Bill Passed Both Senate and House
Yesterday Repeating All Compulsory
Relating to PilOtage at This Port.
\. Victory for the Business Men.

All the Wilmington business men VINO
went to Raleigh to appear before the
judiciary committee in behalf of the
pilotage bill, returned home last night
except Iredell Meares, Esq. Every
member of the delegation is highly e!a--
ed over the inal result. Both the Ell
ate n house yesterday morning tef-
all pilotage laws relating to this port.
Wilmington is now open to the world
and is the only port on the Atlantic
coast south of Maine that has abso-
lutely no pilotage laws.
1t lis said thar the pilots claim that
it means a victory for them, but it is
hard to see o they reach this oonclu-
sion. The business men did not enter
into the agreement abolishlng compul-
sorry pilotage without knowing what
course they would pursue
There has been some talk Of the az
fects; hat the pilots can now charge
whatever rate they wish, but this The
business men will not stand nor will
they stand for exhorbitant towage
rates The Tow Boat Company is own
ed by men who are pilots and some
seem to think that they will charge ex-
hoItbitant rates. This phase of the sit
uation has already been discussed by
the business men with the understand
ing that if the tugs charge excessive
rates that tugs will be brought here and
put in competition with the tugs own
ed by the pilots. The business men
have already received a proposition
from the owner Of a tug and are on
sidering it.
Mr.. j. Allen Taylor, who is president
Of the chamber of commerce, stated last
night that the result of the fight was
highly satisfactory but that nothing
detinie would be given out before Mon
day, as to their plans.
The chamber of m will prOba-
bly, issue a license to a certain num-
Der of pilots 70 that incoming vessels
taking a pilot may know if he is COM
potent. Several captains who are
here On ~Schooners now taking on car
goes were interviewed yesterday in re-
gard to the abolishing Of compulsory
pilotage. They said if the business men
saw that tugs were at the bar to meet
vessels that it would be a fine thing
for Wilmington. They stated that
where vessels came in with rugs mat
there was absolutely no need Of a pilot
so that what the business men would
nave to loo out for more than pilots
would be tugs. The only class of YES
sells coming here that require the SER
vices of a pilot are the steamships
which come here principal yfor cotton.
The outlook that now faces Whining
ton Is brighter than ever before from
a. comercial Standpoint and there is no
reason why Wilmington should not be-
come a port of entry for the state. The
business men are going to see tina. all
vessels coming to this port receive frs
class service. If it he a steamship a
competent pilot and if it Dc a sailing
vessel q tug.

number of matters will be called to the
attention of the department officials
while the delegation is in Washington.
