of its object.
Mr.. Emmeluth thought il was
time to call halt. The line of
demarcation should be set at agri-

Mr.. Tenney-You cant get one.
Mr.. Emmeluth retorted warmly
that the reason you could not get
white servants was because the coun-
try had become SO crowded with
Chinese that white people would
not come here. Two hundred "stu-
dents" arrived yesterday and were
let go scot free.
MIR. Morgan asked about the adj
mission of large numbers Of Japa.
Dese and, on being informed by Min.
lister Smith that they came under
treaty arrangements, he said hU was

were superior to the japanese as
iaborers and more desirable as store.
keepers. Some of the men who were
loudest in the talk against the Chi.
nese were the meu who gave the
Chinese patronage. They had their
clothes made by them aud took their
meals at Chinese restaurants. One
