The steamship Chattaboochee, which

thirty-six hours overdue. She was de-

THE U. =. COURTS.
Judge Speer's Decision in the Case
of Clerk Erwin.


of Clerk Erwin.
Judge Speer heard argument yesterday
on demurrer to the bill and reserved his
decision in the case of Curtis & Wheeler,
complainants, and Joseph Roos ct al,
defendants in equity. The decision was
reserved.
In the matter of the rule against Mr..
Erwin, Clerk OF the District Court, for
failure to issue an attachment for the
Italian barque SalomOne on complaint
for wages and certificate sued out before
Magistrate Naughtin by Frank Feol, one
ofthe'erew of the vessel, the Judge de.
livered his opinion directing a dismissal
OF the rule. dFAe Court held in substance
that as the comRlatRt was for seamans
wages only, and as the treaty with Italy
gives her consuls jurisdiction over such
controversies to the exclusion of the State
or Federal authorities or courts. the JUS
tice of the Peace acted without iurisdic-
ton end his certificate could be treated
as nullity.
The opinion also stated that as there is
standing rule of the court requiring the
Clerk without any further order OF the
Judge TO issue process on the fling OF
libel and stipulation for costs, that where
these prerequisites are complied with the
CleIk WOuld De protected lOr lssulbE pro-
cess whether the court had jurisdiction
or not as he would be Obeving the order of
a court Of record, and that in such cases
he should issue the attachment and leave
il to the court to decide the question of
Jurisdiction. That over certain classes
OF torts committed within their territorial
jurisdiction, the courts of the United
States will entertain jurisdiction al
though they arise out of controversies
between the masters and crews OF foreign
vessels, and although there are trial stip-
uiati0ns with such foreign nations of the
kind the United States has with Italy.
In this case the Iibellant mad relied
upon the certificate OF the Justice of the
Peace, which was VOID, and had not
rendered the stipulation for costs. as re-
quired by the standing order of the court.

THE PILOTAGG LAW.
Pilotase Commissioners Revise the
Fees for savannah.


The Governor, having approved the
new ect prescribing and defining the pow
ers OF the Commissioners OF Pilotage, the
commissioners for the port of Savannah
have, according to its provisions, revised
and graded the pilotage fees on vessels
drawing Il feet or less, so as to average
the fees charged a the ports OF Norfolk,
Wilmington, Charleston, Port Royal, Fer
nandlna, PENSACOLA, ApalacnicOla, Mo-
bile and New Orleans.
The new rates make but little change
in the fees, some OF the changes in
creasing them q little and others de-
creasing them, the average rates being
about he same as those which the old
laws charged.
AS already stated in the MORNING
NEWS, the most important change in the
pilotage law, and where the great saving
to vessels entering the ports OF the state
will accrue, is in licensing vessels.
Under the new law vessels running coast
wise under United States license, after
paying the inward pilotage for the trip,
can take out an annual license under
fee OF 25c. per registered ton which VIII
exempt them from pilOtage at the port for
one year, unless the vessel chooses 10 en-
ploy pilot. This fee goes to the pilot
who is entitled ito the inward pilotage.
Pilots canrOt collect fees unless they
offer their services outside of the bar, and
no pilotage can be collected on vessels
changing ports by inside routes unless
pilots services are engaged.
The new law will doubtless be &C
ceptable to all concerned, as it VIII har-
monte the difficulties which have existed
between the owners and agents Of regular
coasting vessels plying TO this port and
the pilots. which have been the cause of
considerable litigation. 1t will reduce
the earnings OF the pilots. but the law
makes provisions for the reduction of the
number OF pilots in the future, and that
will compensate to a certain extent for
the decreased amount of their total earn
inQs
