TO RAISE RATES ON LUMBER.
Railroads May Issue New Tariff Sheet
Soon.

All the southwestern and southern
lines are now considering a proposition
to advance the rate on yellow pine lum-
Der cents per 100 pounds from Texas
and Arkansas to Missouri river points.
The officials of the different roads have
been in conference in Kansas City dis
cussing the matter, but as yet nothing
has been definitely decided upon. If the
advance is made it will be uniform and
will go into erect on all roads. There
will be a meeting of the western freight
men within the next couple OF days to
take the matter up.
Several weeks ago an advance of 2
cents was voted upon by the lines of
Arkansas and Texas, to go into effect
March l, but this was afterwards post
poned until April l. Now the southeast
ern lines want 20 be given until April Is
before putting the advance in, while they
would have the lines west of the river
put the schedule in effect April 1. The
western lines, of course, refuse to &C
cede TO this, as it would give a big adj
vantage to the mills on the southeastern
roads. In the mean time the lumbermen
are making strong objections TO any
raise. A petition to this effect was sent
tO the lines

THERE'S MYSTERY.
Think Steamer Went Down, but No
Authentic Facts

San Francisco. March 1S-Great mys-
terry attaches to the disappearance and
identity of a steamer which is reported
to have sent up signals OF distress off
Point Reyes last night.
The distressed vessel sounded three long
blasts and lanterns were swung on the
port side in a frantic manner. indicating
that great excitement prevailed on board
the vessel. To the watchers at the Point
Reyes light house it looked as II those on
board were preparing to disembark. Cap
tain Jorgensen of the light house. ordered
his crew TO get a life boat ready and with
his men launched the boat and spent sew
eral hours cruising in the vicinity Of the
spot where the steamer Is supposed TO
have gone down. but nothing to indicate
a wreck was found. The steamer Column
bia. from Portland Ore, arrived today
and her commander saw no wreckage
or any other indications that a vessel
had gone to the bottom.
The steamer Corona. from Eureka, Cal,
signaned that she lad passed immense
quantities OF wreckage at 800 O'Clock this
morning at a point about thirty miles
southwest OF Point Arena. Investigations
indicate that this wreckage was a portion
of the deck load Of the steam schooner
Alcatraz from Greenwood Landing Cal.
which was lost during "A storm on the
morning OF March S together with some
OF her rigging. Thine Alcatraz arrived In
port safely severay days ago. The con-

freedom. The method of union legislation
was fully covered and unfair treatment
of the minority was minutely set torth.
Also the speaker showed that the element
which composes union majorities is not
competent 70 pass upon measures which
so seriously effect the public welfare
MIR. Charles gave quotations from the
deepest philosophers 10 the effect that the
right to labor is inherent in every human
being and that labor unions impose re-
stricticns which are contrary to the fun
damental laws of nature. He proceeded
20 enlarge upon the evil effects of viO-
lence attendant upon strikes. The treat
ment of the non-union workman and the
''scab'' also was treated in detail. He
quoted with dramatic effect from the
labor pamphlets of the American FEEDER
alton of Labor in regard to the ''scab.'
The inconsistency of labor organizations
in times of financial depression was pre-
scented with telling effect. Mr.. Charles
closed with a eulogy TO the progressive
spirit Of America.
Mr. Ralph Williams was the last
speaker on the negative. He has good
voice and filled the hall with it. He has
good appearance on the stage. He
talked on the reduction of the working
day from Is hours to IA, 10 y. and finally
TO 10 hours. He showed that the work
was of a higher class and was turned out
in better shape and with better results
both TO the laboring man and TO the
employer. The pay in cash, as opposed
to the check on the company store, was,
he said, an Improvement brought about
by labor organization. He told of labor
laws that were the direct result of the
labor union. Arbitration. he said, was
the only means Of reaching an agreement
between employer and employees. The
trades union has been found essential
to the success OF this arbitration.
Strikes lead to arbitration, no matter
whether a success or a failure. An en-
ployer can be compelled to arbitrate by
this means
Miss La Rue Hornor. as the alternate
for the Friends debateTs, has proved her
self to be one who could be depended
upon in time of need. If one of the
three who represented the Quakers had
been called away, the opportunity would
have found Miss Hornor more than
ready. She has worked faithfully on the
subject for debate and has been an in
valuable aid TO the others. She is ca
pable student, and is active in doing what
ever is best for her school.

BLOCKADE Is RAISED
Serious Friction Is Believed to

The action taken by the Venezuelan
government in raising the blockade. was
received here with great relief. for
although there were no outward symp-
toms OF trouble, il is now known that
the enforcement of the decree would
probably have resulted in serious fric-
ton, perhaps involving a renewal OF hos
tilities. British interests next to our own
being predominant in the Orinocco section
the British ambassador here was the first
one 10 move for the announcement OF
the blockade decree. The United States
government practically had decided 10
recognize the blockade If Venezuela sta
toned a sufficient number of ships at
the mouth of the Orinocco to make il
effective, particularly if these ships were
supplemented in their work by certain
shore batteries in command of positions.
But the British government was not

which are already in Strengthened fnan-

the blockade were persisted in Great Brit

the rebels in Venezuela and moreover.
applying the laws of neutrality with
strictness. would close all British ports 10
Venezuelan warships. allowing them only
the small privilege of putting in in time
of stress for a very limited period. Even
during the enforcement of the blockade
last March the British government never
went to this length and the threat dis
mayed President Castro. If the rebels
were to be recognized as belligerents
their cause would be strengthened i'm
mensely. for they might charter priva-
teers and be put in a position TO borrow
money and conduct war on larger and

dentally, the revocation of the order has
relieved the nava! authorities here. who
haG decided that If the blockade was to
be re-esta blished it would be the duty of
the navy TO watch developments at the
mouth of the Orinocco. and that we
should send three naval vessels to that

resents an Austrian willow grove and
flower garden, which. with its mammoth
willow trees and artificial blossoms is
most beautiful. The second act is a fine
old German interior. The third act is a
gorgeous reproduction of an Austrian
court ball room.

to-day again by the introduction Of
new witnesses in the case against Cur

"Ciudad Bolivar is probably the hot
test place on earth. 1t is built on
solid black rock, which retains the
days heat far into the night, so that
there is practically no respite. New
York's recent heat wave would have
been welcomed as a cool spell by the
inhabitants of this Orinoco hades.
"All day long one is plagued by
myriads of mosquitoes more aggressive
even than those which have made New
Jersey famous; and at night battalions
of frogs croak horribly and murder

pitted with bullet marks-grim relics
of former revolutionS-and many are
in ruins. Ciudad Bolivar has often
been a battlefield before to-day.
THE streets are unpaved, and in the
center of each there is a green, stag
nant ditch. Where streets intersect,
a plank is thrown across to bridge
these bitches.
There are no vehicles, and indeed
very little civilization of any kind. The
place is always swarming with nickel
plated generals and bandit soldiers,
who fatten on the unfortunate inlfabi-
tants, sip aguardiente, smoke their
eternal brown cigarettes and discuss
the glorious victories they are going
to win"
