cents Tor bolts it costs $i-s5 q thousand 20 pro-
duce shingles, and still this nan proposes 10
sell them for 81.
Mr.. Lindsey says the banks of Tacoma
Will not support any shingle association
on the lines heretofore laid down, because
there is nothing to prevent cutting and dis
solution. Continuing on this line he said:
The bankers Of Seattle know less than the
local banks about this proposition and il is mere
infansiie bosh 70 think Of carrying on the asso-
ciation a. has been proposed. Tho men who
propose to do the business too willing TO sell

that demoralizcs business aud allows the cut
rate men to supply the Eastern iobbers a: ruin
Gus prices. and therefore the legitimate jobbers
here suffer. until they quilt, as many arc doing.
There are tricks IN the shingle jobbing
business, according to Mr.. Lindsey. He
says:
When we pay sl.eo for shingles We only de-
nand that the shingles be dried down until they
weigh not more than $50 pounds TO the thou
sand. Besides, we give the manufacturer the
whole benefit of any weights less than the maxi
mum. We do tha. to be liberal with the manu-
facturers. Bat they turn around-;hat is, q great
many OF them do-and sell their shingles to the
Eastern joboers at the prices named, and at the
same time guarantee to dry the shingles down
to 10 pounds. Now, at the 60-cens rate of
freight, you see the tricky jobber benefits on
this increased lighsncss OF the shingles. aud ne
does not allow the manufacturer anything If
his weights are even less than tho l7o-pound
maximum rate. AT 60cent freight rate,
reckoned at $50 pounds. the freight per 1000

ern jobber. so. you see. besides getting his
shingles at q reduction in return for paving 50
or 30 per cent. cash, while the association pays
only 40 per cent cash, the Eastern man makes
a saving on weights. Then, as a result, ne goes
into the market aud offers his shingles free ON
board the cars for $l.5o, when the price fixed by
the association is $L75. The Eastern man also
takes advantage of the Union Pacife's 55-cent
rate from Portland, and allowing, say, 81 for
freight, he can lay shingles down in the East
for y GO and make money.

MADRID, May 1.-THE Republicans and
Cariists are making a persistent and
strong fight against the government bill
providing for the postponement Of mu-
nicipal elections until November.
The Republicans prepared to lead an i'm.
mense procession of electors to the door
of the courts today to present petition
against the bill. The police forbade the
demonstration. Nevertheless, crowds
gathered around the parliamentary build
ing and all the streets in the neighbor-
hood were filled with people who arc
opposed to the bill, marching in process
sion. The corridors in the building were
lined with policemen, and several COM
panies of soldiers were drawn up just out
side and on the avenue leading
to the cortes. So far the police
have been able to disperse crowds with
out violence. The government is prepared
for seri Gus trouble. and has increased the
guards in all public offices. There is every
prospect that the sitting will be continued
until midnight on Saturday, when it will
be necessary to adjourn over Sunday.

The Quarter deck could be seen and the

Capt. Chailiston says IL was wooden

pected to 60 ashore. The vessel rolled so
badly that water came over the rail on
both sides The situation appeared worse
because there were twelve tons of powder
aboard, and the rolling OF the ship might
have set the cargo adrift, resulting in an
explosion. Capt. chal.iston says that
when he expected to go ashore he packed
up his things, but. had the ship struck, an
