Potter, former superintendent of the

South Chicago, to the effect that iron
ore could be laid down at Portland
from China and Mexico at a cost that
would enable manufacturers. If they

about one-third that of the old meth

Lionel PHILLIPS
BA.DL Y WOUNDED
South African Magnate Shot
Down in Street.
EXPECTED TO RECOVER

Attempted Assassination Believed to
Be Outcome of Bitterness Aroused
Against Mine Owners by Settlement
Of Recent Strike.
johannesburg, Union of South AT
to assassinate Sir Lionel Phillips, the
leading gold mining magnate of
South Africa. Three shots were fired
at him. One bullet lodged in his neck
and another in one of his thighs. His
condition is declared to be not grave.
The would-be assassin was arrested
The attempt was made while he
was walking on Commissioner street.
It is supposed to have been an out
come of the bitterness aroused
against the mine owners owing to
the dissatisfaction of the miners in
connection with the conditions of
settlement of the strike movement in
September. w.. T" ar-...
At that time a series of riots &C.
Cured in which about 100 miners
were killed and many wounded.
The grievances of the men were
chiefly concerned with the great NOR
tally in the mines and the refusal Of
the mine owners to recognize the
! unions. They were eventually forced
to accept the owners terms.
Sir Lionel Phillips was closely iden-
titled with the late Cecil Rhodes and
Alfred Belt and he is partner in the
firm Of Wernher, Belt & Co. He has
lived in johannesburg since 1889.
In 1896 Sir Lionel was sentenced to
death at Pretoria for participation in
the jamestown raid, together with
John Hays Hammond, George P. Far
rar and Colonel Frank Rhodes. The
sentence was later committed to a
fine of S125,000 and Punishment.
The assailant Of Sir Lionel Phillips
was later identified as a Dutch store
keeper named Nissun.

the freight transported, or to be trans
ported, is of carload or less than car
load quantity, provided the aggregate
weight is not less than 5000 pounds,
and said charges shall in all cases. be

the freight charges accruing under
the authorized freight rate applicable
for the transportation of the COM
modify or commodities shipped be-
tween origin and destination stations,
provided that the net transportation
charge shall not in any case, by such
absorption be reduced below $3.50 per
car. This minimum of $3.50 per car
will not be observed where the trans
portation haul is performed by the

One of these surveys runs northwest
