It is reported that the new steamship of the volunteer fleet "Eagle" was expected to Odessa from New Castle, but according to information received there, its arrival was delayed by the following unpleasant and unexpected circumstance. Upon leaving the harbor, the Eagle, with normal thrust in the furnaces of the machine, developed a steam pressure of 145 pounds and went only 16-17 knots. An order was made to close the hatches of the steamer and other open places on the steamer, which was carried out; after that, a strong draft really formed, but the smokestacks could not stand it. Glowing red at the base, they fell onto one of the sides due to gravity. After their fall, the boats and neighboring cabins caught fire. Thus, the Eagle, having failed to develop the required amount of steam pressure, was forced to return to the harbor at a slow pace for the 19 knots negotiated under the contract, where it is believed that it will stay for more than a month (for pipe alterations, etc.) and will arrive in Odessa no earlier than April.

The Ministry of Railways, in agreement with the relevant departments, has prepared a draft for a new facility for all commercial ports in Russia. The main basis of the project is that all ports are supposed to be divided into three categories, and ports of the first category will be subordinated to ports of the second and third categories. The commercial ports will be headed by the so-called captains over the ports, who will be appointed by officers of the fleet and the corps of navigators. Then his assistants, port technicians and ship engineers, and guards will be directly subordinate to the captain over the port. Medical centers with an appropriate staff of doctors and paramedics are established in all ports of the first and second categories. Special police teams are established within the port to protect general order, peace and quiet and prevent crimes.

Thanks to the petition of the Kavkaz and Mercury society by A. D. Kolokoltsev, all the commanders of the steamships, their assistants, mechanics, etc. They will receive a certain percentage of the profits from each navigation. The commanders of bulk carriers, in addition to the maintenance they receive, are supposed to be given another 30 rubles from each voyage they make, which will be from 500 to 1,200 rubles per year. Noting such useful touches in Mr. Kolokoltsev's activities, we draw attention to the excessively high fees that exist in the company he manages for passengers on steamships. For travel from Baku to Astrakhan, passengers of the first class pay 25 rubles, II — 19, III — 7 rubles and 70 kopecks, while the Swan shipping company charges passengers of the second class 11 rubles and 50 kopecks and III — 4 rubles and 50 kopecks for the same distance, which makes a huge difference, especially for a worker. people, who mainly provide a contingent of deck passengers.
