Our Wilmington people think they
have Il hard time because of the delay
i'll delivering of freight after the ears
reach the local yards; but it is not as
bad as in Charlotte. We see from The
Chronicle that traffic is so congastei
there that hacks go a mile or more out
from the city TO meet the trains and
bring passengers III, the latter say in-
time by this means, the railway ter
minals are 50 crowded. From one end
Of the country TO the other the cry i
that the railways are not able 10 nan
die the freight and passengers on their
lines. We have not heard Of anything
quite as bad anywhere else As The
conditions in Charlotte We thought
all the roads could get rid OF their
passengers when they reached their

with q ship load of immigrants She
is due to reach that port about Feb

cannot have something Of the sort
done for our state We need that
class of immigrants as much as any
state in the union; still we cannot get
them because our public officials and

inaugurate such an enterprise We

COJRT-MARTIAL OF ADMIRAL NE

demned to death by the cOurt-lnartial
which tried them for their conduct IN
the naval battle Of the sea Of japan.
The Russians were Out-classad IN
every way by the japanese in that
battle. The officials know that, but
they must make a scape goat Of some
of the minor officers OF the nav de-
partnent, so the admiral and a number
Of the men under him are saddled with
the responsibility Of the disaster,
when all the world knows that the
government was to blame for it's navy
not being able to cope with the enemy.
1t is we'll that the court, while sen
fencing those naval officers to death.
should recommend to the czar that
their punishment be changed to term
of years. 1t would be a disgrace to
civilization were the Russian govern
ment allowed to take the lives Of those
men. We do not believe the powers
would allow it to be done should the
Russian government insist on carry
ing into effect the Judgment of the
court 1t is Il shame that the men
should be sent to prison for term Of
