Important Norfolk Decision About
Co,mpuIsory Pi1otnEe.

NORFOLK, VA. January 17.-tspecial.)
The Virginia pilotage laws are unconstitu-
tional. At least Judge Martin of the
Court OF Law and 8Chancery. in q far.
req ching decision. so held to-day.
The law requires even coasting schoon-
ers TO take pilot at Cape Henry. or to
pay the charges, whether she refuses to
take him or not. The same law applies
to vessels Of all other ella ses. The court
held that the law, in so FAR as it compels
vessels from other States to take pilots
at the eapes.s but exempts vessels sailing
between Virginia ports from taking pilots,
is unconstitutional. because the law ilIe-
galIyz discrimiEates IN favor Of Virginia
ports as against ports OF other States The
cases came up ON a demurrer to declara-
tons in suits brought by: tna Virginia
pilots for the recovery OF compulsory pr
lota ge. - 80
AS the decision slices the pilots income
in half. the ca Sc will. of course. be bitterly
who attacked the law. think they have
won great victory, as, under the dec1-
sion of the courts, captains. familiar with
Hampton Roads and the several harbors
contiguous thereto, can being their yes
sells by the Virginia Capes and into Nor
foil. or Newport News as thecass may be,
without pilot; while at present. they
have to pay compulsory pilotage fees.
whether they take a Nirsgdnia pilot at the
canes or not. In the cases decided to-day,
the plaintiff pilots sued for between SO
and sl00 fees-c aimed IN each Instance
where a schooner entered the capes. and
