SEATTLE. May 2-tSpecial. THE war
between the regular rranspacific steamship
lines and the tramps took another turn
this last week, when the rates made by the
former were cut from $50 to 81 for flour

last three weeks six independent charters
have been made by the agents acting for
the tramp steamship at rates running from
s2.l5 to S2.5O. The vessels will take cargo
for oriental ports thar ordinarily goes 70

pacific Freight association TO not only meet
the tramp rates but to go under The as
socistion mas trump card up its sleeve
in the shape OF general agreement among
the five lines the Great Northern. Boston
and Nippon Yusen Kaisha. the Waterhouse
lines and the Canadian Pacific. to lower
the rate 10 81 ton for all general freight

this rate IL viii be almost impossible for
the tramps 70 stay in the business as they
cannot operate at a profit at that rate
The regular lines viii. OF course. lose a
great deal OF money but as the owners
are well able 10 stand the loss il is
predicted that the tramps will be driven
out OF business OF compelled TO come into
the assooiation One result or the new

advantage OF the cheap transportation and
