AMERICANS Kill five JAPS
Poachers In Alaskan Waters Taken
Prisoners by Revenue Cutter.

PoacherS In Alaskan Waters Taken
Prisoners by Revenue Cutter.
New York, Aug. S.-A special to the
Tribune from Washington says: A
report of the killing OF five Japanese
fishermen and the capture Of IL jap
anese prisoners on Attu Island. the
We ternmost Of the Aleutian group. the
prisoners having been taken by the
revenue cutter McCulloch commanded
by Captain J. c. Cantwell, was made
to the department Of commerce and
labor by Edwin w. Sims, solicitor fol
the department who is In Alaska to
enforce the law prohibiting all persons
not citizens OF the United States from
fishing in Alaskan waters.
The Japanese killed were shot by
American On Attu Island before the
McCulloch arrived.
Lawrence O. Murray. acting secre.
tary of commerce and labor, promptly
turned the cable dispatch over to Rob.
ert Bacon acting secretary OF state.
Mr.. Bacon will Immediately communi.
cate the information he has received
to the Japanese ambassador and will
express regret that the Japanese
poachers were so summarily dealt
with by the Americans on Attu Islands
Because OF the encroachment OF
Japanese fishermen and sealers in
Alaskan waters congress was obliged
during the session just ended to enact
two laws calculated to encourage the
fishing industry of Alaska among
Americans and to prohibit Japan and
other aliens from engaging in it.
The cable dispatch from Mr.. Sims
does not make entirely clear the char
acter of the offense of which the Jap
anese we're guilty, but it does show
that the officers and crew on the Nc
Culloch were in no way responsible
for the killing of the fishermen and
that those who were captured were
trespassing on American territory,
having come ashore, probably to salt
and cure their catch. There Is no rea
son to expect international compiled.

RUSSIAN STRIKE IS OVER
WoRkMEN AT ST. PETERSBURG
ORDERED BACK TO WORK.
STILL OUT IN THE PROVINCES.
Liberal Leaders Not Wanting RevoIu
ton Are Pleased With the Result
as They May Now Deal With tho
Government.

st. Petersburg, Aug. 8.-The work
mems council has decided to call off
the strike in st. Petersburg. This ac
ton does not apply to the PROVINCES
but there Is little doubt that the work
men there will follow St. Pctersburgs
example.
The leaders of the non-rc. olution.
airy parties do not conceal their sat
isfaction over the defeat of their old
allies OF the extreme left, as they
feared that great strike, with wide
spread disorders entailing repressions,
might be used as justification by the
government to postpone the elections
and the assembling OF new parlia
ment. With comparative tranquility
ahead they can hold the government
to its promises.
The real intention of the govern
ment when it dissolved the lower
house of parliament, as revealed by a
member of the cabinet to the Asso
ciated Press, shows that Premier
Stlypin at least intends to pursue and
hold an affirmative policy amounting
virtually to a determination on tho
part Of the administration to settle
the agrarian question according to its
own lights, and irrespective of parlia.
ment and then go to the country upon
this issue.
The government EFFECTS to rally not
only, all the landed interests, but the
mass of the peasantry to its side by
actually giving the latter some imme.
diate relief instead of merely holding
out hopes of more advantageous set
Element in the indefinite future which
has been the stock in trade of many
reformers. Politically, this move may
prove very strong. The actual be.
stowal of lands, even if in smaller
quantities than expected, and the divi-
sion of communistic holdings will, it
is believed make the peasantry dis.
inclined to vote for candidates to the
lower house who might propose a
totally different solution to the prob.
lem. But above all individual posses
sion the government thinks will in
culcate that very respect for property
the lack OF which under the system of
communistic holdings, has made many
peasants such easy cone rts to the
theory of naturalization Of lands.
That there is continued preparation
among revolutionaries for an armed
uprising in the south is believed to be
indicated by the intercepton by the
police of shipments of arms and am
munition, including rifles and sabres,
at Poltava and TheeaGsia.

BANK ARE FuGIT.vEs.
SAFETY DEPOSIT BOXES LOOTED.
Finances Of Milwaukee Avenue State
IS.titution of Chicago Has Been in
Bad Condition for Many Years
Hope for Depositors.

Chicago. ILL.,. Aug. s.-Theodore
Stensiand, vice president oi the Mil
waukee Avenue State bank, was ar.
rested on a charge of violating the
banking laws Of the state. Earlier in
the day the institution was placed In
the hands OF receiver and Paul O.
Stelsland, president of the bank, and
father of the vice president, together
with Cashier Herring, were officially
declared tugitives from Justice and
their printed descriptions placed in
the hands Of the police throughout tho
country. This action was taken by
the authorities after developments had
showed that the finances of the failed
institution were in a deplorable con-
dition and had been for number of
years. Besides the discovery of many
Irregularities In the management of
the bank, II was also found that even
the safety deposit boxes owned and
rented by the bank had been tempered
with and riaed.
The specific charge on which Theo.
dore Stensland was arrested was that
Ol having dCCGplcu ueUOSllS III luo
bank when he knew the institution to
be insolvent. Jacob ]. Kern, former
states attorney, signed bonds for
5000 for the release Of Stensland.
The promises that the elder Stems.
land would appear in Chicago were un-
fulfilled and 1t is the belief of the po-
lice, based upon dispatches from sew
eral northern cities, that he has fled
to Canada. Cashier Herring is thought
to have reached the Dominion by an.
other route.
The days developments were pro
ductive of the first ray of hope for
the depositors, who believed their saw.
ngs of years swept away in the
wreck. David r. Forgan, one of those
to whom the status of the defunct
banks affairs have been laid bare. de.
clared that probably 70 cents on the
dollar would be paid in the final i'd
justment.
The affairs OF the bank are said to
be in almost hopeless tangleand new
irregularities are being disclosed as
the examiners go deeper into tho
books. President Stensland loaned
money to himself, 1t is alleged, by tho
subterfuge of having employees sign
the notes.

which was formerly so popular with

by decorating them with India ink de
