many of the trying and most fiendish
incidents of the war are shown up in this
drama, unlike other military plays, there
is no firing of guns on the stage. The
camp scene and the tableau of the battle
field of Gettysburgh by night after the

price of admission. A full orchestra
will accompany the drama, DIR. c. L

Ottawa. Ont, Oct. 23.-Advices from
British Columbia are that great excite
ment exists there among the white
laborers over the refusal of the domin-
ion government at IT'S last session to
adopt legislation restricting the imml-
grafton of Chinese labors. The poll tax
IS at present only $50, but this mas not
affected Chinese immigration. Ceies-
tials arrive by hundreds on every
steamer from Hong Kong, and although
hundreds escape across the border into
the United States considerable num-
ber remain IN the Pacific provences.
The presence of battery at Victoria
ani the mihtis on the main land are
said to have prevented riots which other
wise would have occurred within the
last few months. A bill is now before
the British Columbia legislature max
ing II illegal to employ Chinese in coal
