Satisfied that they had secured all that
Garrison had, the robbers told him to go

JAPS' CANNON
STOPPED HYADES

The Boston Towboat company's steam
ship Hyades has arrived at Tacoma from
Chinese and japanese ports with about
900 tons of cargo, the lightest she has ever
brought from the Orient. About IS tons
of freight was discharged at Victoria B. c.,
and the remainder, consisting of straw
braid, leather, cloth, paper goods bamboo
poles, sulphur, cocoanuts and a lot of
curios for the st. Louis fair is being
unloaded here today
The passage from Yokohama was made in
Is days and hours. Near the Shantung
promontory, in the passageway between
Korea and Japan. the Hyades was held up
by japanese auxiliary cruiser. which
fired shot across her bows. She lay to
for about three-quarters of an hour and
then, thinking that all was wen, proceeded
on her way, when the ,Japs fired two more
shots, this time little closer She stop

came abOaord was quite indignant that
the Hyades should start after the first
order to stop was given After examining
the ships papers and cargo in looking for
cOntraband goods she was allowed to pro-
coed, after delay of two hours and half
Members of the crew report that there
is little evidence in the japanese ports
of war going on, as all bushes is pro-
ceeding smoothly and there is no unusual
excitement.
The cargo is small because the indus
tries of the island are greatly impaired
on account of the absence of so many men
at the front. In one month over 10000
were taken from the Vicinity Of Kobe.
1t is expected that Hyades will be taken
off the Oriental run and used as a collier
the long trip.

INDUSTRIOUS ICEBERCS THREATEN
SHIPS IN The NORTHERN SEA

While spectacle of sublime grandeur
on a fine clear day, the iceberg is not so
regarded by the men who sail the seas off
the grand banks of Newfoundland. To
these the immense scintilatng mountains
of the deep are a perpetual menace, and
never were they larger OF more numerous
than at present. as a consequence of the
long cold winter and spring Of buster
ing, persistent gales, the worst for ten
years.
The gigantic masses of ice are being
carried south in the midst OF mighty frozen
fields. which are torn from their Arctic
home and sent careening across the wide
waste of waters from Greenland to Labra-
dor.
Some of the steamship lines plying be
tween England and Canada have been
forced to abandon the Belle Isle route al
together. and they now utilize the less per-
ilous but sufficiently risky route round
Cape Race.
Passengers on the mail boat plying to
Labradar frequently count POO or 300 bergs
off that coast in one day. Several of the
Montreal liners plying via Belle Isle straits
have had their bows stove in by collding
with these pinnacled masses, while earlier
IN the year ocean steamships to and from
New York were obliged to defect from
their regular route.

caused great excitement.

and flames issued from the windows
in the fifth story, where the fire orig
mated. The people were removed
from the upper hoors as rapidly as
possible.
Great crowds of spectators quickly
surrounded the temple, being drawn
from State street and adjoining thor
oughfares. The sight of the majestic
structure through the clouds of smoke
and flames was one to be remembered.
Firemen were summoned by an
alarm automatically sent in from the
rooms in which the fire began. The
fremen quickly made connection with
the stationary standpipe in the build
ing. Immediately tons of water food
