NEW SCHEDULE OF
RATES PROPOSED
The TranScOntinental Lines will
Have a Meeting Soon.
GENERAL FREIGHT ADVANCES
With Present Tonnage Oriental Lines
Say They Will Be Unable to Handle
Much Freight at Present Rates.
Post.Intelligencer.

Post -Intelligencer.
The great transcontinental lines will
have melting Of traffic officials in st.
Paul in the near future, when a new
schedule Of rates from ST. Paul to Seat
tie, Tacoma, Portland and the ports in
the Orient will be promulgated. AS
yet the date has not been definitely an
nounced, but will follow shortly after
the return of President Hill from New
York. This is the same nesting that
was called ana postponed some three
weeks ago, and is the result Of pro-
test on the part Of the Oriental Steam
ship lines, both Canadian and Ameri-
can, against the present percentage OF
west bound rates they are allowed for
the ocean haul.
The meeting will be an all important
one to the Coast, as the traffic manag-
ers will not alone consider an advance
on west-bound rates, but on good au-
thority it is learned that east-bound
rates will also be sent up a notch. 1t Is

will be raised, but just how much no
one is able to prognOsticate. The pres
ent shortage Of cars, the increasing
rather than the diminishing traffic and
the prospect of a large business for
many months to come is taken by the
roads as an excuse for participating
in the general prosperity Of the coun-
try. All transcontinental lines have
recently had representatives over their
various divisions, and it is said an
agreement to advance has practically
been maue, so that there is very little
likelihood Of the plan falling through.
In considering the advance an effort,
Il is said, will be made to get back to
the rates formerly prevailing. The
movement will be a gradual one be-
cause shippers would probably not be
willing to stand any radical increase.
Nevertheless it is conceded that so far
as the Coast points are concerned
shiupers would be willing TO stand a
moderate advance owing to the pre-
vailing conditions regarding freight
shipments In the grain and lumber
districts and particularly If it meant

q more rapid movement Of freight.
The railroads say that nOtwithstand-
ing the fact that all annual reports for
the past fiscal year show an increased
earning IN all departments II is due
solely to the volume Of business hand
led and not to the low rates that were
first inaugurated during the financial
depression of 1898 and 1894. These
times they maintain are now past and
the general impression is that railroads
should share in the benefits. On many
Of the commodities such as grain
grain products, lumber canned goods
and other products Of the soil, the rates,
It is said, will probably be advanced to
a point corresponding to that reached
about ten years ago. But not all VIII
20 that high. The basis on which the
advance will be made will, 1t is stated
be on as average increase Of 10 per cent
all around.
The Eastern and Southern lines have
already taken the initial step on grain
for export from Atlantic points on a
basis Of % cents, which is an advance
from the quoted rates based on 20 cents
which have prevailed for the last six
years. Prior to that time the rates
were based on % cents.
The Oriental lines here and at other
coast points are at this time expecting
large shipments Of cotton to Japan and
China ports. Their capacity for heavy
freight has been greatly reduced by
the pressure Of vessels for transport
service and all agree that in order to
make the lines pay they must receive
a greater per cent Of the rates from
shipping points. The Northern Pacific
alone has been able to keep up It's ton
mage by the leasing Of other vessels
but now no more large ships, suitable
for the trade, can be procured and the

present tonnage the Oriental lines say
that they will be unable to handle
much heavy freight at the prevailing
rates, as their capacity is almost taker

chicapn Tlmes-Herald.

Chicago Times-Herald.
The Washington correspondent Of a
New York paper claims to have infor-
matlon to the effect that European
powers interested in the trade Of China
will soon ask this government to select
a "zone influence" and port in that
empire.
The occasion for this request Is as
sumed to be the fact that, with the
United States occupying a base In the
Philippines and holding Honolulu,
Guam and Manila as intermediary de-
pots, the trade of China and Japan
will naturally tend toward San Fran
cisco. no matter from what port or
''zone Of influence" It started. In view
of our commanding position at the
gateway to the Orient the European
powers will naturally be desirous that
the United States shall confine its com
rnerce to a definite sphere rather than
to become a dangerous competitor In
/ all the open ports.
II any request Of this nature is for
muated by the European powers 1t is
/ safe to say that it will meet with a
prompt disclaimer on the part OF this
government Of any intention to acquire
! or control a particular zone" Of com
/ nercal activity in China. The United
/ States could not afford to be commit
! ted in this way to any partition OF the
Chinese empire. Such a policy could
not be justified by our government on
/ the score Of commercial necessity
without any base Of operations in the
/ Pacific. and with no American lines
of merchantmen from San francisco
we have built up an export trade witt
China which in 1893 amounted 10 $lO,'
OOO0CO. The monthly summary Of com
morce and finance for September Is
sued by the treasury department shows
that our exports to China for the frs
nine months Of this year amounted Z
s11.3C4,641. from which T. Is safe to pre-
dict that the total sales Of American
goods in Chino for the year 1899 vii
not fall below $15,OO0OOO.

isfy the United states is the Chinese
empire. The United States is in a po
