WAITING ON THE GOVERNOR.

The fight for the nbolition OF the
double quarantine system at this port

Beginning June vessels arriving
from domestic ports will not be sub
lect to inspection by the State oint
GERS, Governor Mann having changed
the regulations for this port to con
form to the amendment adopted for
Norfolk by the Elizabeth river COM
missioneus. But the worst feature
of the unnecessary State service. the
inspection of ships arriving from for
eign ports within an hour or so nfter
their inspection by the federal Off
Ger at Old Point. is yet to be clint
mated. The Chamber of Commerce oi
this city, backed by the shipping IN
terests ard public sentiment, has APP
pealed TO the governor to relieve thfs
port entirely from the useless State
inspection, and We trust that 1t Will
not be very long before he grants the
request:

vigor in the matter and wipe out the

never was a CLEARER case of the pub

The governor declared his Intention
of putting Newport News on an equal
footing with Norfolk without hesita-
tion. He decided to give some thought
10 the subject before going further.

conclusion to the contrary this paper
