SALMON In THE YUKON.
Fish Commissioner Asked for His
Views Regarding the Decrease.

Fish Commissioner Asked for His
Views Regarding the Decrease.
Major R. II. Wilson, Sth Infantry, com.
manding the post at Fort ST. Michael
Alaska, has reported that the Indians OF
that vicinity have had a very small catch
of fish this year, 1.-THE run of salmon being
next to nothing, and, in consequence the
natives are not ieprovided with the usua
stock of fish for winter use. The Indians
attribute the scarcity Of fish to the use OF
oil as fuel by tbs boats Of the Northern
Commercial Companys-plying on the Yukon
and ask that its further use be prohibited
Major Wilson saya that the general opinion,
spilled overheard by the boats can have no
perceptible effectDn the fish.
This report was forwarded to the War De-
partment by General Funston, commanding
the department OF Columbia, who request
ed it's reference to some scientific authority
for an expression Of opinion as to whether
the presence of petroleum in stream SO
large as the yukon would adversely affect
the salmon. He cites cases where oil has
leaked from the'ntanAs Of boats in. small
quantities and says that several white men
think that its presence is disastrous to the
very young fish. 1.-THE destruction of the
salmon in the Yukon" says General Fun
ston, "or any conditions that would cause
those fish to cease to visit the river for
spawning would be a most serious matter,
resulting in the starvation of hundreds of
natives along the lower course of that
stream, they being almost entirely depend-
ent on the salmon for their food supply"
Assistant Secretary Oliver of the War De-
partment has referred the matter to the
Secretary of Commerce and Labor request
ing its reference to the commissioner of
fish and fisheries for an expression of his
views In the premises.

PHILIPPINE coAsrwIsE LAWS.
Debate in the House Yesterday After.
noon.

After disposing of a conference report on
the army appropriation bill the House yes
terday afternoon tooA up the bill extending
the coastwise laws to the Philippines, and
by vote of 122 to 100 adopted special
I to dispose of this bill, after debate
of two hours. This debate was exhausted
save five minutes when the House adjourned
at $50 o clock
Mr.. Grosvenor explained briefly the neces-
sity for the bill. He said that unless the
bill was passed the coastwise laws would
go into effect the LIST of next July.
Mr.. Williams outlined the democratic OPP
position to the bill to be its tendency to
increase freight rates, while it would ben
eft neither the Filipino or the people of this
country.
Mr.. Lucking (Mich.) charged a violation
of agreement on the part of Mr.. Grosvenor.
I-e had, he said, been promised ample time
for debate and opportunity for amendment.
The rule gave neither, he asserted.
Mr.. Small On. Co. opposed the rule and
Mr. De Almond (Mo) followed up the criti-
cism of Mr.. Grosvenor and advised the
House to vote the rule down so that the
gentleman from Ohio may keep faith with
his colleagues on the committee"
Mr. De Almond said that a vote for the
rule was vote for Chinese seamen on
American ships and to prevent distinctly
American amendments to the bill.
Mr.. Goulden IN. " corroborated the
statement Of Mr.. Lucking about the agree
ment with Mr.. Grosvenor.
Mr.. Grosvenor proclaimed holly that
never before had he been charged with
varying from committee agreement. He
denied that any such agreement ever was
made as to the bill in question, but said 1t
was made as to two other bills which had
since Deen passed by TIE House. Even II
the agreement had been made, he said. a
subsequent understanding with Mr.. Spight
the ranking minority member of the com
mittee, abrogated 1t.
