ST. PETERSBURG, Sept 2S.-Sec-

Siberia and European Russia with at

rulers of states, and the press is bust

adopting a Russo American cOnven-

Russia, some papers declare, is the

the Uni States and Russia.

between Japan and the United States
is inevitable in the distant future. The

j. S. WILL CARE FOR FISH
FEDERAL AUTHORITIES WILL ASK
STATES TO CEDE RIGHTS
IN STREAMS.

| The United States, not the states of
/ Washington and Idaho, may soon be
in control of all fishing rights on the
Spokane river. the Pend dOreille ard
Lake Occur d'Alene.
Federal fisheries authorities will ask
every state in the union to cede it's
right to control fishing opera lions on

more states or any body of water con-
tiguous to two or more states, asserts
a coasc report. Uniform legislation,

country, is planned by the fisheries

government can not make such legis-
la,ion effective.
Investigations by federal authorities
have shown that the supply of food
fish has gradually diminished. The
supply on the Great Lakes has been
cut down one-half, and government
experts declare the falling off is due
almost wholly to the lack of uniform
legislation 20 protect the fish.
Where two states have legslated on

| AT the last meeting of the American
Fisheries society, which includes in it's
membership the fish commissioners of
each state, the plan of federal control
was Endorsed. Minnesota and Michi-
gan are said to have ceded their rights,
and other states will be asked. in turn
to take similar action. William E. Nee
han, chief of the PENNSYLVANIA depart-
ment OF fisheries, has been authorised

question of federal control to President

The Canadian minister of marine is

Move Aimed at Japan.

Upon deductions from high authority
it can be announced that the cruise to
the Pacific was devised as a strategic
move by the general board of the navy
and approved by the president when
submitted to his consideration. Recent
" certain commercial interests thought
| hey detected consideration, of a crisis
in Chinese affairs in the dispatch of the
fleet, but now it is apparent that the
strategy had reference to Japan. OF
course the government could not an
nounce that il was impelled to send the
fleet to the Pacific on account of the
possibility of trouble with Japan,
granting such to be the case.
1t is pointed out by high naval au-
thO1ity, however, hat with the great
fleet in Puget Sound, a movement on
it's part in the event of war would force
Japan to send its whole navy, not equal
to our beet in sbtrength to meet it.
Japan could not maintain portions of
it's fleet along a long line of islands
and stations, as it did during the war
with Russia. 1t would have to con-
cen:rate it for united attack against a
superior force.
Japan Stops Protesting.
Indications that the strategy of the
"practice cruise has served its seem
ing purpose we'll, is contained in the
remark of the same high authority
tha- not one cross word has been
heard from Japan since the orders for
the cruise were promulgated. Prior to
that the Japanese government had
shown some disposition to hector. Am
bassador Aoki was busy here making
the school question in California en-
barrassing to this government and the
general question of immigration was
made equally disagreeable and fore
bOding. There now is marked serenity
all around and the strategists are con-
graduating themselves.

PRESIDENT is DETERMINED ON
MOVE WHICH is MAKING
JAPAN BE GOOD.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 2S.-Some of
the presidents visitors heard the ex-
preston of an emphatic declaration
setting absolutely at rest rumors that
some change may be made in the pro-
gram of sending the. battleship and
cruiser fleet to the Pacific Powerful
influences have been at work in the
east to have the president countermand
the order for the cruise and it has
been reported that certain influences
would be exerted in congress as soon
as the session opens to embarrass the
scheme. These efforts will avail moth
ing.
:. Buy Foreign Coal if Necessary.
The president now is arranging de-
tails with the navy department. He let
it be known that, if coal enough to pro-
vide for the long journey of the fleet
cannot be obtained in America, it will
be purchased abroad. 1t also was al
rounced that. if all the coal could not
be transported in American ships to
coaling stations on the way, foreign
yes lis would be employed. The pres
ident prefers American vessels, even
if the cost be greater. and named
100000 in excess of the foreign
charges that he would be willing to
pay to obtain American golfers. He
will spend as much as s1,0O0,00O, should
that amount be required to give pref

hundred dollars in excess of this
amount. We are glad to note that

that on its merits and not by favor
itism. 1t is expected that the hotel

A FINE BAND CONCERT
Oenison Commercial Band viii Give a
Splendid Performance Modnay.

Denison has always wanted and
needed a good band. By steady work
G. C. Gregg has built up such a band
for the city and it now comes to the
people, asking their attendance at a
concert to be given on Monday even
ing for the purpose of procuring suit
able uniforms. The object is worthy.
On several occasions the boys have
given the city their time and talent
for little or nothing and this is good
opportunity to reciprocate.
But this is not all. The concert
will be first class. Those who have
attended the rehearsals tell us that
the progress the boys have made is
really wonderful and that they are no
longer TIE amateurs they were year
ago but first-class musical organic
alton. We believe the people will
not only be doing the proper thing to
attend but that they will get their
moneys worth in an evening of en-
joyment.
