BRITISH ACT QUICKLY
 ON REPORTED ATTACK

PEIPING, July 20.-Unlimbering of machine guns in front of the Japanese Embassy this afternoon and with British marines drawn up in front, guns loaded and bay onets fixed, brought an immediate apology from officials of the Jap- anese Embassy regarding slurring of two Britishers who were walking on the opposite side of the street from the Embassy.
 The Britishers said they were minding their own business and walking along the street, when two Japanese sentries ran across and accosted them in terms of derision. One Japanese was felled by well directed blow to the jaw and the other anne running up when several British soldiers appeared. The Japanese sentries scrambled back to their side of the street but the British Embassy made an tn- mediate demand for an apology and got it.

Interference of
 Japanese in S.E.
 Alaska Predicted

Returning south following inspec- tion of the New England Fish Com pany canneries of which he is gen. eral superintendent, Oscar Bergseth this morning voiced the opinion that if Japanese encroachment of Alaskan salmon fishing is allowed to continue out to the Westward, there is little hope that the fleets will not soon commence activities off the southeast Alaskan shores.
 MT. Bergseth returned here on the Yukon after investigation of com- pany canneries to the westward. Although none of the New England canneries are located in the Bristol Bay region where the encroach- ments are occurring, he believes it will not be long before the Japanese continue their activities down the coast line, thereby interfering with the NEF. cannery of Cordova.
 While in Cordova, MT. Bergseth met Dr. Paul w. Beard of Stanford University who has been sent to the Territory to study causes of spoilage in the salmon canning in dustry. Voicing approval of Dr. Boards experiments, MT. Bergseth stated that great need exists for prevention of spoilage in the in- dustry, and that the research is of major importance to cannery out put.
 The cannery superintendent re- ported favorably on operations of the plants to the westward and states that a good season is indi- cated
 While in Juneau, Mir Bergseth has been stopping at the Gastineau Hotel.

HEAVY SALMON RUN STARTED,
 BRISTOL BAY
If It Keeps Up Through To- day There Will Be No
 Need, Early Closing

Alaska Agent l.. G. Wingard
 announced at o'clock this af-
 ternoon that new reports from
 Bristol Bay indicated that the
 heavy run was proving to be just
 a spurt and that it was gradu-
 ally diminishing. In view of this,
 he said he would renew his rec
 0mmendati0n for early closing,
 which would wind up the fish
 ing in that area on Thursday
 morning.
 After a week in which there were virtually no salmon caught in Bris- tol Bay causing officials to recom- mend early closing, the run has started suddenly and if it maintains it's present pace until tonight there will be no need for closing on Thursday morning as contemplated, it was reported by Alaska Agent L. G. Wingard today.
 Advices from the Bureau of Fish cries men in the district stated the heavy run started in some places last Saturday morning and in others Saturday afternoon and has been continuing since.
 We are watching it closely" Win gard said, and if it keeps up like this until tonight we will withdraw the recommendation that it be closed Thursday, letting the season run it's normal course or through next Sunday the regular closing time
 This is the latest in the history of Bristol Bay that run of this magnitude has been encountered, indicating that the backward wea- ther conditions have no doubt in- fluenced the fish run.
 These reports now coming in make it appear hopeful that fishing will improve at Chignik where it has been very poor but where we had one of the best escapements in 1892. We must also take into consid- eration that the run at Carluk was extremely good early in the season. v
 Commissioner Frank T. Bell at Washington is in close touch with the situation, the Alaska Agent said, and in the event the present big run proves only another squirt of only few days duration as has been the experience in Bristol Bay this season the necessity for closing early will still exist but should it continue through today the closing order will be withdrawn and the season permitted to run it's normal course.
 The favorable Bristol Bay reports today indicated the preseason fore cast of about million and quar- ter cases might be reached which was particularly encouraging after the poor returns of last week which pointed to a small pack of some thing over 100000 cases.
