STRIKERS WON.
Alaska salmon Fishermen Gained
Concessions.


seattle, Aug Information of a
80 nature has reached here from
p p;stol Bay. Alaska, giving the details
st,ike among the fishermen of that
q, ,sao last month involving 700 men.
P pat canneries and fish packing
rv ,"hlisbments were involved. After a
t 81. 6oht lasting five days, in which
~, threats of violence were made by
i Ipa strikers, the employers acceded to
.ho;r demands, although by SO doing
. + cost of the fish was increased over
~ The strikers chose the most oppor-
.,na time for their strike. 1t was at
.ha time when the Alaska red salmon,
w.. W.. choicest of the fish produced in
Nnrtbern waters, was at its height.
Tho employers at first refused to grant
.ha demands of the strikers, which was
snr an increase of from to cents for
red and a payment of 2 cents for dog
saImon, which the cannery men have
heretofore rejected.
Asa matter of fact, the dog salmon
.rp practically valueless, but as the
strikers won the cannerymen must pay
cents for every fish of this species
taken by the gill meters. This, in
effect. brings the cost of the red salmon
10 the Gamers up to cents, which is
we'll nigh a prohibitive price under
nresent market conditions.
The Gamers lost between $500, 900
and $780, 900 by reason Of the strike.
The loss in the pack during the five
DAVIS of the duration of the strike was
NOT less than 100. 900 cases. This is
the estimate placed on the loss by well
posted local fish packers and is corrob-
grated by advices from Bristol Bay.

BUYS VALUABLE PRopeRrv
Northern Pacific Railroad Comnanv
Graspins Opportunities.

Seattle, Aug. BY the sala wb;oh
was consuinmated in New York. by "
Z. Uuerln, of the terminal propert;es
ana railroad and coal mining Interests
OF the Seattle and San Franciso RAILWAY
q Navigation Company, the old Seattle
warehouse and terminal properties in
tnls city consisting of line OF railway
crossing the bay, and warehouse and
much valuable tide land property in
west Seattle, become the propertv Of
the Northern Pacific. The deal in.
wolves property worth practically ST.
3OO 200, as the Leary coal mines are
also included. A new board of direct
ors of the Seattle & San Francisco Rail-
way & Navigation Company was elected
at meeting held in this city, whereby
=. ). Mellen. president of the Northern
Pacific, becomes president of the COM
pany and B. F. Bush, who has charge
OF the Northern Pacific coal mines in
the West, is elected vice president and
general manager.
Undoubtedly the deal which was
closed in New York at a meeting be-
tween representatives of the Northern
Pacific and Mr.. Guerin, means much
for Seattle. Through this deal, the
Northern Pacific becomes more heavily
interested in Seattle than ever before.
Moreover, the railway extending across
Elliott bay and formerly known as the
West Seattle terminal railway, occupies
most important strategic position,
lying as it does north of Railroad ave.
nue. and between that thoroughfare and
deep water. The tide lands across
which the railway to West Seattle ex-
tends, are being filled in and within a
few years there will be extensive ware
houses and deep water slips for the ac-
commodation of ocean going craft of
every description. Entry to these
wharves from Railroad avenue is only
possible by crossing the tracks of the
railway purchased by the Northern
Pacific.

APPEAL TO COURTS.
Shorts in July Corn Seek the
Aid of the Law to Break
Corner.

Chicago, July 31.-The ban of the
courts has been placed on July oats.
On the application Of Waite. Thoburn
& Co., one of the firms heavily short in
the July option, a temporary restrain
ing order was granted by Judge Chy-
traus, in the superior court, prohibiting
James A. Patten and associates from
continuing corner in July oats, and
from bidding up the price of the cereal
in calling for further margins. This is
the first time in the history of the Chi
short have resorted to the courts to
assist them in dilemma like the
present, and the injunction came as
decided surprise, although drastic
measures had been threatened to pre-
vent heavy loss. The injunction runs
against Darlington, Patten & Co. Def
ault of 5000, 900 bushels of short new
July oats. law suits and action by the
board of trade are seemingly the in
evitable results of 1.-The granting of the
restraining order.
Waite, Thoburn & Co., the firm that
requested the injunction, issued the
following statement tonight in explana-
ton of the course they have taken:
"For year or two there has been a
regular epidemic of manipulation and
attempted corners in the market on the
Chicago board, which have inflicted i'm
mense injury on the legitimate grain
interests of this city, and in the country
tributary to Chicago. These attempts
to squeeze the trade have now become
so extreme and so INSCRIPTIONS that it
has come high time for some one to
make fight and find out where the
trade stands. and whether it is to be for
all time possible for groups of million
aires to turn upside down the grain
business of the country, and infiict
heavy losses on the trade. We have
decided now to make a test, and find
out where the trade stands"

A NOVEL SUIT.

AL The political and railroad world
Is interested in q novel suit pending IN
Moore Superior court this week.
In 1900 Mr.. Seawell was the Fusion
candidate for Lieutenant Governor OF
North Carolina. He was not a judicious
speaker and some of his speeches gave
offence. He was billed to speak at Shell
by, made his speech, and as he was wait
ing to take the train when some boys
IT, Shelby pelted him with stale eggs.
(That was before eggs had reached
thirty cents a dozen). Mr.. Seawell has
brought suit for $4,000 DAMAGES, not
against the boys who threw the eggs, but
AGAINST the Seaboard Air Line Railroad,
claiming that he was on railroad prop
ertv and should have had protection.
If Mr.. Seawell wins his suit, cx-Sena-
tor Butler viii nave a claim against the
Atlantic Coast Line for the Logging he
rcceivc1 at Wilson, Ex-Governor AuSsell
against the Carolina Central for dam
ages sustained at MaXton, and various
other decayed politicians will be able TO
get damages occasioned by the peltlng
by ancient eggs.
