JAPAN ,NcENsED AT KILLING.
Question Justification of Shooting of
SeaI Poachers.


The steamer Tartar, which arrived at
Victoria, B. c.. from Japan and China,
brought news that the killing of the five
japanese seal poachers in the raid at
Pribiloff islands had caused great excite
ment in Japan and the press is devoting
columns to the discussion of the affair.
One of the schooners engaged in the af-
fair arrived at Azushi, Hokkaido shortly
before the Tartar sailed and her officers
had been instructed TO proceed TO Toxic
to inform the government regarding the
occurrences. Some of the rernacular
press quote an unnamed japanese sealing
authority as saying In 1901 some Amer
leans prohibited from sealing under their
own flag, started the practice of poaching
under the japanese flag with the assist
ance of japanese sealers. Whether the
japanese who were killed or imprisoned
were employed by Americans or were act
ing independently is still uncertain, ac-
cording to investigation. In view of the
uncertainty in this point and as TO the
other circumstances it is not clear wheth-
er the killing of the japanese sealers was
justifiable or not"

THANKSGIVING SERMON.
Delivered Yesterday by the Rev. MI
Fischer.

Delivered Yesterday by the Rev. Mr..
Fischer
Rev. Theodore A. Fischer, the pastor
of the Church of the Messiah, preached
an admirable discourse yesterday
morning before a large congregation.
The speaker based his remarks on the
words found in Psalm 100, fourth and
fifth verses: Enter into his gates with
Thanksgiving, and into his courts with
praise: be thankful unto him and bless
his name. For the Lord is good; His
mercy is everlasting, and his truth en-
dureth to all generations"
The speaker very impressively re-
counted some of the blessings and mer-
cies with which God had crowned the
year, and said that while we should
cultivate a thankful spirit all the time,
yet one day set apart when all should
remember the Bountiful Giver and rem
der Thanksgiving and praise to Him was
an observance which should be COM
mended and entered into with due rev.
erence and fervor And though many
pervert the day, it is not a valid rea-
son why 1t should be abolished.
Our other holidays are not fittingly
observed by many. But that should
not lesson their significance. Let us
then remember that while we may feast
and make merry, we owe all of our
enjoyments and comforts to Him from
Whom all blessings flow and with
gratitude and love turn our thoughts
to Him.
