A special dispatch to the Toronto,
Canada, Star from Vancouver, British
Columbia, under date of August 26,
says:
The situation with reference to tlie
arrivals of Asiatics reached an acute
stage last night, when men cried at
the meeting of the Oriental Exclusion
league: “Let us go to the next boat
which brings in Orientals with guns
In our hands aud prevent them land-
ing.'’
This cry was taken up vigorously,
though no official action was taken.
Further, it was urged that a strict
boycott should be established against
all lumber sawed by Orieutais, all
mines worked, and all fish handled.
All the canneries are worked by these
people.
The situations daily is growing
more critical in all British Columbia.
A special dispatch to the same pa-
per from Ottawa under the same date
says:
It is hoped that as a result of the
consideration that has been given to
the question of Japanese immigration
Into British Columbia by the Domin-
ion government, moans will be found
of preventing atiy ovortloodiug of the
labor market on the Pacific coast, and
(bat this will be done by agreement
with the Japanese authorities and
withoiitout either resort, to violence of
any breach of the treaty made with
mikado's govern ment last year.
Some eight years ago the Japanese
government .'.voluntarily agreed that

Canada should not be more Ilian five
or six hundred yearly. This was done
in the interest of good relations with
the Dominion and to prevent any over
flooding of the labor market on Die
Pacific coast, which would lie fraught
with disaster even to iho Japanese
themselves.
Since the first of the year, however,
2,00(1 Japanese have arrived at the
British Columbia ports from Honolulu
and about 1,800 from Japan itself, of
whom, however, according to the
Japanese consul, one half have been
merely In transit. io the i’nlted States.
Ti is suggested that a new contract
should be made with the Japanese au-
thorities by means of which not more
than 500 or 600 Japanese per year
shall be admitted to this country,

land of flowers direct or from Mono-

Keene’s unbeaten 2-year-old Colon,
son of Great Commander, won the
Futurity stakes at Sheep,shead May to-
day. He was a 1 to ,’i favorite over
the other seven entries.
it was the smallest field that ever
went to the post in a Futurity race
in the twenty years of the race, but
this fact detracted little from the per
formanre. Knocked bark at the start
of th*- slx-furloug dash and badly shut
off just before flu- elbow of the chut,e
was reached. Colon led his field Tiy
two lengths at the finish, and estab-
lished a m w record for the race of
1:11 1-3
By his victory Colon added’ $27,530
to the enormous sums won this i-at
by the horses of 'he Keene stable.
Owing to the limited field, the Fu-
turity was the smallest ever contested
for, amounting tn gross to only a frui -
tion more than $35,000, against a
high value of $77,000 In 1890.

foundation in fact.
The exact situation Is this: 8!nc«
the 18th of June, when the disease

service lias adopted vigorous measures
to keep the disease from spreading
and lo stamp It out.

systematically assigned. The city
an.l count> hospital, where moat of
tin- eleven patients have been treated,
is quarantined and lias been under
thorough film I gat Ion fora week. Kven

Then- is no scare. The public la

veloped. The authorities, municipal

REMOVING BANK RESTRICTION
Because Legislature Only Repealed
Act Againet Loans on Personal Se-
curities. Hiatus Exist*.
Austin. Tex, Aug 29.—The last leg-
islature intended to amend the law
governing savings banks so that "lass
ol banks could loan money on person-
al securities. A Dill was passed re-
pealing that section of the law which
prohibited savings banks from loan-
ing money on personal securities, but
failed to grant the affirmative power
to them to do so. The seqi'Ctary ,ol„^
slate says lie will refuse lo grant
rlniiicr• to savings hanks for that,
purpose without affirmative power
from lie- legislature, and consequently
lie- action of the legislature In regard
io Ibis hill Is void The confusion
probably came as the result of two
bills being Introduced on the same
