Everything Lodz Discussion of the Question Is Probable. fiESULT TO ESTABLISH PRECEDENT Cleveland Does Mot Like the Composition of Committees but Will Not Mani fest Displeasure. Associated Press. Washington, March 17. The com mittee on privileges and elections held a session this morning lastln about two hours and a half. Only two cases were discussed, and that too In an In formal manner, those of Mantle and Beckwlth, appointed by the governors of Montana and Wyoming respectively. The question before the committee was whether It being tre beginning of the full term and the legislatures hav ing refused to elect, the certificates from the governors were valid, and whether the governors were authorized to appoint. The conditions In the case of Allen, of Washington, whose creden tials have hot yet arrived, are. some what different, but he result appears to be the same In all three cases, and It will probably be considered from the same basis. The committee is divided on the question, and the division not being according to party lines, there will probably be majority and minority reports, and this It thought will be the cause for a protracted debate with the end In view of establishing a precedent that shall hereafter be the law. The senatec ommlttee will meet again Monday afternoon and the two sena tors elect will be permitted to come before the committee and make such statements as they may see fit CLEVELAND NOT PLEASED.

Reduction That Does Not Reduce The lumbermen aud newspapers In tha I'uget found region, says ih Northwestern Lumberman, continue to Indulgte great expectations from what they consider a 40-cent rate on ship ments to eastern points. Evidently by Eastern points they mean St. ."aul, Minneapolis and Missouri river mar kets. They have a 40-cent rate only on fir In straight lots, In cars of 24,000 pounds minimum capacity and not -that beyond the Mississippi. To points jasl of that dividing line the rate on fir In cars of 24,000 pounds minimum mpacity Is 50 cents a hundred, which Is a reduction of 10 cents a hundred on -ild rates. That Is something, and may' , mcourage the shipment of fir lumber. But long fir timber shipments have received no encouragement from the new rates, because they require two or -more cars for' transports lion, on which -Ihe old rate of 60 cents a hundred is :hurged. The trouble with the new rates Is that they do not reduce where a re duction was most desired. The Pacific roods are not well equipped with cars of 24,000 pounds minimum capacity, and shippers will find It difficult to pro sure them this season. If they use cars of 20,000 pounds minimum capacity shippers will have to pay 60 cents a hundred to points east of the Missis sippi, and DO cents to Minneapolis and St, Paul on straight car loads of fir and the old rates on shingles, cedar and spruce, the very kinds of product for which there is the greater demand east of the mountains. The managers of the Pacific roads would have done something pro nounced for the Washington lumber and shingle trade If they had made a minimum rate on all kinds of timber, lumber and shingles In any kind of cars or multiple of cars. As the rates have been determined they have got the thing somewhat mixed. If there is anything on which shippers desired a reduction of rates It was long timber, for that Is Just the stuff that Is want ed this side the mountains for car sills, bridge timbers, and various uses that require sound, long and tough- timber, for which fir is admirably adapted. It cannot be shipped extensively east of the Mississippi river because the rate is so high aa to be nearly prohibitive. A reduction of rates on long fir timber would have been to some useful pur pose. Also, shingle shippers wanted a considerable reduction of rates, but they did not get It. Neither did the promoters of the spruce and cedar trade. It Is likely, however, that the rates will again be revised so as to more nearly conform to the exigencies of the coast business. As the rates are' now fixed they will be some stimulus to eastward shippers.
