The American LEGATION

on the south side Of Legation street, just
beyond an old marble bridge that crosses
the canal, IL lies In the shadow Of the
great wall Of the Tartar city. The Chi
nese cannot understand, and have never
ceased TO wonder and speculate, on how
one who lives so simply as the American
minister can exact such consideration and
respect from the ambassadors of the other
Powers who maintain court with Oriental
splendOr in the ma gniheent old palaces OF
the Manchu princes.
Some have complained that life in Pc
kin was almost exile. For many years il
was comparatively quiet The ministers
had little to do looking after the interests
Of their governments, and there were few
complaints from their citizens engaged in
trade throughout the empire. The de-
lightful summers were spent in the old
temples on the famous western hills over

that was to be found. In the winter time
the succession of state dinners and lega-

held in the skating Kinks, which were
made by flooding the tennis courts in the
legation grounds and housing them over
with sheds Of bamboo mating

nese soldiers from provinces where for
eigners were unknown began to make it

of its companions will go to its assistance
and together they will bring it in.
II the Chnaman wishes to catch tur-

of its head a long disc or sucker by
which 1t attaches itself beneath moving
objects such as sharks whales. and the
bottoms of ships rather than make the
effort necessary to Independent movement.
The fisherman fastens the remora to a
long cord tied TO brass ring about its
tail and when he reaches the turtle

keep il from the bottom of the boat
When turtle passes near the remora
darts beneath him and fastens to his

not loosen the grip Of the sucker and

line. bring the turtle up to the boat and
take him aboard.

In this country the fisherman is a man
who uses hook and line or the net in fol-

FISHING As 4 FINE ART.
Progress of the Catch In the Nicin-
ity of Anacortes.

Special Dispatch to the Post-Intelligencer
ANACORTES, June 26.-The fish traps.
located near this city, are making good
catches on Friday the Fidalgo Island
Canning Company brought in about TWEEN
~ tons, mostly spring salmon. although
there were about LOO sockeyes. The Ro-
sario Straits Packing Company this even
ing brought in all their scow would carry.
about ten tons. and left their traps pretty
well stocked for lift tomorrow, when
they will send out more scows. The Ana
cortes Packing Company brought in goo
sockeyes last night, and today the can
merry was started for the first time this
season.
A sea lion got into the pot Of one Of
the Fidalgo cannery's traps today and,
as a result, salmon kept away from that
trap The number of new trap locations
made this year in the neighborhood OF
this city is surprising even TO those who
thought they knew we'll theswaters of this
section and where the salmon usually
run. Some OF the traps may prove OF lit
tie value but others are looked upon as
well located, and calculated to catch many
fish. The White Crest Canning Com
pany is putting in some new traps that
are expected TO give good results, and
Currie, McWilliams A. Fowler, a Fraser
river firm that has lately acquired site
here for a cannery. are driving traps
and putting out web at various points
among the islands.
