probably tomorrow morning, over the body
of Fritz Schmidt. twenty-nine years old.
who died at the Casualty Hospital yester-
day afternoon about o'clock. Suspicion
that the death resulted from an assault
made on him last Tuesday led to an investi-
cation of the case by Detective Hartigan
of police headquarters today, and a lookout
for a colored man with whom Schmidt had
trouble last Tuesday has been sent out by
the police.
After Schmidt's death at the hospital yes
terday afternoon 1T was discovered that he
had several bruises and that bone In his
leg was broken. This morning an autopsy
was held and IT was found that death re-
suited from cerebral hemorrhage. 1t was
then found that just before Schmidt was
committed to jail he was struck in the
mouth by colored man at 10th and b
streets northwest and knocked down. 1t Is
thought that in falling he struck his head

TO BE SENT TO THE HAGUE.
Right to Limit Rights Conferred by
Treaty on American Fishermen

While the conclusion of the modus vivend
in London Saturday by Ambassador Reid
and the British foreign office has probably
obviated danger of serious friction between
the American fishermen and the Newfound-
land colonial authorities during the present
herring season, 1t Is said at the State De-
partment that the undertaking to submit
to The Hague tribunal the broad PROPOSE
ton as to the right of a British colony
to limit by local legislation rights conferred
by treaty upon American fishermen will be
carried out. There is. however. no urgency
AT present. and the indications are that no
forward step will be made pending the ad-
journment Of the second Hague conference
in session. Meanwhile Prof Alex
ander. representing the American fish COM
mission and the State Department will be
IN frequent conference with Sir Robert
Bond, the Newfoundland premier, the out
come of which is expected to be some
notifications of the existing modus. that
will tend to diminish the chances of fric-
ton during the time that must eapse be-
foe the general question of treaty rights
be adjudicated at The Hague, which
will certainly not occur for many months
to come.

JOHN BULL SQUIRMS
VANCOUVER RIOTS EMBARRAs-
SING, "DoNCHER KNOW"

LONDON. September 9.-The attack
upon the japanese and Chinese at Van
couver B. c., places the English news
papers in an embarra ssing and amusing
position. Several of the most prominent
of them were particularly severe on the
San Francisco "hoodlums' when the out
break Of mob violence occurred there They
are now confronted with more serious
situation in a British colony and ap-
parently are at a loss what to say. The
majority remain silent The Times whose
American correspondent severely and re-
peatedly denounced the San Franciscans'
hostility to the japanese, is the only morn
ing paper commenting on tn eCanadians'
demonstration. Tho paper deploreS that
1t Is not at present obvious how a per-
manent amelioration Of the situation is to
be effected. attributed the trouble entirely
to labor union agitation and ridicules the
idea that a few thousand Japanese are
likely to turn British Columbia or Call
fornia into Monaghan provinces.
The Pail Mall Gazette, the only after
the subject. takes directly opposite view,
saying:
The Asiatic makes his entry into Can
ada under the auspices Of the great god Of
cheapness. He comes with an offer to take
work at half the rate or less than paid
for white mems labor, an ARRANGEMENT
which. none the less, can be carried out on
a basis which involves q great advance
upon the scale Of remuneration enjoyed
in his own country. In competition of this
character the Caucasian believes, and all
economic reasoning seems to support him,
that his own standards Of life are certain
to be depleted and destroyed"
Pail Mall Is Frank.
Continuing, the Pail Mall Gazette points
out that the Bellingham and Vancouver
outbreaks show that popular animosities
Of the racial type are not necessa rily the
outcome Of mere wanton, unprovoked de-
pravity' adding:
1t can scarcely occur to the home keep
ing Englshman how slight an expansive
effort on the part of the swarming popu-
latfons of the far east would suffice to
swamp the western states and provinces
of the American continent"
Referring to British Columbia with only
8 per cent of its territory populated the
Pail Mall Gazette says:
If an unrestricted flood Of Asatics were
allowed>to occupy these vacant. hospitable
areas, it would require but a few years to
produce an oriental predominance In the
fairest and richest possession Of the Brit
ism empire and perhaps defect the whole
course of its civilization and destiny"
In conclusion the Pail Mall Gazette says:
The issue will not permit of indefinite
representation. Failing exclusion. the stu
alton demands alternative policy that
will promptly and efficiently circumscribe
the dangers wildly realized by their
prospective victims
The English newspapers have said little
about the Bellingham incident. The COM
ments are all good-tempered. The Times
remarked that ii was not easy to reproach
a foreign country with race prejudice in
view of the disabilities and restrictions

amined the question of indemnities arising
from the assassinarions at Casa Blanca

took place after the massacre and the re-
preston Of the trouble.
The ministers. the premier said. looked
Into the precedents. notably the lombard
ment Of Alexandria by the British in 1882.
and they had decided to hold the Moroccan
government responsible for all indemnities.
the amount OF which, 1t was thought, should
be settled by an International commission.
The assassinations at Case Blanca
July 30 marked the actual beginning of
what has now developed into a war. The
Chaouis tribe entered the town on that day,
killed two guardians of the port six French
residents, three Spaniards and one Italian.
and looted large number of shops and
private dwellings.
Incidentally this is Frances answer to
the demands of the German exporters at
Casa Blanca that France compensate them
for the losses they sustained during the
bombardment.
The cabinet requested Foreign Minist er
Pichon to. examine :he general question of
Morocco and to prepare a note on the SUBJ

The car is strongly built so that it will

fifty tons and much excess of that of

All OF the missing stock is now accounted

thus be sustained by the Baltimore ipsti-
