JAPANESE FISHERMEN.
Complaint That They Arc Despoiling
Our Western Waters.

The Japanese are great fish eaters,
very large share of their constant diet
being dried fish. Recently the Russian
government shut down on the japanese
fishermen off the coast of Siberia, ap-
parently in retaliation for the expressed
antipathy of the Japanese to everything
Russian. The Japs had at once to Sc
cure fish from elsewhere, and we among
others considered it our opportunity to
develop that branch of our business.
Large dry-salteries were established on
the coast of Alaska, where we put up
the cheapest fish at ridiculous figures.
The sales were at first satisfactory, and
then the JapS took it up. This season
neither we nor any other concern is
selling a pound of the goods over there.
The Japs themselves have swarmed into
British Columbia, and unless they can
be dislodged neither Canada nor Amer
lea will get one cent out of all the mil
lions of 'chum" salmon bred in our wa
ters and now being fed as a daily diet
to the Japanese in Japan. These Japs
put up temporary and cheap quarters
during the summer and fill them up
with Japanese fishermen and mechanics.
Japs catch the fish. for which they pay
nothing. Japs salt them down.
Japs make boxes of Jap-Sawn lumber
and rail them together with japanese
nails Japs load the boxes on to Jap
anese steamers, and the banking eX-
change is done through Japanese banks
solely. When the season is over the
Japs disappear, not leaving one cent for
all the fish they have taken away, for
even their food supplies are Japanese,
too, Just as are their nets and their
clothing. Thus in two years promls-
ing industry is nipped completely, and
of an offering of 200 tons this season
we have not been able to sell single
salmon. If we were to allow them to
come over here and do the same with
wheat and flour. growing the grain on
government lands, as they are catching
their fish in government waters, the
flour business. too, would soon be nip
ped off in the same way. AS Canada
gets no more than America now out of
the business the upper countries shoulu
mite in the suppression of foreign eX-
ploitation of their fisheries, just as
America has already done The Japs
would not be allowed to carry on their
business in Alaska waters, and Canada
has no interest in fostering a trade so
valueless to herself.-Tacoma Ledger

PENSION LIST
Of the Spanish War Has Reached
$2,7OO,OOO and Is Growing Fast.

Although the precise statistics for the
last fiscal year have not yet been tabu-
lated the data at hand go to show that
the pay roll of pensioners on account of
the war with Spain now approximates
81, zoo, 600 Compared with the grand to-
tai of $137 900 900 that roughly represents
the annual disbursements of pensions on
account of all wars. this seems an in
significant sum. But when it is remem-
bered that the Civil war alone engaged
the military services of more than 2,213,-
900 men, and that of these only LIZ 900
survived the close of hostihties, whereas
the war with Spain engaged fawer than
275 900 and the losses by death fell short
of 5000. the proportion of pensioners for
the less bloody contest al arms assumes
a larger Importance. The war with
Spain is not yet five years past. At a
corresponding distance from the close of
the Civil war the disbursements for pen
sions were a little more than 1929, 351 900,
and this included the pensioners of the
Revolution and all the other wars
through which the country had passed.
The total number of individual PEN
sioners created by all our wars down to
the spring of 1898. and still on the roll,
may be stated in round numbers at $780,,
O0O The total created by the Spanish
war to date will be found, when the full
figures are in, to exceed 1880 The
Civil war ended thirty-eight years ago,
and the the pension roll in 1866, repre-
senting all wars to that date, contained
126.722 names. Assuming the list charge
able solely to the Spanish war to grow
in like proportion-and such things, in
a country where the citizen soldier plays
so considerable a part in politics, never
move backward-we may look for a PEN
sion list in 1897. due to the Spanish war
alone. of III. 007. or. roughly, four PEN
sioners to every ten men engaged; a
very large percentage, in view of the
non-hazardouS character of much of the
campaigning
At what a pace the pensions of the
war with Spain have swelled may be
seen at glance in the following table:

MAKES THE MOSlEMS LAUGH
They Scoff at the Idea of European
 Intervention in Turkey.
A Specimen of Turkish DupIicity in Connection With the Dismissal
 of Rechid Bey.

Beirut. Syria, Wednesday. oct. 14.- The apparent indifference of the Euro pean powers to the recent outbreak Of Mohammedan fanacticism here has deeply impressed the Christians. The Moslems, on the other hand, are elat- ed, and scoff at the idea of European intervention. The attack on the Chris tians was planned weeks befor the arrival of the American warships at Beirut. The then governor, Rechid Bey, telegraphed the details to Constantine pie and asked for instructions. None, however, reached him. That his policy of non-interference was approved at the yildiz kiosk was apparent from tele- gram, signed by the sultans chamber lain, which was handed to him on the eve of his departure after his dismissal from the governorship on the demand of the United States. The telegram follows:
 Your excellencys fidelity being well established in the eyes of his most sa- cred majesty. the kaliph, you should not allow yourself to be in the least af- fected by the fact of your dismissal. It is his majesty's imperial will that you return at once to Constantinople in or der to be the recipient of imperial fla vors."

4 GENERAL STRIKE
 MAY bE ORDERED
Unless Other Companies Stop Hand
 ling Pacific Business.
NEW MEN DESERT AT SEVERAL POINTS
Officials Declare They Win Shortly Be Atle to Handle Their Business With Promptness-Pubic Greatly lnconvenienced.

St. Louis, Oct 19-Members of the Brotherhood of Railway Expressmen declare themselves well satisfied with the progress of the strike of employees of the Pacific Express Company in St. Louis and which has been aug mented by employees in Missouri Ar. kansas, Louisiana, Kansas, Indian Territory and Texas
 Officers of the Pacific Express Com. pany state that their business is not suffering to any great extent from the strike One difficulty the express company has to face at present is that the local combination" man, who knows the combinations of the incom, ing safes. is among the strikers. The safes must remain locked until an ex. pert combination man is found.
 At the headquarters of the express men. President Modie of Chicago to. night stated in effect that unless other express companies stopped handling tonnage for the Pacific Express Com. pany. a general strike would be order. ed among the employees of the differ. ent companies who are members of the brotherhood. He intimated that such step might be taken soon, un. less assistance to the Pacific compa. ny is stopped, but would not discuss the matter further
