A BIG TUMBLE IN FRHGT RATES
Salmon Shippers Enabled TO Meet Sun
set Competition.
EASTERN LINES ARE ACTIVE
The Union Pacific Not In It-That
Company Unable to Make tho
Connection.
EASTERN LINES ARE ACTIVE

Ever since the opening of the can.
ming industry the packers have been
importunate in their demands upon
the direct transcontinenta roads for
favorable rates, but only now has the
situation been recognized. Within the
past few days great change has ta-
ken place, and today the Gamers are in
position to meet all competition di-
rect An Astorian reporter yesterday
CLEANED the following facts from one
of the Gamers in reference to salmon
shipments to the far east:
The Northern Pacific Railroad, with
its usual progressiveness and care for
the interests of its patrons, has sue
ceeded in putting in force very low
schedule of rates on salmon by direct
line to New York and all eastern
points, as against steamer via San
Francisco and the Sunset route, which
latter route made rate Of 6S cents to
New York, exclusive of insurance, cart
age and transfer expenses. The tramp
steamers Of the Detrick line, on top Of
these low rates, put in force rate of
81 per ton from Astoria to San Fran
cisco, as against $3.50 by the Union Pa
cific, thus making the through rate to
New York 60 cents, exclusive of in
surance, etc., or about II 1-2 cents in
cluding insurance, carriage, transfer,
and extra damage, while the rates es-
tablished by the Northern Pacific via
Duluth and the wide-awake Anchor
Line pennsylvania Co.. and Western
Transit Co. by Lake Superior to Buffa-
10, make the figures to New York rs
cents, with corresponding rates to other
Atlantic seaboard points. All rail rates
via both the Northern and Union Paci-
fic to all Atlantic seaboard points via
the Empire line, pennsylvania Co.,
the pioneer Of fast service and low
rates, have been established at S5
cents.
In the face of the above facts it is
clear that Astoria packers are going
to get a fair show and the best SER
vice.
About one hundred carloads of salm-
on have already been engaged at the
new figures.

In the account of the county court
proceedings yesterday, there was a
slight ambiguity in reference to the
matter of allowances to the poor The
reasons for the action of the court lay
in the fact that several parties re-
ceiving aid from the county had been
ordering hxuries instead of necessities,
and it was decided that in future the
purchase of supplies for needy persons
should be closely watched.

TAKING THEIR time.
Transportation Com mpanles Act
ing In Bad Faith.
They Fall to Fill Their Contracts for
Moving Worlds Fair Goods on
Which Charges Have Been Paid.

By the Associated Press.
WASHINGTON, Dec. 26.-Information
has reached the treasury department
from the appraiser of merchandise at
the port of Chicago that the transporta.
tation companies have failed to take
away rapidly that portion of the mer-
chandise at the worlds fair intended
for expectation, consequently there are
now at least 10000 packages lying in the
building which cannot be removed by
the 31st of December. The collector
accordingly asked the time to he ex-
tended for holding buildings as con.
structive bonded warehou ses and the
exposition officials have agreed to
provide suitable police supervision for
the customs interests during the period
which customs control shall be main
tanned.
In consideration OF the facts the treas
ury department has instructed the COL
lector to continue in control of the
goods referred to until further instruc-
tions are given him. 1t is said this
condition of things is the result of bad
faith on the part of the railroad COM
panies which promised to return the
goods to the seaboard free if railroad
charges were paid one way. Now that
the fair is over they are Indifferent to
the matter and are using their own
convenience and giving other freight
the preference.

ceivers have decided to make use of the
injunction issued by Judge jenkins,
which they hope will enable them to
operate the road Immediately with new
men. The legal document now in the
hands Of the receivers comprises nearly
10, 900 words. Injunctional orders will
be served tonight and tomorrow on all
leaders of the Northern Pacific railroad
employees by United States marshals of
the districts through which the North
ern Pacific passes.
Among those enjoined from striking
or ordering strikes the petition of the
receivers mentions the names of thirty
two men who have been in conference
with the receivers and asks they be
enjoinsd from ordering q strike. which
the court grants. The petitioners say
the employees cannot carry on strike
without the pecuniary assistance OF the
different national organizations to
which they belong. They therefore
pray thai these organizations through
their chief officers, such as P. M.
Arthur, E. G. Clark, 4. P. Sargent, D.
G.. Ramsay, 8. E. Wilkinson and
others. be enjoined from ordering and
sanctioning strike. The court grants
this and these men are included in the

WASHINGTON, Dec. 2.-Minister Men
donca believes crisis in the Brazilian
revolution 10 ut hand, and that decis-
i've stroke will be made this week. He
says two great ironclads under the rebel
commander, Hello. and the fotilla of
torpedo craft hastily improvised by
Peixoto are rapidly nearing each other.
The minister says that a collision is al
most certain before next Monday. He
recognizes that the little dynamite and
torpedo boats are tremendously over
matched by the rebel ships but he
counts much on the ability of the small
boats to maneuvsr quickly and discharge
their novel explosives.
Mendoza is hopeful and confident that
Mello's fleet will be defeated and Pei
oxtos ships will then be able to turn
their attention to the other rebel ad-
miral, Cana, who is in Rio harbor.
