WARSA|PS TO LEAVE.
Sultan Grants American Demands
and "lncident" Is
Closed.

Constantinople, Aug. l5.-A salts
factory solution of the American school
question has at last been reach he'd
This matter, which is the most i'm
portant of the American demands, was
settled by extending to American
schools the same treatment as that &C
corded to the schools under the protec-
ton of other powers.
. A settlement of other matters affect.
ing American interests in Turkey Of
secondary Importance mas also been
affected, and Minister Leischman has
telegraphed to Rear Admiral Jewell,
in command of the United States
squadron sent to Smyrna, instructing
him to salute the batteries on land and
depart.
The sitting of the council of minis
tiers at which the settlement was
agreed upon was a long one, and it was
not until its close that an agreement
was reached. The delay in the settle
Ment is believed to have been caused
by the intervention of the palace func-
tionaries' whose policy, in order to re-
tain the sultan favor, consists of com.
batting the rights and privileges of
foreign residents.
Will Pay an Indemnity.
Washington, Aug. 15.-The main
object, which was to obtain from the
sultan positive pledge of the most IA
vored nation treatment for our schools
in Turkey, having been accomplished
by Mr.. Leishman, the presence of our
fleet in Turkish waters is no longer
necessary, and orders have been given
for its withdrawal
Mr. Leishman was instructed to Sc.
cure without delay such formulation
of his majesty's pledge as will secure
for our educational esta blishments
equal rights with those of France and
other nations.
The reply not only gives assurance
that no determinations shall be shown
in the future between American schools
and those of other nationalities, but in.
cidentally offers an indemnity in the
amount claimed, 5 900 pounds Turkish,
to an American citizen, Mrs. Lane, as
the price of property owned by her.
The indemnity to be paid to Mrs.
Lane closes, it is believed the only pc.
cuniary claim pending against the
Turkish government.

Sunk and Two Other Big Ships
Badly Crippled.

Tokyo, Aug. 1.-THE Russian ar
mored cruiser Rurik of the Vladivostok
squadron was sunk in an engagement
in the strait of Korea, which began at
O'Clock this morning and lasted until
noon. The armored cruisers Rossi and
Gromoboi escaped to the northward
heavily damaged. The protected cruis-
er Takeshiho reported by wireless tele-
graph to the admiralty at the Take
shiki naval esta blishment that Jap
anese naval squadron was engaging
the Vladivostok fleet off the Tsu
islands, in the strait of Korea, at 3
O'Clock this Sunday morning At
noon the reported engagement was still
in progress.
Tokyo, Aug. l5.-Russia is no long
or factor ON the sea. The annihila-
ton of her erstwhile formidable Port
Arthur fleet has been followed by the
Gripping of her only other effective
division, the Siberian squadron, which
for five months has terrorized shipping
in the Sea of Japan and in the Pacific
ocean.
In an effort to effect junction with
the Port Arthur fleet, which he had
ordered to make dash for the open
seas, Admiral Skrydloff put to sea early
last week with his three crack ships,
which had time and again emerged
from the net set by the Japanese. He
is now retreating as fast as his remain
ing crippled ships can carry him back
to his northerly refuge, after having
tested strength with the second Japan
ese naval squadron under the command
of Vice Admiral Kamimura.
One of his vess els, the crack armored
cruiser Rurik, of 200 tons, is at the
bottom of the sea and the other two,
the Gromoboi and the Rossia, are bad
ly crippled, and it is believed here
have lost fully half their complement
of men, and in the face Of the victory

ems and Game Birds.

ems ami Game Birds.
Tacoma, Aug. 15.-As the season
advaces and the broods of young quail
and grouse are able to take wing, the
coyotes are becoming very troublesome
to the breeders of poultry in the coun-
try near the city. Many chickens are
reported to have been caught by these
providers, who are most active in the
daytime and capture the chickens
when they ara feeding some distance
from the houses. To capture or shoot
the skulking coyote is almost out of
the question, for since he has changed
his habit from the sagebrush plains to
the forests of Western Washington the
exigencies of the situation have devel-
oped in him the slyness of the fox.
He can emerge from the forests and be
gone with his meal before even the
dogs are aware of his presence.
At night, however, he is the coyote
of the farther deserts and his uncanny
howl makes the night hideous for the
farmers and the residents of the sub
urbs.
Not the farmers alone, but the
sportsmen as well have grudge
against the unwelcome immigrant who
has found his way across the barrier
of the Cascades. In regions that were
once populous with grouse the hunter
may now walk for a long time without
finding game bird. The absence of
the grouse is charged to the coyote.
He not only feeds upon the small birds
when they are unable to fly but Gre
ates havoc by destroying the mother
birds when they are upon the nests.
The sportsmen of this vicinity are very
anxious that the legislature shall place
a premium upon the head of the coyote

FlSH AND GAME LAWS.
State Protective League Considers
Legislation.

State Protective League Considers
Legislation.
Seattle, Aug. l5.-Representative
sportsmen from all parts of the state
met in Seattle under the auspices of
the State Game and Fish Protective
Association. For seven hours they
talked game protection, and finally
adopted important resolutions which
will be incorporated in bills to be pre-
sented to the legislature at its next
meeting The meeting declined to
sink the identity of the organization
in the League Of American Sportsmen,
believing the present organization
could do better work as an independ-
ent body than as branch organiza-
ton controlled in New York.
Following are the principal points
to be embodied In the new game law
recommendations:
Creation of state game warden,
who shall also have control of what
are known as game fish. The assOci-
alton recommended H. Ref for game
warden.
One dollar hunters license to be
good in every county in the state.
Do away with deer bounding in West
ern Washington.
License guides $40 and make them
take oath of deputy gamewarden.
License taxidermists 81 and make
them take oath of deputy game war
den. The idea is simply to keep track
of them.
Bounty of 81 80 on cougar and tim
Der wolves; *2.5 on wildcats, coyotes
and lynx.
Use of explosives in fish streams
felony.
Imprisonment and fine of not less
than 800 for killing elk ont of season.
Prohibit use of salt ticks to entice
deer.
All permits for implanting fish must
come through state game warden. This
is is aimed to keep out the destructive
carp.
The convention thought it wise to
leave the laws relative to water fowl
just as they are.
Frank POntius was reelected presi-
dent and H. Ref secretary and treas
urer of the association.

Oregon Officer Begins Action Which
Will Settle Disputed Question.
Astoria, Or, Aug. l5.-Suit which
will probably definitely settle the
question of jurisdiction of the states of
Oregon and Washington over the wat
ers of the Columbia river has been be-
gun here at the instance of State Fish
Warden Vandusen.
The fish warden caused the arrest
of Alexander Grant, owner of the
Tongue Point SEEMING ground, under a
license issued by the Washington fish
commissioner. Grant refused to take
out an Oregon license. All other
seiners pay license to both states and
the titles to their SEEMING grounds are
secured from both states.
The boundary line between the two
states has never been settled upon,
each state claiming concurrent juris-
diction should be exercised, but the
matter of siening licenses presents the
matter in new light.
The case will probably be carried to
the higher courts and the question
finally determined.
