VESSELS SHOT into
American Fishermen T~respassiag in
CANADIAN Territory
hit THIRTEEN TIMES In Fleeing
American Fishing Steamer Has Ex-
citing Experience With canadian
Cruiser Vigilant.

Erie, Pa, Special.-The fourth of
the f-h tug incidents of the past week
took place in mid-Lake Erie when the
Canadian cruiser Vigilant riddled the
big steam tug Harry G. Barnhart with
small shells from the rifle on the pa
troll boat. Captain Nick Fassel, of the
tug, admitted after he escaped that the
Vigilant could have sent her TO the bot
tom if Captain Dunn had SO desired.
They ran more than eight miles un-
der full head before they crossed the
boundary line and escaped from the
Canadians. More than thirty shots
struck the vessel, and of those Is Of
the small shells landed with telling eff
feet on the upper parts, so that the
boat careened to one side with he
mass of wreckage when she came into
port. Having been used formerly for
a pleasure steamer, the Barnhurst is
of a large size and we'll fitted with
steam equipment. The fireman, Mag
nus johnson, faited in the hold from
over-exertion is keeping the steamer
going ahead. He was reported killed,
but revived after reaching shore. The
fishermen were cut in the fact by
splinters shot away by the bullets.
The Barnhurst, according to Captain
Fassel, was about five miles over the
line drawing nets when the Vigilant
appeared. The other Erie tugs, the
Alma, Valiant and the Boyd, were
closer to the line and ran away when
the chase started. Captain Dunn or"
dered the Barnhurst to stop, but in
stead of doing SO, Captain Easel put
on full steam and started for the line.
He took a southwesterly direction and
could not be headed off by the Vigi-
liant.
1t has become quite the custom for
the Erie fishermen to cross the line re-
CARELESS Of strict orders from the COM
panies employing them, and having ex-
citing brushes with the Vigilance. They
never think Of surrender when there
is a chance to run away. The Barn
hurst lost a large quantity of nets.

Tar Leaves For Home.

Yokohama, By Cable-Secretary Of
War Taft and party sailed at 800
o'clock Sunday afternoon for San
Francisco on the steamer Korea, amid
Japanese enthusiasm. A reception
was given at the American consulate
by Japanese merchants. Before sail
ing Secretary Taft said he thought
the reports of the Japanese anti-peace
demonstrations had been greatly ex-
aggerated in America. He and his
party had Travelled all through Japan
and had found no trace Of any anti
foreign feeling. While prominent Am
orleans had been involved in a Toxic
mob, he thought it was because the
American party was caught in the
mob, and not because they were Amer
leans. Other churches besides Amer
lean churches had been burned.
There was several special reasons in
each case, but no general antiforeign
feeling was responsible.
Secretary Taft said that he had *
amined the Chinese boycott closely.
The Chinese, he said, wanted Ameri-
a goods, and having already lost $15,-
100000 by the boycott, were finding
out that they were cutting off their
noses to spite their faces.
