RESTORE FORMER RATES.
Arrival of Kansas City Means Old
Fare to Frisco.

PORTLAND, May 15.-On the
arrival of the Kansas City from New
York, it is reported that the passen-
ger fares between Portland and San
Francisco on the Hartman steamers
will be restored to $40 and SIS, the
same rate as charged by the North
Pacific Steamship Company, operat-
ing the Roanoke and Geo. w. Elder
out of here in the coastwise trade
The fare on the steamers operated by
the San Francisco & Portland Steam
ship Company was slashed more
than a year ago, in order that they
might compete successfully with the
large number Of steam schooners
running out of here to San Francisco,
which were carrying passengers for
s. and $l2. But owing to the Fair
and other attractions on the Coast
this Summer, it is claimed that the
steamers will be unable to take care
of the heavy traffic, and the old rates
might as we'll be restored. Storage
passengers on the Hartman steamers
are now carried at S. The Kansas
City is expected to arrive the first
week in July, Until then the State
of California will be kept on the
route.

WASHINGTON. May l5.-Aftcr
the rcsul, OF several conferences the

from June ist TO July ist as the time
for the taking OF effect Of its decis-
ion in the Spokane rate case. The
railroads involved are the Northern

ompany, Oregon Short lane and the
Chicago & Northwestern. Each of
the companies were today notified OF
the decision and also the assignment
OF the case for hearing on June g.
The railroads will on July lst put
into effect, in accordance with the
decision Of the commission, what are
known as class rates from the Pacific
Coast points to Spokane which are
| l6 2.3 per cent lower than the pres
ent rates, but not as low in proper
ton as those ordered by the commits
sion. Commissioner Prouty stated to-
day that the commission had declined
to express an opinion either way as
TO the reasonableness OF the reduc-
ton in rates from the Pacific Coast
and the commodity rates from the
east to Spokane and that the ques-
ton had been deferred for future
consideration. The purpose of the
proposed hearing is TO allow any pos.
sible objection that may be made to
the filing of the rates on the short
time notice.
