To Suppress slave Trading.

SYDNEY, Nov. 6.-The slave trade be-
tween Queensland and several of the
Polynesian groups has been increased
during the past year, and it is said that
the new Australian squadron, which re-
Gently arrived in those waters, will be
partly utilized to put down the trade in
question. The planters of Queensland
claim that Polynesian labor is a neces-
sity in that region, white being scarce
and the native blacks utterly worthless.

Have You Thought Of Ite

The following letter appears in this
week s issue of the Klickitat Leader:
BRoTHFR FARMERss-Can we afford to
lose the Regulator, the only opposition
boat on the river? Have you thought of
the matter as it is? What did it cost
you other years to ship your grain to
market? The U. p. Co. charged about
eleven cents per bushel to carry it. The
Regulator reduced the rates to abou It six
cents per bushel, thereby putting thous-
ands of dollars in the pockets of the
farmers of Klickitat and Wasco counties.
Now is it right to thus betray our best
friend in such time of need? Is it
right to patronize the old company,
thereby helping to drive the new boat
from the river? Have you thought of
the consequences you are bringing upon
yourselves by so doing, are you anxious
to see the only opposition boat taken
from you? If so, keep on taking your
wheat to Moody (the only buyer who has
special rates}, carrying grain to market
on the old company's boat.
The truth of the matter is the U. P.
company made up their minds to run off
the new boat, and they knew we'll how to
do it. They only have to throw bait to
suckers to get them to bite. They have
employed Moody to fish for suckers, and
oh how they are biting; Moody's catch
this year will be enormous; but when
the Regulator is taken off Moody will be
ready TO quit fishing for suckers. Have
you thought why Moody can afford to
pay more for grain than other buyers? As
| said before, he has special rotes or in
other words the U. P. company's boat
carries his grain for nothing. So it is
plain to see that if the farmers do not
stand together and patronize the new
boat, even at a small sacrifice to them
selves, the Regulator will be compelled
to tie up and then the suckers will wish
they had not bit. FARMER.

THIRTEEN STRAIGHT.
An Exciting Boat Race On the
River Thames.
Cornell Comes in First and
Breaks the Record
A Poor Showing Made by the
Columbia Crew.

NEW LONDON, Conn. June 2j.-One
of the most exciting races eyer roWed on
the Thames river took tlace thus after
noon oyer the three mile course, between
the Cornell, university of Pennsylvania
and Columbia university e~ight-oared
crews. Cornell won. after a hard contest.
in the fast time of I4:27!. The university
of Pennsylvania was second by four
lengths; time, I4:44. Columbia was a
bal third, being five lengths behind the
Pennsylvania crew and eighth lengths be-
hind Cornell. Cornelrs time establishes
a new record, the previous best time being
l4:43 over the same course last year. The
surprise OF the day was the unexpected
poor showing made by the Columbia
crew. The feature was the remarkably
close race between Cornell aud Pennsyi-
vanIa, cash OF the crews holding the lead
at times before the fist mile had been
rowed, and for two miles it was impossible
to name the winner.
The conditions for fast time we're excel
lent. The water was smooth, a strong
current was running aud the wind also as
sisted. Pennsylvania got the best of the
start aud their boat jumped a few feet to
the front, with Cornell second. while Col

seemed to lose at every stroke. In the
hrst ten or twelve strokes CJrnell's boat
shot up even with Pennsylvania For an
eighth OF a mile they were so close that
the lead could not be fairly credited to
either crew. Nearing the halt mile flag
Pennsylvanla forged nearly half a length
ahead Of Cornell, with Columbia two
lengths behind, and hupelessIy out OF the
race. About three-qutfters OF a mile
from the start Penusy lvania increased
their lead to nearly a length.
Cornell here made a grand spur and
crept up alongside Of Pennsylvania, and
as the boats neared the mile flag we're on
even terms with Pennsylvania. From the
one mile to the two mile flag the race be
tween Cornell and Pennsylvania was most
exciting. 1t was the decisive point OF the
race. The Cornells worked like beavers
to obtain an advantage and the Pennsyl-
vanIas worked fully as hart to save them
selves from defeat. At the two mile flag
Cornell showed clear of Pennsylvania 5
how with Columbia fvo lvugths behind
Pennsylvania. Pennsylvania made an
other effort to regain the lead aud sue
ceeded in tapping CornelIs bow, but the
effort was two much, and the Cornell
men, responding 10 the final call, Int their
strokes up to forty-one and ran away from
Pennsylvania, finishing a strong winner.
with Columbia at the rear Of the process
sion. Cornell has now won thirteen
straight races.

CHICAGO. June 25.--The disputes be.
tween Chairman Finley of the Western
Passenger Association and the Chicago &
Alton railroad eliminated today in a rul-

cation. The Alton, some time ago. re-
duccd the st. Louis rate to meet secret
cuts. After some consideration Finley or
dered all lines to restore rates, but the
Alton, asserting that others were not act
ingi in good faith. refused and Finley fined
the company $500, which they declined ! Q
pay. Then the Alton asked aut
reduce the rate to st. Louis. Kansas
and Denver to meet secret cutting. Fin
ley today in a ruling declined, and said
the Alton, by its past conduct, virtually
forfeited all right to protection. This virtu
ally reads the Alton out of the association
Many railroad men are of the opinion that
Finley exceeded his authority. The AL
ton will now act independent of the asso-
citation. Legal notice will be gwen to-
morrow OF its intention To reduce the rate
between Chicago and Denver from $50. G5
to S2j, chicago and Kansas City. Sl2 50
to $40; Chicago and st. LOUIS, 81. so to Sc.
Quite "a censatinn was caused today by
