DEATH TO INDIANS.
Forty Indians and White Woman
Killed by Landslide

Forty Indians and a White Woman
Killed by a Landslide.
NANA1Mo, B. c., Special Telegram, July
l3.-The steamer Princess Louisa, from
Skeena, brings news OF terri bic landslide
on the banks OF the Skeena river resulting
in the death Of one woman and about forty
Indians.
On the 18th inst, at a. M, those residing
near the North Petite cannery at Skeena
river heard great, rushing noise in the di-
rection of the high, steep mountain at the
back ofthe cannery
In moment ali avalanche Of rocks and
earth and trees was upon the doomed set
Element, carrying everything before it into
slough close to the cannery. The occu-
pants Of the houses had time to get outside
OF the buildings. but, be ore they could es-
cape from the advancing torrent OF debris,
were caught and carried along at a fearful
velocity. In all nine houses, with their oc-
cupants, were destroyed, including the mess
house aud residence Of the foreman of the
cannery.
In the mess room was the young Swedish
wife of the foreman. She was carried along
in the mad and deadly current. Indians
claim that among those DESTROYED were
about forty Indians OF the Port Simpson,
Sitka, Metlakatlah and Kitimat tribes, al!
of whom are surely killed.
Two days after the slide thirteen bodies
of the Indians had been recovered The
body OF the foreman's wife had not been
recovered, but there was not the slightest
hope for any living thing within the range
OF the terrible slide OF bouiders rocks, trees
and EARTH The slide missed the cannerv
buildings about two feet.
1t had been raining in torrents for the
previous four days, and it is thought that
the accumulation of water in the ravnes on
the mountain side broke Iaway, carving
death and destruction in its way. The In
dams are greatly excited over the disaster,
and are mourning bitterly for their dead

WASHINGTON for it's size, is small
place. Its street lamps are not lighted
on nights when the almanac says the
moon should shine, and as, even, in
Washington, the weather bureau isn't
on speaking terms with the almanac,
the results OF this custom are bad,
especially for the stranger. Then,
again, there are few shoeblacks; the
hotels do not all have them, and the
streets are not furnished with many
OF them. Even the clubs get along
without them. It seems logical to
suppose that everyone blackens his
own shoes. T. -.

per pound for her oolong or English
breakfast, she is buying what is sold
here for % cents. No really good tea is
sold here for less than 81 per pound by

ket at home it could not be sold for less
than $1.75.
This 81 tea is the usual article 70,

For the well-to-do, the official class and

Japanese Supplant the Chinese.

! A great many Japanese are and have
been working in the hop fields in Sacrc-
mcnto County. The Restriction act has
had the effect of transforming the meek
and lowly Chinaman from an humble and
submissive servant to a proud and i'm
pcrious dictator. A whim is enough to
throw gang of him into strike, and
to cross his purpose is to invite his ex-
pensive displeasure.
The Chinese on these occasions have
the best of it, because to permit them to
abandon fruit or hop crop in the midst
of gathering is more costly than to
yield to their demands. Chinese labor
is scarcer than it used to be and the cum
ming Mongolians are taking advantage
Of their position. The hop growers have
had experiences with the Chinese last
year and the year before, and flew to
Piutcs, and this season to japanese for
relief.
Last Summer the Chinese discovered
that hops had advanced in price. and
the coolies were quick TO take advantage
Of the opportunity to boost their wages.
1t is something of condescension now
a-days for Chinese to work at all In
this condition of affairs the Japanese
are dropping into the places that used
to be filled by the coolies.
The Japs are more docile and obcd-
lent lot. They are exceedingly polite,
and greet the ''boss'' of mornings with
DOTTED hat and bow. They are quick to
learn, diligent, and not very cxacting in
the requirements for their personal COM
fort. In fact, very little satisfies them
Where they work by the day they are
paid 81, but some of them contract III
at $27 month
In all cases the Japs pay their own
board Unlike the Chinese the japanese
readily adapt themselves TO the customs
Of the country. They wear civilized
and buy their food of American |
grocers and butchers. Thus far they
have been generally confined i'll their
work to trailing and trimming the hop
vines and similar work.
The hop men appear to be well salts
fed with the japanese experiment, and
say that they are unable to procure white
men to do the work that the Mikado's
subjects are glad to do. 1t is not I'M
likely that the dollar-a-d day feature of the
natter has something to do with the aver
sion of the ordinary laborcr to the hop
ield, besides the fact that white men are
arely equipped with housekeeping uten-
ills as the inferior races are, and they
will not herd together like the latter

UNCLE SANS FISH DISPLAY

corridor connecting the two
In the centre of the circular building

will disport. From the rotunda one side
of the larger series of aquaria may be
viewed. These will be ten in number
and will have capacity of seven thou.
sand to twenty-seven thousand gallons Of
water.
Passing out of the rotunda by the en-
frances q great corridor or gallery is
reached where on one hand can be viewed
the opposite side of the series of great
tanks and on the other line of tanks
somewhat smaller, ranging from $50 to
300 gallons each in capacity. The
corridor or gallery is about fifteen feet
wide. The entire length of the glass
fronts OF the aquaria will be about 575
feet or over 5000 square feet of surface
They will make panorama never before
seen in any exhibition, and will rival the
great permanent aquariums of the world
not only in size but in all other respects
The total water capacity of the aquaria,
exclusive OF reservoirs, will be 1925
cubic feet, or 10000 gallons This
will weigh 1892 ,425 pounds, or almost
GOO tons. OF this amount about 10000
gallons will be devoted to the marine ex.
hibit. In the centre salt water circula
ton, including reservoirs, there will be
about 10000 gallons. The pumping and
distributing plant for the marine aquara
will be constructed of vulcanite. The
pumps will be in duplicate, and will each
hove capacity of 5000 gallons PEI
hour. The supply Of sea wator will be
secured by ovaporating the necessary
quantity at the Woods Hall station Of |
the United States Fish Commission to
about one-tifth its bulk, thus reducing
both quantity and weight for transporta:
ton about 50 per cent. The fresh water |
required to restore it to its proper density
will be supplied from Lake Michigan. In
the marine fishes to Chicago
from the coast there will also be an adj
dition of probably 5000 gallons of pure
sea water to the supply on each trip.
