Indirectly the Cause of the Chinese
Minister'S Recall.
WASHINGTON, Aug. lin diplomatic
circles the conversation still turns upon
the report that Chinese Minister Tsui
Kwo Yin will be succeeded in October by
Mr.. Shut, who was formerly Secretary of
the Legation at Washington. At the
Chinese Legation denial is made of the
story to the effect that the Minister will
be relieved because of his alleged impli-
cation in Count Mitkiewicz international
banking scheme. 1t is said that the
former Secretary, Shut, who was called
from his post here to occupy an important
position in the Chinese Home Govern
ment, knew of certain transactions of
Count Mitlziewicz and Chinese Minister
Tsui, and there was a GOODNESS between
these two Chinese officials. Thus it is be-
lieYed that Shut has been instrumental in
securing Minister Esui's dismissal. The
present Minister is credited with having
poisoned the Emperor's mind against ex-
Senator Blair, who was appointed Min
lister to China, but rejected by the Chinese
Empire. 1t is now said that Senator
Blair and his friends are reaping their re-
venge on Minister Tsui by having Mr..
Shut expose the latters dealings with
MetkieWicz.

NoRTH-BoUND FREIGHTS.
In conversation which the Post repre-

rected an erroneous statement recently
circulated to the effect that the late re-
duction made by the Southern Pacific on
north-bound freights had been rendered
necessary by the fear that the Great
Northern Railway might soon inaugurate
an effective opposition.
1.-The Great Northern has no more to
do with it than that street car line out
there" said Mr.. Sproul. 1.-THE fact of
the matter was that the Union Pacific re-
duced its rates to Portland, and our peo-
pie made corresponding change in or
der to preserve the differentials. so to
speak, as far as possible. To be more
specific, the Southern Pacific desires to
preserve to San Francisco merchants the
same advantages heretofore enjoyed as
compared with Portland and its business
men. The reductions made the Union
Pacific on overland freights would have
placed San Francisco importers and
shippers at a disadvantage as compared
with those of Portland, but for the CORE
spending reduction between this city and
northern points made by the Southern
Pacific. That is all there is in that"
