THEY WANT THE CARS.
Lumbermen Accuse the Northern Pa
clfic of DETERMINATIONS


At the meeting OF the Pacific Coast Shin
gle Shippers Association in the Butler
hotel yesterday an informal discussion de-
veloped a strong undercurrent of feeling
against the Northern Pacific on the ground
that IL evinces an intention of sidetracking
shingles and lumber as soon as grain be-
gins TO move. Grain and tea shipments
combined Will employ every available car,
and the company viii not give up its tea
trains, but will let lumber wait for trans
portaton. The meeting was presided over
by II. X. Dunfway, vice president of the
association. During the meeting there was
a great deal of talk about the Northern
Pacific declining the use of 200 empties of
fered by the Burlington at Billings and
one OF the speakers related that a few
days ago he passed the mines at RosIyn,
where the output is about six cars a day.
and counted among other freight cars $50
Northern Pacific empties. He brought
this fact before the meeting as an indica-
ton that the company was not greatly ex-
erting itself to relieve the strain and ac-
commodate the shuglemen.
In support OF the allegation that the
Northern Pacific is discriminating against
their class of traffic, the single men say
that tea is hauled, passenger train SER
vice. from Tacoma 10 New York for 60
cents per cwt.. while the rate on shingles
between the same points is So cents per
cwt Entering into the calculation is the
factor OF tea requiring quickest move
ment and being subject 10 easy loss. while
shingles may be delayed without serious
damage.

The Colirna Disaster.

City of Mexico. Aug. 1.-THE govern
ment of Mexico has made no official In
vesiigation OF the Colima disaster. but re-
ports from the collectors of customs to
the ministers Of finance all say that the
disaster was caused by the ship being
topheavy. while reports from port OFF,
Gals say the ship was overloaded and
that the captain and officers were dere-
lict In attending TO their duties. President
Diaz has ordered that hereafter no ship
be granted clearance papers unless the
authorities are satisfied that everything
Ia all right. The authorities claim that
they had no right to interfere with the
case, because the Colima was an Ameri-
can ship from an American port to a
foreign port. only touching at Mexican
ports In transit. The Guatemaian gov
eminent proposes TO make the Pacific
Mall Company hereafter responsible
Doubtless If suits are brought in any

PREMlER's SPEECH CRITICISED.

ty the Associated Press.

London, Aug. 1.-THE first days OF the
new parliament have been marked by sew
eral features OF note. The most prominent
OF them were the utter want OF color in
the queens speech, the remarks of the
Marquis OF Salisbury in reply to Lord
Rosebery in the house OF lords. and the
Suspension OF DR.. Charles Tanner for ex-
tTaordinary conduct in the house of COM
mons. during which the latter gave the
lie 10 Mr. Timothy Harrington. who had
observed that the Liberal party fed from
home rule.
The Marquis OF Salisbury's statement IN
regard to China was not we'll received.
and II was thought his language was not
strong enough and implied overmuch con-
fidence in the power of the Chinese gov
eminent TO punish the culprfts. The Globe
yesterday presented the opinion of the
ministerialists when It said: THE Mar
quis of Salisbury scarcely seems TO have
gone far enough. In spite Of the cour-
teous assurances of the Chinese ambassa-
dor, ii may shrewdly be doubted whether
the Chinese government intends TO give
adequate reparation." The Globe then ex-
presses doubts as to the safety of the
British and American consuls going to the
scene OF the massacre escorted by Chinese
soldiers.
Some talk has been aroused here by the
issue of an emergency letter from the
war office, signed by the principal medi-
cal officer OF the home department. ask
ing the city authorities and the guardian
boards whether in the event of war or
invasion. they will be prepareds to allow
the war department to utilize the public
infrmaries for the mobilization of army
corps for home defense. The war office
is reticent, and IL is impossible to obtain
the reasons for the issuance OF the letter.
The Westminster Gazette this afternoon.
commenting on yesterdays meeting OF
members of parliament favorable to cur
rency reform says: 1T is true that some
members OF the present government are
tremely unlikely that any action such as
was suggested will be taken. The gold
standard party has hitherto not thought
1t worth while to take any serious action.
but were such a resolution as the one
adopted at yesterdays meeting likely to
be carried into effect the bi-metallists
would Immediately begin to discover the
strength of the advocates of a single gold
standard"
State Senator Thomas Wilson. of Idaho,
In conversation with a reporter of the
Associated Press recently said: II have
been in London in connection with min
ing business a great many times in the
past few years. and I am glad to notice
this summer that American investments
are looking up and taking their places
beside Africans. There seems to be a gem
eral disposition on the part of the stock
exchange here to listen with more favor
to any one who has mining stock to list in
London"

Mr.. Abbott Owes the Bank Nothing.

Tacoma, Aug. h.-Special. the suit
instituted by the National Bank of Com
merce OF this city against certain of the
old directors OF the bank, an account OF
which was given in the Post-Inteliigencer
OF Friday, 1t was alleged that large sums
OF money were loaned the Commercial In
vestment Company, OF which T. o. Alb
bolt. OF this city. is president, all OF
which was a loss to the bank. Mr.. Alb
bott said to a Post-Intelligencer repre-
sentative: The allegations of the bank
do me great injustice. Whatever
moneys were borrowed from the bank
were always amply secured. and every
dollar OF il was finally paid. as evidenced
by the notes now in my possession. all Of
which were Cancelled by the present Off
GERS OF the bank. The statements are
false and libelous. and I wish you would
make this correction. so that my friends
throughout the state will understand the
facts I am not a party 10 the action
and have had no dealings with the bank
for over two years"

Office-Ifis Explanation.

The faction fight among the stockhold-
ers of the Renton Cooperative Coal Com
pany appears to be far from finished, for
the statement made in yesterdays Post
Intelligencer on the authority OF the
new trustees that the property OF the
company had been turned over to hem
hy the stockholders is emphatically de-
MED by Roger c.. Reese, the secretary
who claims that Rees T. Daniels at
tempted 10 take the books by force. Mr.
Reese states his version Of the case in
the following communication handed the
Post Intelligencer yesterday:
ITO the Editor: In yesterdays issue
an item appeared stating that the office
Of the Renton Cooperative Coal Com
panv has been moved 10 room Si Seattle
National Bank building. and that James

president and secretary, respectively. The
statement is intended 10 infer that the
above mentioned persons are in posses
sion OF the affairs OF the company. which
is entirely untrue: in fact. the shaTehOl9-
ers DO not acknowledge them as trustees
Of tho company. They recognize the
Old officers only. who have the book of
