A North Coast locating party is es-
tablishing camp at the confluence OF
the PalOuse and Snake rivers. The
engineers will again survey the route
northward through the canyon OF
river at Hooper, it is said, on the
final survey OF the North Coast line
from Walla Walla to Ritzville. The
persistence of the North Coast in
seeking a route through the canyon,
a territory in which it would be ex-
ceedingly expensive to construct a
road, in1icates that the recOnnOis-
sance surveys have shown the route
to be feasible.

CAUGHT THIEF.
pr Camac Chased Him Through the Streets of New York
 on Long Run.
POLICE HAVE HIM NOW

New York, April 22.-Awakened early to-day by an armed burglar who was prowling through his house, Dr Charles N. B. Camac chased the marauder from the house and for nearly half mile through the city streets until he finally cornered him and turned him over to the police. The arrested man gave his name as John Gordon, said he is 28 years old, a shoemaker, and had come here from Lynn, Mass. In his possession the police found several articles of jewelry which were identified by Dr Camac as having been taken from his house. He also had a jimmy, gun, bottle of ammonia and dark lantern.
 Dr Camac's feet were badly cut and bruised as q result of his long, hard chase over the rough paved streets. He had started after the burglar the instant he sprang out of bed. stopping only long enough to throw an overcoat over his pajamas as he dashed through the lower hall. In this scanty garb he carried the chase to a successful conclusion and then accompanied the captive and a policeman to the station house, where he lodged complaint of bur glary against Gordon.

GOING HOME. Japanese financier Has FlOated Loans Aggregating
 $f15.OO0. 900. MOSTLY IN LONDON

San Francisco, April 22-Kore. kiyo Takahashi, the Japanese finan. cier who has just completed his mis. sion of floating loans aggregatine $115, 100000, in London and Paris to redeem the war bonds of Japan arrived in San Francisco on his way home yesterday.
 Talking of his work in London and Paris, last night, Takahashi said:
 The loans floated abroad are now mostly held by London bankers, the stringency of money in Paris being chiefly responsible for this fact. Ja. pan will pay five per cent bonds for this money, which will be used in re- deeming the six per cent bonds is- sued during the war. No difficulty is now encountered by Japan in rais. ing money. Her credit has been unquestioned since ner achievements in the war and foreign capital is daily pouring into her in increased amount.
 'The United States, bought about $6O,OO0,000 of the war bonds, but has contributed little or no capital for investment in Japan since. The reason for this is patent Men with money in the United States can get bigger returns for 1t here than any where else, and they do not have to go abroad to seek investments. Ja- pan will probably attract very little American capital whiel the present reign of prosperity continues in the United States. Just now she is get ting most of her foreign capital from England and France"

STRIKING SAILORS.
Russian Industries Are Placed Into
 Critical Situation.

St Petersburg, April 22.-Russian industry is being placed in a critical situation owing to the continuance of the strike of sailors belonging to the naphtha flotilla on the Caspian sea-
 The efforts of Baron Taube, chief of the gendarmerie corps, who has been detailed to deal independently with the strikers have not been successful
 Only ten of several hundred tank steamers are in operation and both sides are determined to continue the strike. The oil residue, known as Mazout, Is the principal fuel used by the factories in central Russia. the stocks of which are now exhausted. Navigation will open in few days, but owing to the strike the reservoirs below Astrakhan, which supplies the river steamers, are empty and the shippers are unable to take advant- age of the short period of high water.
 Leading industrial magnates have telegraphed to the lower house of par liament asking that body to intervene.
