EXPRESS COMPANIES SAY FRAUD
They Accuse Fish-Shippers OF Cheating
Than and A hrocaie Agreement.

Dsfn ana AUfOGdtt sGTeefntbI.
General Managers J. ". Hannaford. OF
the Northern Pacific Express Company.
and W j. Footner. of the Great Northern
Express Company. charge all the fish
shippers Of Seattle of defrauding their
companies In the following circular dated
AZ 81. Paul September 2s which was CRU
lated among the shippers Yesterday by F.
r. Harlow and George s. List, local agents
OF the respective companies: eve find all
fish shippers Of your place have resorted
70 the practice Of stuffing their shipments
by putting more fish in the packages than
net weight reported TO us, and thereby de-
prlve the companies Of the legitimate rev.
enue. Therefore. In accordance with cir
ctlar Of March ?. you viii decline TO re-
celve. after Sunday, September the 10Th of
this month any fish for shipment without
prepayment of charges. You will charge
for gross weight Of packages at the mer-
chandise rate. Notify at once all fish
shippers Of these instructions"
The arrangement which the shippers are
accused OF violating and which Is thus ali
rogated was that I'm consideration Of the
companies receiving fish at net weights,
the shippers would mark the actual weight
on each box. allowing per cent. for
shrinkage IT any shipper marked his
consignments falsely all future ones would
b shipped at gross weight and merchan-
disc rate OF freight. The companies claim
some OF the dealers have been violating
the agreement and cheating them out OF
from 10 to Is per cent. of their charges.
They will accordingly charge full rates for
all shipments after September %.
The shippers all deny the charge made In
the circular. and are already talking OF a
boycott in retaliation. They talk Of giving
all their business TO the Dominion Express
Company. at Whatcon. sending IL there
by steamer. or at Sumas. which they

"The Paw Train"

with the wel1-known noises of approved.
There was a moderately sized audience
present. and it appeared to enjoy the even

The Pay Train affords little scope for
real acting. but IL is well staged and good

correct representation OF feminine deter

sympathy. She IS spry dancer, graceful
and attractive, and was called upon for

judge. q part calling for thorough COM
maud Of the Irish broCue. in which he IS
by no means perfect: hut he caught the
gallery by his dancing. and made the en-

the following resume or reports on the
cotton crop in Egypt was issued By the
Alexandria General Produce association
under date OF July 81.
The temperature has been really hot.
with the result OF destroying the worms,
which have quite disappeared since the
10Th OF July Al thar time the general
estimate of loss TO the lower Egypt erop
was quite 10 per cent OF a fun crop. but
since then this loss has been diminished.
The heat and the disappearance OF worms
nave allowed an excellent development,
ana the plants that had been madly dam
aged by the insects have rcgained their
strength and part OF the loss We must
also take Into account the Increased area
painted, which Will iurtner diminish the
loss otherwise accustomed. The first pick.
Ing is likely to he rather late In the nelds
that have suffered, but little earlier
than last year where the plants had not
been attacked. Such is the position at
the end OF the month, showing u con-
siderable Improvement Since our last re-
sumo. and giving hope for good results II
we escape worms and fogs In August and
September The reappearance OF worms,
however, is reported in few fields. hut
in small quantities, and no damage is
yet reported, The reports from Fnyoum
are good and from Upper Egypt provinces
excellent. The crop there is earlier than
last year.
