Passengers Of the Paris.

Falmouth, England, May 23-Most of
the passengers of THE American liner
Paris. which ran on the rocks off Low
land Point Sunday morning, left here
on special trains this morning. The
majority will take. passage on the st.
Paul, which sails for New York on
Saturday next. The weather is favor
able to the stranded ship. Soundings
show the ship to be resting more fav-
orably owing to the fact that she has
been considerably lightened. She is
not straining at all, and there is per-
ceptible movement Of the ship, show
ing clear passage free from rocks.
Powerful tugs belonging to the Liver
pool Salvage association are expected
to arrive at the scene of the wreck this
evening, and the divers believe the adj
ditional pumps will clear the first four
holds. The fifth is so badly pierced
that no amount of pumping will clear
it. The remaining six holes are secure.
1t is expected the steamer will come off
the rocks without sustaining further
damage. The officers of the Paris still
refuse to furnish any explanation of
her getting out of her course.

CHEAPER RATES DESIRED.
Pacific Coast Jobbers Say They're
Getting the Worst of It.
CONFERENCE IN ST. PAUL
The Transcontinental Freight Tariff on
the N. P. and G. N. Satisfactory to
the Middle West Jobbers,
but Bad for the Others

st. Paul, May 23.-Representatives of
the jobbing interests Of the Pacific
coast and the important commercial
centers of the Middle West met in
conference at the Ryan hotel to-day,
the result of which will greatly affect
trans-continental traffic. The subject
was the recent trans-continental freight
tariff put into effect by the two North
ern roads on May 1, which the Western
men claim will ultimately cause them
severe loss. Jobbers of the Middle
West. on the contrary, hold that they
cannot afford to see the tariff chang
ed. and the opposing factions are lay
ing the matter before representative
officials of the Western roads. Two ses-
sions were held to-day, an adjournment
without a decision being taken at
o'clock. A third session will convene
tomorrow morning.
The coast jobbers represent that if
the present tariffs are continued it will
ultimately result in curtailing their
trade. They desire a great difference
between car and less than carload rates
and the prohibition of mixed carload
shipments. They maintain that I'M
less greater difference is made in
car and less than carload rates they
are certain to lose trade in their i'm
mediate territory, to which they hold
they are justly entitled.
About 80 jobbers In all We're repre-
sented and were met in st. Paul by j.
M. Hannaford, vice president of the
Northern Pacific; Francis B. Clark,
traffic manager of the Great Northern;
Freight Agent Somers of the Great
Northern and other prominent off
Gals The presentation of the case
was followed by general discussion.
In the afternoon the reports of the
wholesale and jobbing interests of the
Middle West commended that Western
jobbers did not take advantage of their
position which they had advanced as
their main argument, and that evil
dence of this was found in the fact that
they receive only about 25 per cent.
of the articles on which the less than
carload rates have been lowered by
the water route while the remaining
Is per cent, comes to them across the
continent by rail. They advanced the
argument that present rates on less
than carloads are from so cents to SO
per hundred pounds in advance of the
carload rates and that this difference
is, or ought to be, sufficient for their
protection
