If Columbia river packers had i00,-
900 cases of salmon on hand they
would make some money just at this
stage OF the proceedings. For months
there has been no chinook salmon on
the market. and the sockeye supply
has likewise long since been depleted.
There remains only very moderate
supply Of Alaska salmon In first hands,
the quantity being much smaller than
dealers generally believe. Despite the

r. w. Keeper arrived In the city
yesterday from Portland with a war
rant sworn out OF justice Reid's court
for the arrest OF three sailors on the
| French ship La Fontaine, which is ly-
ing IN the harbor with cargo of grain
for the United Kingdom. The war
rant charged the men with larceny,
but the papers failed to state what
degree of the crime was alleged. KEEP
per reported to Sheriff LinviIle and
the sheriff took the special officer be-
fore Justice Goodman, who indorsed
the warrant and rendered 1t service
able In this county. The sheriff and
the special officer went aboard the La
Fontaine, where they found that the
three men wanted were in charge of
special deputy United States mar
shall. The sheriff displayed the war;
rant issued out of the state court, but
the special marshal declined to recog-
nlze It, He stated that he had the
three men locked up and handcuffed
on board, and that he was acting un-
der instructions from United States
District Judge Bellinger. He said he
believed his warrant from the United
States court justified his course in
declining to surrender the men to the
state officials. Sheriff Linville says
he did not feel that the situation war
ranted violence in getting the men off
the vessel so he came ashore and en-
deavored to place himself in communi-
cation with the United States court Of
ficials at Portland, However, he was
unable to catch them either over the
phone or by wire. The special mar
shall said he had been instructed by
Judge Bellinger to keep the men con-
fined until the ship got to sea. This
case is merely a repetition of numer-
Gus conflicts of authority which have
occurred between government and state
officials. The sheriff yesterday con-
suited District Attorney Allen and At
torney Fulton with reference to the
legal status of the matter, and both
lawyers advised him to be cautious,
as the maritime agreement between
our government and France might
easily be violated. There is a pretty |
well established belief that the prac-
tice of sending down sailors in charge
Of special marshals is irregular, and |
the local authorities hope to be able
to have the question settled some day
in definite manner. 1t Is probable
he sheriff will tomorrow receive word
from Portland as to the instructions
under which the special marshal is
lcting, and at that time determine up
On his future course.

AMERICA NCoAL FOR THE EAST.

Great force has been laid on the increase Of trade
that would surely come to our middle west and the
Pacific coast country in the event of actual fighting
between Russia and Japan and especially if the
war were to be protracted one The increased de-
mand for grain and provisions from those regions
would inevitably put general business into most
healthy and prosperous condition out there.
The east, too, would hardly fail to share in the
profits OF such war once it became an actuality.
The coal trade is conspcuously interested in the sit
uation the Orient. Even with Russia and japan
only in the shadow Of war, it has begun to sense
what would happen with the two fleets actually in
action. Both the United States and Great Britain
are already engaged in supplying coal to the pros
pectve belligerents. Contracts for West Virginia
coal have laterly been taken for delivery at the
Japanese coang stations. AS early as October last
according to an American authority in the trade
Russia and Japan came into the market for extra
ordinary supplies of Welsh steam coal and in less
than IA days 30 steamers were chartered for prompt
despatch to Vladvostok Port Arthur, Hong Kong
and Nagasak. 1t was not until about January |
however, that orders Of any great bulk were again
IN the market. These have come in quantity sniff

to be observed by q number Of workmen. The lat.
ter therefore eonnlve at what is really murdepus
threat at their own lives A sense of loyalty to their
fellows, refnembance of having broken the rules

indifference to their peril keeps them silent De.
lection and discipline are not practicable, the evil
continues, and finally day comes when a per cent.
age of fredamp is greater than ordinary Carless-
ness then leads to very different result
The responsibility of these terrible episodes does
not always rest on the miner alone Owners Of coal
mines are required by law to provide facilities for
ventilation and to maintain a close watch on the
purity of the air in their shafts and workings The
Cherwick mime, which was the scene of yesterday 5
accident, had a bad reputation for producing gas
In other. words, it demanded closer scrutiny than
many others. Only two and one half hours before
the explosion occurred an inspector reported every
thing safe down below 1t may never be feasible
to prove that he was mistaken, but suspicion as to
the thoroughness of his examination naturally arises
In mines of that character there must be times when
the situation is neither especially dangerous nor alto
gether safe. Occasionally, perhaps, an Inspector
will run a little risk rather than interrupt opera
tions. An error of Judgment in such contingency
would be attended with fearful consequences.

RUSSIA s FRIENDSHIP.

Is Russia the ardent friend Of the United States
that she has professed to be- or is she not One side
maintains that she is, and its representatives back
this view by declaring that the Museovite power
during the revolution by citing teh action Of Rus
sa in sending two or three warshps to this country
during the civil war and by her sale of Alaska Il
the American government On the other hand il
is maintained that Russia secretly urged George Ill
to put down the American 'rebes' with an iron
hand that the vessels that she sent here during he
civil war were some wooden ships that she feared
France and England might possibly pormce upon
if they were moved in other waters, and that she
sold Alaska to us because she was anxious to get
rid Of it.
The New York Commercial thinks is is matter
Of little practical moment just now whether Russia
has been sincere not in her professions of friend
ship for the United States. Individual Judgment
on this point may lean one way or the other and in
dividual sympathies be swayed accordingly. But
in the event of war between Russia and Japan, but
one duty win devove on the United States govern
ment regarding its attitude toward the combatants,
namely, the maintenance Of absolute neutrality
Our government officially occupies the same posi-
tion toward Russia and Japan-that Of friendly
power-and per contra Japan and Russia each oc-
cupies the same position toward this government.
We may or may not like some things that Russia or
Japan may have done or left undone, but our formal
relations with both remain practically undsturbed
and it is our business as government to see that
they continue to remain So
The only excuse for adopting different course
would be some overt act that would imper Ameri-
can interests the lives and property of American
citizens. The United States has certain rights in
the far easA which Japan, Russia, China and Corea
are solemnly pledged to respect and failure to OBJ

THE cHEsw1cK NINE EXPLOSION

Accidents Like that which imprisoned $50 or more
miners in suffocating gasses in western Pennsyl-
vania yesterday, are almost invariably due to some
body's carelessness, says the New York Tribune.
Firedamp will not explode unless it is ignited. and
it is usually ignited by miner who uncovers the
blaze in his lamp. Inasmuch as the offender and
most of the witnesses Of his conduct are generally
killed. it is rarely possible TO learn all Of the crcu
stances which led up to such disasters It is useless
too, to think Of punishment when man has already
paid for his mistake with his life There is reason
to suspect, however, that the rule regarding lamps
and matches are violated frequently when the
amount Of explosive gas in the mine is not enough
