GtenDrchy,

Special Dispatch 10 the st-Intelligencer.
VICTORIA, B. c. July S--The Dominion
steamer Quadra, returning from the west
coast of Vancouver island today brings
word that the shore line all the way from
Djekleset to Cape Cook or Woody point.
is strewn with the wreckage of some large
merchantmen. while at the former little
Indian settlement doors. gratings and
large pieces of housework are piled up.
One OF the doors seen by the officers of
the government steamer was of solid ma
hogany. with silver fittings, evidently part
of a thoroughly first-class craft. while
from the Indians was secured a COMPARE
lively new life buoy bearing the name
"Glenorchy. Liverpool" This buoy, which
may be a clue 10 the identity of the lost
vessel. was brought 10 Victoria by the
Quadra, and delivered TO Collector Milne.
as receiver of wrecks.
There are only two Glenorchys known TO
shipping men here. and as one of these is
a large steamer plying between ports in
another hemisphere il is not likely that
the wreckage can be hers. The other is a
four masted iron ship Of 2,229 tons. COM
manded by Capt. Barron. which took a
lumber cargo at Port Blakeley in Decem-
Der last for Port Prize. and reached her
destination In Australia the following
March. The latest sdvices were that she
was berthed for the United Kingdom, but
it is presumed the orders were changed
and she was returned here only 10 go

PRICE OF FISH Is TOO LOW.
Indians on the Fraser Threaten to
GO Out on Strike.

VANCOUVER, C.. July s-A large
number Of Indian fishermen on the Fraser
river have struck. and Indications are
that a general strike may occur Owing
20 the low price o. salmon in the London
market. several Gamers reduced the price
TO cents per fish. The Indians refuse TO
work unless they are paid . cents per
fish
a general meeting OF white, Indian and
japanese fishermen VIII be held at Stoves
ton tonight TO consider the situation.
The meeting Of fishermen at Steveston
tonight was attended by over loo fisher
men. The question OF amount TO De paid
per fish WAS discussed AT length. and Il
was carried that fishermen demand l.
cents per fish for the whole season. A
committee was appointed 20 interview the
Gamers and have them sign an agrecme nj
20 that effect by Saturday. II the Gamers
refuse, a general strike will be ordered So
far the run OF sockcyes Is small, ard the
difficulty probably VIII be settled before
the biz run commences.
Gamers informed the Associated Press
representative tonight that not more than
10 cents per fish would be paid at any time
during the season. In 1898 wher the last
hie run occurred. salmon was quoted m
a the present time. YET the price paid per
fsa during that year was only cents. In
View OF the present depressed condition OF
the salmon market, Gamers consider the
demand of the nsheTmrn tor j. cents per
tsh out OF the que sliOn.
ftSh are not expected 10 run In any
numbers Tor ten days or a fortnight So
All agreeme nj probably will be- reached be-
fore then.

OLYMPIA. July s-A dispatch emanat

ing a comparative statement OF the *
penses OF the state government for the
months OF April and May of 1895 and the
present year one under Republican adj
mlnistration and the latter under the fu
sion party. makes the wildly ridiculous
statement that. because OF the discrep
ancy between the TWO totals, the present
administration is saving 10 the state s. 40
a day. The appended comparative report
OF the warrants issued by the state audi
tor for the month of June in TWO years
selected for the Popu!ist press, puts a
different face on the showing. and while
possibly less money viii be expended in
1897 ld 1888 than for the same period un-
der more prosperous times. the people can
not be miSled into believing any Such pre-
posterous statements as have been actuai-
~ given space in the papers mentioned.
1t is manfestly unfair 10 select any par
ticular two months IN which TO make
comparison of expenses.
Ii will be observed that III June OF the
present year there were issued 81 l6a Z

islature failed 10 make any appropriation
for, and the money viii have to be appro-
i1riated at the next session OF the legisla-
;are, as these certificates are for salaries
and other bona fide expenses of the state.
The largest item in the 1885 list is the
warrants drawn on the capitol building
fund. which should not be included in the
expenses of june, 1895. as II is in no sense
a charge against the state. but. is well
known these warrants VIII be paid out Of
the sale of lands granted by the United
States TO this state. 10 be used for the
erection OF capitol building, and no other
purpose. The holders of these warrants
