Many have\ndismissed the matter with the comment tbat the Japanese, like many\nOrientals, place but a small value on\nhuman life; others lo a blind obedience to thc Mikado, a sort of un.\nreasoning brute impulse that eliminates common sense and replaces it\nwith frenzy. Baron Siiyeniatsu, one\not thc leading statesmen of Japan,\n' comes to the defence ot his country\nmen, saying that the Japanese thoroughly realize the danger and arc by\nno means careless of life; but that\nthey arc moved by pure patriotic\nlove of country that teaches them\nwhat was incalctilated into the ancient Romans, liefore the enervating\ninfluences of great wealth and luxury\nheld sway\u2014thai if is a sweet and\nglorious tiling to die for the fatherland. He cites in support of bis re\nmarks an imperial decree that certainty embodies a beautitil! ideal, the\nFundamental principle of ethics whicli\nfor many generations have been\ntaught to the Japanese. In part it\nsays:\n\"II is our wish that, you, our loyal subjects, nt all times honor and\nobey yonr parents and love your brothers and sisters. Man and wile\nshould live together in peace and\nlove.

Fishine | dere\"dallt to take steps hy   way  of\n1ms been going on from time immetm-\no'riai, and it is the wonder of tlic inspector that there arc any salmon\nleft along the 'Northern Ilritish Columbia coast.\nAs a result of his investigations,\nInspector Williams recommends tlrjo\ni appointment of three special guardians, one tor the Babinc Lake and\nRiver district; one for Htuollon, and\none for the S-eens River below Ha\/.-\neltoh. Tire special oltfccrs would bo\nrequired to serve during the months\nol June, July, August and September of each year. Unless the special\nofficers arc granted the inspector\n\u2022 states lhat the fisheries regulations\nsimply cannot be enforced, as the Indians pay no attention to ummaiids\nunenforced by a show of tuthoirity.\nActing on instruct ions from Inspector Williams,  Fishery Olliccrs Hans\nHelgcseu and Nordscbow went up tlie'\nSkcetia and arrived at   lri\/.el';,)ii    on\nScptcmliei' 0th last.    There tlicy en.\ngaged     Indians and iiorscs, and lelt\nlor Babinc    Lake on Soplemliei 12.\nreached Haiiine Indian village, siny-\nfive miics distant from ffazelfrin\nIndians    wns away, but Chief Alio\n'rofireseti'te'd liinr.   Alio was with the\nBabinc     Indians,   wiio werc fishing\nseven miles down the IJnhinc River.\nThe fishery olliccrr: went to tlle Indians' fishing station on tlie Ilarliiire\nRiver and there they found two barricades     thrown     across the entire\nwidth nf the .stream.      Tlie barriers\nwere Irnlf a mile apart.   Fishing was\nin full    swing,    and the river was\ncrowded    wilh Indians.    While   lire\nlojvcr barricade stopped all the salmon, the Indians occasionally avowed sonic through so lhat the operators of the upper barricade could secure  a lair supply of fish.      There\nbarricades were stoutly and seicnliii-\ncally built.    Posts were driven  into\nihe bed of the stream at intervals ol\neight leet.   At this point the river is\ntwo hundred feet deep. Sloping braces hacked up the posts, and across\nthe entire wall were stout stringer:;\nbanked vertically on tlie npriver side\nwith panels of slats interwoven witli\nbark. Thc wall reached from thc bed\nof   the    river   lo a point four feet\naliave water-level.   Not a single fish\ncould penetrate thc barrier.\nIn the uprives side of thc dam\nwere round thirteen tishtraps or bins,\neach set opposite a hole made in the\npanels. Through these holes, which\ncould be opened and closed at will,\nthe fish could pass up and into the\nbins, 'i'he opening would then \u25a0 he\nclosed and thc fish removed from tlie\nbins with gaff hooks.\nOllicer  Ilclgescn  lound  Chief Alio\nan old man, and informed him that\nthe barricades    must lie destroyed ;\ntbat thc Indians must not fish tnoro\nUlan a third of the channel with nrrd\nor other contrivances, and must also\nobserve the close season.   Alio   answered that the Indians' rights    to\nbarricade rivers had not been disputed in tlie memory ol man-    II it was\ntaken away,    tlic old people   would\nstarve.    Tlic Indians must sell   fish\nto secure other food for themselves,\nAlio observed that it wgs unjust lor\nthe Government to stop the Indians\ncatching salmon fur sale, when    it\nallowed the emitters lo do the   very\nthing,   lie complained that the fanners on the lower Skeena did     not\nallow many fish tn come up stream,\nmid sometimes the Indians could not\nealcli sufficient lor their needs. Years\nago the water below his barricades\nhad liecn alive with a solid mass   of\nlisli, but latterly   Ulc   supply    was\ntrcniiiiishiiig steadily.\nSome of tllc Indians at this conference were inclined lo resist tho\nofficer,' Finally, however, Helgcson\nprevailed on six men to accept wages\nto destroy  llie    barricades.    Suhse-\nOn September 21 the officers reach-,\ncd Fifleciimilc River. It was deserted, hut two thousand llsh were counted    on    the racks.   The barricade\nwas    destroyed.     A short distance\nabove the \u25a0 barricade a pormanent dam\nwas    discovered!    Behind it was a\nmultitude   ol    dead and dying fish.\nThe .stench    from the decaying fish\nwas something frightful. This  dam\nwas   chopped    out and the channel\ncleared.\nBeaver River at the head of Bahine Lake, was reached on September 22. Hall a mile upstream another barricade was found. All the\nIndians had left, as the fishing was\nover. If not prevented by the barricade, the salmon would go up the\nBeaver ten miles to Bear Creek to\nspawn. Thc barricade on the Beaver had two tunnels leading to traps\nIt was chopped out.\nIt is estimated hy tlic officers that I\ntiicre arc a thousand Indian families in the district, or about three\nliousand Indians altogether. One\nthousand dried salmon arc required\nby each lainily every year which\nmakes a total of 1,000,000 fish necessary to the sustenance of life.\nThe fish nob required lor food are\ntraded by the Indians to storekeepers, trappers, prospectors and interior Indians, and it is estimated altogether 2,000,0110 must he slaughtered every year near the spawning\ngraunds liefore they have a chance\nto spawn.\nappeal to the minister ol justice and\nto continue the employment of the\nassociate counsel in connection therewith, which was done.\nUpon the execution of La Belle it\nis alleged further instructions were\nreceived hy the plaintiff to take such\nsteps as were necessary to have the\nbody decently interred, in the doing\nof which cither expenses and liabilities were incurred incidental to thc\nsaid burial.

The men were\ntried, convicted and executed. The\n[World says:\n'Many will.rcmcnih-r the revolting\ncircumstances connected with the\ndeed, how Bowdoin, Constantino and\nBouthillel were lured under the guise\nol friendship to a lonely islet near\nth'.' mouth of the Stewart river and\nthere killed in cold blood, their bird-\nconsigned to tlic Yukon, which\nlater gave up its dead and made possible the Oxing of the crime upon the\nmurderers,' whose lives weue exacted\nIan the scaffold as penalty demanded\nby inexorable justice.\nTlic incident would havo been almost lorgottch were it not lor thc\nissuance ol the writ in the action\nrclcrred to.
