Total of All Kinds ,084,. 757 Cases; Cheap Fish
 Moving Readily

Unsold stocks of canned salmon as of May 31, aggregated 1,O84,757 cases, according to statistics com- piled by the Association of Pacific Fisheries and received here this week by Secret ry Kark Theile. A considerable movement of lower grades of fish was also reported to him by brokers.
 The carryover is not considered large, and the pink stocks were not above normal for the tine of the year. The Association showed a total of 596,726 cases of pinks and 157,145 cases of chums unsold which is said here to be about 50,- 900 cases less than those two va rieties showed at the same time last year.
 With considerable activity report ed in both grades since June l, it is believe locally that not more than 5O0000 cases will remain on hand when the first fish of the 1881 pack begin to make their ap- pearance on the Seattle market This is at least 250,000 cases less than the canning inteests had ex- pected to carry over at that time
 Alaska reds were virtually ex- hausted. There were only 4,75e tails, 18,703 flats and 52,252 flats totalling 75,711 cases unsold at the end of May.
 Cohoes, silvers and medium reds aggregated 121 ,274 cases, considered unusually light to holdover. Puget Sound sockeyes were also depleted, the total carryover being 33,733 cases of all packages. Chin ooks or Kings in all grades aggre- gated 96,711 cases.

D|CTATOR'S END
 IN PORTUGAL IS
 DUE NEXT YEAR
Constitutional Regime. Proposed; Elections
 Are to Be Held
By GEORGE HALADJIAN

LISBON, June 18.-The Portu- guese military dictatorship of Gen. Oscar Carmona may become his- tory in 1892.
 Such a transition of the gov ernment to constitutional re- gime was promised by President Carmona himself in speech to the troops, and by several cabinet ministers on recent occasions.
 General Carmona said he knew the dictatorship could not maintain itself indefinitely by bayonets and that the time rapidly was approach ing when the government would peacefully hand over it's responsi- bilities to a constitutional regime.
 However, the dictator also ob- served that it was no good trying to overthrow the government by force.
 Nor would the dictatorship sanc- tion restoration of the old parlia- ment, which, he said, had been an object of derision in the eyes of foreigners.
 General Carmona's popularity was illustrated when all provincial governors and thousands of admir- CTS came to Lisbon to salute him at the completion of his fifth year as president.
 Municipal elections announced for October will be followed by ad- ministrative elections and by March, next year, the machinery will be set in motion for the cleo. tion of a new parliament. The dic- tatorship then is expected to bow to the verdict of the nation.

By GEORGE M. JOHNSON

MADRID, June 10.-The economy sickle of General Manuel Azana, Spain's new minister of war. has cut a wide swath in. the Spanish army.
 It's enlisted personnel has been slashed from 100000 to 120,0O0, and its 27.000 majors, colonels and gen. erals. have been moved down until there are left less than 10000.
 Saves $20,O0O,00O
 This, it is calculated, will save $20, ,OOO, 900 a year, but more far reaching, the general believes. will be three other results.
 One is that the reduction in the number of officers will weed out the less competent commanders and allow expenditures for better equipment, thus making the re-
