mtllerS some hope. At present the ex-
port demand is practically nil. A good
many orders were received Monday,
and saved the day for a number Of the
mills which were uncertain whether
they would be able to continue through
out the week or not. These orders,
however, will not consume more than
three or four days grinding, but In the
meantime it is thought that additional
orders will be secured to warrant the
operation of most Of the mills at the
present running capacity. This is the
condition which has obtained for four
or five weeks, and the millers are in
clined to think there will be no inn
provenent before the latter part of
March. The pillers say that wheat
should drop about s cents a bushel
more in order to open first-class ex-
port market, although another drop of
3 cents would materially help the situ-
alton.

5lJR MEN SHOOT JAPS
Five Subjects of the Mikado
Slain on Attu Island, Off
Alaskan Coast.
vIcTIMSAccUsED OF PoAcHING

Believed They Were Trespassins or
American Soil - Situation In Aleu-
tian Islands Made Delicate by Re
cent Action Of consress-Apolosy to
BE Made to Japanese Government.
Washington, Aug. S-A report of the
killing of five Japanese fishermen and
the capture of twelve Japanese prison
ers on Attu island, the westernmost of
the Aleutian group Alaska. the prison
ers having been taken by the revenue
cutter NcCulloch, commanded by Cap
tain j. G. Cantwell, was made to the
department of commerce and labor by
Edwin W Sims, solicitor for the de-
PARTNER who is in Alaska to enforce
the new law prohibiting all persons not
citizens of the United States from fish
ing in Alaskan waters. The Japanese
killed were shot by Americans on Attu
island before the McCulloch arrived.
Lawrence o. Murray, acting secreta-
ry 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 island.
Law Against Poaohine.
Because of the encroa achment of Jap
anese fishermen and sealers in Alaskan
waters congress was obliged during
the session just ended to enact two
laws calculated to encourage the fish
ing industry of Alaska among Ameri-
cans and to prohibit Japanese and 9TH
er aliens from engaging in it.
The cable dispatch from Mr. Sims
does not make entirely clear the char
aeter of the offense of which the Japa-
nese were guilty, but it does show that
the officers and crew of the McCulloch
were in no way responsible for the kill
ing of the fishermen and that those
who were captured were trespassers
on American territory. having come
ashore probably to salt and cure their
catch.
There is no reason to expect interna-
tional complications as result of the
incident, but there is no question that
the situation in the Aleutian islands,
especially as it affects the Japanese, is
delicate one and that numerous diff
| cuities are almost certain to be en-
eountered in enforcing the laws pro-
tecting American citizens and their
rights.
