Husan Tung Abandons
 Proposed Trip to Japan

TIENTSIN, May 6.-Hsuan Tung, ex-emperor, alias plain MT. Pu Yi, who escaped from Picking recently travelling light has given up the idea of going to Japan lest his depar- ture arouse the suspicious of those at present engaged in vilifying him, says the editor of the Picking and Tientsin1 Times.
 The young man appeared in the best of spirits in spite of the fact that he is virtually prisoner in the Chang 3Piao Gardens, where he re- sides under the protection of the Japanese authorities, and where he received his interviewer. That it is necessary to afford him special pro. lection is due to the fact that a group of agitators in Picking is op- enlye demanding his assassination or eXeeutionyrs
 Instead of making his dash from Picking disguised in a Japanese uni form and by means of blue motor car, as certain Picking newspapers allege, the ex-emperor, according to his own story, travelled by train clad in a brown lounge suit, wedged between two of Feng Yu-hsiang's sol diers and with more of them on the seat opposite, all blissfully unaware of his identity.

 GOOD CATCH

Last night the schooner Middle ton. in port awaiting the storm to blow over and here for repairs, set out nineteen skates, stretching from a point in front of the Seward wharf down toward Lowell Point, and were rewarded this morning by a catch of two thousand pounds of halibut.
 MT. Lundblad, local fish merchant, states the fish were all in first class shape, being unusually large and fat. At this time of the year the bay IS supposed to be barren of fish, none having been caught here for years. In the early days quite a number of halibut were taken out of Resur- rection Bay, there being small bank this side of Fox Island. The crew of the Middleton will set out their skates again tonight, the fishing be- ing as good here as anywhere.
