Fish Commissioner Mcclure arrived in

office today, where licenses will be issued
to applicants Mr.. Mcclure has thus

which amount has been paid by fish deal

from Astoria fishermen, and Mr.. Mcclure
is at loss TO know the reason for this.
1t has been particularly desired by him
that local fishermen secure their licenses
as soon as possible as, should they
walt until the opening OF the season,
there will be an undesirable rush, owing
to the great number Of glllnetters in
this vlcinity. Just why the fishermen
have not made application for licenses is
not known. There is some talk OF test

the courts, but on what ground is not
stated. The law doubtless is regular and

TEN THOUSAND DROWNED
Another Awful Calamity Occurred at
Hankow.

Victoria, B. c.. Jan. 3.-The steam
ers Victoria and Yamaguchi Maru have
arrived with news from the Orient up
to December 10.
Another serious calamity, writes the
Hankow correspondent of the North
China Daily News, has befaIlen the
people of Hankow; about 10, 900 of the
inhabitants have met death by drown
ing. About noon December half the
storehOuses extending along the edge of
the river Han suddenly broke away and
tumbled into the water on top of all
the boats there. The houses and boats,
with all the people in them, dis.
appeared in moment, About 100
buildings and the same number of
boats are gone.
News comes of more murders of mis-
sionaries. The japanese Herald saws
an English missionary has been muir
deied by natives and soldiers at Using
Ping. French missionary has been
burned to death at Swallow, and a Ger
man miss ionary has been moItally in
jured in Shan Tung. The murder of
an American missionary, Mrs. Butter
held, OF Central China, is reported.
Advices state that since the attack
on the Russian troops at Andijan some
time back, discomfort and dissatsiac-
tion have been rife throughout the
province. This feeling has assumed
such proportions that the Russian au.
thorities have already strengthened
their garrisons. They have, moreover,
occupied the larger villages in force,
and superseded the civil by a military
administration. Not more than 200 or
800 fanatics were engaged in the attack
on the Russians, yet more than 1900
men were arrested on suspicion and
logged in order to extort information.
Not only were the actual malefactors
punished, but their relatives of all de-
grees We're also imprisoned. In addi-
tlonto this, a fine of 800. 900 roubles
has been inflicted on the district.

No Corner in salmon.

When the salmon pack on the Fraser
river was definitely announced this
year, a report was circulated to the
effect that an attempt would be made
by certain wellknown packers and cap.
itallsts on the Pacific coast to corner"
the market. "No such attempt has
ever been made to my knowledge, I"
says packer in the Vancouver (B. c.
Province. "The Fraser pack this sea.
son amounted to only 1877, 900 cases,
but still think it would be almost i'm.
possible to corner the market. Taking
into consideration the whole pack OF
the Pacific coast, it would require about
$3.50, 600 to control the market.
AS result Of the small pack on the
Fraser this year prices are sligh tly
higher. We do not look for much o.
an advance, however.

PROSPEROUS TO THE END.
The Old Year Goes Out with Business
Booming.

New York, Jan. 2.-Bradstreet's
says: Concisely stated, the reports re-
ceived as to the years business in all
sections Of the country point to an I'M
precedented volume of domestic and
export trade. which is reflected in bank
clearances that break the high record
of 1892. The general level OF prices of
staple securities at the close of the
year is at the highest point reached tor
five years past. Railroad earnings ex-
coed all previous years, and finally
there was a small number of failures,
and lower liabilities than reported in
any year for at least five years past.
These general results in the country at
large have been achieved, too, notwith-
standing the outbreak and conclusion
of foreign war, and in spite, also, OF
unfavorable conditions in some indus
tries, notably textile manufactures,
which, combined with unfavorable
weather early in the year. and the
lowest price for cotton on record, exer-
cised an unfavorable influence.
But the close of the year finds an i'm
provement even in these directions. and
returns as to retail trade and particu-
larry holiday business, are strikingly
good in all sections. Best reports as
to distributive trade naturally come
from the graingrowing sections of the
country, which were the first to meet
an improvement resulting from free
foreign demand for our cereals, but in
dlcations are not wanting that this i'm
provement is gradually percolating
throughout the entire business COM
munity, and coupled with the unprece-
dented export trade in manufactured
goods, and the fact that we are selling
So worth abroad for every dollars worth
we buy, renders possible the gains re-
ported in distributive trade of 1898
over 1897, ranging from 10 to 40 per
cent, with likewise good exports from
the manufacturing centers, excepting
the textile industries already men,
toned.
The export trade of the country for
the year. as above intimated, is the
heaviest ever known, and will probably
exceed $3.50. 900 in value, thus being
nearly double the imports. Our ex-
port trade in manufactured goods, it
must be observed. is the heaviest ever
known, and for the first time in
our country's history exceeded the value
of imports of similar goods.
There were IL ,G3S failures in the
United States in 1888, involving Iiabil-
tiles of S14l, 1877, III, decrease from
1897 in number of ll.2 per cent. and
in liabilities of 9.5 per cent. Com
pared with 1896 and 1895, the proper
ton of decrease shown is even larger,
as compared with 1896, failures were
fewer by 25 per cent, and liabilities
smaller by GA per cent. Decreases are
also shown when compared with 1891,
year of large trade, but of numerous
and costly failures; but COM
pared with 1892 there is an increase
shown OF ID per cent in mum Der, and
20 per cent in liabilities.
