Multnomah Athletes Vic
tors at Vancouver.
SPOKANE TAKES SEGOND
Joe Pearson the Star of the
Day's Sport.
CAPTURES THREE SPRINTS
Six First Places Go to Multnomah
and Seven to Spokane, but the
Home Team Wins by 60
Points to 51.
VANCOUVER. B. C., July 2. (Special.)
Multnomah again scooped up Spokane
and won the annual meet of the North
Pacific Amateur Athletic Association,
held here today. As expected, Spokane
made the most firsts, seven to Multno
mah's six, but Multnomah came out
strong In the second string, having six
seconds and 12 thirds against five seconds
and one third of Spokane, and won the
day. Mulnomah aggregated 00 points;
Spo&en 5L and Vancouver 1L
Multnomah. won on account of the gen
eral strength of its team, not counting on
a few men, as In the case of Spokane.
Those few men from Washington were
good, but they had no backing. Joe Pear
son was really the biggest man oh the
field, winning the 100 and 220-yard dasher
and the quarter-mile run, Smlthson and
Williams trailing in after him In each
event but he could not do the whole
thing by himself, though he defeated Ker
rigan In the last lap of the relay race.
As expected, Merrltt won both the mile
and the half-mile for Spokane, and
Shearer, of Spokane, by putting the shot
88 feet 1 inches, won that event, but he
was only second in the hammer and 66
pound weight James, of Mulnomah, de
feating him in the former, and Hartney,
of Vancouver, in the latter.
The track matches were the best, the
greatest competition occurring in them.
Multnomah -was long on hurdles and field
events and not bad In the sprints, but
went away to the bad in the distances.
The weights were rather surprising, as
James was hardly expected to win the 16
pound hammer throw, and Hartney, of
Vancouver, by cutting in on Shearer in
the 56-pound -weight did Multnomah a
good turn.
It was a meet of good events, but no
new records. The events all came out
much as was expected, Kerrigan's win
ning In the high Jump against Spokane,
howevor, being unexpected on account ot
Kerrigan's bad ankle. The field events
were dono on turf, -which none of the
'American contestants were used to, but
they all did well notwithstanding. A foul
In the half-mile threw out the first two
men, the event going to the third man,
Merrltt of Spokane. The relay race go
ing to Spokane was no surprise, but there
was a nandsome cup to be won, and
Multnomah would have liked to have had
it
AH the contestants expressed them
selves more than satisfied with their
treatment In the Canadian city and at tho
hands of their rivals. Captain Kerrigan,
of Multnomah, said after the meet had
been won, that his team had an advan
tage in the number of men, having 11 to
Spokane's nine. Vancouver was strong
in certain events, but had no men who
could no anything in the sprints or field
events requiring agility.

TENNIS, BY ELECTRIC LIGHT.
Irvlngton Club Enjoys Good Sport
Goss Defeats Major Bethel.
Tennis by electric light Is unique In
Portland, and never was tried before it
was used on the Irvlngton courts, where
there were soma ood sets played off last
night The earlier games were played be
fore dark, but as all the sets could not
have been played before nightfall, long
rows of electrVc bulbs were strung along
the top of the netting, and the light being
turned on. the later games were played by
their aid.
Irvlngton had Its lions in Major W. A.
Bethel and Walter Goss, who played three
sets, all fast playing, though Goss won all
three. The fact that these men who are
the best tennis players In the state, were
to play brought out a large crowd of spec
tators, -who were treated to tennis of the
most scientific kind. Bethel lost out on
his volleying, which was not as perfect aa
that of Goss, though he was more than a
match for him at long range. Goss played
his old,' steady game, placing the ball with
perfect accuracy. The scores were 6-2, 6-2,
6-1.
,JThe menVand. women's doubles that fol
lowed -wjrejthe .games flnlshedby electric.
light The women's doubles were played
by Mrs. "Walter M. Cooke and Miss Lilian
Fox, against Miss Joseph! and Miss Helt
Bhu. The latter won both seta played, the
last being a deuce set and hotly played.
The loss of this set was a blow to Ir
vington's pride, that suburb justly boast
ing of the best courts In town, and having
many good players, especially among the
women. Miss Heltshu and Miss Josephl In
a way represented the Multnomah players,
and Irvlngton felt that It had lost some
of its tennis prestige by the defeat.
Meanwhile there were men's doubles of
one fast set being played on the nearer
court. Cook and Bethel were matched
against Goss and Scott Cook and Bethel
won the set. G-i.

HAY WRITES SENATOR FOSTER
Dominion Government Suggests That
the Rathbun-Wakeham Report
Can Be Taken as a Basis for
Further Negotiations.
TACOMA, Wash.. July 2. (Speclal.)
Tho Impression recently conveyed in
Washington dispatcher that the Cana
dian Government was opposed to pro
ceeding further with the negotiations
which Senator Foster has been carrying
on for Joint International fish hatcheries
on the Fraser River, Is not sustained
by the following self-explanatory letter:
"DEPARTMENT OF STATE, Washing
ton. D. C, June 17, ISM The Honorable
A. G. Foster, United States Senate: Sir
Referring to our letter of March 23,
last and to the department's acknowl
edgment of April 6, on the subject of a
proposed Informal conference between
representatives of the United States and
Canada to consider the condition of the
salmon Industry on the Fraser River and
Puget Sound regions, I have the honor
to Inclose, for the consideration of the
fishery officials of the State of Washing
ton, a copy of a note from the British
Ambassador communicating the opinion
of the Canadian Government as to what
action may be taken. The department
will be pleased to receive the views of
the fishery officials of Washington with
reference to the suggestions made by the
Canadian authorities. I have the honor
to be sir, jour most obedient sorvant,
"JOHN HAY."
Inclosure From British Embassy, No.
124, June 13, 1904, with inclosure:
"LENOX, June 13. 1904. Sir: With ref
erence to your note, 64, of April 6, I have
t
the honor to inform you that I have re
ceived a dispatch from the Governor
General of Canada relatlye to. the pro
posed informal conference between rep
resentatives of the United States and
Canada to consider the conditions of the
salmon Industry In the Fraser River and
Puget Sound regions.
"Lord MInto Informs me that the Min
ister of Fisheries and Marine observes
that the matter has already been consid
ered by the joint, commission appointed
In. December, 15927 a copy of whose re-,
port I have' the honor to enclose!. This;
report, submitted on December 31, 1S96..
contains the joint recommendations of
Dr. Wakeham. the British representative,
and Mr. Richard Rathbun, the represen
tative of the United States.
"The Canadian Government are of the
opinion that these recommepdatlons
would appear to furnish aultable basis
for correspondence as to what action can
be taken, and they suggest that this
would possibly obviate the necessity for
the proposed informal conference.
"Perhaps you would be disposed to con
sider this suggestion. I have the honor
to be, with the highest consideration, sir,
your most obedient, humble servant
"H. M. DURAND.
"The Hon. John Hay, etc, etc."
The report referred to contains 145
closely printed pages, 14 of which deal
with the question at Issue, and which
Senator Foster has been laboring to ad
Just For several years state officials
and fishing Interests have tried to bring
the difficult question to a head, but with
out success. The above is the first posi
tive Intimation that the Canadians would
reopen the matter, and, Judging from, the
pertinent case that has been presented to
the State Department by Senator Fos
ter, it Is believed a satisfactory under--standing
will be reached.
Some of the conclusions of the Rathbun
Wakeham report have been a serious
stumbling block all along. They found
no decrease In the abundance of any of
tho salmon species. Therefore, they did
not recommend artificial propagation.
They urged protective measures, how
ever, and said the efforts of the Cana
dians toward Increasing the supply of
cockeyes by fish culture methods were
successful. They then added that inas
much as the demand was growing and
might soon exceed the supply, "we ven
ture to suggest the advantages to be
gained by the artificial hatching of that
.species."
Consequently the report of the Joint
commission, the Inception of which be
gan with a diplomatic note away back
in October, 1S92, emanating from, the Hon.
John W. Foster, then In charge of the
State Department, and addressed to the
British Ambassador, tentatively favors
artificial propagation. The methods of
taking fish by tho Americana and Cana
dians has been another stumbling block
but with the expressed willingness of
the Canadian Government to reopen the
question with the Rathbun-Wakeham
report as a basis, furnishes a definite
plan of procedure. Washington, as well
as British Columbia salmon fishery Inter
ests, would be greatly benefited by Inter
national fish hatcheries.
ACCEPTS OFFER OF BRITAIN.
Russia Will Allow Her to Protect
Seal Fisheries.
ST. PETERSBURG, July 2.The Rus
sian Government has accepted the offer
of Great Britain to police and protect the
seal fisheries of the Kommandor and Cop
per Islands, oft Kamchatka. On learning
the Intention of Japanese and British seal
ers to taKe advantage of the present war
to devastate the herds on the islands, and
appreciating the difficulty of Russia at
present to detail warships for this pur
pose. Great Britain volunteered to under
take the task, provided the Russian gov
ernment would allow British warships to
cruise, coal and take on board supplies &
Kamchatka. Russia gladly accepted and
today informed the British Embassy 6f
its acquiescence.
Viceroy Alexleff, who was consulted on
the subject, has telegraphed that British
cruisers will be afforded every facility at
Petropavlovsk to draw half the stock of
coal, amounting to 2000 tons. The British
ships will only exercise the right of
search In case of British and Japanese
vessels.
Great Britain's act Is sure to have great
effect on Russian public sentiment In
creasing the good feeling which is neces
sary as a basis for a Russo-Britlsh un
derstanding, which all the diplomats are
convinced Is close to the heart of the Brit
ish monarch.

Report to Hay.
PARIS. July 2. The American Em

that F. Kent Loomls, who disappeared
from the steamer Kaiser Wilhelm II. will
be found alive. Letters to that effect
have been forwarded to the American
State Department. The letters report
that a thorough official Inquiry be made
of the officers of the Kaiser Wilhelm H

as her stops at Cherbourg, Southamp
ton and Plymouth are too brief to permit
of official investigation.
Assistant Secretary of State Loomls
will receive Monday a typewritten letter
of over a dozen pages from William H.
Ellis, who accompanied Loomls from New
York, covering the most minute details
of his brother's doings up to the time
of his disappearance. Although Ellis de
clined publicly to discuss the case, he
told the officials that he last saw Loomls
between 10 and 11 o'clock at night as
the steamer entered Plymouth.
