AT ACTUAL WEIGHTS
RAILROADS CONCEDE DEMANDS OF
LUMBER SHIPPERS.
Where Cars Are Loaded to Wis.
IDLE Capacity Actual Weight
Will Govern Freight Charges.
Concession Will Likely End
Long Controversy.

Seattle, July 25.-The minimum
weight controversy which has occupied
the attention of lumber and shingle
manufacturers of the Northwest and Of
railroad men for nearly three months,
has been settled. The railroads have
conceded the particular point for
which the lumber interests have all
along contended-that when cars are
loaded up to their full visible capacity
the actual weight Of the load, and not
the minimum, ~shall be the basis of
the freight charge. This, together
with the concessions granted by the
railroads at the conference in st. Paul
early in June, according to represen-
tative lumbermen, constitutes salts
factory adjustment of the controversy.
Lumbermen have estimated that the
new schedule, without these provi-
sions, would have meant an annual
loss of half million dollars to them.
The news of the railroads move
came yesterday in the form of tele-
gram from j. q. Woodwork, traffic
manager of the Northern Pacific, to

pers. who has had this minimum
weight matter in charge. The tele-
gram follows:
"Encoraged by much improved load.
ing of cars during past sixty days and
evident disposition of lumbermen to
cooperate in our effort to stop under.
loading, we have decided to incorpo.
rate full visible capacity rule in tariff
effective August /, subject to final
minimum weights as shown in present
tariff. Otherwise no change is made
in tariff which was published to take
effect July To-"
While the matter has yet to come
before the lumber men and shingle
men in their meetings for definite
action, it is Mr.. Whites opionion and
that of other shippers that there is nc
question that the proposition will be
accepted, as it is practically all the
shippers were contending for.

STOLYPlN Orders
Stern REPRESSION

St. Petersburg, July 25.-War to
knife to the hilt, was the proclama-
tion made yesterday by Premier Stoly-
pin in a telegram addressed 10 the gov
ernors general, governors and projects
throughout Russia and to the viceroy
Of the Caucasus, who are ordered to
strike and spare not in their efforts to
preserve order and crush "the enemies
of society,"" Included in this cate
CORY, as shown by the events of the
day, are not only revolutionists and
Socialists. but also the educated lib
eral and landed classes represented in
the Constitutional Democratic party,
whose clubs everywhere have been
closed. The progressive newspapers
are not permitted to lift their voices
anywhere throughout the entire land.
Premier Stolypin's telegram is as
follows:
The Stolypin Telegram
"In conformity with instructions
from the emperor, with the view to
securing full cooperation between the
different local authorities, hereby
inform you that the government ex.
poets you to exercise vigilant and un-
firing supervision over your ubordi.
mates so that order may be promptly
and definitely restored. Disturbances
must be suppressed and revolutionary
movements must be put down by all
legal means.
1.-The measures you take must be
carefully considered. The struggle
begun is against the enemies of soci-
ETY., and not society itself. Conse-
quently wholesale repression cannot
be approved of. lmprudent and lille,
gal acts are likely to give rise to dis
content instead of conducting to calm,
and cannot be tolerated.
Cars Intentions lmmutable
1.-The intentions of the emperor are
immutable. The government firmly
desires to assist in the amendment of
the legal procedure and the laws hith-
erto enforced, which no longer serve
their purpose. The old regime will
be regenerated, but order must be full
ly maintained. You must act on your
own initiative, as you are invested
with responsibility. Firm and vigor-
Gus steps taken in these lines will
doubtless be upheld by che best part
of society,""
The manifesto bears remarkable
similarity to the earlier compositions
of Minister of the Interior Plehve and
Bouligin. and the reactionary press
has had slight difficulty in cutting it
down, as they already had done with
the previous days imperial manifesto,
into an appeal to the League of Rus
sian Men" and other old school Rus
SLAMS to rise and smite all the progress
sive classes.

marching and thence to the cemetery.
Lrancraft's Drum corps furnished mu-
sic. Previous to the start, flowers had
been brought to Polar Star hall, where
they were made up into bouquets by
many women. The fine weather was
the occasion of the assembling of many
hundred people in the cemetery, where
the usual G.. A. r. exercises were

There was a special meeting of the
Ecclesiastical society of Pilgrim church
last evening to settle the matter of the
new chapel. The building committee
reported through its chairman George
M. Baldwin, recommending that the
original plan be accepted. This plan
provides for bringing the front Of the
chapel out several feet beyond the
church line, hut this is necessary in Or
der to secure the amount of room nee
essary. Some objection has been made
to this plan by several residents on
Lenox street. Mr.. Baldwin stated that
the committee could not do any better
under the circumstances. If the chapel
is not set out beyond the present line,
$40 square feet of space will be lost on
the floors. He said that the committee
had full power to build the chapel but
1t had thought best to report back to
the society. There was some further
dis cussion. and the stand taken by Mr..
Baldwin was fully supported. On mo-

was instructed to go ahead and build
