San Francisco. Nov. 2.-Today a
number OF new rates on flour and wheat
shipments from Vancouver, Seattle.
Tacoma, Portland and this city to the
orient went into effect. From the first
four ports named the rate on flour has
been advanced from 50 to $5 a ton and
on wheat from 81 to IS a ton. In other
words, the northern steamer lines have
stopped fighting and restored rates to
the old figure.
The China Commercial having made
q new deal with the Mexican govern

sent price. to 81 per ton.

THE COLOMBIAN DIFFICULTY.

The trouble about the Panama canal
is set forth from the Colombian point OF
view. by Mr. Raul Perez, who contrib
utes an article ON that subject TO the
North American Review for July. He
explains that there Is really no author
ity in Colombia with power to ALLEVIATE
Colombian territory. The writer fur
ther explains what the COlombians real.
" desire about the canal lie says they
would like their country to hold a per-
manent interest In the enterprise as d
partner Of the United States deriving
an income that would benefit not few
officials and one political party but all
the people for generations to come
There Is no reason he thinks, why a
partnership Of that nature could not be
successfully carried out, in the same
way as partnership between ndvId-
uals, All details could be deliberately
and safely settled between the two
countries TO the entire satisfaction Of
both, bearing In mind that a century In
the life Of nation counts no more than
one year In the life of man. and that
the canal must be OF vast consequence
for ages. What would be Colombia's
contribution Of capital in this partner
ship beyond the grant OF right Of way.
Senior Perez does not explain And yet
that Is an important matter in a part.
