GENERAL FREIGHT ADVANCES Kith Present Toanage Oriental Lines Say They Will Be Unable to Handle Much Freight at Present Rates. Prt-Intelllsrencer, The great transcontinental lines will have a meting of traffic officials In St. Paul in the near future, when a new schedule of rates from St. Paul to Seat tie, Tacoma, Portland and the ports in the Orient will be promulgated. 'As yet th-J date has not been definitely an nounced, DUt will ronow anuniy uner - - the return of Prudent Hi.! from New b red a more rapid movement of freight. The railroads say that notwithstand ing the fact that all annual reports for the past fiscal year show an Increased earning In all departments It is due solely to the volume of business hand-j led and not to the low rates that wen1 first Inaugurated during the financial depression of 1893 and 1894. These times they maintain, are now past and the general Impression Is that railroads Bhould share in the benefits. On many of the commodities .such as grain, grain products, lumber, canned goods and other products of the soil, the rat's. It Is said, will probably be advanced to a point corresponding to that reached about ten years ago. But not all wl!l go that high. The basis on which the advance will be made will, It is stated, be on as average increase of II per cent all around. The Eastern and Southern lines have already taken the initial step on grain for export from Atlantic points on a basis of 22 cents, which Is an advance from the quoted rates based on 20rents which have prevaiiea tor ine mi years. Prior to that time the rat' were based on 25 cents. The Oriental lines here and at other coast points are at this time expecting lares shipments of cotton to Japan and China ports. Their capacity for heavy f NEED OF PACIFIC STEAMSHIP LINES OUR TTADE IX THE ORIENT American Capital Must Provide Ton nage For the Pcvcluprmnt of the Trans-I'acific Business. York. This Is the same meeting that was called ana postponed some three weeks ago, and is the result of a pro test on the part of the Oriental Steam Ship lines, both Canadian and Ameri can, against the present percentage of west-bound rates they are allowed for the ocean haul. The meeting will be an all Important one to the Coast, as the traffic manag ers will not alone consider an advance on west-bound rates, but on good au thority it Is learned that east-bound rates wil also be sent up a notch. It Is expected that all lines of merchandise Will be raised, but just how much no one is able to prognosticate. The pres ent shortage of cars, the increasing rather than the diminishing traffic and the prospect of a large business for many months to come is taken by the roads us an excuse, for participating In the general prosperity of the coun try. All transcontinental linen have recently had representatives over their various divisions, and it Is said an agreement to advance has practically been rimue. so ihat there is very little likelihood of the plan falling through. In considering the advance an effort, It Is said, will be made to get back to the rates formerly prevailing. The movement will be a gradual one be cause shippers would probably not be willing to stand any radical iucreaK'-. Nevertheless it is conceded that so far as the Coast points are concerned shippers would be willing to stand a moderate advance owing to the pre vailing conditions regarding freight shipments In the grain and lumber llstrlctg and particularly if it meant the pressure of vessels for transport wrvice and all agree that in order to make the lines pay they must receive a greater per cent of the rates from shipping points. The Northern Pacific alone has been able to keep up Its ton nage by the leasing of other vessels but now no more large ships, suitable for the trade, can be procured and the fr'st must be made by all ocean lines of what tonnage they have. With the present tonnage the Oriental lines say that they will be unable to handle much heavy freight at the prevailing rates, as their capacity Is almost taken up. With an Increase in rates, how ever, smaller vessels could be put on temporarily and the b isinens k'-pt up with. A SHARP RETORT. From London Answers. I A well known dfan of Norwich tells I the following good story against him-1 self: Some few weeks agj he tame to a i utile In a field which was or-iipld by j a farm lad, who was eating his broad ; anVi bacon lun-jheon. I The boy made no attempt to allow his ' reverence to pass, so was duly lectured ' for his lifck of manners. ) "You seem, my lad, to be better fed than taught." ! "Verv likely." answered the lad, slic ing off a piece of bacon, "for ye teach es Oi, but Oi feeds meself." If you will always remember that, whatever you are doing, God stands by a.i d. witness, you will never err In all your acts. Chicago Times-Herald. The Washington correspondent of a New York paper claims to have Infor nation to the effect that European powers Interested In the trade of China will soon ask this govenrmemt to select a "zone influence" and a port In that empire. The occasion for this request Is as Bumd to be the fact that, with the United States occupying a base In the Philippines and holding Honolulu, Guam and Manila as Intermediary de pot', the trade of China and Japan will naturally tend toward un rru.ii- claco, no matter from what port or "zone of influence" It started. In view of our commanding portion at the gateway to the Orient the European powers will naturally be desirous that the United S'-ates shall confine Its com merce to a definite sphere rather than to become a dangerous competitor In all the open ports. If any request of this nature Is for mulated by the European powers It is pafe to say that It will meet with n prompt disclaimer on the part of this government of any Intention to ncqulre or control a particular "zone" of com mercial activity In China. The United Slates cou'l not afford to be commit ted In this nay to any partition of the Chinese empire. Such a policy could not be Justified by our government on the score of commercial necessity. Without any base of operations in the Pacific, anil with no Am'-rlean lines of merchantmen from San Francisco, we have built up an export trade with China which In 18M amount"d to $10, OM.OCO. The monthly summary of com merce and finance for September Is sued by the treasury department shows that our exports to China for the first nine months of this year amounted to $11,314,641, from which It is -safe to pre dict that the total sales i t Am'-rlean goods In Chino for the year 1899 will not fall below $13,000,000. The only Chinese "zone" that will pat isfy the United States is the Chinese empire. The United States Is in a po sition to demand an enforcement of the "open door" policy in all the ports of China for the entry of Us products. What we want Is not "zones of Influ ence" in China, but American steam ship lines from Son Francisco to tho Philippines and the Orient. We have already demonstrated th it we can build the best battleships in the world. If we can build such we. fighters aa the Iowa and the Oregon we can cunstruct eoually goul men hvvt vetm-ls. In a rerent trip ti the Pacific coast the edi tor of th Times-Herald found that San Franejsco men hauts .unl export ers had order for thousands of dollars' worth of goods for shipment to the Philippines and the Orient which they could not fill promitly becaue then' v.er no ships to carry 'he goods. With such vast trade opportunities opening up for Pacific coast cities, In the Phil" 'mines and the Orient It can U: but a question of a short time be fore American capital will provide American steamship lines from the Pa cific with od"uate tonnage for Its development.
