Capt Morrison yesterday. As yet they have not
succeeded in getting the strong hold OF her
that they would like.
Yesterday graphing hooks got hold of the
sunkeu boat, aud a part of her was brought up,
this being the house, smokestack and small
boat The effect of the great pressure existing
at the bottom is shown by the fact that the
wood pulled of the Mystic's house would not
float when brought to the surface. The small
boat would have sunk again had not the painter
been secured. Just az an experiment piece of
the house was torn off and thrown on the water.

tee to Make a Now Schedule.
SANTA BARBARA, March S-The first steps
toward a permanent organi zation OF transconti-
mental lines were made by freight agents in SEES
sion here today. They agreed to form an asso-
citation to be called Transcontinental Freight
Rate Committee, in which all transcontinental
lines, except the Great Northern. Northern Pa
citic and Canadian Pacific. are to be parties.
Resolutions to that effect were passed. but no
written agreement was drawn. The workings of
the new organization, II established, will be
less complicated than those OF the old transcon-
tinental association. Instead OF a chairman
there will be a secretary, whose duty ii shall be
TO print the tariffs agreed upon; to call meet
ings and To bring up any points at issue between
the members The organization will be for the
maintenance OF general rates, but If any one
road desires to maze special rate on some par
tcular article. IL can do so by giving proper no.
tce 10 other parties in the agreement. and il any
of the other roads desire to meet this special
rate they can do so or can keep the old rate.
The new organization will greatly resemble
the trans Missouri freight rate committee. The
Office OF the secretary will probably be at Chi.
cago. The agents have been in session all day.
ana are not yet through with checking I'D the
rate sheets, and no hints given ont as to
what new rates will be established further than
that the rates of the Northern lines will be met
