Northern Pacific Seeking to Recover Certain Lands Along the Columbia. T.woma. Wash., July 9. Trial was commenced today in the federal court of ihe suit brought last year by the North ern Pacific railway against several hun dred families occupying lands which the railway company claims along the Co lumbia river In Cowllta ami Clark coun ties.. The suit involves the title to the Northern Pacific land grant for forty miles east of Kalama. The comi-any claims title to the grant under the act of 1S70. which extended the land gr.fnt on each side of the railway to be built from Kalama to Taeoma. Under the act of lv'd a land grant had leen given from WaJluI.i to Kalama and Portland, but was forfeited. In 1S95 Secretary Smith rendered a decision holding that when the act of 170 took effect the lands . dispute were not conveyed, having -i appropriated by the previous grant, sub sequently forfeited, and the company was asked to reoonvey to the government the lands already patented. The company holds that the grunts taken together were continuous, and has refused to re- convey. When the suit was filed last year nn Injunction was secured prevent-. ing action by any of the parties inter ested jiendi-ng linal adjudication. A PIC. CROWD. San Francisco.

Ntw York, July 9 Hrodstreet'a tomor row will any: There Is only n moderate volume of trade throughout the country, more note worthy changes !.eing checked In the demand ln the Went and Northwest, due to excessive heat awl storms, continued favorable reports as to cereal and other crop prosj-cts, and disturbances ln In dustrial llaes, due to strike of about 120, M bituminous coal miners. The reluc tance of the West Virginia oieratives to join in the strike complicate the situation. Prospect of ftn early settle ment of the tariff has strengthened feeling of hopefulness that autumn will bring a revival of consumptive demand. Prices show an advance of one-fifth of one per cent during June. DUN ON HE STRIKE. Thinks It Will Uutt a Very Long Time. New York. July 9. R. Q. Dun & Co.'a Review will aay: The strike of bituminous coal miners ha taken 73,0 or more from work and threatens to restrict supplies ot fuel In some quarters, though the Went Virginia and some other miners which declined to take part claim to be able to meet the Eastern demand for some months. In the West the strike Is by no means unit edly sustained, and an Impression pre vails that ll will not last long. TROUBLE OX THE FRAZER. Cannerymen Do Not Like to Pay a Duty on Their Fish. Vancouver. B. C. July 9. A new diffi culty confronted the Frater river conneri today by the announcement that a duty of one cent per fish would be charged on all salmon brought In from the Amer ican side. As most of the canners have fish traps on the American side at Point Roberts, the duty. If enforced, will be a conslderaWe Item ln the expenses of the canners. It is claimed by the can ners that iwhile they had not official notice that the duty would not be charg ed, verbal assurances were given both by the local members of parliament and officials of the marine and fisheries de partment that such a course would not he adopted. They were thus highly In dignant at the action of the government. There Is no change In the situation re garding the dispute between the canners and fishermen as to the price of fish. Canners claim they will not pay more than 10 cents, and that they will get plenty of fishermen. Sockeyes are now commencing to run. and It Is expected that fishing will be started Sunday.
