WOOL RATES AREIAssAILED.
Growers Petition for Reduction in
Tariff From Northwest.

Washington Inequalities in the
freight charges on raw wool from the
Western and Northwestern wool states
to Eastern wool markets, especially
Chicago, St. Louis and Boston, are the
subjects of complaint made to the
Interstate Commerce commission by
the National Woolgrowers' association
against the Oregon Short Line railroad
and many other Western and North
western railays.
1t is averred that wool rates are
unreasonable and discriminatory, and
the particular preference is given by
the roads to Pacific coast terminals.
The rates are asserted to be from u
cents to 10 cents too high, in compar-
ison with rates from other wool terri
tory. 1t is declared that the defend
ant railways are also violating the
long and short haul provision of the
law

TOWN DEFlEs INsURREcTos.
200 Rebels Fail to Capture Village
After Five Hours of Firing.

Parral, Mex. Demands of 200 or
more insurrectos for the surrender of
the town of Inde, situated several
hours ride from the national railroad,
were refused by the jefe politico and
as a result fire lasting five hours was
directed on the town. The insurrectos
lost eight men.
A boy was sent by the insurrectos
with message to the authorities ask
ing for surrender, promising no pillag-
ing was to be done. The boy was de-
tained and a short time afterwards a
few shots dropped into the plaza.
Just then the tri-color of the republic
was run up the pole by order of the
jefe as defiance to the invaders, and
then the firing commenced with vigor.

impossible. Therefore, he dismissed his

game forfeited to Willard

since the other leagues that play in
the vicinity of the Commercial League
grounds did not play, and also that
there was not a single amateur game

The heavy showers yesterday after

While enough rain fell downtown to
call off several scheduled games in
other leagues, the grounds at Petworth
were in good condition, no rain of any
consequence having fallen there.
Today's game between Petworth and
