Vancouver, B. c., July 24-The mill
tary has been called out to maintain or
der at the fishing village of Steveston, at
this city, where 1900 fishermen attached
TO the AZ salmon canneries are on strike
and are preventing 1900 Japanese and In
ddans from fishing. A requisition signed
by three Steveston magistrates was re-
celVed at Vancouver early this morning
and at a. m. two companies of militia,
members of which had been hurriedly
aroused. embarked on the steamer Co.

Westminster has also been ordered to
SteVeston. These three companies are in
charge of Lieut.-Col. Worsnop, who will
protect those mon union fishermen who
are willing to accept the terms offered
b" the Gamers of 20 cents per fish, the
strikers demanding 25 cents. Four thou
sand japanese have decided to go out
fishing to-day and many whites desire
to do likewise. The strikers have been
intimidating these Japanese and non
union whites and have threatened that if
they go out they will never return alive.
The strikers are we'll armed with rifles.
The Japanese state that they had waited
three weeks for an adjustment of diff

ers and as the latter refused every offer

and sell salmon to the canneries.
In addition TO the militia. the provin-

Later fifteen hundred Japanese started
out fishing from Steveston this morning
under protection of zoe militiamen
drawn up on the wharf. The strikers did
not interfere. Col. Worsnop, commanding
the troops, had announced that his men
had come there, not for amusement, but
for business; that each man had twenty
four rounds Of ball cartridges and that

JAPAN TO SUFFER
CHINA HAS BEEN HER MARKET
EXPORTING FIRMS MUST
CLOSE UP.

San Francisco. July H.-Shanghai and
Yokohama newspapers received by the
American Maru give some interesting
facts regarding the situation in China
and japan. Of the position of the for
eign colony in the British legation the
Japan Mail of Yokohama says:
This is time when to live in PekfN
at all is to suffer terribly from heat.
With 800 foreigners, including many
women and children, crowded in tie
British legation, and exposed to the con-
stant rifle fire of the Chinese the misery
must be great. The walls are nigh and
thick and the defenders must have been
forced to erect stagings on the inner side
on which rifemen could stand. If the
Chinese used artillery the gunners would
have to expose themselves to rifle fire
at short range. and this, with the num-
ber of good shots among the marines
would be attended with very severe loss
es. The gunners could not take up dis
tant position and lombard the buildings
effectively without destroying much Of
their own property. The provision ques-
ton is the worst. There are no ice
plants in the foreign legations and they
have been accustomed to depend npon
the Chinese markets for daily supplies

1.-The Japanese minister at Pekin at
tempted to communicate with Tien
Tsin after railway communication was
destroyed. He engaged a Japanese who
speaks Chinese fiuently, dressed him ii
Chinese clothing and hoped he would es-
cape molestation. The Boxers, however,
detected his masquerade, beat hin. se%
verely and would have murdered him had
he not escaped into a swamp where he
remained hidden for several hours, his
nose only being above the surface. He
finally reached Tien Tsin in terrible
plight"
The troubles in China threaten to bring
on a financial panic in Japan. China has
gradually become the greatest field for
japanese trade enterprise and the nrac-
tical closing of this market is bound TO
bear heavily on many large Japanese
firms. These firms are represented by
big establishments in Tien Ts1n and
elsewhere, and instructions have been
sent to the staffs there to close up and
return to Japan when the journey is
practicable.

CARDS all Chinese assurances as to the
safety OF the legation, whether from the
or the emperor himself, tainted with sus-

Communications have been exchanged in
the last 48 hours between the American en-
bassy and Lord Salisbury, special messen-
gers having gone with them to and from
Hatneid, but the nature Of the proposals

Whatever may have been the substance
q these proposals, it is certain that the

underestimate the extent of the task sci
for him by the president He is to act
as the eyes and ears of the administration
IN China, to make careful inquiry into the
existing conditions, to learn the exact
causes of the present uprising and re-
port the facts directly to the president
for his guidance in the ultimate settle-
ment and In framing his policy for the
future. This task will involve a large
amount of travel in China. Mr. Rockhill
is of the opinion that it will not be suf-
ficient to merely look into conditions in
Shantung province and perhaps in Pekin,
If he can obtain access to that capital
he also must visit other provinces
where there is disquiet and danger to
foreign interests and this will be fraught
with perhaps some personal risk. Bl
is regarded as a necessary undertakir -
the president is to be put into posses
of comprehensive undertaking of Chin
ese conditions. 1t is expressly stated
that MI. Rockhill is going ito China simply
as an observer for the president This is
technically the truth, but it also may be
stated that he will be entrusted with full
diplomatic pawer later on if it seems ex-
pedient and in the interest of an early
settlement of the Chinese problem to
have directly on the field an authorized
agent of the United States government.
1t is even probable that he will be the
next United States minister to Pekin il
Mr.. Conger has perished.
GERMANY MAY DO LIKEWISE.
+ 1t is gathered here that the German
government has done something of the
kind and although the assurances of the
death of the German minister to Pekin,
Baron Won ketteler, are so strong as to
leave no doubt of the fact of his death.
yet it is understood that the credentials
of Baron Won Mumm SchWeitzenburg,
now on his way to Tien Tsin, are as yet
only those of a diplomatic agent of the
German government. making his position
thus corresponding closely to that of Mr..
Rockhill. 1t is also noted that the Brit
ish government has taken similar action

having been British consul at akChinese

commissioner in Pekin as secretary OF

There is reason to believe that tn 9TH
er European powers having interests in
China will follow these examples and it
mission idea originally contemplated by
the United States as means OF settle-
ment of the Chinese trouble, may be ac"
ceptable to all concerned. 1t would seem

Special Commissioner Rockhill returned to

concerned The Chinese appeal is unques-
tionably an adroit production
and more sincere. that is the opinion of
the officials here who have studied both.
The president succeeded in asking for con-
ditions precedent to action quite as valua-
BILE as those laid down in Europe.
At the same time there is nothing, IN
the note to which the European chancellors
can object, openly at least. The president
expressly states that his mediation Is sub
ject to the approval of the powers. He will
not attempt to force it upon Europe, and
the Chinese government must produce the
ministers in safety.
Minister Wu declares that his govern.
ment will meet that obligation, in proof
which he expressed implicit confidence.
Certainly II the last promise Is baseless
the Chinese government Is party TO ON, one

In any case and as for Minister Wu, he
is so confident that the United States gov
ernment Is the only one in the world
which can be looked to for fair and friendly
treatment, that he has exhausted every
effort personally, by appeal, and otherwise,
TO save all the other foreign ministers in
Pekin If possible but at any rate to insure
the safety of Minister Conger.
The Sheng telegram was made public at
the state department in the following state
ment:

ment this morning July 2) and handed to
