swept bx Hure Waves.

The forward promenade deck rails
and those on the upper bridge OF the
French steamer La Champagne were
broken and twisted and the starboard
side of the bridge itself was wrecked
when the vessel reached New York late
from Havre. Second Office Bouche
was suffering with severe bJuises, and
two of the crew were in the ships hos
pital. One OF the sailors Lad his ribs
broken and another was suffering with
an injured spine 1t was all the result
of big wave which struck the steam
ship. La Champagne had just passed
the Scilly Islands when it plunged into
a succession of westerly gales, which
buffeted the ship until after passing the
banks of Newfoundland. 1t ran far
south of the usual course, but caught
the gales just the same.
The engines were running at reduced
speed. All the passengers were kept
below, every door was closed, hatches
battened tight, and EXTRA precautions
taken for the safety Of the vessel. 1t
was making good weather when an
enormous billow washed over the decks.
Second Officer Bouche. who stood on the
bridge, was knocked down and severely
bruised. The great volume OF water
smashed the starboard bridge planking
and two sailors on the spar deck below
were thrown against the steel deck
house with terrific force. They were
carried to the ships hospital Next day
another wave struck the ship, but little
damage resulted. None of the passen-
gers were injured. La Champagne kent
steadily on its course despite the gales
until 1t reached Sandy Hook.
William II. Van den Toorn, General
Manager of the Netherlands American
Line in New York, received a cable from
the Edam's London agent confirming the
dispatch OF the vessel's disablement
According to the message the entire pro-
peller, boss and all, dropped of. This,
he said, was fortunate, as the vessel
would steer better than II a broken
screw was hanging TO the shaft.

Canada Unable to Stop the Stream of
Destitute Immigrants.


1t will be remembered that the Cana
dian Minister of Agriculture took the
first steps toward prohibiting the immi
grafton Of pauper Russian-Jews by re-
questing the signature OF the Governor
General to a proclamation carrying into
effect that clause of the immigration act
which prohibits the landing of destitute
immigrants.
The Minister OF Justice, however, saw
possible danger ahead, and requested
that no action be taken until IL was
learned what decision the United States
courts had rendered with regard to a
case then before them as to the defni-
tion of the pauper immigrant. Sir John
Thompson, Minister Of Justice, ii is un-
derstood, held that to establish the fact
of an immigrant being pauper 1t would
first bs necessary for him to beg, and to
do that he would have to land.
The matter still remains in allegiance
as regards the landing of pauper Jews
in Canada, and 1t Is doubtful whether,
in view of the recent decision of the
United States Courts, any further action
will be taken under the present statute.
In well-informed legal circles IL is con-
tended that further legislation of the
Dominion Parliament will be necessary
before any prohibtory steps will be at
tempted TO prevent these Russian refu-
gees landing in Canada.
