EXCITING EVENTS.
Plenty OF Fish in the River Discovered
and Animated Discussions OF the
Situation.

Early yesterday morning a number OF
fishing boats put out from the shore, said
TO have been about thirty, and they were
observed later TO be buslly engaged in
fishing About noon they returned ana
were met az Booths dock by a large
crowd OF fishermen. many OF whom did
not understand wha; the move meant
Inquiry revealed the fact that they had
gone out TO procure ,fsh for their own
use, and incidentally 20 learn whether
there were any fish in the river or not
The large catches returned evidently sat-
isfed all In regard 10 the latter question
II was rumored that there were so many
fish that some had TO be thrown over
board. II was also stated that one man,
using an old piece OF net as a set net
caught twelve or fifteen fish in very
short time Inquiry az the union head
quarters ELECTED the Information that the
men were fishing entirely for home con-
sumption, and that there were only seven
boats out. They stated that there was
no question about there being plenty or
FISH In the river.
Mr.. b. A. seaborg. tre well known
canneryman OF Ilwaco, was over yester-
day and while passing several groups OF
fishermen on the street. he stopped to
explain to them the situation. Quite a
little meeting was held at u o'clock at
the Western Union telegraph corner, ana
later In the afternoon. when large
number OF fishermen were gathered on
the steamer Ilwacos dock. Mr. Seaborg
went up TO the men and addressed them
both In Finnish and in English. From
the best information obtainable, it seems
that Mr. Seaborg endeavored TO explain
his position on the fishing question ana
advised the men as to their own folly.
The men gathered about him. received
his remarks at first with laughter. ana
treated the matter as a Joke. This some
what irritated the speaker, and per-
sonal encounter was prevented by the
Intervention OF n bystander Ten or hf-
teen minutes later Mr.. Seaborg was in
the midst OF another group, and soon the
discussion became rather warm. Fearing
trouble. Deputy United states Marshal
Stewart and Constable oberg led Mr..
Seaborg out OF the crowd and took him
to the Oceident hotel large number
followed. laughing and making fun OF
the whole affair. They said they only
wanted TO josh the old man. but the
opinion prevailed among many that trou-
BILE might have ensued But for the prompt
action taken.

One Of the Largest and Most HarmO-

Secretary Instructed to Receive No rropo-
sitiOa Looking to Compromise.
and to Call No Special Meet

sidera were not admitted 10 the meeting,
but after It's close. On officer OF the
union reported that their deliberations
had been OF the most harmonious char
acter. and that they had simply passed
a resolution to the effect that there were
no grounds for reseding from the original
position taken by the order concerning
the price OF fish. IL was reiterated that
tho packers must pay i've cents per
pound for fish. or the fishermen would
not go out Instructions were also
given to Secretary Jensen 70 reject any
and all propositions looking TO a COM
promise upon the question: and that he
should not call any special meetings or

RULES on THE ROAD Ar sEA.
Changes Proposed BY the British Dele
gates Accepted by tie Americans and
Congress Promptly Informed.


Washington. June SIT now rests with
congress- whether the changes proposed
by Great Britain In the new rules Of the
road at sea shall be accepted by the
United States.
SO far as the American delegates TO the
international marine conference are con-
cerned. the changes proposed are consid-
cred satisfactory, and they so expressed
themselves In a report to Secretary Olney
today. accompanied by a bill containing
provisions for altering the rules as de-
sired by the British delegates. The meas
ure was sent TO congress by the president
this afternoon, the haste used indicating
the desire OF the administration to put
the rules In operation as soon as possible.
The administrators friends intend TO
push the bill through as rapidly as pos
sible. so that the president can officially
promulgate the rules this summer. Great
Britain and the other nations will prob
ably proclaim the rules for the guidance
OF vessels flying their respective flags at
the same time.
In accordance with the suggestions of
the British delegates three OF the specifi-
cations of Rule Is. have been combined
into one so that only one signal-one pro-
longed blast followed by two short ones,
when employed in laying an ocean cable
and when under way and unable to get
out of the way of an approaching vessel
through not being under command or
unable to maneuver as required by the
rules. The signal Is TO be sounded at in
tervals OF not more than two minutes
In addition to this change the British
delegates propose to do away with sep
arate signals for vessel at anchor at
sea, when not In ordinary anchorage
grounds and in such position as to be-
come an obstruction to vessels Under
way. This provision applies particularly
to vessels lying in narrow channels, like
the end of Long Island Sound and certain
parts Of the British channel
The officials hope the PRONUNCIATION by
Great Britain and the United States, and
in fact, all the countries of the world,
win be made by the beginning of fall.

FINANCIAL CONDITIONS,

New York, June 6-The Financier says
this week:
The loss In cash can be accounted for
in figuring the net gold exports and then
the bank payments into the treasury,
but on the other hand the receipts have
averaged $S,O00,O00 weekly from the In
terror and the treasury disbursements
have also been heavy. Statements for
several weeks past have shown that funds
were accommodating In New York and this
is therefore to be regarded as favorable.
Further payments of government deposits
into the treasury will exert a strengthen
ing influence. although bank clearlngs
over the country showed that money is
not in active demand to the extent OF
suffering rates, and in certain sections
the expansion OF loans was bright spot
in an otherwise dull and fruitless period.
Loans OF the New York banks have in
creased $s1. 5000 in the four months end
ing today.

Special to the Astorian.
Chicago. June GA gang OF desperadoes
who have been the terror OF the West
side. committed another robbery tonight
by holding up a store full OF people ana
escaping with 500 In cash. The store
was general merchandise establishment
at 18th and Halstead streets. The place
is generally crowded SATURDAY night
When the three men entered, about
O'Clock. no particular attention was paid
to them
Two OF them went to the desk OF the
cahsier and each produced two revolvers,
which they pointed at the cashiers face.
The cashier is a young lady. They de-
maEded all the money she had She re-
fused to pass out the money, and, while
threatening to kill her II she screamed,
keeping his revolver leveled at the girls
head, another robber grabbed all the
money he could lay his hands on, pushing
1t into a bag. and the trio started toward
the door.
Many people who had witnessed the
robbery made a motion as though to
stop them, but they kept the crowd back
by threatening them with their revolvers,
and as they neared the door the third
man turned on an alarm OF fire, and in
the confusion all Of the men escaped.
The robbery was committed in the pres
ence Of fully 200 people and on a crowded
and brilliant y lighted street.
