Hazard, who has been foremost in ar
ranging for Senator David B. Hill to visit
this state during the trip Of the senate
committee on territories. has received the
following letter from him:

Sir: Your recent letter was duly received and

Mr.. Hazard has had considerable cor
respondencs with Senator Hill regarding
the proposed visit. and until the receipt Of
the letter this afternoon. expected that he
would come. Mr.. Hazard will now
abandon the proposed visit to Salt Lake
City to meet Senator Hill and the commit
tee. and escort him to Washington.
Sam vinson. Of North Yakima, was to-
day appointed by Marshal Drake ~ chief
deputy United States marshal for Eastern
Washington, to succeed c. r. Chamber
lain. Mr. Vinson has his commission
and will assume the duties of his oflce on
Monday morning. Before Martin Ma
loney came out Is . leading candidate for
marshal, Mr.. Vinson was to be candidate
for that place. but when Mt. Mal0ney
took the bit in his teeth, Mr.. vinson
dropped ont. and it Is understood that he
would be Maloney's deputy were the lat
ter appointed. Mr.. Vinson 10 Tllicum in
the best Of standing. During CleveIand's
former term Vinson was a special agent of
the general land office. with headquarters
at North Yakima. He was born in Wayne
county, w. Va. forty-,hree years ago.
Before coming to Washington fourteen
years ago he Was dealer In lumber and
general merchandise. He engaged in the
hotel business on coming to this state, aud
built the Cakes house at Cheney.
James c. Saunders did not arrive here
this morning as was expected. While the
Tillicums have the pins set up for tho
naming Of James Dorsey as Mr.. Saunders
deputy. there is another line of Democrats
at work who want Frank T. Smalley
named as deputy collector. Mr.. Smalley
is on the Griggs black list. but has not
been obnoxious to the Tiilicums. Many
moons ago the "kid" element took it into
its head to duh Mr.. Sm.lley one Of the
''old war horses" but he has never by his
activity in the Griggs ranks merised that
designation. He was brought up with
Henry Drum back in Girard. ILL.,, and as
chairman OF the state committee it is
limited that Mr.. Drum might ask for this
favor for SmaIley.

Fraser River TishePmea Hold Large
Meeting and Pass Resoistions.
WEsrxrSsrEn. Il. c.. June Especial i
A monster meeting Of the Fsshermen's
Association was held in the opera house
sanighs to discuss the wholesale natural
szation Of japanese and Chinese for the
2arpose of getting fishing licenses. Sew
eyal able speeches we're made by fisher-
men. and J. G. Brown. q member Of the
:psovinciai parliament. pointed out that
.iiey were gradual being crowded out OF
the fishing business and starvation stared
zhem in the face. Though there are now
8. canneries on the river and the biggest
pack on record Is expected to b made on
che Fraser river this year, not one white
sisherman had been employed to date by
:he canneries. The Japanese who were
going to take their places were herded out
oy the big Japanese companies. Inside
the canneriss no employment would be
given to whites except to managers and
!oremen. 1t was also pointed out that the
native Indians, who have had big share
OF the fishing in the past, are being sup
planted by japanese.
The law says that aliens must be in the
country three years before naturalization
bat the speakers said that they were pre-
pared to prove that hundreds Of Japanese
*ho had only reached the country within
i few months had taken the oath of allie
glance and licenses had been bough
Scr them by the cannsrymen. The
meeting passed resolutions asking the
Dominion government to refuse licenses
TO- japanese and Chinese and issue the
esme only to whites and native Indians.
There was great enthusiasm. and the fish.
esmsn are deeply in earnest. for prospects
