Little Brown Men Accept a Cut-Rate From the Canneries and Are Threatened With Attack. PREIES GRS VANCOUVER, B. C.. July 9.—The diffi- culties between Japanese and white fish- ermen for the salmon canneries of the Fraser River are approaching a climax. The whites, acting under orders from the union, have refused to go out because the canneries will not pay 25 cents per fish, while the Japanese accept the canners’ offer of 20 cents per fish. The result has been that since the opening of the ‘sal- mon season last week the Japanese have been in complete control of the fishing. Three thousand Japanese were fishing on the river to-day, but not a single white fisherman was in’ sight. There are 700 men on the roll of the white fishermen's unjon at the fishing village of Steveston, fifteen miles from Vancouver. Late this afternoon the white men on the Fraser forced the Japanese to hang up their nets. The whites and Indians, acting in con- cert, threatened to smash the boats and burn down the Japanese outfits if the Japanese made any attempt to go out this evening. Notwithstanding their su The whites are fully determined that not a fish shall be taken unless the Jap-| anese stand by them in their demand upon the canners for a 25-cent rate. Bloodshed was only averted this evening by the action of #he Japanese in not clashing with the order of the white fish- ermen. It remains with the Japanese to decide as to whether or not there will be an armed encounter, both sides being fully armed.

Spectal Dispatch to The Call VALLEJO, July 9.—Saturday night the marine guards at Mare Island discovered | four men prowling about the island, pre- | sumably in search of what they might The sentry hailed them and the four ran for a boat they had secreted in Two were captured and two the tules. The two who escaped reached escaped. the ¥ into service and conveyed the miscreants to some other place. The naval authori- ties communicated with the police of this city and turned over the captured pair, by name E. G. Munsey and Albert Ste- phens. The naval officers are sure they have two of an organized gang of thieves who have been systematically stealing goods from Mare Island of late Stephens and Munsey offered the guards $30 if they would release them.
