VIII stu Remain a Member.

To those not in frequent communication
with the executive branch of the Wash
ington Red Cedar Shingle Manufacturers
Association. the announcement that
President f. j. McNeeley has rendered
his resignation. to take effect at once.
Will be a surprise. Mr.. McNeeley's &C
ton was taken yesterday, and the resig-
nation is now in the hands of Secretary
Beckman.
To those who have been in close touch
with the management OF the association
the matter is no surprise, and so far as
the association is concerned, other than
losing a valuable and rd-working head.
II will have no effect. The step has been
contemplated by President McNeeley for
several months. There are many rea-
sons. OF purely a personal nature. that
made him DESTROYS of rellnquishinE his
position. Only after being pressed by
members OF the association did he con-
sent TO reelection at the first of the pres
ent year.
Besides being one of the largest shingle
manufacturers belonging to the associa-
ton, with mills at Tacoma, Mr.. McNeeley
also handles the product of several pther
mills. which places him in the list as a
broker. AS such. in the administration
of the associations affairs. he has been
working against his brokerage business.
and for this reason, IN the main. he has
been anxious to sever his connection in
an official capacity with the association
for several months.
Victor ". Beckmsn. secretary OF the
association. yesterday said:
Mr.. McNeeley has resigned his posi-
tion more on account of his being en-
gagged in the brokerage business than
anything else. His resignation Will have
no effect on the association other than
the loss OF a valuable officer who has
done much good in his official position.
His mill Will remain in the association.
and az a milman Mr.. McNeeey will
maintain association prices in all branch
es of his business.
within few days a meeting will be
called and a successor elected to fll out
the unexpired term. and in all probability
he will be manufacturer only"

Washington. Jan. 2S,-A report prepared

of the merchandise exchanged with these
two countries. including the port Of Hong

INTERSTATE COMMERCE COM
MISSION WANTS MORE POWER
Suit in Federal Court That May Re-
suit in notwithstanding Relations
With Transportation Companies.

St. Paul Mimi. Jan. 2S.-The interstate
commerce commission in an action in
equity brought in the United States cir
cult court against the Northern Pacific
Railway company. shows desire to make
effective by appeal to the federal courts
those orders Of the commission which for
months have been to a large extent dis
regarded by railway cOmpan es- The con-
missiOners are saiQ to have now adopted
a procedure that viii TevOiUtiOnize their
relations with transportation companies.
If the courts grant the assista nee that
the new procedure demands. the inter
safe commerce commission viii hereafter
be q tribunal that can punish instead of a
friend that can advise.
The bill is a petition that the court
compel the Northern Pacific company to
answer the commissions charge that the
company has cOntir ned to ignore an order
issued by the commission last November
relative to the adjustment of rates on
certain commodities from the twin cities.
and other Minnesota Wisconsin points
and eastern cities.
In June, 1899 the George Tilston Milling
company of St. Cloud. and the city Of
St. Cloud filed separate complaints with
the commission alleging that the North
ern Pacific company was charging the
milling company and various St. CiOud
concerns more for transporting property
for d shorter distance than for transport
ing the same property a long distance
along the same line and in the same a
rectiOn. Such Determinations is q vio2-
ton of the interstate commerce act. 1t
was charged that the rate from st. cloud
to Superior and eastern points was high
er than from the Twin cities Anoka. and
Elk River to Superior and the same east
eTn points.
The matter was heard by the commits
sion in this city last August. After con-
sideTatiOn. an order was issued last No
Vember which, il is expected the rail-
way company has continuously disre-
garded.
Pending the decision of the case. the
court is petitiOned to restrain the railway
company from violating the commission S
order. The defendant is to appear in
court March ,.

The man drew a pistol and pointed at
the officers heart, but as he did so
Koch flashed his own and fired four
shots Three took effect. and the man

New York, Jan 2S.-Mrs. Mary Tra-
vers Heckscher. wife Of John G. Heck

was Henry Winthrop Gray, to whom
she was married when she was 20 years
Old
The Grays were very friendly with
John G. Heckscher and his first wife.
Mr.. Gray. angered by the tattle Of a
drop of gossip in the Union club, got
into a row with Mr.. HecksCher over
attentions which he asserted the latter
had paid to Mrs. Gray. Blows were
struck and the next day friends of the
two men arranged for a duel
The duel was fought just across the
Canadian line from ROuses Point. Pts
tolls were the weapons and it was agreed
that the men were to fire one shot each
at ten PAGES.
At the signal Mr.. Gray fired prompt
", the bullet just grazing the side of
his antagonist. Mr.. Heckscher re-
served his fire. and after the smoke had
cleared away he pointed his weapon
at Mr.. Gray, and then. suddenly throw
ing up his hands, discharged the pistol
into the air. Mr.. Gray subsequently
obtained a divorce from his wife in
the Connecticut courts on the grounds
of desertiou.

AFTER ORIENTAL TRADE.
James J. Hill is to Build Many
Steamships

Steamships.
Chicago Jan. 2S.-The Record tomOr-
row viii say: Within the next five
years. according 10 james J. Hill, the
steamships 10 be operated between
points on the North Pacific coast points
and the Orient, in connection with the
Great Northern railroad, viii number
twenty-five. The vessels viii be among
the largest in ocean service. and each
viii have a speed of twelve TO fourteen
knots an hour. AT present eight Of
them either are in course of cOnstruc-
ton or have been contracted for. and
as soon as they leave the shipwrights
hands they VIII be pressed into the new
service.
la the mind of the Great Northern
president the proposed service TO the
Orient viii be an important benefit TO
the industries of thu north and north
west. Mr.. Hilb unfolding his plans,
said.
81 propose 20 build as many vessels
dis the trade with the Orient will jus
tify, and that viii be a good many.
The natural market of the Pacific
coast is China. Japan and the Philip
pines. The docks at Seattle are large
enough To accommodate all of the ship
ping for some time. but eventually the
conditions VIII warrant more extensive
harhur acCOmmpdat iCls- It is too far
from the Pacific coast TO the eastern
states to ship many Of the northwest
eTn products to the east. a market for
grain in the Orient will give the far
mers a price higher than they can get
IN the east.
The products of the IRON and coal
mines and lumber regions in the north
west can be sold To better advantage
in the markets of the Orient than they
can bring in the east. 1t is not like
forcing something upon the market
that people do not want. They want
everything we can take to them. and
we want their products. We shall have
twenty-five steamships in this service
within the next FIVE years. The vessels
viii be of the largest size, with enor-
nous capacities and comparatively
slow speed Speed is not so much of an
object as 10 be able to lay the goods
on the other side of the Pacific SO that
