 1 The British tug Phoenix arrived this afternoon at four o'clock with the reported object of securing a large number of native fishermen, to make up seine crews on the Skeena River.
 The focal labor atmosphere, in rela- tion to the fishermen. has been oharg- ed with trouble for several days and appears today to be as far from settle ment as ever, The fishermen have demanded the total exclusion of all Jap fishing crews, anticipating in- creased inroads of the foreigners, and several of the native crews have al- ready refused to take out their seines as uusual, unless this condition is complied with by the Qaapery manag- CTS. The eannery men claim they are hiring no new Jap crews, but have de- clined to discharge certain Japs who have worked for them for many sea- sons. The fishermens union, which has large number of Indian mem bers, held heavily attended meeting last night, and today both sides de- clare their positions unchanged,
 That the launches Teddy and Taku are not slnmhering at the bottom of the sea this morning speaks well for their builders, the big freight CT Delhi nearly Finishing both of the them last night. The launches were lying at the Connell float, the Taku on the outside, with their respective shippers sleeping aboard, when the big Delhi, attempting to make a landing, ran alongside. The guard of the Delhi, which was jnst above the surface of the water, slipped un- der the rail of the Taku, and, follow ing the curve of the ship lifted the Taku bodily out of the water, smash ing it against and almost on top of the Teddy, with the impact of 5000 tons behind it, umbling Captains Forss and Lancaster out of their berths with more speed than clothing. The headway of the Delhi was check ed just in time to prevent both launches being smashed into kindlng wood. As it was, the house on the Teddy was knocked partly off, doors and windows bent and broken, and such was the force of the impact that five heavy piles were knocked out oi place under the wharf. The Taku es- capped injury. except to her new coat of paint. Proper lights were in place on the launches and the owners of the Delhi will settle for the damage
