FREIGHT TO SOUND PORTS,
IL May BE LIshtcred From Seattle, Blu
No Benefit Results.

The Northern Pacific railroad has issued cir.
cuiar announcing that on and after April 30
freight consigned to other ports on the Sound,
which have no railroads, but to which It has
been lightered, can be shipped BY way Of Seattle
or Tacoma, and win be subject TO terminal rates,
plus an arbitrary rate OF 5 cents per hundred
weight on carloads and 10 cents on less than car
loadA Heretofore all notices in regard TO such
freight have read that 1t must be billed and
transferred at Tacoma, that city thus getting the
benefit of the steamer business from there to the
port OF destination, to which the trsnscontin-
entail tariff carried II without extra charge.
Hereafter this city viii be ON equal terms in re-
gard to such business.
In regard to this matter, General Agent Nadeau
said yesterday:
'As the Northern Pacific has been prevented
from laying track TO or on the Yesler wharf, do
not zee how Seattle can get the benefit of this
change, for there will be Q transfer charge be-
tween the car and the wharf. In Tacoma the
cars run directly on the wharf and the freight il
transferred from them to the steamers. If the
city would let as build tracks TO our wharf
these transfer charges would be avoided"

Payment Of Freight.
Captain Crowel, of the steamer Cascade, took
. novel method yesterday OF inducing circus
outfit, which had chartered the boat, to pay for
their transportation as they go along. The
manager of the circus chartered the boat in
Tacoma about week ago to carry the outfit
from port to port ON the Sound Yesterday
Captain Croweil thought 1t about time that
some money should be received f.. the service
20 Tar rendered, a. nothing had previously been
paid. Tho manager Of the circus said he did
not have the money; but he was told he must
pay up before he would be permitted to unload
his baggage The boat landed at the Merchants
wharf to give him chance to get the money.
This he failed to do, and lest any attempt
should be made to take the outfit by force, the
boat was pulled over to the buoy and tied there;
30 there was no alternative for the circus people
but to pay up Last evening she was still at the
buoy.
