REDUCTION OF RATES
Governor Ferry Confers With
President Oakes of the
Northern Pacific
The Railroad Magnate States
That the Tariff Will be
Reduced
The Reported Calling OF an
Extra Session Without
Foundation

OLYMPIA. June ls-Governor FerrY's
conference yesterday with President
Oakes Of the Northern Pacific regarding
the reduction of wheat rates from Eastern
Washington was brief, the railroad mag
nate.spending but forty y-fivemlnutes In the
capital city. 1t, however, resulted In q
statement from Mr.. Oakes that an adjust
ment of reduced rates would be made In
a few days. He could not, however, in
form Governor Ferry what these rates
would be, as the rate sheets were still un-
der consideration by the Union Pacific
officials, who would naturally have to
make their rates from Eastern Washing
ton to tide water conform with those pre-
pared by the Northern Pacific. He, how
ever, informed the governor that the re-
duction would not be as great as asked
for in the Wasson bill.
Regarding the possible discrimination
against the Waila Walia country In
favor of Whitman, Lincoln and Spokane
counties, Mr.. Oakes left the impression
that the story current that such dis
elimination would be made was without
foundation. The governor strongly urged
the necessity OF the promised reduction
going into effect Immediately.
Speaking this morning of the assurance
of lower freight rates given him yester-
day by Mr.. Oakes, Cover Ferry said: 'Ii
the land question can be as satisfactorily
disposed Of as has been the question OF
| freights, there will be no necessity to call
together the legislature. have not re-
ceived, as yet, the rules relating to the
selection of granted lands by the new
states, and until do, | can arrive at no
positive decision regarding the matter
| The statement, therefore, that | have ar
rived at conclusion regarding the call
ing of an extra session Is premature, to
| say the least Of it.n

Twenty-three People Killed and I'm
mense Damage Done

CITY OF MEXICO, June ls-A cloudburst
killed at least twenty-three people and
many mules, besides doing great damage
TO property at the Conception mine in
San Luis Potosi, yesterday. The mine
was working full blast at the time, and
there was no indication of the impending
disaster, early In the morning As the day
advanced, however, heavy clouds began
TO bank up in the south, and shortly be-
fore noon 1t began to blow and rain.
Then it looked as If the floodgates of
the heavens had been unloosed.
The water came in almost solid mass,
aud when the clouds had passed away 1t
was found that many houses had been
washed away. The mountain streams
were raging torrents, the mines were
flooded so that they could not be worked,
and the men and mules were swept away
by the deluge. The latest kilograms place
the mum Der of bodies recovered at twenty
three, so far. Thirty more persons are
known to have been hurt. Work at the
Conception mine Is entirely suspended.

THE ALASKAN RAILROAD
Charles Francis Adams Believes 1t
VIII Be Built

CINCINNATI, June ls-Hon. Charles
Francis Adams, OF Boston, eX-presldent
of the Union Pacific has written letter
to L. II. Wells, the Alaskan explorer, con-
cerning the latter's published scheme for
building a railway FOR Alaska. Mr..
Adams says:
when / was last In the Dominion aud
also in Alaska, IL seemed to be not impos-
sible the time might come when railroad
would be needed, and would be remuner-
ated for. from Winnipeg northwesterly
into the mining country of Alaska; but
was equally persuaded of the fact that
this time had not come; neither do ! be-
lieye 1t will come within the next ten or
fifteen years"
This significant letter is construed as a
conservative admission from Adams that
the Alaska railway may actually be bntlt
within the next twenty years, thus form
ing link OF the chain that Is TO connect
the Cars Siberian railways with Amer
lean.
