1t would be of no value in presenting
any plan of development to the con-
sideration Of the government officers.
The total number of tons of exports
and imports at said port of San Pedro,
is over 100000 annually, the arrival
and departure of passengers is about
10000 for the period, over 1000, 900 feet
of lumber is received. Nearly the en-
tire freight for the counties of Los An
| geles, San Bernardino, Inyo, the
Southwestern part of the State of Ne
vada and the north part of Arizona is
imported and exported from this port.
| There is annually about 5000, 900 coin
paid out by the consumer and the la
boring people of the aforesaid region
of country for lighterage, all of which
can be obviated by the proposed work.
The Chamber of Commerce further
represent that over two-thirds of all

such legislation is had. First, that
the unexpired portion of the appro-
priatiOn heretofore made to the Will
mington breakwater, be continued for
dredging out the bar and for such other
work as will best secure the early COM
pletion of good channel to deep water
across the bar.
Second, That out of the above un-
expended appropriation the officers in
charge of the work on said breakwater
be authorized to make a complete hy-
geographic survey and map of the
inner bay of San Pedro or Whining
ton Harbor and to report what work,
if any, and the cost, Is necessary to
secure a channel 45O feet wide by 20
feet deep at low tide up to the present
wharf at Wilmington,
Third, That said port be made port
of entry and delivery with q custom
house established at Wilmington, Los
Angeles county, California, under the
name of Port OF Wilmington.
Believing that the matters herein
represented are of importance to the
prosperity of large area of country,
we respectfully ask your attention to
the matter. Respectfully, etc,

NEW YORK, Dec. 2t

NEW YORK, Dec. ~.
At q meeting of the creditors of the
Chesapeake & Ohio Railroad Co. held
in this city to-day, at which large
representation was present, it was
unanimously resolved to accept the
proposition of the company to fund
the floating debt with income bonds.
The trial of ex-senator William M.
Graham, late President Of the Wall

Judge Benedict. A jury was obtained,
and the Court adjourned until to-mor-
row.
The United States steamer Ossippee
has arrived in port without the Vir-
ginius. 1t is rumored that the latter
sunk OH its passage. The Tribune says
nothing can be learned concerning
the Virginius. 1t is almost improb-
able that she can have been left in the
outer bay, since the tide is in every
respect most favorable to towing her
into port. 1t seems to be the general
impression that the Virginius was
either cast adrift or accidentally be-
came separated from the Ossippee,
during the terrible storm of the 28th
instant. All recent reports have rep
resented her as being in leaky and
generally disabled condition.

line to Fulton Ferry, taking boat

ceeded to Cuban restaurant, where

United States. They marched briskly
through the streets, showing no signs
of suffering. When transferred to the
tug boat from the steamer Juniata,
which carried them to this port from
Santiago, they gave rousing cheers
for their several benefactors, leading
off with three for the commander of
the British steamer Niobe, to whom
they feel indie bted for preserving their
lives,

A Requiem for the Old Year.

Mourn not the Old Year departing,
Press back the bitter tears starting,
Watch roRnd his pillow till dawn.
With the past, dusty and rotten,
Leave him to slumber forgotten
With the dim centuries gone.
Life is but short and uncertain,
Yelled by Times dark, misty curtain,
Changeful and false as the moon:
Checkered with pleasure and sorrow,
Dark clouds or sunshine tomorrow
Fading and vanishing soon.
Weep not for bright hopes departed,
Sigh not in grief, broken-hearted,
Dream not of memories fed.
Bury the dead with his treasures, lures
Bright dreams and quck-heeting pleas
Summer flowers, withered and dead
Other years, blooming above us,
Come like the children that love us,
Burden ed with bright hopes and fears,
Bringing sweet pleasure and giadness,
Sunshine, and joy, AID sadness,
Darkness, and sorrow, and tears.
Softly the Old Year is dying;
Family and slowly his signing
Breaks through the stiffness and gloom.
Gather around, ye that love him,
Scatter the roses above him,
Lay him to rest in his tomb.

Probable Wreck Of the Virginius.
WILMINGTON, Dec. 20.

DIR. Wilbanks, of the steamer Tona-
wanda, which arrived here on Sunday
from Philadelphia, reports passing a
sunken vessel nine miles south of
the main bar with only her topmasts
or topgallantmast out of water. The
steam tug Brandt subsequently visit
ed the spot, her officers concurring in
the opinion that the sunken vessel was
undoubtedly square-rigged steam
ship. A pork barrel was floating above
the wreck attached to it by twelve
inch hawser, the hawser having been
evidently used for towing purposes.
Pilots at the mouth Of the river state
that on Friday last they observed,
near the spot where the vessel lies, a
large steamer in tow of a full-rigged
ship, but could not tell whether the
latter was steamer or not. The above
facts taken in connection with tele-
grams announcing that the steam
er Georgia, which arrived at New York
from Charleston, spoke the Virginius
in tow off Cape Roman, on the oath
inst, at 2 o'clock P. NJ, renders it toll
erably certain that the sunken ship is
the world renowned Cuban fillibuster-
ing vessel. 1t is probable that the
Virginius being already in leaky
condition, was so much damaged by
gales about Christmas times that an
attempt was made to bring her near
enough to this bar if possible, to get
there before she sunk. Her crew were
taken off by the man of way having
her in charge, which then proceeded
on its voyage. The sunken ship lies
in about eight fathoms of water with
bold headlight bearing north, half
east, nine or ten miles distant. A pi-
lot from Smithville visited the spot on
Sunday evening, and the men who
were on her fully agree in opinion
that it is steamship. Only few feet
of the mainmast is visible above the
water, and there are numerous spars
floating around her, which are proba-
bly, still attached to the vessel by
means of the rigging. 1t is thought
that when she was abandoned a pork
barrel was placed as buoy to mark
the spot where she went down. The
ships of course total loss.
