A Chinese Puzzle.

OTTAWA, November 3.-Before taking
action with regard to the removal Of the
Chinese interpreter from Victoria the de
partment will see what effect the United
States exclusion bill will have on Chinese
immigration into Canada. It appears
from recent returns to the department
that large majority of the Chinese en-
tering Canada Of late have landed at Van
couver. The necessity for keeping inter
prefers at either port depends on the
trade Of the future, but no doubt owing
to the large Chinese trade done at Vic
toria, an interpreter will have to be kept
at that place.

sackville's Stiffness.

WASHINGTON, November 3.-Lord Sack
vile is not the first indiscreet diplomat,
and it is recorded that a minister from
this country once managed to getinto hot
water by meddling with the politics of the
country to which he was accredited. We
had trouble with Minister Sargent at
Berlin at one time, or rather Germany
had the trouble. He took sides with the
most violent of the opponents to the ex-
listing German power, and at one time it
looked as if he would be recalled. The
German minister made no formal demand
and he was permitted to remain there,
though his usefulness was gone. The
German minister here spoke to the secre-
tary of state about Mr.. Sargent's actions,
but in an unofficial way, and the German
government continued to tolerate our
minister. The relations were very much
strained, however, and the effect Of it was
felt in the treatment of the American

HOW 1T LOOKS.
Press Comments upon the Election----Mii Ill
and His Committeeman Reelected.

New York, An "extra" World says:
The election Of the republican national
ticket is probable. Returns received
nrove the tariff reform issue strongest IN
states hopelessly republican. The issue
has not proved strong in doubtful states.
Last adyices make it probable that repnD-
lican gains in the south and east will ex-
ceed all expectation. The members OF
the last ways and means committee, who
nassed the Mills bill, are reelected.
Chairman Mills had hard fight, but his
victory. which is probable, will serve to
emphasize the strength OF the tariff re-
form issue.

sACKvILLE's OFFER.
He is Wanted by Enterprising Dime Mu-
scum Man.

New YORK, Nov. 4.-Lord Sackville-
West cannot escape the American show
man any more than he could the Ameri-
can politician. His mail has been huge
since the recent incident, but probably
nothing will equal in uniqueness and
grim humor the letter that reached him
to-day. It came from this city and was
written by John B. Doris, the ex-circus
manager, who has just opened dime mu-
scum on Eigth avenue. Doris thus ad-
dresses him.
My Lord: Having read the newspapers
carefully in all things appertaining to
your now famous letter to Mr. Murchison
and being deeply interested in your lord
ships movements, I respectfully address
you these lines, hoping they will receive
your lordship's attention. In view of the
fact that you are now without exception
the most prominent man in American pol
itics, and that your lordship will soon be
recalled to your home duties, I beg, in my
capacity as manager Of the greatest mu-
scum in the world, respectfully to make
to your lordship the following offer: ]
will pay your lordship $1,000 per week for
holding two leyees Of two hours duration,
for one week-or two if you prefer them
said levees to be held daily in my mn
scum. I will pay for yonr lordship and
suite while here. An immediate reply
will greatly oblige, your lordship's most
obedient servant.
