Cuban commissioners to Washington are making. much progress toward .the ac complishment of their mission, to the United States. General Garcia said that the members of the commission were-entirely pleased with-the attitude of the president's message- and his treatment and recommendations re garding Cuba. "It is an indication," said the old Cuban warrior, "that the president in tends that the .language of the resolu tion intervening in Cuban affairs shall be carried out, that Cuba shall have free and independent government. We can well afford to trust to the ac tion of congress regarding our wel fare. "Our mission here is an especially fixed one, and its purposes were laid down by the Cuban assembly at Santa Cruz, and we simply represent that body which represent the Cuban peo ple. We have been especially pleased with the reception ' which we have re ceived here, both publicly and pri vately, and with the regard which has been shown us by the officials of the United States government, and . the evident concern which the members of congress have exhibited in Cuban af fairs, and their determination to pro vide for the best interests of the is land." ACADEMY OF MUSIC. The Greatest of Repertoire Compa nies to Appear Here Next Week. The following notice is from the Raleigh Observer : "At the second appearance of the Peruchi-Beldeni Company at the Op era House last night the program was varied and the farce, "A Georgia Cracker,' was presented. Another full house greeted the players and the au dience manifested its appreciation in no unmistakable terms. The farce, like all attractions of that class, is devoid of plot and teeming with nonsensical and ludicrous, though laugh-producing, situations. Thecen tral figures were Mr. Peruchi and Miss Hazel Carleton. The former played the part of a young rascal in school and made a decided hit. His songs and comical absurdities evoked storms of applause. Miss Carleton is a clever soubrette and pushed the fun along. With her sister, Miss Daisy Carleton, their song and dance success of the first night was repeated. The professorship of James G. Mor ton was an amusing bit of acting. In the cast was Miss Elsie Graham, who has been seen here quite frequently. She appeared to good advantage last night as the widow. One of the most entertaining of the specialties was the turn of Emile Snbers, who is a good ' eoon" and knows when the audience has enough."
