ASK SHIPPING BONUS.
Canadian Lumber and Mill Men Fear
American ComDetition

Canadian Lumber and Mill Men Fear
American Competition.
Vancouver, b. G., Nov. 21.-The Ium-
bermen and mill owners of British
Columbia viii probably petition both
the federal and provincial governments
for a ship tonnage bonus for Canadian
vessels. They allege that shipping
firms in San Francisco have accom-
plished competitive movement in
connection with recent ship charters
which has had the effect of making it
impossible for British Column bia ship
pers to obtain freight ships except at
such advanced rates as to absorb the
mill mems profit
Lumber shipments are now costing so
cents a thousand more than was
formerly paid for British bottoms and
those interested in the lumber trade
assert that it is only by securing lower
ocean freight rates that the industry
can be profitably carried on.

UNITED STATES AND RUSSIA ARE
NEGOTIATING A RECIPROCITY TREATY

Under a strict construction of the coun-
tervailing duty section of the Dingley act,
sucn bOunty-aided sugar is liable to a
discriminatory duty. But the nlted
reservations of the Russian government
has indefinitely suspended the eXaction Of
such duties. For its part the Russian
government has refrained from imposing
maximum land in many cases prOhibi-
tory duties upon United States exports
to Russia.
Now il is intimated that the situation
is rather precarious- that there is danger
at any moment of a judicial decision or
some executive action on one side or the
other that may destroy the amiCabie I'M
derstanding. This appears from the news
received on the Pdcifie coast that Russia
is contemplating an So per cent increase
i'm the duties on American flour, while
the sugar arrangement is by no means
permanent.

San Francisco. Nov. 21.-For several
hours today this city was almost en-
tireIy cut off from telegraph commun-
icatfon on account of the heavy wind

of minor character, and was confined
chiefly to the destruction of trees and
fences and small buildings of rail con-
structiOn. Many telephone ard tele-
graph lines were blown down and COM
muniCation was broken. The traffic
lines suffered to a considerable extent,
particularly in the suburban districts,
where tracks were flooded, rOadbeds
washed way and cars driven from the
tracks. Along the water front there
was damage to the shipping in the bar
Dor. but not of any serious conse-
quence.
The schooner Daisy Rowe, which sail
ed for Puget Sound yesterday, was
driven on the rocks near Point Bonita
and wrecked.
