COOK INLET IS PUTTING UP FISH Volcanic Disturbance Has Not Stopped First Run of
 Salmon

The stories tO the effect that the recent volcanic disturbance to the westward have killed all of the fish are not bourne out by ac- tual results. While it is true that there are lots of dead birds floating on the water and for miles out to sea the water is cov- cred with floating volcanic ash, there is no evidence that there will be any shortage of salmon this year.
 At Port Graham, the Fidalgo Island Canning company have packed more than one thousand cases this season and as evidence of what they think of future prospects, the Sampson, while west unloading i8,000 cases of empty cans which they expect tn fill this year.
 At the SrldOvia Salmon Can ming plant they have already packed better than $500 cases and expect to do a great deal
 moro as soon as the second run of fish starts. Just at. this time after h" first run has passed and h"forr the second run begins, there IS always quiet time in inc fish canning business and IhiS fact, coupled with the recent disturbance, doubtless accounts for the stories of a shOrfag" Oi fish.

COLQUITT HAS
NOT ACQUIESCED
He Will Not Permit Mexican Troops
to Pass Through Texas, Though

Washington, Feb. diplomatic
complications arose today between the
state of Texas, the United States gov
ernment on one hand and the Mexican
government on the other, which TEN
porarily, at least, will not allow Mex
leo to move troops over American ter
ritory in Connection with her revolu-
tionaFy disturbances.
Secretary of State Knox tonight
further inquired through the Ameri-
can embassy at Mexico City asking
the specific purpose OF the military
expedition for which permission is
sought to travel from Eagle Pass,
Texas, to FL Paso. Gov. Colquitt OF
Texas today pointed out in messages
TO the state department that residents
of FL Paso We're apprehensiye that the
rebels at Juarez, Mexico, might resist
the entry of Mexican troops from
American territory and precipitate 4
battle, endangering the lives and
property of Americans
Knox assured ColQuitt that no per
mission viii be granted until the mat
ter is carefully studied. Indications
tonight are that it will be adjusted in
a leisurely and diplomatic manner.
Advices have reached here that no
troops have started on the proposed
expedition and none viii start until
the question is settled.
