SALMON INDUSTRY.
Completely Demoralized on the Col
umbia River and No Sign
of Revival.

Astoria, Ore, April 19.-The condition
of the eastern salmon market is caus-
ing the packers much anxiety, and IN
less there is an improvement in the
condition of the canning industry Of
the Colum bfa river, it will be democrat
lied. No effort is being made by any
cannery to get the few fish which are
brought in by tie limited number of
boats out fishing, and instead of the
fierce competition usually witnessed for
the first fish of the season, there is a
disposition on the part of each packer
to find some excuse to send his fisher
men to some other packer to deliver
their catch. 1t is understood that a
mum Der of the packers have determin-
ed to close their canneries until the
market improves, and are offering their
supplies for sale at a price below their
cost.
The Fishermen's union will hold a
meeting tomorrow night to consider the
question concerning the Accent price
fixed by the Packers Association some
two months ago, but it is very certain
that the packers cannot, and major
ity of them will not, pay that price for
fish now. 1t is unlikely that there will
be any repetition of the disturbances of
last year, as the efforts of the packers
this season will be to avoid taking fish
rather than to make the large packs of
former years. After a careful review
of the whole situation, it may be sta
ted with absolute certainty that there
will not be a cannery in operation on
the entire lower river by the first Of
May if the price of raw fish continues
at 4 cents per pound.

M'KINLEY PAID THE BILLS.
Met All the Expenses Incurred on Ac-
count of His Trip on the Dolphin.

Washington, April 19.-Mr. Mckinley
paid all the expenses of the trip in
Cured on account of himself and his
guests during his recent excursion in
the Dolphin. The line between the dis
bursements made for the crew. borne
by the government, and those rendered
necessary by the visitors was strictly
drawn.
The vessel is always kept in readiness
for use. The boiler fires are not ex-
tinguished, whether the boat is lying in
the navy yard or not. There was there
fore practically no extra expense for
coal during the trip. The officers and
crew Of the boat are paid annual salaries
by the government, without reference
to the amount of service rendered, and
are also allowed full rations. The living
expenses of the crew would cOnse-
quently not be in the least increased
by active duty. A cook is carried as
part of the crew.
The president uses no wine, and is
accustomed to a very simple style of
living, and the sum needed to furnish
the table for the visiting party did not
exceed a dollar a day for each guest.
This would make a total for the five
days of but $40 No reduction in prices
was made.
It was the especial desire of the pres
ident that he should not be accused of
taking a pleasure journey at govern
ment expense. His wishes were car
ried out in every respect, and full pay
ment was accepted for everything
furnished himself and party.

TOO MANY COURTS.
An Effort to Rid Wyandotte County
of One of Hers.

Dissatisfaction with the appointment
of E. B. PfoSt as a. judge of one of the
new courts created by the last legisla-
ture in WyandOtte county, is respon-
sible for a united effort on the part of
Kansas City, Kan, attorneys to test
the constitutiOnality of the law, hoping
to have the two courts knocked out.
Pfost was the driver of the reform
school wagon during the Lewelling ad-
ministration and for some reason I'M
known made a good many enemies. al
though he is a hard worker in politics
and was one of Governor Leedy'S most
ardent supporters before and after the
state convention which nominated him
for the place he now occupies.
Pfost is particularly Odious to some
of the Kansas City Populists, principal
~ because he refused to abide by their
dictation in the late campaign and con-
Quoted his political affairs in manner
satisfactory himself. An effort was
made to prevent his appointment which
was unsuccessful. Now an effort is be-
ing made to get him out OF oflce by de-
strOying the law under which he was
appointed.
The law created two new courts in
Wyandotte county, having jurisdiction
in all cases except civil suits involving
one dollar. These remained within the
jurisdiction of the justice of the peace
courts. The contention is that the con-
stitution creates the justice of the
peace courts and that any action of
the legislature which in any manner
abridges or limits the powers of those
tribunals is void and in violation of the
constitution.
The case brought to test the law was
filed in supreme court by J. A. Smith,
the Populist lawyer. He petitions for
the release of Vint Greer from the
county Jail on a writ of habeas corpus.
Greer was arrested charged with steal
ing harness He was arraigned before
Judge PfOst and held for trial. Alleg-
ing that Pfost has no jurisdiction be-
cause of the unconstitutionality of the
law Smith asks for the release of his
client.

CASHIER TAYLOR RETURNS
Voluntarily Gives Himself Into the
Hands of the Law.

George A. Taylor, cashier of the de-
funct Argentine, Kan, bank who left
the state six weeks ago has returned to
ms nome, given himself up and is now
under arrest at Kansas City to answer
charges of having received money for
deposit when the bank was in a failing
condition.
Since Taylor left his home in Kansas
City, Kan, only his relatives have
known of his movements. He said that
he went to New York in the hope of Sc
curing employment of some kind, but
when he learned that a warrant had
been issued for his arrest he decided
that the only thing for him to do was
to return to Argentine and meet the
charge.
Il could not bear the thoughts of be-
ing branded as a fugitive from justice"
he said, land to have gone under an as
sumed name would have been equally
as bad
Taylor said that he went away be-
cause he thought that his presence in
Kansas City, Kan, and Argentine was
distasteful to his friends, and especially
so to the Argentine people He knew
that there was plenty of talk about his
transactions while cashier of the bank,
but he did not think that a warrant
would be issued for his arrest. He de-
claTeS that while times were hard last
autumn he had no idea except that the
Argentine bank would pay out all right.
He further declares that he is innocent
of the criminal charge.
In his letter to Marshal Richardson,
which was dated April II, without the
name of the town where it was written
Taylor said in part: Il read in the pa
pers today that you hold a warrant for
my arrest. This is the first I knew of
papers being out for my arrest I will
meet you at the court house in Kansas
City, Kan, at 10 o'clock Friday and
want to request you to engage a hall in
Argentine for Friday evening where
can address the depOsitorS, stockhOid-
ers and others interested in the bank
I want you to advertise the meeting as
much as possible and get everybody
there who can possibly come I don't
know much about law, but believe that
justice ought to allow me to speak,
even if I have to come accompanied by
an officer

WARNED BY BRITISH.
Halibut Fishing Forbidden Of British
CoIum oia-

Tacoma. Wash. April 1S-W N L4azier
one Of the owners of the American steam
er, Edith. which fished off the North Pa
citic halibut banks during the winter
says the nine officers of the Canadian
revenue cutter, Quadra. warned the ves-
sci not to fish off the coast of British Co.
lumbia under penalty of seizure, although
she was several miles beyound the three
mile limit.
Iazier says other American fishing YES
sells have also been warned. He claims
70 have reported the matter to the United
states authorities and IS awaiting adj
vices. He hesitates under the conditions
to send the vessel to the banks. The
greater part of the Eduh's catch was
shipped from Tacoma to New York and
Boston. The vessel might be sent out
from British Columbia ports under the
British flag, but the duty charged by the
United States on halibut caught by Brit
ish vessels would make the business of
catering to the American trade unprofits-
