Some uneasiness in local business circles over the unexpected departure of Thomas Watson on the Victoria was relieved to some extent yesterday by the receipt of telegram from the missing miner stating that he will re- turn before September 24 and arrange matters left in abeyance by his sud den departure.
 It is reported, however, that some of the Watson creditors are not exactly satisfied with the assurance contained in the telegram and may possibly take steps to apprehend Wat son at seward, when the Victoria ar rivcs atsThat point. It is said that the alleged non- payment of certain royalties on gold dust shipped to the outside l- Watson before his depar- ture will be made the basis of what ever legal action may be taken.

NEW BILL PERMITS FOREIGN
 TONNAGE TO PLY coAsTWlSl
By Associated Press.

6y RSSoCiated freSS.
 SEATTLE, Aug. 22.-That the bill now pending in congress permitting foreign ships to ply in the American eoastwise trade in order to meet ship ping emergencies during the war is not detrimental to Pacific coast shipping interests, is the statement of Capt. James Gibson, chairman of the Pacific coast committee of the Seattle Chamber of Commerce, who returned from Washington last night.
 Capt. Gibson made the trip to Wash . ington for the purpose of looking into the proposed measure which was at first thought to be. inimical to the interests of coast shipping firms. He stated, however, that the pending bill permits foreign tonnage to ply in Am erican coastwise trade only when Am erican ships are unavailable is now thoroughly understood by the coast shipping people.
 Alaska shipping will be entirely unaffected by the bill in the event of it's adoption.

BRITISH
 LOSE HEAVILY
By Associated Press.

LONDON. Aug 22-Thc official casualty lists covering the British war losses for the past week dlscloses that the British casualties resulting from the recent tremendous fighting in northern France and Belgium, al- though heavy, in point of number are. nevertheless. surprisingly si.ght con sidering the terrific intensity of the struggle occurring during that p,- nod The lists shows total of four teen thousand casualties incurred in- clud!ng both officers and men.
 Of the total number twenty nine hundred were killed or died of wounds received.
 As it is definitely known that the German losses for a weekly period of fighting have reached as high as seventy thousand men since the be- ginning of the Somme offensive last year, the comparatively small British losses mentioned are the cause of much satisfaction on all sides. The greatly increased efficiency of the British artillery is designated as the principal factor in reducing the troops losses to such comparatively small dimensions.

New Orleans. March "A German
submarine was sunk in the Atlantic
ocean some days ago by the British
steamer Knight Companion, which
arrived from England, according to a
story told by the steamers officers
to government officials here today.
The steamer was several days on her
way to New Orleans, according to
the story, when she sighted Ger
man submarine.
The undersea craft fired five shots
which missed the steamer, before the
latter got her defensive gun into ac-
ton. The Knight Companions sec
ond shot, at about 1900 yards, struck
the submarine which, it was stated,
Immediately sank, leaving on the sur
face wide patches of heavy oil and
nothing further was seen of the sub
marine or any of her crew.
The exact date and location of the
submarine were not given, and the
master, Captain John Kendall, declin-
