Japanese Are in Control.

Vancouver, B. c., July l0.-The Japan
csc are now in control of the Fraser river.
They won the fight during the night, but
it was bloodless victory, through the
clever tactics of the japanese. About
1900 japanese spent the night in fishing.
The union men organized a patrol of boats
manned by armed whites and Indians.
The japanese, however, had also organic
ed patrol, comprising much larger
number of boats comprising the largest
and fastest shipping boats on the river.
Each japanese boat cont aimed from to
10 armed Japanese, whereas the union
boats held each only half that number
Whenever union patrol boat went neal
the fishing grounds several of the Japan
ese patrol boats accompanied the oppos
ing boat, surrounded it, and simply

New York, July l0.-Americans who

ten made prisoners by the British will
have to endure their captivity until the
close Of the South African war, says the
Heralds Washington correspondent. Great
britain has declined to comply with the
request of this government 10 release an
American now confined in the island OF
Ceylon, and this refusal will probably
proye bar to further representations by
the state department in behalf OF Ameri-
cans captured as belligerents in South
Africa.
The test case was that of naturalized
American named Morgan, who claims resi-
dence in Virginia. Lord Miner, the Brit
;ah high commissioner in South Africa,
disapproves OF the release OF foreigners
who fought with the Beers. He has an
uounced that person who serves as
,elligerent with the Boer forces loses his
nationality and must be treated as an
enemy. This view is concurred in by the
legal officers of the state department.

Worlds Gold Output.

Regarding the worlds output and

serves:
The unfavorable result was due to
the small contribution made by the
Transvaal mines, a few only of which
were operated during the early months
OF the year. Deducting the Transvaai
output from the grand totals for 1899
and 1900 the statistics show an in
crease in the other gold-producing
countries Of $10,717 900. The largest
gains were made by United States. Can.
ada. Rhodesia and Brazil. while In
Australia and China there were import
ant decreases.
"1n one respect the gold situation in
1900 was unprecedented. 1t has never
before happened that the output Of a
great gold producing country has been
suddenly cut of entirely. or almost en-
tirely. The Transvaal, which produced
$78.070,761 in gold in 1898, was expect
ed to yield over $95. 100000 in 1899 and
out in October, 1899. and the total for
that year was 1881 ,5O1, while in 1900
the only production was from the two
mines which were operated by the gov
eminent in the opening months Of the
year, and this work was stopped when
the British armies reached Johannes
burg. Instead Of $11O000.000 the
Transvaal appears in our table for only
$7,208 1863.

pecting that the fellow would shoot, he
made no attempt to arrest him until
out OF the crowd on Lincoln street be-
tween Riverside and Sprague.
Il closed in on him." said McDer-
mott, "as we reached the Log Cabin
saloon. Here I asked him his name.
He started back with both hands in his
pockets, but l lost no time.
He was not an easy man to handle.
but | managed to get him down and
disarm him OF two guns, both of 80
calibre, and both loaded. With some
assistance got the handouts on him.
He certainly is stronger than the aver.
age man of so years."

busse displayed considerable nervous
ness, but gave his name and answered
all questions promptly.

son was pamphlet on hypnotism that
bore marks OF repeated use. He also
