One Way Out of Their Trouble.

The shippers of California are thought to

BY some Californians it is proposed to cut Down
maximum rates for passenger service to three
cents per mile, and to reduce freight charges to
two cents per ton per mile. These reductions
are opposed by the Merchant, and it is pointed
out that certain railways would be irretrievably
ruined II they were carried into effect. Even
with rate of ten cents per mile the Cofax &
Grass Valley is unable, in its most profitable
year. to pay its stockholders more than two per
cent, and a portion of the North Pacific Coast
road can hardly meet working expenses 1t
would in the judgment of the Merchant. "be
measure of Injustice and spoliation. and not a
wise reform, to make a railroad, built through a
mountainous country, with sharp curves and
grades running in some cases as high as 100 feet
and over to the mile. and whose total earnin ga
are less than S2,0 a mile, carry passengers as
'Cheaply a straight, level road, whose avera ge
annual earnings are six, ten, or fifteen thousand

Bills of Lading Weights Subject to Correc-

At meeting of the standing committee of the

the commissioner, 346 Broadway. New York.
the following resolution was adopted:
"Whereas, 1t appears that some of the lines
have issued bills Of lading at Western points for
east-bound shipments of lumber, with the words
actual weight Inserted therein, it is
Resolved That such practice shall be discOn-
tinued, and that the weight inserted on all bills
OF lading shall be stated as subject TO eorrec
ton"
Agents of fastfreight lines at this point were
yesterday instructed TO note and be governed by
tho above circular. For some months past
similar order has been N effect with the fast
freight lines which operate over the Bee-line,
Lake Shore, New York Contra, and Boston &
Albany, and 1t has been the cause Uf much com
plant, the returns of the Yankee voigh-mas-
Ter often did not correspond with those of weigh
masters in the West, who were very careful to
see that the property was llled at correct
weight Now that the order is made unanimous
possibly any croOkedness as regards weighing at
Eastern termini will be looked after.
