SALMON PANIC.
Rush to Get Up Steam Causes Fish to
 Swim When Almost in Pieces.
From Good Health.

From Good Health.
 Imagine yourself on the seashore in Alaska, in the month of September, ram bling on for the pleasure of it and pick ing up a curious shell now and then You see ahead fresh water stream which is in your path. As you approach you are surprised to find the whole stream filled, crowded, with struggling sal mon. If you follow the stream back from shore a mile or so you will find 1t literally packed with salmon all the way, although the water is so shallow that no fish Is more than half covered. Your surprise Is increased when you ap- proach near enough to touch them with your foot and find that they pay not the slightest attention to you. They struggle fiercely on up the stream, the females to deposit their eggs, the males to protect the females. All are intent upon that mad. suicidal rush up the stream. It is suicidal because not a single salmon out of those hundreds before you ever come back alive. From the outset they neither eat nor rest and as you follow them up stream you soon see the effects of their battle. Their flesh Is knocked off against stones; here you see one striving desper- ately against his fellows, with nothing left of his once powerful tail but the bones, and many, of them are broken; the flesh may be falling from his back or torn from his belly still he fights on until death. If 1t is a female you may see the eggs dragging from an ugly gash in her side, one fin is torn off, two more are useless, every effort to propel her self leaves a trail of blood, but she swims on with the rest
 You are sickened by such sight and conclude that the shallowness of the

John L. Sullivan Adn1its That No Man
 Can Whip John BarIeycorn.

From the New York American.
 Ladies and gentlemen: I owe a good deal to the young men of America. l sup pose, in fact, that l have been more ad- mired by them than any other man that ever lived, excepting possibly George Washington and Dewey.
 Everybody knows that in my lifetime l have made large sums of money. Ev- erybody knows that l have made some mistakes-the newspapers haven't hesitat- ed to tell about them. But l can say that l have never given any Ameriaan cause to be ashamed of his country.
 I defeated everybody from the other side and I think 1 can say I did it easily. When it became necessary for me to pass on the championship to a younger man 1t went to an American.
 Now I feel that before the time comes for me to leave this world 1 ought to do what can to be useful.
 Of course, my greatest work was done in my youth, when I proved that an Amsrjcan with Irish blood can lick any man in the world and that without any special training.
 When I met an Englishman that they all thought was wonderful, and with one punch knocked him out into the audience I certainly did as much for the reputa- tion of this country as could be expected of any man.
 A great English fighter who met me said after he recovered his senses: "Sul- livan doesn't know anything about fight ing rules but e its too ard. l don't want nothing more to do with him." l was very young then.
 Now, I say that that was the begin ming of the widespread respect of all oth- CT countries for America. They have all found that what we don't know about rules we can make up with hard hitting. The day has gone by when my lighting career can be anything more than an inspiration to young men. can no longer actually show how much superior an American is to apy Englishman. or to any other foreigner.
 But I certainly can be of use to my friends and admirers by giving them good advice, and I certainly intend to do so.
 I am going to write a series of articles to be published In this newspaper and what am going to talk about is whisky.
 good many young men and boys get impatient, and they don't want to listen when they hear temperance talk. They won't listen to their fathers or mothers, and they won't listen to clergymfn.
 But they have to listen to John L. Sul- livan, in the first place they look up to me, and In the second place because 1t has always been my custom to get re- spectful hearing whenever l wanted to.
 have sent to be published with this picture of myself It was done some time ago by Mir. Mortimer, the artist. who, like most artists in America. is friend and admirer of mine.
 This picture, I think, gives fair idea of the John L. Sullivan who used to meet anybody that wanted to fight, in days gone by.
 would say to young men, please look at my picture and ask yourself. Would II tackle John l.. Sullivan in his primer"
The Birmingham age-herald., 1904-04-03

I suppose the answer would be No" in a majority of cases.
 And then l want the young men to say to themselves:
 "If I know enough not to tackle John l.. Sullivan, I ought to know enough not to tackle whisky the thing that could beat Sullivan or any other man that ever lived"
 l tell you that sermon Is useless un- less 1t has got the facts back of it. There is going to be nothing but facts about what l have to say on the subject of whisky.
 I have undertaken to write these whisky articles at the request Of newspaper friend and admirer of mine. who saw me box before the Prince of Wales.
 That prince is the King of England now and I mean to see that these artiele@ of mine on whisky get Into his hands, if I have to send them to him myself. Like a good many other men, he will be bene-

fited by them. When I met him I talked affably to him and put him at his eases. and have no doubt that he will be glad to hear from me after all these years. What I have to say to you today, young men, Is this Remember that every suc- cessful man began his work sober. And remember that If you follow back over the track of n failure you will find. plenty of empty whisky bottles, and they will be thick at the place where he broke down entirely.
 l thank you for your kind attention Sd far. and I would like you to tell youH friends in need of my advice that there will be more of 1t in this newspaper next Sunday.
 Remember, young men. that If you couldn't lick John l., Sullivan you cant lick the thing that Is stronger than he isx Leave whisky alone. I remain, yourS truly,

CASE OF THE ARABIA.
Prize Court at vladivostok Will Begin
an Examination.

Vladivostok, Aug. 1.-The prize court
here will tomorrow begin an examina-
ton into the case Of the Portland and
Asiatic liner Arabia. which was seized
by the Russian Vladivostok squadron
The German captain OF the steamer is
much upset by the capture OF his ves-
GEL and declares that when the Ameri-
can companies in Portland hired the
boat he did not know that he was ex-
pected to carry contraband material
He protested when he discovered the
nature OF his cargo, as did also the
Hamburg company which owned the
boat The American charterers assur-
ed them that there was no danger Oh
the steamers capture as the Vladivo-
stok squadron was not near her route
If this is confirmed In court the vessel
and cargo will probably be comiscated
with the exception OF that portion OF
the cargo addressed to Hongkong, anil
concerning this there appears to be
some doubt. 1t turns out that $500
tons of the cargo of flour was not ad-
dressed to any person or place but to
order" The consignee holding the
order for this flour may be at any
stopping place of the steamer.
