COLUMBIA, 8. C. Dec. 88.—A move
ment wen Inaugurated In thla city to
day which In conceded to be of great
interest and Importance to the entire
country.
Permanent organisation os the In
land Waterways Association was per
fected and officers elected. Mr. W. A.
Clark, president of the Columbia cham
ber of commerce, acted as temporary
chairman. Rev. R M. Smith, paetor
of the First Presbyterian church, de
livered the invocation.
Permanent organisation was effected
by the election of J. H. Chadbourn of
tho Wilmington, N. C., chamber of
commerce ae president, and E. B.
Clark, of the Columbia chamber of
commerce as secretary.
Vice presidents were elected from
each state represented and the presi
dent was authorised to appoint a per
manent executive committee. Ar
rangements were made for holding an
nual meetings of the association at
such time and place as may be fixed
by the executive committee.
□•legates From Five States.
Delegates were present representing
the commercial organizations from five
states on the Atlantic seaboard, from
as far Houth as Baltimore, and also
congressional representatives from
several stales.
Congressman J, If. Rmnll, of the
First North Carolina district, who is
the father of tho movement, was
leading spirit in the convention and
addressed the body outlining the pro
Jact of Inland waterways. He said
among other things that transportation
was the essential factor in the devel
opment of commerce, nnd whatever
contributed to the cheapening of traf
fic rates was to b* commended nnd
was worthy of the support of the peo
ple snd of congress.
Ha referred to the movement In the
state of New York which had resulted
In the Issuance of bonds to the extent
of one hundred million dollars to be
expended In the re-locatlon and en
largement of tfie Erie canal, thereby
affording an Interior waterway con
necting the eastern end of the great
lakes with the Atlantic ocean via the
Hudson river.
A Orest Project Cited.
He cited the great project now In
contemplation and under survey by
the corps of engineers by which It is
proposed to connect the Western end
of the great lakes from the Interior
metropolis of Chicago with the Oulf
of Mexico by the Illinois and Missis
sippi rivers.
He then pointed out how for years
the different states along the Atlantic
seaboard from Maine to Florida had
advanced a continuous chain of inland
waterways for the promotion of our
coastwise trade and among others, re
ferred to the proposed canal across
Cape Cod which would give a protect
ed way from the city of Boston and
the Maine coast to New York via Long
Island sound, and also the proposal to
connect the Raritan river with ■ the
Delaware river by having the govern
ment purchase the present canal or
construct a canal by independent
route thereby affording safe naviga
tion from New York city to the Dela
ware river and Philadelphia; also the
construction of a waterway from the
Delaware river to the head of the
Cheseapeake bay, a route for which
hag already been surveyed and located
by the government, which would give
an entrance ln^o Cheseapeake bay and
the cities and territory tributary
thereto; also the project for a water
way connecting Chesapeake bay with
the ocean at Beaufort Inlet, North
Carolina, avoiding Cape Hatteras and
Cape Look Out, the most dangerous
menaces to navigation on the Atlantic
coast; also how nature had provided
an almost continuous protected route
from fceaufort harbor. North Caroling,
along the entire southern coast of Ker-
nsndina and Jacksonville. Fa.; also
how a canal had been projected acrosi
the peninsula of Florida, affording the
gulf cities the advantages of safe
navigation and avoiding the straits of
Florida.
Navigation Restricted.
He pointed out that coastwise navi
gation between the South Atlantic and
North Atlantic porta was seriously re
stricted by the dangers of Cape Hat
teras and Diamond Shoals on the
North Carolina coast, which prohibit
ed navigation by small steamers and
particularly hy barges.
It must be recognised, sajd he. that
the government will not undertake at
the same time the construction of. all
of these waterway* In the tidewater
states but that the most important
should be selected. If the projected
inland waterway connecting Chesa
peake bay with Beaufort Inlet, N. C.,
should be constructed both Cape Hat
teras and Cape Look Out would be
avoided and thus make possible the
Introduction of smalt vessels and
barges In the coastwise trade between
the North and the South.
The association, after full discussion,
adopted the project for a protected
waterway from Chesapeake bay to
Beaufort Inlet as the most Important
and the one which would be first
pressedi upon the attention of congress
snd the country.
The convention .adjourned subject
to the rail of the executive committee.
The visiting delegates were enter
tained during the evening by th Co
lumbia chamber of commerce at their

Patrolman Charged With Murder.
NEW YORK. Dee. IS.— Commitment
to Jail on a charge of murder In the
first degree, without hall. wn« the sur-
prise which greeted Fmnk JfcLaugh-
lln, a patrolman, when he m; wared In
criminal court today to plead to an In
dlctment charging him with ttaaaul
upon Jamea F. Robblna. a newspaper
reporter. The new charge wae based
upon an Indlotment which District At-
rtoney Jerome said would he returned
by the grand Jury tomorrow. Mr-
lauighlln was once before arrested In
connection with the killing of John W.
ratterson. a negro watchman. The
coroner’s Jury found that he shot !*at«
terson In self-defense and he was dis
charged. The district attorney was not
satisfied with that disposition of the
ease, however, and began an InvesUgm-
lion which, he says, has resulted In an
first degree. Mr. Jerome said the Kill-
Ing of Patterson was a deliberate tmtr-
Trsin Lest and Wrecked.

man. whereupon Mr. Craven dealt him a
violent blow on the nose, drawing blood
profusely. The magistrate. In sentencing

sault as most unjustifiable and most
blackguardly, for which a fine was quite

Cable Advices Regarding Conditions In
. WASHINGTON, Dec.’ 28.—Conditions
In Morocco apparently have entered on a
critical stage, according to cable advices
received at the state department today
from Hoffman Philip, the Acting American
consul-general at Tangier. After reciting
the indefinite postponement of the French
mlaxlon. the recalling of the mllitan* mis
sion. the French consul, and the warning
of all French aubjeots away from Fes,
Mr. Phillip added that the foreign min
sters. Including himself, were awaiting
Instructions.
Mr. Tierce, the third assistant secre
tary of state, promptly cabled Mr. Phillip
directing him. In tho event that serious
trouble should appear Imminent, to ad
vise American citizens In Morocco to
come ihto Tangier. The consul-general Is
directed to observe strict Impartiality and
to keep the department fully Informed.
Choate to Retire.
LONDON, Dec. 28.—While numerous
semi-official statements have been
published here that Ambassador
Choate is about to retire from diplo
matic life, It can be stated that Mr.
Choate has not sent his resignation
or any communication on the subject
to President Roosevelt or the state de
partment, nor has he received any in
quiry either from the president or
Secretary Hay concerning his future
plans. It can be safely asserted, how
ever, that It is Mr. Choate’s intention
to tender his resignation soon after
the Inauguration of President Roose
velt.
"Six years Is a long slice out of the
life of a man of my age." said Mr.
Choate recently to fiends here, “nnd
while I have enjoyed the life and the
people I have met In England. I have
determined to go home and devote the
remainder of my time to looking after

BERLIN. Dec. 28.—It Is believed
that the latest rumor regarding the

that something In this direction has

that France and Great Britain were

Court as at Prosont Constituted May
Be out of Date.
PHILADELPHIA. December 28.—
There will be no hearing of the
charges against Bishop Ethelbert Tal
bot. of the diocese of central Pennsyl
vania. by the court recently appointed
by Bishop Tuttle, Is the statement
made by churchmen who are well
posted In the canonical laws of the
Episcopal church. A complication has
developed which they aay will put a
atop effectually to the proceedings of
the court of inquiry as now consti
tuted.
The trouble comes from a recent
change In the canons of the church
regarding the appointment of a court
of that nature. In the Issue of the
“Church Standard” which will appear
tomorrow. Rev. Dr. John Fulton, the
editor, aaya in reference to the Irvine-
Tatbot cose that the presiding bishop
has constituted the board of inquiry
under a canon which waa superseded
by a new canon of the last general
convention. The new canon will come
Into operation on January 1, 1805. The
board of inquiry la called to meet on
January 10. and when It does meet
on that date. It will not be constituted
as the new canon requires. It will,
therefore, have no power to proceed
with the inquiry for which it Is called.

Wonderoua Ways of Ant*.
From the London Spectator.
Lteut.-Col. Sykes saw at Panama
ants carrying out grain to dry In the
sun. Dr. Llneecum In Texas found
anta who planted a certain seed-hear
ing grass, reaped It. and carried the
grain into their cells, where they
stripped It of chaff and packed It
away. The paper relating this was
read by Derwln before the Ltnnaean
Society. Another observer has told
us of ants which grow mushrooms.

From the London Spectator.
There Is one Illusion about Japan which
seems to survive evidence and to work
moat serious political mischief. The con-
tlnantal powers, and Russia more espe
cially cannot set rtd of the belief that
the Uland erwhre. however brave or as- '
tut** or lucky Its children may be. Is after
all but a "little" state, which In a very
short time must "bleed to death."
It is not very easy to trace th* orlirtn of
this belief, unless It be the habit of ex
pecting great size in all Asiatic empires,
or of comparing the area of Japan with
Yhat of Ru^«ia itself. So compared Japan
ls. of course, a little place, which looks
on the maps almost Insignificant. Com
pared, however. In a more sensible way
with the other Island empire, which has
so Ion* been one of the great powers of
the world. Japan Is by no means small.
