NOVEL DEFENSE.
Case Against Alleged Fish Thieves
May Get to Federal Supreme
Court.

Whatcom, Jan. 5.-Attorneys Fair
child and Hardin have interposed a
novel defense for the men who are I'M
der arrest on charge of stealing fish
from the traps of the fishing companies
last fall. The case is one which may
work it's way to the supreme court of
the United States and bring squarely
before that tribunal the question of
whether or not fishing companies have
any right whatever to place traps in the
waters of Puget Sound.
The federal statutes prohibit the OBJ
struction of any navigable waters over
which the government exercises con-
troll, without consent being first OBJ
tanned from the proper authorities.
1t is claimed that tbs consent the trap
men have never obtained.
AS further defense it is contendetl
by the defendants that the fish having
never been taken from the water their
being taken by the fishermen is not lar
ceny, as the common law regards all
game as lawful property of whosoever
reduces it to captivity.

CHINA INDEMNITY
ACTION OF POWERS REGARDED
WITH CONCERN.
will Refuse to Receive Silver in
Payment OF Indemnity Danger
ritOry or Concessions from China.
Hague May be Suggested.

Washington, Jan. 5.-The state de-
partment has received confirmatory
advices from Picking of the declination
of the powers to receive their second
indemnity installment on the silver ba-
sis. 1t is understood that the decIina-
ton was not accompanied by threat,
but the action itself is regarded as sim
lister, if, as has been suggested, it is not
taken with view to making record of
the position of the powers in this mat
ter.
The situation is regarded here as
warranting some concern, though, I'M
less the Washington government is ut
terly to discredit every statement of the
powers in the past two years, whenever
the possibility of a division of China
came up, it cannot believe there is an
intention to proceed to extremes. 1t
isagain suggested that the time is ripe
for the reference of this important issue
to the Hague tribunal, consumlnation
devoutly wished for by China. and a
course which has commended itself to
the Washington government.
40 support OnIna.
The United States, which is interest
ed equally with the other powers in get
ting as much money as it can in the
shape of an indemnity, still feels bound
by moral law to support the Chinese
contention for the silver basis, looking
not only upon the language of the proto-
coils and the Picking treaty itself, but
also having a solicitous regard for
China's interest and perpetuity as ma
ton. The other powers are united in
settlement on the gold
basis.
This is an issue which, in the minds
of the officials here, is eminently adapt
ed to the methods of war. So far China
alone has suggested reference to the
Hague tribunal, but it is possible and
even probable, that if the powers are
going to extremes, the United States
government will seem bound to dis
charge it's duty under article q of the
Hague tribunal, and point the way to
arbitration.

MILLIONS STARVING.
Russian Government Face to Face
With a Serious Fam.
inc.

st. Petersburg, Jan. 6-The Russian
government is face to face with the
grave question of how best to feed 49,
600, 900 hungry peasants.
These distressed peasants are scat
tered over numerous provinces in Cen:
trail and Eastern Russia, and partly also
in the Southeastern and along the Vol
ga. In the greatest hurry the govern
ment has sent commissioners into the
famin } districts to make inquiries and
report. On the suggestion of Finance
Minister Witte, the government has
forwarded 81 200, 900 worth of rye to
the threatened districts, but there is an
uneasy feeling that it will not reach the
right hands. The government also
bought 81 100000 worth of rye and
wheat to be forwarded after the reports
are received.
The villagers are not only suffering
themselves, but their cattle are dying
by thousands, and their their horses
have to be sold, as they cannot feed
them.
The outlook for the spring blowing
seems hopeless. Many millions will
he needed for relief if the peasants are
to keep their lands in cultivation.
The worst feature of the horrible sit
uation is that some fathers of families
are seeking persons who will buy their
children. 1t seldom happens that a
boy is sold, but cases are becoming
alarmingly numerous of men selling
their women relatives for money enough
to buy yoke of oxen for the spring
blowing. In most cases the girls are
only too willing to go, for it means
warmth and plenty for them. The pur-
chasers are doubtful persons who have
been haunting the villages for months.
What becomes of the purchased girls is
not known, but it is feared that the
most of them become white slaves in
the villages of the provinces OF Damara,
SOmatOff and Perm.

BEEF COMBINE.
Special Commissioners Reports EN-
istence of a Trust.


istence of u Trust.
Jefferson City, Mo-, Jan. 5.-The re-
port of Special Commissioner kinley,
appointed by the supreme court to take
testimony in the inquiry into the al
legged beef trust, has been filed with the
court. The commissioner says the COM
panies did form a combine to control
the price of dressed meats, but that
they did not sell unwholesome or infe-
rior quality of meat. To this part OF
the report Attorney General Crow, who
started the inquiry, will file exceptions

CORPORATIONS WIN.
New York Supreme Court Says the
Franchise Tax is Invalid.

Franchise Tax Is InVanu.
Albany, n V, Jan. Cit is stated
here that the supreme court will with
in "a hours hand down a decision declar-
ing the franchise tax law passed by the
legislature of 1899 unconstitutional, so
far as it relates to the state cOnstitu-
ton. The decision is one of the most
important, both to the state and corpo-
rations, ever given in this state. So
far $12, 100000 in taxes is INVOLVED,
the state by the decision practically
losing that amount of money and the
corporations gaining it, while at least
81, OOO, 900 wear in future revenues
also is involved.
The constitutionality OF the franchise
law was attacked by the interested cor
porations, which operate forty-seven OF
the largest franchises in greater New
York, on two propositions, namely:
First-That it violates the home
rule provision of the stat" constitution,
in that it gave to the state board of tax
commissioners the mower to assess real
estate for the purposes of local taxa
ton, a power which is reposed in the
state board of assessors.
"Second-That it violated the pro-
visions of the national constitution,
which holds contracts inviolate made
between individuals, corporations or
other incorporated bodies.

OBJECTS TO THE HAGUE.
President Castro Wants American
Republic for Arbitrator.


Washington. Jan. 5.-The condition
which President Castro attached to his
response to the arbitration proposal of
the allies was in the nature of an alter
native proposition. Almost from the
beginning showing an aversion to the
Hague tribunal, Castro, while accept
ing the principle OF arbitration, asked
that the case be tried by one of the
American republics. AS President
Roosevelt had declined to act in the ca
pacity of arbitrator, and as some of the
reasons which inspired him in his dec
lination will apply with equal force to
the chief executive of any other Ameri-
can state than the United States, he
was obliged to withhold any indorse-
ment of this proposition of President
Castro. Therefore, it may be dismissed
from the field Of possibilities, and I'M
less Castro is unexpectedly insistent
upon his own plan, the original propo-
sition in reference to the Hague tribu-
nal will carry.
