Judge Morrow has denied bail to the
Ave Los Angeles Chinese now at San
Francisco awaiting the decision OF the
United States Supreme Court on their
appeal from the District Courts decision
druying them writs of habeas corpus.
This makes curious complication. The
Chinese are at present confined in the
Alameda county JAIL though according
10 Judge Ross decision they cannot be
imprisoned, rs they have committed no
crime. They cannot be deported because
Of their appeal to the Supreme Court,
and they cannot 90 free because OF that
appcal. The Chinese will bring suit
arainst Marshal Gard for false imprlson-
ment If he releases them, he will be
puiltv OF contempt OF court OF the north
"rn district of California, which has re-
fuscd them bail. If he does not release
them, he is liable for damages on the
ruling of the District Court OF Southern
California that they are not criminals
and cannot be imprisoned.
Elmore, Sanborn & Co.'s fall salmon
circular, Just issued, says: cat Shoal-
water Bay and Gray's Harbor fish are
scarce. At Puget Sound they were run
ninc very slack until recently, when they
took squirt and came in in fairly large
ouantities. If dry weather continues,
the Puget Sound Gamers will have fair
mack, but even then it will be nothing
iike last years output. If the rains
come on early, the pack will dwindle
down to very small proportions indeed.
Ali the rivers south of the Columbia are
having light runs, which improved some
what during the late rainy weather. Ac-
cording to the latest reports Gray's Har-
bor has 1000 cases, Shoalwater Bay 200
cases and Tillamook 1,50O cases. The
quality of fall fish is about the same as
that OF previous years. At Siuslaw and
the Umpuua there has been n percepti-
hIe increase in size. No definite reports
are vet at hand from Coquille or Rogue
rivers. The fall fishing in the Columbia
is fairly successful. Only two cannerles
are running. The fish in Bakers Bay
for the last few DAYS have done well, and
the quantity of fish coming in, if they
ran in q small estuary, would give pros
pects of large pack. They are very
much scattered, however, in the Column
bia. The humpback variety are coming
in very large, many of them weighing
thirty pounds. The price ruling for fall
salmon this year is extremely poor, ow-
ing to the great quantities OF Alaska fish
now offered at $1.07R delivered in New
York. Fall fish will bring about $l.17h
delivered in Eastern States"
