AFRAID OF THE PLAGUE.

A CANADIAN MEMBER or PARLIAMENT WHO
FEARS THE RUSSIAN EPIDEMIC MAY REACH
THE DoMINIoN--ADvIcE OF SIR JOHN A. MAC
DONALD.
OTTAWA, Ont. Feb. 81. 1872
In the House of Commons Mr.. Charlton moved an
address to the Governor General, praying that in
view Of the existence of the plague in Russia and OF
its threatened progress westward and the probability
that emigration will take place from Russia to Canada
during the present year to considerable extent. such
quarantine and sanitary regulations against infected
countries or districts may be determined upon ana
enforced at Canadian seaports and upon the Canadian
frontier rs shall furnish, far ntellg gent Efforts
may Do able to do so, preycntive5 ana safeguards
against the introduction and spread of pestilence
Sir John A. Macdonald said the law rs 1t now cx-
listed clothed the with sufficient authority
To prevent the introduction OF this disease far
the most rigid quarantine could effect that object.
There WAS therefore necessity for their hands to
be strengthened by vote OF this House. 1t was the
duty of tho government to carry ont the law, and
more especially il the presence of threatened dan
ger of this kind. Canada protected by the quar-
antine regulations OF the Western nations of Europe
which had taken rigid steps to prevent the spread OF
the disease outwardly by tho broad Atlantic. and
by our own quarantine laws. The government
would that these regulations carried out TO
the utmost extent and with the utmost prompttudc.
In addition protected by steps taken by the
United States and there little danger of this fatal
disease reaching 1t was undesirable that panic
should be excited in the country by motion of the
kind With regard to the quarantine regulations OF
Quebec it would not be well to enforce them oppres
sively.
Mr. Charlton withdrew his motion on tho assurance
of the first Minister that the government would
carry out quarantine regulations.

CHINESE IMMIGRATION.
VIEWS OF CALIFORNIA MERcHANrs ON THE
COMMERCIAL ASPECTS OF THE PROPOSED Ex-
CLUsION or MoNGoIIANs

VIEWS OF CALIFORNIA MERCHANTS ON TIKI
COMMERCIAL ASPECTS OF THE PROPOSED Ex'
cLUsIoN or MoNGoLIANs.
SAN Francisco, Feb. Il. 1879
The Posi- this evening publishes interviews with a
number OF leading business on the subject OF
the Chinese bill under consideration in Con-
eress:-
Frederick l.. Castle, of Castle Brothers. thought
the commercial relations between this country and
China would be affected the least by the adop-
ton or rejection of the bill. Eastern merchants
know nothing. said he. of the Chinese question on
this coast. and what they say is not entitled to
serious consideration.
William I. Coleman said China would suffer far
more than the United States by restriction of COM
merco between the two countries. The cry of East
ern merchants that the passage of the bill will work
injurs to this country by dsorganizing commercial
relations with China is entirely without cause. If
China were to be botted out a country having
friendly commercial relations with the United States
l should still insist ON the passage OF the bill.
William A. Macondray. of Macondray Co.. said
he had not yet made up. his mind whether the adop-
ton OF the anttChineso bill would interfere with
the commercial relations between the countries.
He said however that with very few exceptions all
ships with carsoes Of Chinese products loaded at
Hong Kong and of any description of friendly
relations between China and the United States would
not interfere with the relations existing between
China and Great Britain and her colonies The pro-
ducts OF China would therefore continue to find their
way TO Hong Kong for shipment He thought ship
ping interests would suffer the extent that
would not pay without passenger traffic, and would
have to bc withdrawn.
Horace p. Fletcher. of Shcttuck & Fletcher. VIII o
has for several years been connected with a large
American commercial house in China, secuted the
idea that trade relations with that country could
be affected in the slightest degree by prohibition
OF Chinese immigration. He said the Chinese were
the last people in the world to be affected by
mental notions. They would buy goods where they
could get them cheapest, and sell them whore they
could get the highest price, despite any political
ton on our part.
THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE. FAVOR THE BILL.
George G. Perkins, president OF the Chamber of
Commerce. stated that several prominent members
had suggested that the Chamber should meet soon
rs possible to give voice to their sentiments regard
ing its passage and to draw up resolution 10 be
forwarded to President Hayes. He said that such a
meeting would be called for next Monday. He was
very certain that the $50 members OF that body
unanimously in favor OF the passage OF the bill.
