 At one meeting of halibut fisher men, presided over by Gustav Norman, president of the Northern British Columbia Fishermen's Asso- ciation it was decided by a two third aproXimate vote" to join the Northern British Columbia Fisher mems Association.
 Action of Another Meeting
 At another meeting, presided over by George Anderson at the Deep Sea Flshermen's Hall, "of halibut fishermen to the number of about 100, it was decided by a thirds vote to stay with the Deep Sea Fishermens Union, their official organization of the past many years"
 Regarding the first meeting re- ferred to, the Prince Rupert News says further:
 "The proposal is that hali- but branch of the Northern Brit ish Columbia Fishermen's Asso- citation be formed, this branch to have it's own autonomy and the power to dictate it's own affairs. In the event of the salmon fish ermen's branch having trouble of any kind, the halibut branch would not necessarily be involved. Mutual Benefits
 By uniting, however, it was felt that there would be mutual benefits in many directions. Ut was also decided to ascertain the views of the Canadian Halibut

Father Tierney was captured just
at the door of his church. The banS.ts
tied his bands, stripped him and brutal
ly scourged him. Afterward they threw
a soldiers cloak around his shoulders
and made fun of his suffering. For
five days they kept him in this state,
one hand always tied to his body, and
they gave him only rice to eat.
Stricken With Malaria.
"On the fifth day they left town,
taking Father Tierney with them He
managed to find his own clothes again
before leaving After walking about
six miles he fell and sprained his ankle.
They placed him on a ladder and
carried him to Nan Feng, a village
farther on.
while in the town of Song Tang
Shu, through which the bandits passed,
some of the Catholic Chinese approach
ed him. They say he was pitiable sight,
suffering from malaria at the time. He
looked dazed and was practically in

Monahan, Ireland, was SIS and had
preached often in Western New York.

SEVEN NATIONS ARE IN DEFAULT
ON BOND INTEREST PAYMENTS

With the formation last year OF the
great nitrate trust known as Cosach
1Compania de Satire de Chile, which
united private nitrate operating COM
panies with the Chilean government
in production of nitrate. a change was
made in revenue collections for Chile.
Heretofore, private capital mined the nj
trates and paid to the government an
export tax on shipments. increasing
competition from synthetic nitrate pro-
ducers for several years has cut into
the Chilean industry. AS means OF
meeting more successfully this COM
petition, the government turned over
its nitrate holdings to the new company,
agreed to forego collection of an export
tax and hoped to make good the loss
in revenue through profit Of the new
concern. The government was given
large stake in the shares.
1t had been hoped that the new trust
would be able to come to an agreement
with its competitors on prices and mar
kets. Today 1t develops that, for the
time being at least. such negotiations
have failed. Cosach needed large
sum to begin with and a loan f1oated
a few months ago in London was left
largely on the hands of the under
writer's. Chile necessarily is experience

source. The extreme depression in cop
per also is cutting into the revenues.
Floating Debt Increases.
Chile has had no previous defaults
since 1845, although by agreement with
bondholders, amortization of external
debt was deferred between 1880 and
1884 on account of conditions arising
out of the war Of 1879. Chile's floating
debt has considerably increased in the
last year Owing to inability to borrow
at long terms. Direct debt at the close
of 1880 was 2,941 100000 pesos. In
direct debt, comprising government
guaranty obligations, was 1,164,o00-
900. Most of both classes of debt is
external.
Whether the moratorium bill will be
extended beyond August, the date set,
is a question. Heavy payments fall due
in October and December. A special
banking credit was arranged for July
last to take care of the interest due
on that date on Chile's most important
dollar loan.
