The ordinance passed by the Common
Council without dissent. allowing the Clay

city. was reported.
Mr.. Glasgow opposed the ordinance, and
said that some OF the citizens who advO-
Gated the measure did not understand the
matter as well as he did, and that a leading
citizen had told him as much, emphasizing
the expression by saying that he did not
want his name 10 influence his vote In the
Board.
Mr.. Glasgow went into a legal argu-
ment to show the inadvisability OF passing
the ordinance. and dwelt at length on this
branch OF the subject.
MIR. Taylor sent up petition from a
large number OF the leading citizens, busi-
ness men OF the city, asking that the CLAW
telephone be allowed the right to operate
In the city.
Mr.. Chaffin said he was surprised at Mr..
Glasgow -
At this point the chairman interrupted
Mr.. Chatin TO read communication from
the Chamber OF Commerce, sent through
its secretary, and asking the City Council
to accord the Clay telephone the right to
run It's lines In the city.
Mr.. Page at this point offered the fol-
lowing amendment:
.sThat the said company, should 1t at
any time cease to operate Its franchise,
whatever may be the cause OF such cessa-
tiop, shall within four weeks thereafter, on
the order Of the City Engineer, remove the
poles so set up by IL and shall restore to

pany.

The Chinese Must Go.
ACTION OF THE GOVERNMENT OF BRITISH
1OI INfpIl

ACTION OF The GOVERNMENT OF BRITISH
COLUMBIA.
An Ottawa telegram says: The British
Columbia Government have forwarded .
petitition to the GOyernOr-General asking
that the Dominion Government bring in
bill to restrict Chinese immigration into
that province. The address, which was
received by Lord LansdOwne to-day, sets
forth the views OF the Provincial Gov
eminent in a very positive manner
The growing evil of Chinese immi-
grafton is referred to, which they
say can only be stopped by restrictive
legislation. The Chinese population OF
the province is placed at $4,000, the ma
iority OF whom were brought over by the
Canadian Pacific railway contractors in g
state of comparative restitution. They are
now thrown out Of employment and be-
come charge on the revenue OF the cOun
try. The influx of this undesirable elias:
of immigrants, it is represented, works
seriously against the province beng settled
by white population, owing to the de
grading habits and associations OF the
Cinnamon. They are beyond sanitary
control. neglect their sick, and defeat jus
tice by secret organizations. Such is The
representation made to Lord Lansdowne o.
the condition OF the Chinese in British
Columbia. and in asking for restrictive
legislation, the Government of the Pro
vince also asks that, as in the case Of the
Provincial Government and Municipal
Council. they NAV be excluded from al
employment on public works.
The Provincial Government has taken
the initiative with the view to driving the
Chinese out Of the country, but the power
to prevent immigration rests alone with
the Dominion Government. A bill la:
been introduced by the Government in the
Provincial Legislature making it compul
sorry for every Chinese person over four
teen years OF age to take license, fol
which 500 will have to I've pad annually
failing to do which fine OF $40 will bt
imposed. Any one employing Chinamar
who has not license in his possession will
be liable 10 fine OF $50.

OUTLINES or CAREER THAT COULD DE
WORKED UP TO 90 BETWEEN YELLOW
COVERS.
From the Bangor Commercial
Some years before the late war. Otis Bur
ION. a former resident of Bangor, LETT mere
70 secl his fortunes In the West. He
drifted TO Missouri. where he met an ac-
complished young lady, with whom ne ieIl
In love. She was pleased with him, but
before he made his passion known sne
moved to distant part OF the SOUTH.
About this time the war broke out and the
two soon lost all traces OF each other. Bur
ton Joined the Union army and was soon
afterward wounded, and as II was supposed
he would die, letter was sent TO MS
mother informing her that her son could
not live. He. however, was blessed WIN
n good constitution and recovered. lie
went back with his regiment and was ue-
tailed with company TO take supplies
across the plans. The party was attacked
by Indians and every man in the force
except Burton killed. He was reported TO
have been slain with the rest. The In
dams decided to let him live and took him
a prisoner to their retreat in the mountains
OF the Southwest. He gradually recovered
from wounds he had received In the en-
counter, made himself agreeable to his cap
tors, and adapted himself TO their ways OF
living.
After he had been IN captivity six months
or more he was allowed more liberty, and
now began to watch for a chance to escape.
The Indians had stolen number OF ponies.
and among these was one which Burton's
practiced eve showed him was highly bred.
swift, and with speed and endurance.
This pony was cared for and petted by
Burton, and he was allowed TO ride HIM.
One day he strayed away further than
usual, and though not acquainted with the
country made dash for liberty. He was
closely pursued, but the gallant little pony
had the .'bottom" for a winning race.
He rode for three days, and then began to
see that he was getting out OF the hostile
country. In the distance he saw house
which he knew must be inhabited by
whites. He shouted with joy, feeling that
he had gained freedom at last. He kno ked
at the door OF the house and n surprise
awaited him. 1t was opened by the woman
he had loved in lang syne. He was at
once recognized and received hearty
welcome. Burton told his adventures and
narrow escapes to willing listener. She,
too. told her story. She had married 4
Confederate officer who was afterwards
killed in battle, and she now owned the
farm she occupied.
Is it necessary to tell the rest? They
were be.rothed. there was 4 merry we'd
ding. and the happy couple are still living
in a Southwest State.
