HOW sARDINEs ARE CANNED.


Now Imported.
Washington Star.
"Next to the French the American
people are the largest consumers of sar-
dimes in the world" said leading whole
sale dealer in such canned fish in New
York to the writer recently. Last year
the consumption of sardines in the
United States amounted to 100000
cases, or 200, 100000 cans. Of this guam
tity 1,4O0,000 cases were the product of
the State of Maine, 10000 cases were
| put up in California and the remaining
$4,000 cases came from France. Thirty
years ago all the sardines eaten in this
country were imported from France. To.
| day nearly three-auarters of the sardines
sold here are put up in 81 packing houses
in Maine. These concerns are controlled
by trust company, which employs 5000
workmen, who can turn out 1,5OO,OQo
cases of the fish annually.
"In Maine satdines are caught off the
western shores Of the St. Croix River and
Psssamaquoddy Bay. The fishing season
commences early in May and lasts until
late in the fall Of the year. The fish are
taken in brush weirs, resembling ordinary
pound nets, into which they are led by
means OF large leaders and wings, which
terminate in a funnel-shaped entrance.
Their escape is prevented by the extension
of these wings into the Enclosure, thereby
forming triangular hook at each end OF
it, so that the fish, as they circle inside the
weir, are directed past the entrance. When
the fish are plentiful in the nets quantities
of scales appear upon the surface of the
water. The nets are then lifted and theil
contents are dumped by the fishermen into
their boats The fish makeA little squeak
when taken from the water, and die
almost instantly. An ordinary catch Of
sardines gives to each boat anywhere from
1000 to 5000 fish, the price of which il

ALL LEAVING PEKIN
Even German Legation Will
Move Elsewhere.
TROOPS TO QUIT BEFORE WINTER
Chinese Capital Is an Empty Prize
Probably Last Aggressive Act
of the American Force.

Chicago, Sept. 25.-The Record has
The following from Pekin, under date
3f September 10:
Changes in the plans OF the allied
commanders indicate the evacuation OF
Pekin before the winter sets in. The
British leaders have countermanded the
order for extensive winter supplies and
the Americans are also making evident
preparations for departure. At the
same time all foreign residents have
been warned to prepare to leave PekiD.
The German legation will soon move
elsewhere and the Russians are already
withdrawing to Tien Tsin and differ
ent stations in Manchuria. 1t is also
extremely likely that the Japanese
will make the town Of Nagasaki their
winter base instead OF some Chinese
sown as was originally their intention.
The missionaries are protesting
against this ''desertion.'
From North China come reports OF a
long series OF disturbances. The at
tempted control of the local authorities
there is synonymous with anarchy and
the country is only safe where floats
the allied flags. Native Christians are
still being attacked and besieged in
many different places in the province
Of Chi Lii.
The allies are beginning to realize
that the city OF Pekin is, after all, an
empty prize. Communication between
the foreign forces. the envoys and the
empress government is next to impossi.
BILE. The new capital in the province
Of Shen 81 is 400 miles from Pekin and
the journey has to be made by cart,
which requires at least so days
There has been a change in the
American front in the direction OF an
aggressiveness which will probably be
the last important demonstration before
the evacuation. General Wilson, With
500 United States infantry. 800 Brit
ish and six guns, slightly aided by
German column, marched against the
Boxer city of Pei Ia Chu, 16 miles
northwest OF Pekin, and surrounded ii
with the intention of capturing an
arsenal there. A courier reports to-
day that General Wilson'S attack was
successful from the first. There were
no losses on the foreign side.
For the present all campaign plans
mean guerilla warfare. Both the mill
tary and the typographical situation in
China forbid anything else.
Efforts at pacification have resulted
in the return of small number OF peo-
pie TO business. The jealous guarding
OF the forbidden city by the allies
makes the Chinese believe that the
foreign leaders are afraid to desecrate
it.
The American authorities here in
tend to urge the severe punishment of
the persons guilty of the Pao Ting Flu
murders. Summary vengeance will,
If they can effect it, be exacted for the
slaughter of the Simcoxes and the
Hodges and PitkiH party.

robber made Cashier Nixon open the

They threw this into an ore sack, to-

office drawer. The robbers then
marched the five men out through a
back door to an alley, where they had
three horses waiting. The men we're
kept covered with guns until the des-
peradoes mounted their horses and es.

and several shots were fired at the
desperadoes as they sped through town,
but without effect. The robbers re-.
turned the shots, but no one was hit.
The officers and armed citizens have
started in pursuit and posse has also
started from Golconda to head them
off. The amount secured by the rob-
bers is in the neighborhood of $l5, 900.

Philadelphia. Sept. 24.--Tbe tragedy

and unexpectedly at Shenandoah this
afternoon. A posse, hnrriedly gathered
by Sheriff Toole Of schuylkill county,
TO meet an emergency, was forced 70
fire on mob that was threatening
workmen on their way home under es.
cort. A man and little girl were in
stantly killed and several others fell
more or less wounded. Sheriff Toole
lost no time In calling ON the National
Guard general to send troops to aid
him. After a consultation, the au.
thorities decided to send troops to the
turbulent region tonight.
Shenandoah's trouble was precipi.
tated by the closing OF six collieries
there this morning through the efforts
oil strike leaders. More will close to-
morrow as voluntary act, 1t 10 said.
on the part OF the Reading Company.
This is done at the request of Sheriff
Toole. who hopes in this manner to
avoid further rioting. The outlook at
midnight, however, is dubious, az the
foreigners are in an ugly mood after
the days happenings.
Elsewhere the situation is quiet, but
people are looking for an outbreak in
the Hazleton district. and armed sher-
iff's deputies are much in evidence
there.
The Reading Company has about
discontinued the sale OF coal for future
delivery, and tonight's rioting almost
certainly means the shutting of OF
coal handling all over the anthracite
field, at least.
