Remark able Catch on
Fraser River This
Season.
One Corporation Alone Packs
Nearly a Hundred Thou
sand Cases.
Tons of the Humpbacked Variety
Thrown Out of the Traps to
Die on the MudfIats.

PORT TOWNSEND, WASH, Sept. r.
The greatest run of salmon ever known
in the Pacific Northwest has Just ended
and with it comes a cessation of the largest
corresponding packing of the toothSome
fish. Customs Inspector GeorIe III. Web
Der returned yesterday from Point Roberts
where he had been on special detail for
three months past, and in his official re-
port already fled here with the customs
service facts and figures are given which
prove that no such catch of salmon was
ever made before in the history of fishing
in the Ncrtnweast.
According TO Webber's statement one
concern alone, the Alaska Packing Com
pany, operating plant al Point Roberts,
put up this season %, 900 cases. which pack
includes sc, 500 fine fresh salmon. Lords
cannery at Anacortes was operated to It's
fullest capacity during the entire season
and put up perhaps three-fourths the
number handled by the Alaska Packing
Company. Together with these there
were about 225. 900 fish shipped and packed
at Seattle. 1t is conservatively estimated
that at the least calculation 500, 600 Sock
eve salmon were captured i'll the Fraser
River during the past season, which was
at its height from July u to Augusta.
While the prices for the season averaged
% and sometimes 30 cents for each
salmon, the oversupply this year has been
so great that the fishermen were glad to
get cents apiece for their fish. AS a con-
sequence the market prices of canned
salmon this year will be the lowest ever
known on the coast. The coming three
years will as a result ofthe great run this
season, be small, and the c&nnery men
expect the prices viii again reach the
Quarter-dollar mark.
Upward of 5000 men were employed
during the season, two-thiIds of whom
were japanese. A conspicuous feature in
connection with the big catch is that
humpback salmon by the hundreds OF
thousands were thrown out of the traps TO
die on the mudhats.
EWebber says that time and time again
he has seen the traps of the Alaska Pack
ing Company ill so rapidly that the re-
ceiver could not be kept clear, even With
the use of steamscoops

STOCKTON, CAL, Sept. I2.-The base
ball game at Goodwater Grove between

story told by the score. The visitors
showed that there were too many back

the first inning the Stockton men made
seven runs, each through errors of the
visitors. There was not an earned run
made in the inning.
After this the All CALIFORNIA; settled
down to play ball, and in the third inning
did some lively stick work for time,
managing to get three men on bases
They were doomed to disappointment,
however. as Chase settled down 20 work,
and Carroll, who was on third, was shut
out of run by Billings throw to home,
making three out. Alter this the game
was close for several innings, but the old
timers lost their grip again, and the
Stockton boys did as they pleased with
them.
Stearns pitched good game for the Wis.,
itors. but had no support. Moore was the
only one who Gistin uished him self, pick

cial 10 the Sun from Havana says: The
important town of Consolation del Sur, in
Pina- del Rio Province, was attacked
tfree days ago by insurgents and the
VI lole garrison of 200 volunteers from
havana was slain by the revolutonists
As soon as the terrible work was done
the insurgents left. a strong Spanish col
umn, which arrived some hours later
buried the bodies OF the volunteers. The
insurgents did not do much damage to the
town, but destroyed a great tobacco plan
tation in the neigh borhood and took away
all the cattle.
The garrison had been marked for death
by the insurgents for long time. They
were considered deserters from the Gu ban
army, most of them being native Cubans
who got good pay from General Weyler
and were especially employed because of
their knowldge of the country as scouts
for Spanish guerrillas in raidIng Cuban
hospitals all around that neig borhood.
Another train has been blown up by
dynamite by the insurgents between Pdso
Real and Herradura. Pinar del Rio prov

and fifteen wounded severely; also six
civil guards were wounded and eight pas
sen ers.
Near Whales, in the same province, the
Spanish battalion of San Marcial had
not engagement with the insurgents un-
der General Juan Ducasse, with heavy
losses on both sides. The Spanish COM
mander, however. reports only twelve
killed and twenty.nine wounded. The
Cubans claim TO have captured large
amount of arms and am munition.
In the two days of the bombardment Of
Las Lunas 325 Spanish soldiers were killed.
The exact numbc of prisoners held by
General Garcia was only seventy-five. The
garrison was composed OF 1900 men, not
