young Chinese woman who has been kept
IN confinement for six months by no.
torious prostitute in this city, rushed out
OF The shanty where she was imprisoned,
and, jumping into vehicle passing at the
time, got away to the Chinese Methodist
Refuge Home, where she was received as
an inmate by the matron
She states that she has been sold seven
times since her arrival here on the En-
press of China last October, and that on
account of the Colonist exposures of Chi
nese traffic in women in that month,
she has been kept in hiding
by her prosecutors ever since, in
order to prevent anybody taking her
from their clutches. She further states
that she has been subjected to all kinds of
cruelty since reaching Victoria, and that
she has tried to escape from it several
times unsuccessfully.
Lin Yam, her keeper, is we'll known
here. She has been arrested several
times, but on account of the interposition
of false witnesses of the highlander So
ciety has never been imprisoned. The girl
is 20 years old and very pretty. 1t is
probable that the affair will lead to some
startling disclosures in Chinatown.

Why Gresham DECLINED.

The following words from Judge
Gresham's own lips tells the nation
why noble; broad minded man
declined the nomination for president:
Il am hourly expecting news from the
old farm that my brother is dead, and
that his family with an aged mother
are left dependent upon me. My
home has II mortgage for purchase
money, my vital energies are impaired,
the result of two wounds received in
the war. l am physically unequal to
make the campaign More than that,
it would mean another mortgage, that
to a man of my age and the claims
upon me, is considerable. With ex-
ception of your sub-treasury scheme,
which to me is visionary and impracti-
cal, there is no difference unless it be
that many entertain stronger hope
than l do that we are to escape u
bloody revolution before this pluto
cracy of wealth surrenders its hold"

No Danger in Free Coinage.

The silver alarmist, who claims that
if we were to have free coinage in this
country foreign silver would be dumped
on our shores, may find it interesting
to note the production Of silver in
this country and Europe. The United
States produced in 1890 $40, 100000
worth of silver; Russia, 1868, 900; Ger
many, 81 100000; Austria, 81, 1903, 500;
France, 1868, $50; Spain, s2,14O;4O0;
Great Britain, $282,375. Now, how
in the name of common sense can
these countries spare any silver, and
still retain any in circulation? Or,
suppose they dump their entire annual
product on our shores, the entire
amount would be only about one
eighth of our production. What nom
sensel We shall export silver for
ages to come.

the greenback candidate for president
in 1880, and in politics has been ag-
gressive and independent, having sue
cessively defeated republican candi-
dates for congress in strongly republi-
can districts. Mr. Weaver is among
those who apprehend danger from the
abnormal growth of corporate power
and its corrupting influence upon the
Legislative and judicial functions of
the country. In that particular he is
in full accord with the mdsses of the
American people. There is no reason
to doubt that the platform adopted at
Omaha will in all particulars commend
his approval, not excepting the SUBJ
treasury loan project, which Is open to
potent objections,
From the standpoint of the News the
essential point is that General Weaver
believes in the free coinage Of silver,
and that he agrees with the people of
this section in regulating the treach-
erous crime by which silver was de-
monetized. His party demands re-
turn to honest bimetallism and he is
reliable exponent of that doctrine.
Ofthe three candidates for the presi-
dency, Mr.. Weaver alone stands for
tho constitutional rights of silver and
he represents party which has had
the courage to express its demand in
unequivocal terms. Those who believe
in equal rights of silver with gold as a
coinage metal have no choice but to
vote for the peoples candidate for
president, or support man, whether
democrat or republican, who is known
to be bimetallism' determined enemy
and who may be relied upon to uphold
the single gold standard now advo-
Gated by the money power of Great
Britain and the United States. Rocky

Makes Hit by Initiating Carmencita--
Deemiug, the Murderer, Said To Be an
"Instinctive Crimsnal"-A Brazilian
State Casts off its Allegiance to the Re-
public.
BRUSSELS, April 1.-THE Indepen-
dence Beige publishes second article
by Senior Manimillano Ibanez on the
United States and South American re-
publics and Europe. He contends that
while the Monroe doctrine in no way
justifes the United States in interfering
with South American affairs, yet the
American government puts the Monroe
doctrine in new shape in order to bring
South America under its thumb. Senior
Ibanez admits that the statesmen of the
North American Union are far too clever
to think Of annexing any South American
territory, as the incorporation of any OF
the Latin republics would bring about a
war of races and shatter the u Mon itself.
Mr., Blaine, however, sees with equal
clearness that with their enormous indus
trial and commercial over-productions
the United States are threatened with inn
mense dangers unless they find fresh
outlets for their products. Therein lies
the secret of the policy OF encroachment
towards South America.
Senior Ibanez also contends that the
Washington Cabinet will never bring the
South American republics to it's recipro-
city views by mere force of persuasion,
as the American-Latin nations would
have to pay the United States 30 per
cent. more for produce than they pay by
purchasing the same in Europe.
The writer openly accuses Mr.. Blaine
Of attempting something stronger than
persuasion to compel compliance from
South America He insinuates that the
reciprocity treaty with Brazil was wrest-
ed from Senior Fonseca by illegitimate
MEANS, that the United States openly
supported Balmaceda against the nation
al rising in order to obtain from Chill a
commercial treaty wholly in favor of the
North American Union; that the Repub-
lican party will renew it with fresh vigor
if the Democrats do not GUST it from
power; that it will likewise attempt to
coerce Argentina unless it combines
with Brazil and Chill to resist Yankee
encroachment; and lastly, Senior Ibanez
quotes the figures of English, French and
German trade with South America to
show how deeply these European coun-
tries are interested in the failure of the
American policy. He concludes by APP
pealing to the governments of France,
England and Germany to combine with
Brazil, Chill and Argentina to thwart the
designs of the government which rules
the Stars and Stripes.
