Yokohama, Dec. 4, via San Frans:
cisco, Dee. 23.-Reports of poor
crops and prohibitive prices for
the staple native goods reached
the Hong Kong telegraph from all
quarters. Great distress is reported
from Annoy and Swatow, while sim-
liar accounts reach that paper from
Singapore and other southern
points. Kwangsi and Kwans Tung
have experienced similar failures,
with the result that the Canton sit
uation is very grave.
AS for the Philippines, the rice
crop in Pangasinan, Camarines and
other minor provinces has been
failure. Saigon, the chief export
ing port for the Philippine supply,
has also suffered in its crop, through
the drought, and the market there
has advanced practically 80 per
cent since the beginning of the
year. At present that district is
bare of rice and is trying to cancel
contracts. 1t is said that soon no
rice will be obtainable until the
new crop comes in February.

Victoria, B. c., Dec. 24.-The
steamer Amur, which arrived from
Skagway today, brought news OF
the massacre of Salmon Indians
and the murder of storekeeper
whose store was looted and burned
by Pelly Indians.
Dispatches from Dawson state
that the Little Salmon Indians
were on their way out to sell furs
when attacked by the Pelly In
dians. The Little Salmons were
encamped and they awaited the ap.
pearance of the Pellys without ex-
pecting danger. When the latter
were within short distance of the
unsuspecting Little Salmon In
dians, they yelled and einfultane-
ously fired their guns.
A number of the little Salmons
were slaughtered on the spot. 9th
ers were followed and killed while
they were fleeing for safety. A
small number of the party escaped.
The survivors returned to the home
village and the women and children
were hurried to the police post at
Taptalus for safety.
Hlttle definite news was received
regarding an attack on the store,
which occurred on Decem Der 1 F., and
vague news received by the police
says that the storekeeper was shot
and killed and his assistant, who
was wounded, fled TO the woods,
but being unprepared/ for the cold,
probably died. The store was loot
| ed and burned.
