PACIFIC COAST INTERESTS.
Only One California Congressman Votes on
an Anti-RailrOad Amendment.

WASHINGTON, March 21.-There was an
interesting debate In the House to-day dur
ing the consideration Of the army appropri-
atoms bill. In the bill as reported was
provso that no money should be paid the
Southern Pacific Railroad for transporting
United States troops or supplies over nom
aided roads belonging to that corporation.
Grain Of Texas made point of order
against this proyiSo and was sustained by
the Speaker, the principal ground being
that the proviso made a permanent law,
while the House should not seek to restrict
the appropriations of Congress in the future.
Geary o! California asked if ii was not true
that the railroad had stated its inability to
pay the debt it owed the United States.
Grain replied that such a question was
not pertinent at this time.
Cultivate Of Ohio then offered an amend
ment making the same prOvisO as above,
but applicable to the present bill only. The
question was put aud Geary was the only
one Of tile California delegation who voted
tor the amendment. The other five Cali
fornianS remained in their seats when their
names were called.

A PROSPECTIVE CHANGE.
Rumored Retirement of the Manager of
the Brewery Syndicate

Rumored Retirement of the Manager of
the Brewery Syndicate
Robert Milburn, the president of the San
Francisco Breweres, Limited. was busily
engaged yesterday at the office of the COM
pany, conducting an examination into its
affairs in company with the manager. 1t
will take several days work to thoroughly
review the business operations OF the con-
cern aud inspect the diverse interests loca-
ted In the local breweries. Until this task
is completed Mr.. Mlburn will reserve a
declaration of his intentions.
The president stated that he intended to
make no radical changes in the management
unless there should appear good reason for
such step. 1t is freely said. however, and
generally believed, that C. Il. Stone, the
present manager, will be retired and that
his successor has already been selected.
Mr.. Stone took charge OK the consolidated
interests upon tie retirement Of Colonel
h. A. Denicke. the former manager, last
October. Stone had been a member Of the
local directorate, composed of San Frau
cisco business men, owning no stock In the
syndicate. but receiving salary TO exercise
a superylsoral direction of its affairs. He
had no knowledge of the brewing industry,
any many local Observation-Disclosures prophe-
sled at the time of his appointment that the
management Of the business would prove
greater than his capability. IL is said that
his administration has neither reduced the
expenses of the syndicate nor increased its
profits. and that he will be succeeded as
manager by a practical brewer.

TROUBLE WITH TRAINMEN.
Serious Aspect Of the Strike on the Canadian

WINNIPEG. March 21.-The Canadian Pa
chic strike has assumed a serious aspect
Conductors and trainmen on the Pacific dt-
vision, from Donald to Vancouver, were
called out to-day, and dispatches from Rat
Portage tell of serious disturbances. Sew
eral trains were cut into sections by strfk-
ers at different times to-day, and officials en-
gagged in trying to move trains experienced
much trouble.
NEW WESTMINSTER, B. c., March 21-
Every trainman between Vancouver and
Fort Arthur went on strike at midnight
last night and the outlook for an early se.-
tlement OF the trouble between the trainmen
and the Canadian Pacific Railway COMPANY
is not so bright as it was few DAYS ago.
At conference between trainmen and Off
Gals OF the company on Wednesday last
an arrangement was reached whereby the
discharged men should be reinstated and all
the trainmeu return to work pending a set
tlement of the strike on the western divi-
sion, when the trainmen on the Pacific divi-
sion should be given the same wages as
were arranged Tor the western division, and
certain percentage in addition. This was
considered satisfactory by the men, and
negotiations were continued on Thursday
and Friday. When on the point of settle
ment they were brought to an abrupt ter
mlnatl0n. The company, while negotiating
with the men at this end of the line, con-
tinued pressing the men on the up-country
sections to assert their LOYALTY to the COM
pany by signing an agreement to keep ont
OF any combination or strike which might
be promoted. This practically meant the
withdrawal from the brotherhood of such
men as signed, and one of the officers Of the
brotherhood who were conducting negota-
tiations with Superintendent Abbott sent
the latter gentleman letter on Saturday
announcing their withdrawal from further
meeting with the company for the present
or until such time as the company receded
from the position it had taken in the matter.
Inc company remaining firm in the stand it
mad assumed, general strike was ordered
yesterday. to begin this morning, and it
went into effect as arranged.

SAN DIEGO. March 21.-The Transconti-
mental Freight Association convened at
Hotel del Coronado this morning, but the
session being purely executive the public
was not admitted, and no information
as to the nature of the proceed
ings was given out. In the after
noon, however, E. L. Goodsel. well-known
New York and London dealer in California
fruit. who has been spending the winter in
this city, sent message to the association
requesting the privilege of addressing the
association on the question of overland rates
on fruit. A resolution was passed suspend
ing the rules ana Dir. Goodsell was Invited
to speak. He made very strong appeal in
behalf of the fruit interests of California,
and produced visible impression on the
members of the association. The basis of
his appeal was that the railroads
should encourage the fruit interests of
the State as matter of policy and business
both for the roads and for the State. Fruit
growers need encouragement. The crops
were not satisfactory last year and the
prices were low.
hrSt faster service for the transportation
OF fruit to the East. and second, S125 rate
10 New 0rs. with pro rata schedule to
Chlcago. The present rate Is $3.50 for fast
service on passenger trains and $3.50
on freight trains. Mr.. Goodsell main
tanned that a rate Of S125 should be
granted on fast service through to New
York. Fast service is essential, as it is alb
solutely necessary to get the fruit to market
in first-class condition. With 13-day serv-
ice the fruit arrives in Eastern mar
kets in such n condition that decay
quickly sets in. Mr.. GOodsell said that the
cost OF marketing the fruit was reduced to
about the lowest possible basis. except as to
relief that could be given by the railroads,
and the only recourse left producers now is
TO obtain concessions from the Trunk lines
MIR. GoOdsell was subjected to severe
questioning by the members of the associa-
ton but was prepared to answer every point
raised, and it was evident that the asso-
citation was very much impressed with
the force of his appeal and arguments for
the absolute necessity Of making material
concessions to producers if the fruit indus
try Is to prosper.
