declares that there is open violation of the
law against Illegal trapping Of the fish. and
insists that unless adequate protection is
afforded salmon fishing in Alaska will be
destroyed within ten years.
The War Department has not made the
complete report public but it is known
that Captain Elliott is not sparing in his
denuuciation of the Alaska Gamers. He
says: There is no inclination on the part
of The Gamers in Alaska to obey the law
or orders Of the Fish Commission. As far
as | could see there was no pretence to do
anything except to catch fish in whatever
mix Bay the fish are caught in traps, and
that it is only a question Of a short time
before the bay will be fished out He adds:
During the summer OF 1899 the special

placed in violation of the law, should not
be used
The boat OF the special Fish Commits
sioner had hardly got out OF sight before
a load Of fish from the same traps was
brought to the canneries and packed
He says further. that the Alaska Pack
ers' Association had at Nushagak immense
traps on the inside of the mouth of the
river. at which place it was reported that
700. 900 fish had been killed and destroyed
because it was impossible to can and ship
them before spelling He says he saw a
seine drawn directly across one river,
blocking it just the same as ii it had been
damned.
The report continues: AT every station
/ visited I saw illegal fishing on the part
of all large companies. The degree of the
evil was in proportion TO the size Of the
company and its opportunity. The most

enquiry am OF the opinion that fishing in
Alaska will be destroyed in ten years un-

Captain Elliott also made observations
among the Alaskan Indians and comments
upon the fact that no department of the
United States Government has any control
Of these Indians. He declares that they
are under the domination OF the Russian
Church and the personality of the Russian
priests The priest at Kodiak" he
says breaches sedtion against the United

difficulty would be to find such men in

PORTUGAL SENDS FORCES

Portugal is taking vigorous action
for the safeguarding of her ancient
foothold in the Orient. For more than
three hundred years the Portugue sc
colony in the Straits was the only Eu-
ropean possession in the Far East. II
occupies a small peninsula on the
southeast coast of China. a short dis
lance from Canton and Hongkong.
Makau is well fortified town. Tie
Chinese there have never given any
trouble. 1t Is therefore at present a
city of refuge for Europeans fleeing
from the troubles In China.
Nevertheless, owing to increasing
troubles in the south of China. the Gov
eminent of Portugal deems It neces-
sary to improve the defenses of the co.
lonial capital. The Don Carlos and the
Admastor second class cruisers, TO
gether with three gunboats have been
sent to Makua. Some regiments are al
so going out from Portugal which. with
the permanent garrison and the naval
forces. will make Il defending army of
five or six thousand men.
For the foregoing news the Bulletin Is
indebted to Senior A. de Souza Cana
