Asks Commerce Commits
sion to Restrain Roads.

Portland. Ore. Sept. 9.-The Oregon
state railroad commission, at the instance
of the Oregon and Washington Lumber
mems association. tonight sent a petit
ton to the interstate commerce commits
sion at Washington, ID. c.. requesting
that the interstate commerce commission
restrain the transeontinental railroads
from inaugurating the prospective raise
m railroad rates on eastward bound fun.-
Der until after the interstate commerce
commission has Investigated the merits
of the increase.
The Oregon railroad commission sets out
that there is S5G.000000 capital invested in
the lumber industry of the Pacific north
west and the proposed increase in freight
rates in some cases amounts to % per
cent. It AYERS that the increase IS unnec-
essary and unjust and will inflict a Sc
we're blow to the lumber industry. The
commission petitions the interstate COM
pnerce commission that if. after fnvestiga-
ton, it finds the Oregon commission S
views correct, and if the interstate COM
merce commission has the power to per-
manently prohibit the increase being
made.
The railroad commission has also ad-
dressed communications to the railroad
commissions of Washington. Idaho, Mon
tana. Colorado, Wyoming. North Dakota
South Dakota and Minnesota. calling at
tentiOn to the fact that the increase in
freight rates will cause a radical increase

OUTBREAK HAD
BEEN EXPECTED
British Officials Not Surprised
Over the News of Riot
ing at Vancouver.
CANADA TO PAY DAMAGES
REPORT TO JAPANESE CONSUL
GENERAL.

London, Sept. 9.-The news Of the
attacks on the Japanese and Chinese at
Vancouver did not surprise the colonial
and foreign officials here. who had long
expected an outbreak against Asiatics in
Canada, but they have the greatest con-
fidence that Canada will he able to sup
press any further outbreaks. At the same
time the officials realize that a most
serious problem has arisen, particularly
as the feeling appears to be strong
against the subjects of Great Britain :
eastern ally and that it will require most
careful handling, for whatever action Is
taken is likely to be resented, either by
the colony or by Japan. The question has
been the subject of considerable discus
sion for some time by the imperial au-
thorities, who have used their good Of
fees on numerous occasions TO prevent
the enactment of anti-Japanese legislation
by British Columbia. 1t is understood that
the matter was discussed at length dur
ing the recent visit of the colonial pre-
miers to London. Australia being as much
opposed to the admission of Asiatics as
are the Canadians. No steps were taken
at the time, however, and the subject was
allowed to lie until the agitatiOns were
revived
All the cabinet ministers are out Of
town at present. but the colonial and for
eign offices are seeking to obtain all the
information possible on the subject of the
Vancouver outbreak, with the view of
taking some action. the nature OF which
II is difficult to surmise.

at the KnutsfOTd, and instantly Mr.. Pin

But what about the adverse resolutions

remains that a big delegation of Arizona
