WILL INCREASE
COST OF LIVING
General and Radical Advance in
Freight Rates All Ov r the
United States

Chicago, Dec. 1.--The Chronicle to-mor-
row will say: One of the most radical
and general advances ever made in
freight rates will go into effect on all the
railroads east and west Of Chicago.
Thousands of articles of everyday con-
sumption will be affected and the increase
will average So and 40 per cent, the jump
on many classes reaching 50 per cent. The
contemplated action has aroused the ship
ping interests of the country.
The shippers say that If the carrying
charges are increased to the extent an
nounced by the railroads it will have the
effect of increasing retail prices In every
line Of trade. Sugar, soap, coffee, flour,
coal and farm implements are a few Of
the articles to be affected. OF these as
well as on hundreds of other articles the
increase will run from 20 to 30 per cent.
The rate on coal, for example, west OF
Chicago will be pushed up rs cents on the
ton. Rates on cattle will be advanced to
rs cents per 100 pounds, and hogs and
sheep will go up from Is to 30 cents and
dressed meats to 40 cents per 100 pounds.
Hay is another article that will feel the
advance severely. The tariff on this will
be increased to 81 10 per ton.
Chicago shippers are circulating petit
tons to defer the advances until April 1,
to enable them to catch up on orders.
Should the railroads refuse disastrous re-
SUITS 10 manufacturers ana wholesalers
will, it is claimed, be the consequence.
Shippers In several jobbing centers talk
of appealing to the judiciary.
Officers of the railroads declare that
the advances are made necessary by the
increased cost of everything they are
compelled to buy, from ties to engines
They further aver that there is no reason
why the railroads should continue quot
Ing panic rates while merchants, manu-
facturers and others are advancing
rates.

general is as follows:
Sir: Through you I desire to ten
der to the president my resignation as
United States judge for the district OF
Alaska. The present term Of court will
probably terminate in January, leav-
ing business in condition for the spring
term. But my business arrangements
are such that I must surrender office
by the list day of March. If my sue
cessor could be appointed so as to
reach Alaska on the date last named.
1t would be highly gratifying to me.
In rendering my resignation it affords
me much pleasure to extend to the
president and to you my hearty thanks.
not alone for my appointment, but for
the uniform confidence and kindness
shown me during my incumbency. My
duties, while arduous. have been uni
formly pleasant and my retirement Is
due solely to the necessity of lettering
my financial condition. Three -Aou-

pay ones necessary expenses in
Alaska, and / am gratif'ed with the
assurance have received that my sue

But although the bishops them
