ADVANCE IN FREIGHT RATES
ruEFREIGHT ASSOCIATIONS HAVE
ORDERED A RAISE
n, Noarly All Of the Roads. Almost
Every article OF Commerce
Is Effected.

rrba railroads comp posing the South
EASTERN and Central Freight Associations
have recently made advances on certain
,;ras of freight, raising the rate and in
come instances as high as 10 cents. While
.ha manufacturers and Others are enjoys
mo the alleged wave of prosperity which
now exists to certain extent over the
ortire country, the railr ,ads feel that
thew should also partake of it, and have
ordered an increase in freight rates
which has in a number of instances AL
ready gone into effect, while in others it
will not go into effect before January or
nerhaps July LIST, 1900.
On the first day of the present month
there was an advance of several points
IN a nun. Der of articles which materially
elects the manufacturers and consumers
of Georgia and the entire,south. Principal
among the articles of this kind may be
named cotton, lum Der and coal. There
was an advance of / cent per thousand
feet on all classes of undressed lumber
and an advance of 10 cent on coal per
ton This change was instituted by
each of the above associations. AS to
whether there will be further advance on
This line of articles or not it is not Cef-
njtely known, but it is probable that
there will, as general advance is antici-
mated along nearly all lines of commodi-
ty rates about January lst
The present merchandise rates are
considered satisfactory, but commodity
rates which have been reduced from time
To time are on the rise and will continue
70 rise until they have reached their for
mer standard. The rates on all canned
goods have been advanced and viii be
placed on their former footing. The Cen
trail Freight Association has approved
the action providing for matured ad-
vance in rates on shipments of pig iron
and bilets and the articles taking the
same rate will go into effect the first OF
next year.
In the Southeastern Association there
will be an advance in freight rates on
straw, grain and grain products about
the first of next January, but it will not
be as much of an advance as will be
made by those roads composing the Cen
trail Freight Association.
Just how these advances will be ac~
cepted by those which it directly effects
ia not known, but 1t is thought that 1t
will at least be test of the present IL
nancial condition of the country.

CITY UNDER MARTIAL LAW.

Serious Riots as the Result of a Street
Car Strike at London, Ont.
LONDON, Ont, July 1.-THE city has
been placed under martial law and adj
ditional militiamen ordered from ad-
jacent towns as a result of street riots.
The police became unable to cope with
the rioters and the military was called
out to clear the streets. The trouble
commenced in the afternoon when
crowds drove the non-union crews of
several street cars from their posts and
stoned the cars. One car was fired after
the crews had left it and was al
most destroyed. When the attempt
tempt was made to nov the cars to
the barn the rioting broke out afresh.
The cars were stoned and the mob be-
came so boisterous that the riot act
had to be read. This had not the de-
sired effect and Mayor Wilson called
out the military. Several arrests were
made.

in dust. The big pack train made sew
eral trips from Prof. Lippey's claim on
Eldorado, which produced two tons of
gold dust.
The largest nuggets yet found in the
Klondike We're discovered during the
cleanup. One from Claim 4, below, on
Bonanza, weighed COZ ounces. and was
valued at 1905. A still larger me-. but
impregnated with quartz, was found on
Gold Hill. It weighed over 100 ounces
and is valued at 81. 1904.
Steamers were leaving Dawson almost
daily for st: Michael, bearing rich Klon-
dikers and their dust.
He thinks So, 600, 900 and their owners
will arrive on the first steamer from st.

Leading Filipino Ofaoials Fail.
MANILA, July 5, via Hong Kong.
July l1.-Friendly t'ilipinos in Manila
have been the medium Of communica-
ton between the American authorities
and the military leaders of the insur-
rection in Cavite province which for
some time promised to result, in bring
ing over a prominent general and sew
eral hundred of his followers with
their arms. If the negotiations had
succeeded the outcome would have had
a great moral effect, for other defec-
tions doubtless would have fol-
lowed. Were the generals name given
it might lead in his case to a fate
similar to that which has befallen other
Filipinos suspected of friendliness
toward the Americans. He had fore
seen the failure of the instruction and
advised Aguinaldo to make terms, but
it is understood that he has sent word
to t. 9 Americans that, having sworn to
support the instruction, he must re-
main loyal to the end.
Similar negotiations are said to have
been conducted with a member of the
cabinet of the so-called Filipino govern
ment, who, himself, took the initiative.
Some form of money consideration
figured in the discussions.

ST. LOUIS, July 10.-A special to The
Republic from Caldwell, Tex, says:
Cotton buyers estimate that not less
than 200 square miles of cotton bearing
land has been flooded in the Brazos dis
trict. Every acre of it would have pro-
duced a big bale. Basing the loss on
five cent figures, the crop destroyed on
these plantations was worth almost ST.

cost the people of Texas little less than
&c. O0, 900. Thousands of mules have
been drowned, all Of the domestic ami
mails have persisted; rented houses and
negro quarters have been swept away.
The gins are nearly all ruined, and hun
dreds Of plantation stores carrying big

and not a train has passed over the
Santa Fe railroad between BRENNAN

six feet deep. In many cases the men
are sleeping with three feet of water
beneath their hunks, which are elevated
on cracker boxes. The company cooks

Tornado Destroys Much Farm Property
Near Mnnawa, Wis.
MANAwA, Wis, July 1O.-A tornado
passed through Union township, five
miles north of this city, at 8 p. m. Ow-
ing to the fact that no city or village
lay in it's path prevented a result equal
ing the New Richmond horror. The
storm struck the township at the west
ern boundary and plowed a furrow
across it 6 miles long and from Is to 40
rods wide. Practically everything in
its path was destroyed. Conservative
estimates place the loss at $4,000 to
$75,O 900. Many farmhouses, barns and
outbuildings and miles Of fencing were
wrecked. There was no loss Of life,
however, and, 80 far as can be learned,
no person sustained injury.
