SANTA BARBARA, March IO.-Tbe
freight agents of the transcontinental
lines adjourned this afternoon to meet
Tuesday at Monterey. One of the reasons
iof TINS Is that the officers wish to confer
Win Il. IL. Countiss of Chicago, who has
oeen appointed to the Secretaryship of
the 1ranscontinental Freight Rate Com
mittee, before proceeding with other
business. The principal business of the
conference has been completed, and the
opJect OF the meeting has been accom-
plished.
Inc Chairman of the conference gives
the following report to the Associated
Press: The California lines in session
here have agreed to adopt, to California
terminal points only, practically the same
rates as were put III force to North Pacific
coast points by the northern lines from
|hicago TO points west, the new tariff to
go INTO effect about April lst."
Ihe matter of making rates to meet the
clippers is said to be dead issue. The
rates made are as low, the officers say, as
the roads can afford, and practically cut
OH clipper competition. The Worlds
EAR exhibit rates have not been touched,
but will be brought up probably at Mon
| terey, together with other minor issues.
X. ii. Countiss, who has been appointed
Secretary of the Terminal Transconti-
mental Freight Rates Committee. was
| formerly Auditor of the old Transconti-
mental Association. He has accepted the
office and will meet with the committee
at Monterey on Tuesday.
The officers here are much put out at
the report that the action taken by them
meant rate war. They have not gone
below any of the rates made by the
northern lines, and say that they think
neither side wants to go any further.

dition. The storm that commenced here
several days ago and abated for some
time, was resumed at an early hour to-
day, and Intermittent rains have been
falling during the morning, accompanied
by stiff southeast gale, giving all the
prospects of another storm. The preci-
pitation for the storm is l.94 inches. and
for the season 1919 inches.

fathers death and placed his claim in the
hands of Lawyer II. Davis, who brought

finally compromise was reached by
which his client receives $4,000. Now

seekers, Mr.. BretZ was admitted to the
Presidential presence. Said Mr.. Bretz to
Cleveland: ''Mr. President, 1 have just
one question to ask you. Is it true, as
has been stated in the newspapers, that
you will, as a rule, refuse to reappoint
men who held Office under your previous
Administrations"

comic brevity.
docs that rule apply to Postmasters?"
asked the Indiana Congressman.
''It does" said Mr.. Cleveland sharply.
And to anything else?" asked Mr..

into three.
''To everything" replied the President.
"Good-day, Mr.. President"
"Good-day, Mr.. Brett"
In this brief interview, the report of
which comes directly from Mr. Bretz
himself President Cleveland confirms
one important part of his reported policy
as to appointments. The news will come

ment TO large force of ofice-seekers now
