As TO whisky and beer. the consumption

ers guarded by the salmon strikers and
marooned on a small island In the Cult
of Georgia according to the official
statement of the union fishermen this
evening. The provincial police are try
ing to ascertain the location of this
island, for although the authorities do
not like to admit that japanese have
been spirited away in the manner
claimed by the strikers it is undeniable
that the Orientals are missing and the
statement that they are prisoners of the
union fishermen is generally accepted
as true.
The captive japanese, whose Offense
is that they fished when the union fish
ermen had declared a strike are being
fed regularly and will be kept prison
ers as long as possible. Others will be
put on the island as captured, provided
the present plan of the striking union
is maintained.
Frank Rogers, a prominent member
Of the Fishermen's Union was arrested
today upon the allegation that he had
been mixed up i'm the NARROWING of the
japanese at Bowen island on Wednes-
day night Joe Desplae, another union
leader, was arrested for the same rea-

DEAD LOCK IN CHINA.

PEKING, July 16.-The Ministers of
the powers now freely admit that the
prospect of conclusion of negotiations
is growing darker. The situation is
most serious as the deadlock has con-
tnued for more than a month. The
meeting arranged for today was post
poned because it was apparent that the
proceedings would be fruitless.
1t was at the meeting of July that the
Ministers had something in the nature
of an agreement as to the indemnity,
but almost Immediately a radical diff
ference developed between Great Bri-
tain and Russia as to the details of
the plan of payment. All the Minis
ters were in accord with the scheme
early in June, subject to the approval of
their governments; but Great Britain
diSapprOVed of the arrangement on the
ground that it did not adequately pro-
tect her commercial interests. The
neutral Ministers assert that either
Great Britain or Russia must make ma
terial concessions before a conclusion
Of the agreement is possible.
Meanwhile the committees of the
Ministers are working upon compare
lively unimportant details, such as inn
provements in navigation; but If the
financial question was settled the nego-
tiations could be closed in a day.
Ii Hung Chang keeps sending strenu-
Gus requests to the Ministers of the
powers to present a complete plan. He
represents that China is willing to &C
cept any reasonable terms, and is chief
ly anxious to know definitely what the
powers require. so that she may begin
compliance with the terms. The Min
listers regard newspaper accusations of
representation on their part as exceed
inglv unjust. The government and not
the Ministers are responsible, the Min
listers say. for the deadlock.
TIEN-TSIN, July 16.-The orders fo'
the departure of the Bombay Cavalry
have been countermanded, and the
strength of the British troops remain
ing here will be increased by 1000 men

WAYFARER'S NOTEBOOK
Linesmen Have Close Call

There are no doubt many persons
who appreciate the dangerous Occupa-
tion Of the electric light linesman as
he climbs among the wires that are
charged with the rapid death-dealing
fluid. II was but recently that the
Wayfarer was a witness to what al
most proved a serious accident to a
couple of these pole climbers.
During a recent wind storm tree
which was in the rear of the police sta
tion. and which was being used as an
improvised electric light pole, was so
damaged that it was necessary to re-
move the tree and erect regulation
poe.
Head Linesmen Lincoln and Jack
Carter were working with the wires
in the broken tree when Lincoln said,
Jack. hand me a piece OF wire"
In handing the wire Jacks knee
came in contact with Lincoln's, COM
pleung the circuit. There was some
thing doing at once. The shock hurled
Jack loose. breaking the connection.
It was a mercy that it did, for both
men would have been seriously in
iured. Jack had his spurs in the tree
and a safety strap around a limb. This
saved him from a fall and the wires
caught incoln's body. They con-
graduated each other on the escape
and continued to work.
