PHILIPPINE SHIPPING.
Bill Again Considered I'm the Senate
District Appropriation Bill in the
House

Washington, March 1.-The bill FOR
the regulation of Philippine shipping
was again the principal SUBJECT of con-
sideration by the senate today. It was
made the subject of a somewhat gener-
al discussion of the Philippine question,
and was amended so as to defer for a
year the time when the bill shall take
effect. At Mr.. Mallory's suggestion the
bill was so amended as to accept sup
plies for the army and navy so as to
prevent conflict with the bill regulating
the shipment Of government supplies,
which was passed yesterday.
During the debate it was stated that
Secretary Taft had expressed a willing
ness that h proposed law should be
enacted, in case the tariff on Philippine
products was reduced.
Mr.. Patterson accepted the suggestion
of a revision Of the Philippine tariff rs
"a threat OF another raid on sugar AID
tobacco" and said the friends Of the
sugar and industries would re-
sist effort OF that kline by all legiti-
mate parliamentary tactics.
Mr.. Carmack commended that there
had been no adequate returns for the
$500, 600, 600 spent by the United States
on the Philippines. which he pronounced
"the most worthless possession that
ever rotted under a tropical sun" He
predicted that in time the Stands would
have to be paid for. not only in treas-
ure. but in blood"
Consideration OF the bill had not been
concluded when the Senate adjourned
until tomorrow.
THE HOUSE.
Washington, March 1.-The House de-
voted the entire day to considera ton
Of the District of Columbia appropria-
ton bill. but did not conclude action
on the measure. The House in commit
tee Of the whole amended the bill by
unanimous vote SO as 10 fix the maxi
mum rates which may be charged the
District of Columbia for telephone ser
vice or for telephones in private resi-
dences at from s25 to $50 per annum.
The amendment was proposed by Mr.
Ra-lett of Georgia.

tary. Messrs. John D. Bellamy, Jr..
and J.. v. Granger, the committee on
proxies, reported 49, shares of stock
represented.
The ANNUAL report of the president.
Mr.. J. w. Norwood, showed how pros
porous the bank had been during the
past year. During the past year 49,
157. APO was loaned n of this amount
there was no loss and the paper aoW
held was reported by h president TO
be absolutely good. The new accounts
opened during the year were. 1,549, the
largest number ever opened during
any one year. Interest collected dur
S67. 81, and the interest. paid to de-
p~ositors, $32, 653.9S leaving a net profit
to the stockholders Of $40, 214.43. Dur
ing the year the bank paid Ii per cent
in dividends on capital stock amount
ing to s. .25O and the balance or the

president; H. Walters. vice president;
C E. Taylor, Jr.. cashier.
The stockholders expressed them
selves as being well pleased with the
progress of the bank and they have
cause to be well pleased for there is no
bank stock in North Carolina which
sells as high as hat Of the Whining
ton Savings and Trust Company. AZ
the present time the stock is worth
$500 per share. 1t is rather an unusual
thing to see a bank with a capital of
only $25, 1000, have a surplus Of over
500 but such is the case in this
instance.
This bank now oes a very large
business but no money is loaned on
bad or doubtful paper and the conse-
quences is the bank cannot help being
in a prosperous condition.

THE SEABOARD SERVICE.
the Matter at Meeting This After
noon.

There will be a general meeting Of
the chamber of commerce this after
noon at $3.50 o'clock for the purpose of
discussing the Seaboard Air Line SER
vice. Every effort has been made to
get the Seaboard to give Wilmington
better service but to no avail and now
since mild means ave failed to have
the desired effect the Chamber of
Commerce. backed by the citizens Of
Wilmington, will resort to more siren
uouS methods.
The demands made by the Chamber
of Commerce were very reasonable and
should have at least been recognized
in part if not in toto. The citizens of
Wilmington have determined that the
Seaboard shall give better service IL
it is in h power of the corporation
commission to compel them to do SO.
