I am jow thoroughly con vinced that the wages which they have hiin paying some of tholr men lire basoil on a starvation schedule. 'Fifteen more dollars a day paid out by the contractors In wages would set tle the whole dlltloulty. Hut these men resist. Trtey refuse to make any con cession, I asked them to pay Jl.SSH a day to the ISO men who lead the strike Instead of as before, t ut they would not list. mi to this propo sition. "The ordinal demand of the striker's was for $1 30 a day Instead "f M.00, but the striken are willing to come half way. Now this U'a cents a day for 150 men would amount to how much? Fif teen dollars. Is that not rather a low price of a strike Involving openscg of thousands of dollar and the happiness of TOO people'.' "These strikers are utterly helpless.

INDICATIONS FOR GOOD YEAR Market Opened With Prices Raagisx From Sii to Seves Cet trje Fleet oi the Riier. The opening of the fishing1 season Sunday proved a welcome surprise to the dealers on shore and to such of the fishermen as waited for the legal time before, laying their nets. The run of fish was of the kind gen erally found in the river on Feburary of each year. They are a smaller sal mon than the Chinook, averaging from 18 to 25 pounds In weight. Mixed with the February fish, however, are a num ber of genuine Chinook, or spring sal mon, and this fact, the fishermen say, indicates that the usual spring vun will follow in and mix with the belated February fish, thus giving a grtater catch than usual. The catch reported Sunday, accord ing to reports received Ly the secre tary of the Fisherman's Union, was much larger 'han any optniii day for the past four years. Individual boats merely from noon Sunday to Monday morning averaged only ten to fifteen fish per boat, with a total aver age weight of from 2D0 to 300 pounds. TAX nElHVTIOX IMPOSSIBLE, Legislation Cannot He Had for That Turpose at This Session. NKVV YORK. April 1 A special to the Tribune from Washington, says: Information acquired as the result of Inquiries among leading and iniluentlal members cf the majority In congress in the course of last week does not I justify or encourage th.' belief thai . - " - tractlna any serious etlort to reuuee taxation wcrH In earnest. will be made at the present session. It Is barely possible that such an effort might be made as regards a few articles of taxation If it could be confined to them alone, but even that would not be probable In view of the nejr approach of a presidential cam paign and election and the grand de sire of the leaders of both the great political parties to bring the session to an end as early as practicable. Statesmen and politicians of experi ence are nearly all Inclined to fight shy of such Ugislallon In a presidential, of such legislation in a presi dential year. The year 1SSS was an exception, it Is true, but the leaders of the party which forced the tariff Issue to the front and passed a tariff bill through one branch of congress then will not soon forget the disaster which over took the party on that account and the opjiosite party will long remain and profit by it. Besides, the disposition of the treas ury surplus has not yet become so ur gent a question and one demanding so speedy solution as it was twelve or bi'jught In, It makes little difference whether there are cavalry or foot sol diers, th-re will be trouble and lots of it. Of course, sooner or Inter might w:ll conqii'T, but I fear for the hunt consequences." "You do not mean that there will be uiiy international complication- re sulting from the us of force?" was asked. "That, I eannt say at this time," was the answer. "The armistice which the strikers pledged lne that they would maintain has been maintained. This is due in largo part, I believe, to the fact that no troops were sent up there. Tho return of this sudden move ment I cannot fatho.n unless the con firm has decut-d to begin "The story that the Italians In ti. gulch had dynamite all ready for use Saturday, I still consider as utter bosh, The deputies at first made a great hur rah about it, and said that troops were needed to combat such infernal tactics, To snow them that the whole story was pure fancy I offered to go In the villages and pound the Moors and walls with a sledge hammer. When they saw I was in earnest they did not say anything more about dynamite." The consul-general will go today to Crotun Dam. He will again confer with Superintendent Ooldsborough and the leaders of the strikers. iiiiP HIGH CHURCH DEFENDED. An Englioh Priest's Talk to New York Episcopalians.

''We, In England, are passing through a most anxious time," he said. "At this moment the war absorbs public notice, and we are enjoying a tempo rary lull, hut It Is only temporary and I fear we have much trouble ahead. When the archbishops delivered their preposterous Judgment last July. Cath In s were dumfounded, because most of them thought that at least It would be a compromise odious as compromise always is, when matters of 'Catholic faith and practice are at stake. "But the JudgTent being what It was, the right course would have been for Catholics to present a united front anil finally to refuse obedience. That the decision was only an opinion we have the primate's own authority for stating. Unfortunately Catholics did not act together, and many of those priests whom we had looked up to as pillars of the faith were the first to yield, some through sheer panic, others through what I think a mistaken sense of duty. "Thank God there are some who are firm. Their positions are very difficult, and in um; dioceses the bishops are pursuing a course of systematic per secution of these priests who will not betray their people by surrendering their Catholic principles. "I have maintained throughout that Incense must be fought for vigorously, because the real attack is not upon it but upon the whole doctrine of the Eu charist. It is the real point that Kenslt and all the blatant protestants of England hate, and it Is the Catholic continues as it is there is every lea- son to expect a steady and constant- i f the merchant marine or an inter )y increased run of fine fish.

"I feel, many Catholics feel, that the only remedy for the evil is disestab lishment. In the days when every member of Parliament was, at least nominally, 'a churchman, that connec tion between church and state was pos sible, but now, when parliament con tains men of all religions and of no re ligion, the connection Is an anomaly and If parliament should attempt to revise the prayer book, a contingency by no means Impossible, I tremble to think what the result would be. "I dislike to see old things disturbed, but my convlctl jn is that we Catholics in England should work for the com plete Independence of the church, and you here will, I fell sure assist us with your prayers."
